Selena Gomez experienced a slight gaffe during her speech at a charity event in Los Angeles on Thursday night, and it was related to Diddy!
The singer and actress looked stunning as she stood at the podium addressing a couple of hundred attendees at her Rare Impact Fund Benefit held at Nya Studios West, Los Angeles, when things took an unexpected turn.
Initially, all was well … Selena spoke about her charity’s mission, which collaborates with Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services (DHMS) to tackle the issue of youth suicide prevention.
Then, she stumbled over her next comment while introducing the executive director of Didi Hirsch to the audience, mistakenly referring to them as Diddy due to the similar names.
Watch the clip … the audience quickly noticed Selena’s slip-up and erupted into laughter.
Selena smiled, understanding her mistake and promptly rectified herself while offering an apology … “I genuinely apologize.”
The singer subsequently invited the executive Lyn Morris along with another representative from DHMS to join her on stage as they embraced warmly.
Before long, any thoughts of Diddy had vanished, and the event continued smoothly without further incident.
