Fans raced to Twitter on Monday to rip the Golden Globes for not recognizing Selena Gomez, 29, for her role as Mabel on Only Murders in the Building.
The Texas native, who also worked as an executive producer of the show, was not among the five women nominated for Best Television Actress, Musical/Comedy series.
Hannah Einbinder, Elle Fanning, Issa Rae, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Jean Smart were all recognized by the organization, but fans showed their disagreement on social media.
“Golden Globes nominating Only Murders for Best Show, Martin Short and Steve Martin for Best Actor, but not Selena Gomez,” one wrote, while adding a gif of Selena looking shocked.
“SELENA GOMEZ GOT SNUBBED BY THE GOLDEN GLOBES CB SHE DESERVED IT SIAL,” a second ranted.
A third slammed: “The Golden Globes deserves to be canceled. We will be supporting The Critics Choice Awards @selenagomez.”
A fourth contributed the issue to a lack of cultural attributions, writing: “Also Golden Globes you snubbed Selena Gomez for @OnlyMurdersHulu you need more Latina representation as well.”
GRAMMY NOMINEE
Despite her Golden Globe snub, 2021 has still been a prominent year for the child star.
On November 23, 2021, the 2022 Grammy nominees were announced and Gomez earned a nomination for Best Latin Pop Album for her EP Revelación.
Despite having three studio albums and hits like the 2013 song Come & Get It Gomez actually has not earned a Grammy nomination until this year.
The 29-year-old singer took to Instagram to share her joy for the nomination.
“Are you kidding me!? Revelación is nominated for a GRAMMY! This project is so special to me for so many reasons and I could not have made it happen without this incredible team of people by my side,” Gomez wrote.
“I am forever grateful to each and every one of you and of course MY FANS.”
MANDY’S MIRACLE
Despite Selena’s recent successes, she recently experienced some personal troubles after her mother suffered a serious health scare.
The TV star’s mom, Mandy Teefey, revealed she was given only “days to live” after falling ill with double pneumonia earlier this year.
The 44-year-old said it is a “miracle” she survived and slammed trolls for commenting on her recent “weight gain,” which she said was due to the “infection.”
Selena and her mom, along with Newsette founder Daniella Pierson, created a new mental fitness company called Wondermind, and news of the launch was revealed as part of a big cover story for Entrepreneur.
All three of the women posed for photos for the December issue, and Mandy “knew” there would be people commenting on her weight after seeing them.
After receiving enough messages from rude trolls, she decided to shut them all down by sharing her near-death experience.
Mandy wrote on Instagram: “I wasn’t ever going to discuss this, but I knew when the Entrepreneur cover came out comments on my weight were going to be DM’d to me.”
She posted a screenshot of a “polite offer” she got from someone on how to lose weight “instead of the name-calling” she’d also received in her DMs.
The magazine photoshoot took place after she had only been “out of the hospital for maybe 3 1/2 weeks from double pneumonia.”
“I fought. The Drs fought and I was one of the few who made it out.”
She added: “I gained 60lbs plus inflammation from the infection. I never gave up on myself or Wondermind coming to reality.
“I had zero business to be at a photoshoot.
“So, yesterday was a beautiful day for many reasons filled with personal attacks. I’m healthy and I will work on myself at my pace.”
As Mandy called it a “miracle” that she’s even still alive, she said she couldn’t “care less if that means I’m a [size] 16 instead of an 8.”
Aside from the DM screenshot, Mandy also shared shocking photos of her in the hospital.
In one photo, her eyes were barely open and she had a breathing tube in her nose, which was when she said she was given “two days to live.”
