In a shocking turn of events that has sent social media into a frenzy, Benny Blanco has finally spoken out about the explosive cheating rumors linking him to pop sensation Selena Gomez. The viral whispers, which began circulating online just days ago, have sparked heated debates among fans, fellow celebrities, and gossip outlets worldwide.
For days, the internet has been ablaze with speculation after a blurry video clip appeared on TikTok, allegedly showing Benny in a compromising situation at an exclusive Hollywood afterparty. The clip, paired with cryptic posts from anonymous insiders, led many to believe that Blanco may have been unfaithful to the “Calm Down” singer.
The Viral Clip That Started It All
The drama began when a now-viral video surfaced showing a man — who fans claim is unmistakably Benny Blanco — getting a little too close to an unidentified woman at a dimly lit event last weekend. Though the video is grainy, internet sleuths were quick to dissect every frame, with one user noting, “That’s his chain, his watch, and even his laugh. Don’t play with us, Benny.”
Adding fuel to the fire, another partygoer allegedly leaked a screenshot of what they claim is a conversation with someone from Benny’s entourage, hinting at tension between him and Selena following the incident.
Benny Blanco’s Public Statement
After nearly 72 hours of silence, Benny Blanco finally broke his silence via an emotional Instagram Story earlier today. In a carefully worded statement, Benny neither directly confirmed nor denied the rumors but addressed the situation’s toll on both himself and those involved.
“I want to address what’s been circulating online. The past few days have been incredibly tough. I’ve made mistakes in my life, but one thing I’ve always tried to do is protect the people I love,” Benny wrote.
He went on to express deep regret over the pain the situation has caused, adding:
“Selena means the world to me. She has been my friend, my partner, my biggest supporter, and no one deserves to be dragged into public speculation like this.”
While many fans applauded his honesty, others felt the statement was evasive and lacking a clear denial.
Selena Gomez’s Reaction
As of now, Selena Gomez has yet to issue a public comment regarding the situation. However, eagle-eyed followers noticed that Selena recently unfollowed several mutual friends on Instagram and posted a cryptic quote on her Stories reading, “Sometimes, silence is the loudest answer.”
Fans have interpreted this as a possible dig at Benny, with one fan tweeting, “Selena deserves better. Period.” and another adding, “The fact that she’s being this silent speaks volumes. We see you, girl.”
Hollywood Reacts
The celebrity world has also chimed in. Notably, Hailey Bieber and Demi Lovato have reportedly “liked” shady posts about “knowing your worth” and “walking away from what no longer serves you” on social media in recent days. The coincidence hasn’t gone unnoticed by fans, who suspect silent alliances are forming behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, a source close to the situation told E! News, “Selena’s heartbroken. She trusted Benny more than most people in her life. Whether this rumor is true or not, the betrayal of trust feels real.”
What’s Next for Benny and Selena?
Insiders say the two haven’t been seen together since the rumors broke and that planned appearances for an upcoming charity event have quietly been canceled. Publicists for both parties have refused to comment beyond Benny’s personal statement.
As the drama continues to unfold, fans are left questioning whether this marks the end of one of Hollywood’s most unexpected yet adored romances.
For now, all eyes remain on Selena’s next move. Will she forgive and move on, or will this be the scandal that officially drives them apart? One thing is certain: the internet won’t be done talking about this for a while.
