Benny Blanco branded 'disgusting' as new photo emerges of his feet
Selena Gomez’s husband, music producer Benny Blanco, has found himself at the center of an online storm — and it’s not because of his latest creative venture.
The 37-year-old launched his brand-new podcast, Friends Keep Secrets, on Tuesday. But instead of focusing on the content, viewers were left stunned by something far more unexpected.
Fans Distracted By Benny Blanco’s ‘Dirty Feet’ During Podcast Debut
During the episode, Benny appeared relaxed — perhaps a little too relaxed.
Throughout the chat, he placed his feet up on the sofa, and eagle-eyed viewers quickly noticed what they described as visibly dirty soles.
Social media users immediately took to X, formerly Twitter, to voice their disgust and confusion.
Some questioned the cleanliness of his home, while others wondered whether he had been walking outside barefoot before filming.
One user didn’t hold back, writing: “Bro needs to take a shower and hire a better house cleaner.”
Others chimed in with reactions that ranged from disbelief to outright horror: “I am HORRIFIED. not even a minute into this benny podcast and am in complete disbelief."
Some fans even directed their frustration toward Selena Gomez, sharing their sympathy — and criticism.
One person wrote: “i can't do this anymore.... what does selena see in him?”
While a second added: “That is disgusting idk how selena dealing with this”
Inside The ‘Friends Keep Secrets’ Podcast With Dave Burd And Kristin Batalucco
Despite the backlash, Benny’s new project is an ambitious one. He has teamed up with Dave Burd — better known as Lil Dicky — along with Burd’s wife, Kristin Batalucco.
The trio’s podcast features appearances from major A-list names, including Ed Sheeran, Gwyneth Paltrow and Paul Rudd.
Speaking about the concept in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Benny explained: “We're kind of blurring the line of, is it streaming? Is it a podcast? Is it an interview series? Is it a TV show? Is it NPR's Tiny Desk?
“You see Ed [Sheeran] come on and we're making a song from scratch.”
The format appears designed to mix conversation with creativity, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how music can come together in real time.
Viral Lakers Game Moment Left Fans ‘Cringing’
This isn’t the first time Benny and Selena have gone viral for an awkward reason.
Back in December, the newlyweds attended a Los Angeles Lakers game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
As the couple made their way through the stadium to their seats, Selena was seen walking behind Benny and reaching for his hand.
However, Benny appeared completely absorbed in the bustling arena atmosphere.
With his hands tucked in his pockets, he continued walking ahead, seemingly unaware that his wife was trying to hold his hand.
It wasn’t until Selena paused to take a selfie with a fan that Benny appeared to notice and hurried back toward her.
The clip quickly circulated across social media, prompting waves of second-hand embarrassment from viewers.
