AceShowbiz - During a recent episode of "The Megyn Kelly Show," the host and former TV presenter Megyn Kelly criticized Selena Gomez's emotional response to ICE raids under Donald Trump administration.

Gomez, who initially posted a video of herself crying and expressing sorrow over the deportation of nearly 1,000 individuals, deleted the video shortly after posting it. In the video, which included a Mexican flag emoji, Gomez said she felt powerless to help directly in light of the ongoing situation.

"She's unwell. Obviously, this is an unwell person," Kelly commented, criticizing the "Emilia Perez" star's decision to publicize her tears. The host went on to condemn the act of recording and sharing such personal moments for social media.

"And by the way, anybody who takes their phone, works up in tears and posts a video of themselves crying into their phone is sick. That's a sick person. Tears happen. They tend to happen privately. If they happen publicly, I think you should quickly move on and recover."

"But I don't understand the person who works it and tries to squeeze out more tears to make themselves look extra sad. 'I'm really sad. I know I have hundreds of millions [followers], but I hate this country.' "

Following the backlash, Gomez's team did not provide an immediate response, and the original video has since been removed from her social media platforms. However, the singer did share another message on Instagram stories, stating, "Apparently it's not OK to show empathy for people."

Kelly speculated that Gomez removed the video due to the negative feedback from her fans, some of whom support the deportation policies. "She deleted it after her fans taught her that the majority of the country stands behind these policies, but I'm sure she was shocked to get any blowback whatsoever," Kelly said.
