The 'Only Murders in the Building' actress seems to be unfazed by the label put on her after Bella Hadid showed support to Rare Beauty, spending time with her boyfriend Benny Blanco instead.

AceShowbiz - Selena Gomez continues to surround herself with positive energy after opening up about her mental health journey. The singer/actress looked vibrant in new photos shared on her and boyfriend Benny Blanco's Instagram Stories on Thursday, July 4.
Spending time with her boyfriend of almost one year, the "Same Old Love" songstress was captured on camera posing with the record producer in what looks like a backyard. She appeared to be in good spirits, flashing a smile while holding her boyfriend with her two hands as he hugged her from behind.
Benny also took to his own Stories to share two solo snaps of Selena. One of the photos saw the 31-year-old star flashing her bright smile while sitting on a chair. The other was a close-up picture of Selena in a similar pose.
In all of those photos, Selena dressed perfectly for summer in a white tube dress with colorful graphics on it. She appeared to rock her long brunette hair in its natural wavy style but kept it neat with a white headband keeping it away from her forehead. She also sported a pair of chunky gold earrings and minimal makeup.
As for Benny, he matched his girlfriend's style in an all-white outfit. He cheekily grabbed a handful of the "Hotel Transylvania" star's chest while wrapping his arms around her in the photo shared by Selena.
It's unclear if the pair planned a special event to celebrate the 4th of July, but Benny shared another image that featured the two lying down on a lounge chair and sunbathing. While Selena soaked up the sun in her yellow bikini, her musician beau seemingly didn't enjoy the direct sunlight and shielded his eyes with his hand.
Judging from Selena's mood in the new pictures, she seemed to ignore the drama on social media after Bella Hadid posted a picture featuring Selena's cosmetics brand Rare Beauty on her Instagram account. As the model showed support to Selena's cosmetics brand, many pointed out that she used to date Bella's ex The Weeknd, portraying the "Wolves" singer as a villain in her alleged feuds with Bella, Hailey Bieber (Hailey Baldwin), Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner.
However, Selenators have come to the "Wizards of Waverly Place" star's defense, with one stating, "The way Selena has always supported her and never shaded her once but it was her who ignored Selena, which is totally fine but what's weird is how y'all try to paint Selena as a villain which she's clearly not."
