More about the allegations of Benny Blanco cheating on Selena Gomez
The controversy first started gaining traction when fans noticed that Gomez had unfollowed Theresa Marie Mingus on Instagram. Mingus, who was the popstar's assistant and a long-time friend, had not shown signs of any public fallout until then.
The unfollow coincided with a viral post by an X user (@myohmytay) on May 1, 2025, that alleged that Benny Blanco, Gomez's fiancé, had subscribed to Mingus's OnlyFans account. While there is no verified evidence of such a subscription, the allegation drew a lot of attention.
The thread, which has garnered over 25k likes as of May 3, 2025, also featured an unverified TikTok video in which the user is singing a Selena Gomez song to Blanco and a woman he is dining with.
Fans have speculated that the unidentified woman in the TikTok video is Mingus and that the two were out for dinner by themselves.
So far, there have been no statements regarding the controversy from Benny Blanco, Selena Gomez, or Theresa Marie Mingus. While Selena no longer follows Mingus on Instagram, Mingus follows both Blanco and Gomez on the social media platform as of May 3, 2025.
