Selena Gomez reveals her DISASTROUS First Date with Benny Blanco!

It is old news that Selena Gomez is dating  Benny Blanco. But the Internet seems to have a hard time picturing the two of them together.  Something about the couple screams “mismatch” and “unfit”. But there must be a reason this couple  is garnering so much hate from the internet, right? This is exactly what we  are here to tell you today. Trust me, once you hear how Selena Gomez's  and Benny Blanco’s first date went down, you will finally understand why  selenators think Benny is the most probl

ematic boyfriend Selena has  ever had. And it seems like Selena is finally coming to terms with the fact that  her choice might be a bit bizarre. There is no reason why she would say that: “Honestly, I have to start being attracted to the right kind of people.” But let's rewind a bit and start from the beginning. Selena and Blanco made  their relationship official on December 7th 2023 when she replied to a rumour about  them dating with “facts”. She also added: “He is my absolute everything in

my heart.” Ever since then, there have been countless  public affirmations, especially from Selena’s side. She continues to post pictures of the  two of them together. And let's just say, the pictures are STEA-MY. Their relationship  has almost hit the six-month mark, which is pretty impressive for a celebrity couple. There have been plenty of public hangouts. Selena and Benny have attended several award shows  together. But nothing can really beat their disastrous first date. Their first publi

c  appearance occurred on January 3rd 2024, days before the two had officially begun dating.  And this was the moment the fans finalised their impressions over this couple. Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, stepped onto the NBA scene, solidifying their  status with a public debut at a Lakers game. However, what should have been a glamorous affair  filled with public displays of affection turned into a debacle that would soon capture  the attention of social media. Amidst the glitz and excitement of

the game,  Selena and Benny indulged in the customary courtside PDA, eliciting smiles and whispers  from onlookers. They laughed, held hands, and cuddled throughout the event, seemingly  lost in their own world of romance. The crowd's attention shifted to  them as they graced the Jumbotron, prompting laughter from Selena, who  appeared radiant in a chic ensemble. But amidst the blissful moments captured on  camera, a controversy brewed. What was meant to be a romantic evening soon turned into a

controversy  that would haunt Benny for days to come. As the game unfolded, Benny made a decision  that would change the course of their date night. Ignoring the social norms and etiquette of  public outings, Benny brazenly took off his shoes, much to Selena's embarrassment and the shock  of those around them. To make matters worse, it was revealed that Benny wasn't wearing socks,  leaving his bare feet exposed for all to see. The gesture, meant perhaps to signal a sense of  comfort or nonchala

nce, backfired spectacularly. Selena's initial amusement quickly turned to  mortification as the online world erupted with criticism and ridicule directed at Benny's unusual  behaviour. Memes and comments flooded social media platforms, making their disastrous first date  the subject of widespread public scrutiny. Despite Selena's attempts to diffuse the situation  and salvage what was left of their evening, the damage had been done. As they left the  game, the atmosphere between them was tense.

And why would it not be? With such crazy  and possessive fan-following, Selena should have at least warned Benny before-hand about  how he was supposed to act in public. She tried to mitigate the damage by coming to  her boyfriend's defence time and again. Indact, till date she is still justifying that Benny is  the right choice for her, no matter how much the social media disagrees. I know what you all are  thinking. Why do the fans not like Benny? Even though Selenators really love her, they 

sometimes find it hard to accept her growing up from her Disney days. More than that, the  fact that her fans think her choice of partner is way below what she actually deserves. But  even that is not the main reason Benny seems to be on the hate list of seoena’s fans. The  truth is that Benny Blanco might have said some rather mean things about her in the past. And  Selena's fans are at Benny’s neck for it. Benny Blanco got into trouble with her fans  because firstly he used to be friends with

her ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber. He even made a  song with Justin called "Lonely." not just that, he can't stop gushing about Juatin’s  talent and work ethics, which is a solid No-No for selenators by the way. Selena’s fans think Justin should no longer influence her life anymore. But even that wasn't  the worst part. What really upset Selena's fans was when Benny said something that sounded like  he was making fun of Selena in an interview. He taunted those boring artists who don't feel  like

music is enough and started their own side kicks like selling stuff, like makeup. This  was a direct jab at Selena who had just launched her makeup line, Rare Beauty. This infuriated the fans because they did not expect Benny to give such harsh statements  especially when he had worked with her on her song "I Can't Get Enough" just a year before. So simply stating, Selena's fans don't like Benny because they feel like he  disrespected Selena. But Selena can't care less. She comes to his defence

  whenever she gets the opportunity. Initially, when her fans commented on her  PDA-filled posts about their view of the relationship, many a times Selena has gone totally  defensive and called out her own fans. When a fan commented that Selena seemed mad” about her  fans reacting to the news of their dating, she schooled him saying that she is not mad.  But she will continue to defend her friends, family and fans till she dies. This was followed  by her saying that if her fans cared about her,

they'd see that in Benny lies her happiness. Selena even agreed that her choice of boyfriends is not very appreciable. Many of her high-profile  relationships turned out to be the cause of her heartbreak, and the resulting split up  damaged Selena a lot. Take Justin Bieber and the Weeknd for example. Too bad, it seems  she still hasn't learned her lesson. According to her, among the lot of her bad  choices, Benny is still at the bottom of the list. This is why she came to her  boyfriends defence

and said that: “Then why has he been the best thing that's  ever happened to me? He is still better than anyone I've ever been with. Facts.” Even after many attempts of Selena trying to salvage Benny’s ruined first impression, she  did not stop trying to make her relationship look “Hollywood perfect”. When nothing else seemed to work, she tried another tactic. She would let  everyone know how perfect they were for each other by posting PDA-filled pictures and  love notes on her social media. W

ith that, she would go around giving interviews about how  she has always been a target of internet bashing no matter what she does. Their disastrous first date served as a harsh lesson in the importance of social decorum  and the power of public perception, leaving Selena and Benny to wonder if their relationship  could weather such a public embarrassment. But they came out stronger and proved to the  world that they could make it work. Although it doesn't seem like Benny is  stopping his bizar

re antics anytime soon, which leaves us to wonder: how many times  will Selena have to come to Benny’s rescue? And if something like this ever happens again, do  they have it in them to counter it like they did the first time? How long will it take for their  relationship to crumble under the constant public scrutiny and criticism? While we hope Selena  remains resilient on her decision to date Benny, we can't help but worry. Drop your thoughts in  the comments below! If you don't want to miss o
