In the roast, Gomez’s Mexican heritage was used as fodder for jokes, which many fans now see as an unnecessary and harmful attack. With the current crisis of the deportation of immigrants, Gomez’s heartfelt response has brought attention to the ugly realities faced by her community.
Along with the video, hate comments are also rising, questioning her privilege as a third-generation descendant of Mexican immigrants. Cynical fans took no time to attack her and hurled disgusting comments, that again proved celebrities are not immune from hate.

Selena Gomezshared an Instagram story on Monday where she was seen sobbing over the attack on illegal immigrants at the Southern border after Donald Trump’s new immigration policy. With the Mexico flag sticker on the story, the actor was seen crying while saying“All my people are getting attacked.”
The story was since deleted from her account after getting enough backlash. The angry fans even brought up the old roast video ofJustin Bieberfrom 2015 that mentions Gomez being Mexican. The roast video included celebrities like Kevin Hart, Jeff Ross, and Snoop Dogg, who roasted Bieber in the Comedy Central Roast.

It was the stand-up comedian Jeff Ross who brought down the Selena Gomez reference in the roast saying,“Selena Gomez wanted to be here but she’s dating men now,”he continued–
Is it true that you dumped her because she grew a mustache before you? Selena Gomez had se* with [you]… proving Mexicans will do the disgusting jobs Americans won’t do.”
The video is emerging once again, calling out Gomez for her stand. However, some sincere fans took on her side, supporting her for taking a stand. People on Twitter (X) also pointed out that Hollywood has always been racist towards Mexicans.
I’m not surprised Selena Gomez is the only Celebrity standing up for her fellow Mexicans right now, Hollywood has always been racist towards her and Mexicans, and they’ve always proved it. This is SICKENING OMGpic.twitter.com/ZgWvlQNyOq
You’ve got to be sick in the head to think that all this is funny, don’t laugh at what you’d hate to be done to you
Fans also called out others who misguidedly shrugged off the roast as merely comedic, saying it was not just roast but pure racism.
That wasn’t a roast at all. It was pure racism
Fans always tended to embroil Bieber and Gomez together, the current matter is no exception. The couple started dating in early 2011. They were in an on-and-off relationship for almost a few years and finally broke up in 2018.
Selena Gomez previously supported her immigrant rights in a documentary
It is not unknown to her fans that theEmilia Perezactor’sfamily came to the USA from Mexicoin search of a better life. When deportation policies by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (IMF) threatened her people, she felt deeply saddened and took to Instagram to share her heartfelt sorrow. Fans quickly defended her post while highlighting her previous support for immigrant lives.
Gomez, incredibly proud of her roots, produced a Netflix documentary in 2018 titled,Living Undocumented. The docuseries showcased the lives of undocumented families in the USA. She also mentioned that her grandparents are Mexican immigrants and how she is blessed to have this life, saying–
I don’t think people realize that my family… my grandparents were immigrants. To just think about the life I’ve been given and how blessed I am, my hope is that I see change.
The actor and singer has always been vocal about social justice and immigration issues, as she recently reflected on her stance during a Los Angeles premiere of her filmEmelia Perez. When asked about controversial remarks on immigration at the Trump rally, she replied“I definitely want to stand by my people.”
Among all the angry posts there was also one from the US Senate candidate Sam Parker, who called out Selena for being a descendant of Mexican illegal immigrants following a tweet“Deport Selena Gomez.”

Despite moving on, with Bieber now married to Hailey Bieber and Gomez engaged toBenny Blanco, the fans’ fixation on their past is relentless. The current discussions surrounding the roast and illegal immigration serve as a stark reminder that racism in Hollywood and society at large is still very much alive and must be confronted head-on.
