"Own worst enemy" - Fans rip Selena Gomez for watching Pacers vs Knicks in private suite during Beyonce concert

Selena Gomez made a bold choice with her latest Instagram story on Tuesday. She was not in Indianapolis for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, attending Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour performance in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Fans reacted to Gomez's post that showed her watching the New York Knicks play the Indiana Pacers on a phone while on Beyoncé's show.

Her story spurred a variety of responses from fans. Some were shocked that she was in a private suite at a friend's show and chose to watch Game 4 instead. Others were confused as to why it was being made such a big deal.

The Knicks lost Game 4 130-121 to the Pacers, falling behind 3-1 in the series. She and other celebrities have one more chance to see their team play at Madison Square Garden as they fight to keep their season alive. Gomez and other stars have shown out throughout the postseason, but Game 5 could be their team's last.

One fan went as far as to say that she is putting herself in a poor position with her post.

In suites like that there’s TVs that shows the concert. I know if she were to sit closer and show herself you guys would record her 24/7 and still hate on her lol

I’m confused cause literally what is she doing wrong….

Gomez and Beyoncé have been friends for years, attending one another's concerts and supporting one another. However, her social media post has fans asking why she attended the show at all if she was just going to be watching the basketball game instead.

Selena Gomez's Knicks fandom goes back years

The singer might be from Texas, but she gravitated toward the New York Knicks and has been a fan of the team for years. She has attended New York's games throughout the last few seasons with other celebrities, including Benny Blanco.

While more attention is paid to Knicks super fans like Spike Lee or Timothée Chalamet, she is another star who supports the team.

She and other New York fans expect a lot from their team, and the 3-1 deficit they face in the Eastern Conference finals has them concerned.

Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers have been playing well throughout the series, while both of the Knicks' All-Stars have struggled. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns need to win three games in a row to advance to the NBA Finals.

Gomez and others will pack out Madison Square Garden for Game 5 on Thursday at 8:00 p.m. ET. While her decision to post that she was watching the game at a concert opened her up to backlash from fans, her fandom could not be denied.
