A Texas Republican is accusing Selena Gomez of crying “crocodile tears” in a since-deleted video of the star sobbing that was posted amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
“@SelenaGomez’s crocodile tears aren’t for deportations — it’s a PR stunt to distract @TheAcademy from Hispanics HATING her movie,” Rep. Monica De La Cruz (R-Texas) said on the social platform X on Monday.
In the clip that had appeared on Gomez’s Instagram page before reportedly being removed on Monday, the “Only Murders in the Building” star was seen wiping away tears as she said, “All my people are getting attacked,” with an image of the Mexican flag appearing onscreen.
