In a clip posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, Selena sat in the audience in her lacey red dress, taking in the show.

As Chris Brown’s name was announced as a nominee in the Best R&B category, the Only Murders In The Building star visibly scrunched up her face and did not clap.

On X, the poster of the video wrote: “Selena Gomez‘s reaction to Chris Brown is SO FUNNY.”

“She’s so real for that,” said another.

A third person stated: “It’s the only rational response when it comes to Brown.”

A fourth added: “She was SHADING and I was madly there for it.”

“Abuela so messy,” wrote another social media user.

Another person remarked: “Queen doesn’t support abusers that’s all.”

It seemed that the debate made itself back to the television and film star, with Selena quickly addressing the moment on her Instagram Stories.

She wrote: “I will never be a meme again. I’d rather sit still than be dragged for being myself. Much love.”

SELENA REMEMBERS

In February 2009, Chris physically assaulted his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, 35.

A domestic violence case was brought against the singer after he attacked Rihanna in their car, causing facial injuries so severe that she required hospital treatment.

Chris pleaded guilty to a charge of felony assault and was sentenced to five years of probation, one year of domestic violence counseling, and six months of community service.

He was also handed a five-year restraining order requiring him to remain 50 yards away from Rihanna at all times, reducing it to 10 at public events.

While there was some backlash against Chris following his conviction resulting in radio stations pulling his music from their playlists, he has still had a successful music career.

TAKING THE HIGH ROAD

Selena has faced rumors of beef between herself and Hailey Bieber, 26, after Hailey married Selena’s ex-boyfriend Justin, 29, in 2018.

Hailey and Kylie Jenner, 26, were also branded “mean girls” for their supposed targeting of Selena earlier this year.

Now though, Selena has secured a win, after Rare Beauty was officially named the most popular celebrity beauty brand, beating Kylie’s Kylie Cosmetics and Hailey’s Rhode.

Beauty and wellness marketplace Fresha conducted a study, ranking celebrity beauty brands from most to least popular.

The rankings were completed based on search volume for each brand, Instagram following, TikTok posts, and the number of views per TikTok hashtag.

Rare Beauty came in at No. 1 with an overall beauty score of 94.58 out of 100.

Kylie Cosmetics came in at No. 2 on the list, getting an 88.42 out of 100.

Rhode came in at No. 9, garnering a score of 64.04 out of 100.
