A shocking quote attributed to Selena Gomez about husband Benny Blanco changing his underwear only once every seven days sent social media into a frenzy this week.

The alleged remark, which surfaced on X, claimed Gomez preferred “a lil funk” and suggested Blanco swaps his underwear weekly. The post racked up millions of views within hours, with critics branding the supposed habit “gross” and “a biohazard.”

The chatter gained traction following Blanco’s appearance on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, where viewers spotted visible grime on his feet during filming.

The clip quickly went viral, fueling online jokes and scrutiny over the producer’s hygiene.

Blanco later addressed the dirty feet moment on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, blaming the filming location’s floors and joking that he has “great feet.”

However, there is no credible source or official record of Gomez ever making the underwear comment. The viral quote originated from a parody account known for posting fabricated celebrity content, turning what began as podcast chatter into a full-blown online hoax.
