What did Benny Blanco say about Margot Robbie? Producer faces backlash for comment next to Selena Gomez

A viral clip from Benny Blanco's podcast has prompted widespread discussion online after the music producer named Margot Robbie as the most beautiful celebrity while appearing alongside his wife, Selena Gomez.

The moment occurred during an episode of Friends Keep Secrets, hosted by Blanco, Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco, with Gomez joining the conversation as a guest.

During a discussion about celebrity crushes, Blanco was asked which famous person he considered the most beautiful. Without hesitation, he replied, “Margot Robbie.”

Gomez appeared surprised by the answer and, after a brief pause, responded: “Where the f**k did that come from?”

The exchange was presented on the podcast as light-hearted banter between the hosts. However, after the clip circulated across social media, many viewers criticised Blanco's remark, arguing it was insensitive given Gomez was sitting beside him.

Several fans shared their reactions online, with one TikTok user writing, “I'm so done with this man.”

Another commented, “Selena is better than me I would've said Justin,” referencing Gomez's previous relationship with Justin Bieber.

Others expressed sympathy for the singer and actress. “How humiliating,” one user wrote, while another asked, “Is there one good thing about this dude? Like, genuinely.”

Neither Blanco nor Gomez has publicly responded to the online reaction surrounding the podcast clip.

The exchange continues to generate debate across social media, with viewers divided over whether Blanco's answer was simply playful conversation or an inappropriate comment made in front of his wife.
