Selena Gomez, the queen of wholesome Instagram posts and viral moments, has done it again! This time, it¡¯s not just about her latest music release or acting gigs¡ªSelena is making headlines for delivering a killer clapback to U.S. Senate candidate Sam Parker.
Here¡¯s the tea: the drama kicked off when Selena shared a tear-jerking video on Instagram (which she later deleted) addressing the horrific impact of Trump-era deportation policies on immigrant families. The star, who¡¯s of Mexican-American heritage, got emotional as she spoke out about children and families being torn apart. ¡°All my people are getting attacked¡ I don¡¯t understand. I wish I could do something, but I can¡¯t,¡± she tearfully expressed.
While her post sparked tons of love and support from fans and immigrant advocacy groups, not everyone was feeling the vibe. Enter Sam Parker, who decided to drop an inflammatory comment calling for Selena¡¯s deportation. As if we needed more chaos in the political world! On the other hand, netzines also trolled her for crying like that on the internet.
Selena Gomez claps back with a witty Instagram story
But did Selena let this slide? Absolutely not. Instead, she hit back in her signature sarcastic style. She took to her Instagram stories and wrote, ¡°Oh Mr. Parker, Mr. Parker. Thanks for the laugh and the threat.¡± Cue the mic drop. Selena Gomez, known for keeping her cool, turned this whole mess into a masterclass in humor and poise.
The internet erupted. Fans flooded social media, praising Selena for effortlessly handling the situation like a true boss. One fan tweeted, ¡°Selena is the definition of class. Who else could turn a threat into a viral moment?¡±
Selena¡¯s response isn¡¯t just a mic-drop moment; it¡¯s a subtle reminder to politicians that public figures like her will continue to stand up for the rights of marginalized communities¡ªno matter how controversial the opposition. And the clapback? Well, it¡¯s proof that Selena can face adversity head-on while still making us laugh.
The real question is: will Sam Parker step up with an apology, or will he keep trying to drag Selena into his messy political drama? Either way, we¡¯re here for it.
