During the 2023 MTV Video Music Award ceremony, Selena Gomez showed her disapproval of controversial popstar Chris Brown. When they announced Chris Brown as a nominee for Best R&B for his song with Chloe Bailey called “How Does It Feel,” Selena Gomez was caught on camera making a displeased face and scrunching up her nose to show her disapproval.
This isn’t the first time someone has publicly criticized Chris Brown. He has faced criticism for his past violent actions, including his assault on Rihanna in 2009. After the video of Selena Gomez’s reaction went viral, she responded with a simple “lol who cares” in a comment on a post by iheartradioau.
After Selena’s reaction received a lot of attention on social media, she posted on her Instagram Stories, expressing her displeasure with those who turned her reactions into memes. She wrote, “I will never be a meme again. I’d rather sit still than be dragged for being myself. Much love.”
Last November, Kelly Rowland defended Chris Brown when he was booed after winning Best Male R&B Artist at the American Music Awards, even though he was not present. She stated that “we all need to be forgiven” and emphasized the importance of grace.
Even Chloe Bailey took heat when she said she’s doin’ a song with Chris Brown. Critics were like, “You can’t make music with an abuser!” But Chris Brown said, “Don’t keep hating me for a mistake I made as a 17-year-old.” He thinks he’s had it worse than white celebs with similar domestic abuse allegations.
At the VMAs, Selena Gomez not only reunited with Taylor Swift but also won the Best Afrobeats award for her featured role on Rema’s “Calm Down,” a track that recently reached 1 billion streams on Spotify.
