Selena Gomez, one of the most followed celebrities in the world, has been caught in multiple controversies in 2025. From a viral vaping video to drama at the Oscars, here’s a complete look at everything that’s landed her in hot water.
1. Vaping Incident Sparks Health Backlash
Selena was recently spotted vaping just before meeting her friend Taylor Swift in NYC. The moment went viral—and drew sharp criticism. Given her 2017 kidney transplant, many called her out for “reckless behavior.”
Others defended her, pointing out that she may be using vaping to quit smoking. Still, the debate over whether celebrities should act as health role models reignited.

2. Oscar Tension with Karla Sofía Gascón
During the 2025 Oscars, fans noticed Selena keeping her distance from Emilia Pérez co-star Karla Sofía Gascón. The coldness stemmed from past resurfaced comments where Gascón allegedly insulted Selena online.
Though the drama made headlines, Selena remained poised. She later told Variety that she’s proud of her work and wants to “focus on her art.”
3. Emotional Immigration Post Gets Political
In January 2025, Selena posted a teary-eyed video supporting immigrant children. While many praised her compassion, others accused her of being overly dramatic.
The White House responded with comments that seemed to indirectly counter her claims. She later deleted the video but has continued to support immigrant causes more privately.
4. Criticism Over Spanish in Film
Selena’s performance in Emilia Pérez drew criticism from Spanish-speaking fans and even actor Eugenio Derbez, who questioned her fluency.
Selena responded calmly, sharing that she worked hard to learn the language for the role. She added that she’s proud to challenge herself creatively, even if not perfect.
5. Caught Watching Knicks Game at Beyoncé Concert
In a light-hearted but viral moment, Selena was seen checking a Knicks game score on her phone—during a Beyoncé concert. While some laughed, others called it rude.
It became another example of how even minor actions by celebrities get magnified and dissected.

6. Silence on Gaza Conflict Triggers Unfollow Campaign
Back in late 2023, fans criticized Selena for not speaking out about Gaza. When she did post a message calling for “peace for all,” many said it was too vague.
She threatened to leave Instagram over the hate but stayed active. She’s since been involved with UNICEF and other quiet aid efforts.
