Selena Gomez is a 'sick person' for crying on Instagram over ICE raids, says Megyn Kelly

Selena Gomez faced backlash after sharing an emotional video on Instagram addressing ICE deportations.

Megyn Kelly has expressed her opinion that Selena Gomez is "unwell" after the singer posted—and later deleted—a video on Instagram where she was crying over mass deportations occurring in the United States under President Donald Trump.

During a segment on Monday’s episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, the podcast host criticized the Emilia Perez actress for sharing a tearful video with a Mexican flag emoji following reports of 954 ICE raids happening nationwide.

“She’s unwell. Obviously, this is an unwell person,” Kelly said. “And by the way, anybody who takes their phone, works up in tears and posts a video of themselves crying into their phone is sick. That’s a sick person. Tears happen. They tend to happen privately. If they happen publicly, I think you should quickly move on and recover. But I don’t understand the person who works it and tries to squeeze out more tears to make themselves look extra sad. ‘I’m really sad. I know I have hundreds of millions [followers], but I hate this country.’”

Kelly continued, “She deleted it after her fans taught her that the majority of the country stands behind these policies, but I’m sure she was shocked to get any blowback whatsoever.”

In the now-deleted video, Gomez began by apologizing before breaking down in tears.

“All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand,” Gomez said. “I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.”

Gomez later addressed the backlash on her Instagram stories with a follow-up message, saying, “Apparently it’s not OK to show empathy for people.”
