Selena Gomez apparently isn’t amused by reports that claim she was dissed by Kylie Jenner after trying to get a photo with Timothee Chalamet.
Speaking to PEOPLE, a source close to the pop star shut down speculation that Selena has beef with Kylie and Timothee, who went public with their relationship last year.
Selena Reportedly Didn’t Talk To Timothee Or Kylie At The Golden Globes
"She was absolutely not referencing anything about Timothée or Kylie," the source said of the viral footage that seemingly showed Selena spilling tea to Taylor Swift and Keleigh Sperry.
The insider claimed Selena "never even saw or spoke to them."
During the event, a guest took a video of Selena leaning into Taylor and Keleigh while they were seated. Though it’s unclear what the singer was saying, some Internet sleuths are convinced Selena was talking about Kylie and Timothee.
Some fans claimed they could read Selena’s lips, and the Disney star said Kylie refused a photo when she tried getting one with Timothee.
Selena received backlash for the footage, with some critics saying she was trying to play the victim. “One thing about Selena Gomez if she’s involved you KNOW she gon be the victim,” one person said online. Another added, “Selena try not to make everything about yourself challenge: impossible.”
However, others said the moment was relatable and innocent, since it was just friends – albeit, famous ones – gossiping amongst each other. "Selena so real. Whenever something happens to me i’m running straight to my girls," one person wrote.
Selena Is Focused On Her New Relationship With Benny Blanco
While Kylie and Timothee are one of Hollywood’s hottest couples at the moment, Selena just debuted her new flame, Benny Blanco. The couple packed on the PDA at the awards show – and even showed more online with their posts following the event.
The pair have been linked since 2019 when they first released a song together. However, they didn’t confirmed their romance until last month, when they didn’t hide their affection on social media.
"She seems to be really feeling herself at the moment," a source told PEOPLE this month of their relationship. "Maybe that's Benny or maybe that's just where she's at personally and professionally."
The insider shared that her co-stars are very protective of her, implying Benny may not have won their approval yet. "Everyone was a fan of hers before Only Murders [in the Building], and now everyone is protective of her,” they continued. “With her cast and crew, the feeling is ‘any boyfriend of Selena’s is a boyfriend of ours.’”
But it appears Selena’s inner circle approves, as Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce liked one of Selena and Benny’s PDA-heavy posts. Perhaps it won’t be long until Taylor and Travis have a double date with Selena and Benny.
