Selena Gomez<\/strong> is catching heat over her relationship with Benny Blanco<\/strong> — and it seems she’s dealing with it by leaning on one of her best gal pals … Taylor Swift<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The singer\/actress stepped out Friday night in NYC for what turned out to be an all-female power dinner with not just Taylor — but Cara Delevingne and Zoe Kravitz as well … and later in the evening, Anya Taylor Joy too. Sophie Turner was a tad bit busy, it seems.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anyway, everybody was dressed to the nines for their pap walk … including Selena, who was in some sort of snake skin outfit that looked great on her. She was clearly ready for pics.<\/p>\n The group of ladies are said to have hit up a venue for Brooklyn for a comedy show, and then went to an Italian joint nearby shortly thereafter. As they came and went, the crew was putting on a pretty united front — with T-Swift, of course, being the main centerpiece.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We know Selena and Taylor are tight, and they’ve gone out for high-profile dinners like this before … so on its face, it’s just a group of friends getting together to paint the town red.<\/p>\n Now, with the added context of this new “controversy” Selena finds herself in as it pertains to Benny — whom she confirmed she was dating this week — it lops on an extra layer of intrigue and speculation, as the timing appears to be too close to be a mere coincidence.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fact is, fans (and haters) of hers suspect this outing might’ve likely been coordinated by Selena herself as a way to send a message to everyone who’s up in arms about Benny.<\/p>\n That message being … I’M HERE, AND I AIN’T GONNA BE SHAMED INTO GOING DARK!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Part of the reason she’s catching flak over Benny — aside from the fact people think she’s “dating down” by being with him — is because of this alleged IG comment she apparently responded to over the past 24 hours … which points to her recent remarks on Palestine.<\/p>\n Someone slammed Selena for feeling the need to be very vocal over her relationship with BB, but shying away from the Palestine-Israel issue and taking a social media break over something objectively more important … to which she replied “you’re right.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If it sounds like an unfair critique … well, you might have an argument that it totally is.<\/p>\n In any case, Selena’s out here with her GFs — who seem to have her back regardless of the latest social media frenzy she finds herself in. There’s always one happening, unforutnatley.<\/p>\n
