Selena Gomez‘s facial expressions were again immortalized in memes, but this time the singer reacted by asking for respect for herself. Through social media, the interpreter of “Calm Down” said she is tired of being mocked and criticized every time she does something.
For this reason, she said she is willing to avoid being herself rather than becoming an image that everyone laughs at. “I will never be a meme again. I’d rather stand still than be dragged for being myself. Much love,” the singer wrote.
Why Selena Gomez Became a Meme After the VMAs
Selena Gomez reappeared at the ceremony after eight years; however, her presence caught everyone’s attention with her facial expressions. Upon hearing that Chris Brown had been nominated in the category of Best R&B video for his collaboration with Chlöe for the song “How Does It Feel,” the singer showed a face of disgust.
It is presumed that this was because he can’t stand what he did to Rihanna when she was his girlfriend. He physically assaulted her in 2009. But that was not the only time the cameras caught her face. She also looked uncomfortable during Olivia Rodrigo’s presentation.
Many said it was because of the alleged feud the singer has with her close friend Taylor Swift, but the reality is that she was shocked by the technical glitches that occurred while Rodrigo was on stage.
The singer’s facial expressions unleashed endless memes and mockery, which tired Selena to the point of demanding a stop on her social networks.
