Selena Gomez is no stranger to using her platform to speak out on important social issues, but her latest attempt has sparked intense debate. The singer and actress recently posted—and quickly deleted—a profoundly emotional video in which she broke down in tears over the mass deportation of Mexican immigrants under President Trump’s administration. The backlash was swift, with critics accusing her of being performative while supporters defended her for showing empathy and using her voice.
But beyond the controversy, this moment raises bigger questions: What role do celebrities play in political activism? Why are public figures so often criticised, no matter what they say or do? And what does this all reveal about the current political climate in the United States of America?
