Selena Gomez has expressed her discontent over a derogatory joke made by a comedian invited to perform at a recent Donald Trump rally.
The actress responded to Tony Hinchcliffe‘s comments about Puerto Rico referring to it as a “floating pile of trash“, stating to Variety that she “strongly disagrees with any remarks made recently.”
As a Latina, born in Texas to a family with Mexican ancestry, Selena emphasized her commitment to her cultural heritage, expressing, “I definitely wish to stand in solidarity with my people.”

The joke ignited significant outrage within the Puerto Rican community and among Latinos, prompting Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny to openly support Trump’s competitor, Kamala Harris.
Selena took a moment away from her “Emilia Pérez” film premiere to discuss political matters, coinciding with her social media post where she shared a video of her dropping off her ballot during early voting in California.
