DigitEye India rated the claim “Video allegedly shows Selena Gomez crying during an Instagram Live following a cheating scandal involving her husband, Benny Blanco.” The claim is false. The video is authentic but it was posted by Gomez in January 2025, showing her crying over the deportations by ICE amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. There is no credible evidence that the video was related to alleged infidelity by Blanco or a breakdown in their relationship..
