Selena Gomez recently caused a stir after deleting an Instagram post. The post, which featured a behind-the-scenes clip from her show Only Murders in the Building, was captioned with the phrase ‘Missing and wanting’ and included a tag for the show’s official account.
This post sparked debate amongst fans as to whether Selena had broken the rules of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. This strike prohibits members of the Screen Actors Guild - American of Television and Radio Artists from promoting their work, either through press interviews or social media posts.
The post generated over 1.1 million likes in the 15 hours before Selena removed it from her profile. Some fans slammed her actions as "tone-deaf" according to Variety.
Thousands of actors have been striking since June 14th in order to fight for better wages, amongst other demands. It is the first time since 1960 that both actors and writers have picketed film and television production companies. Many celebrities are supporting the strike, with actors such as Bryan Cranston, Jane Fonda, Adam Sandler, and Brian Cox being seen on the picket line recently.
Selena and her co-stars, which also include Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd, have not given any interviews about the latest season of Only Murders in the Building, which started airing last month.
The Agency has contacted Selena's representatives for comment, and Only Murders in the Building is streaming on Disney Plus. If you’ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures, the The Agency entertainment team would love to hear from you.
