After racist Puerto Rico joke
Selena Gomez also reacts clearly
A racist joke at Donald Trump’s election campaign event continues to affect US celebrities. Now Selena Gomez has taken a clear stand.
Even a few days after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe (40) described Puerto Rico as a “floating mountain of garbage” at a campaign event for Donald Trump (78) in New York’s Madison Square Garden, US stars continue to position themselves against the racist statement. The two actresses Selena Gomez (32) and Zoe Saldaña (46) now announced this. Gomez said she “strongly disagrees with all of the comments that have been made recently.”
Zoe Saldaña laments “so much poverty of character”
The singer and actress, whose family on her father’s side comes from Mexico, continued: “I definitely want to stand by my people.” Saldaña, who will star alongside Gomez in the upcoming film “Emilia Pérez,” also said: “It’s sad that today, in 2024, there is so much poverty of character in so many people that we falsely label as leaders. ” The mother of the celebrated Hollywood actress comes from Puerto Rico.
Selena Gomez has already cast her vote in the US election
Immediately after Hinchcliffe’s racist statement last weekend, Jennifer Lopez (55), Ricky Martin (52) and Bad Bunny (30) expressed outrage on social networks. The top stars with Latin American roots shared video clips of US presidential candidate Kamala Harris (60).
Selena Gomez cast her vote for the US presidential election on October 28th. Before the premiere of the sitcom “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” in Los Angeles, she stopped at a voting mailbox in a sparkling red robe and dropped off her voting documents. She then added an “I voted” sticker to her clutch and left little doubt with a blue heart emoji that her vote went to the Democrats and Harris. With 423 million Instagram followers, Gomez could have a decisive influence on voter turnout.
