This time, Selena Gomez is under the fire of the critics, rather than the spotlight. The 31-year-old actress and singer is accused by many internet users of not respecting the rules of the Hollywood actors’ strike. Indeed, Selena Gomez posted on Instagram a video of the filming of the series “Only Murders in the Building”, mentioning the official Instagram account of the production and indicating in legend that she “missed” the series.
If the actress revealed in the hit Disney Channel series “Hannah Montana” has since deleted her publication, which remained online for almost a day, she has drawn the wrath of Internet users who have criticized her for not supporting the historic strike movement in Hollywood, which began on May 2 for screenwriters and July 14 for actors.
Selena Gomez deletes Instagram post tagging ‘Only Murders in the Building,’ which goes against SAG-AFTRA’s strike rules.

Indeed, the main actor’s union SAG-Aftra, which represents no less than 160,000 artists, is asking members of the film industry to no longer promote their work by stopping answering interviews, making media appearances or to post content on social networks.
A voluntary publication?
While many believe that this post, which has garnered more than a million “likes”, is a simple mistake by Instagram’s most followed female personality, others believe that this publication was voluntary. A few hours after posting the promotional video for “Only Murders in the Building” on her account, Selena Gomez posted a selfie with the following message: “Say what you think, even if your voice shakes”.
Subliminal message or simple coincidence, the fact remains that Selena Gomez has not publicly admitted to having violated the rules of the strike of actors in Hollywood. However, a few weeks ago, the actress and singer had announced to support this movement.
As a reminder, actors and screenwriters have been calling for better working conditions for several weeks, as well as guarantees in the face of the emergence of artificial intelligence. Several actors recognized around the world, such as George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio or even Nicole Kidman, have financially supported the strike of actors and screenwriters, who deplore the precarious situation of their professions.
