The internet recently couldn’t get enough of Benny Blanco. After years of watching Selena Gomez navigate public heartbreak, fans were thrilled to see her so happy with someone who seemed to truly get her. Clips from their heart-to-heart with Jay Shetty had people gushing, turning “Why Benny?” into “I want a Benny.”
But it didn’t take long for things to get messy. This week, fans started buzzing after Selena quietly unfollowed her longtime friend and former assistant, Theresa Marie Mingus, on Instagram. The move came just as a viral post on X (formerly Twitter) claimed that Benny had allegedly subscribed to Theresa’s OnlyFans account.
There’s been no confirmation from anyone involved, but speculation picked up fast. Some fans also noticed that Theresa had been posting about Benny, including his People's “Sexiest Man Alive” feature, and had reportedly visited his home when Selena wasn’t around. The timing of it all has left fans wondering if there's more to the story.

Meanwhile, some also said that instead of unfollowing her best friend, she should have taught a lesson to her fiancé. "He subscribed to her friend's OF, and she unfollowed her FRIEND first, not cutting off the boyfriend. While Theresa is a b!tch for going to his house when she is not there and all that and deserved to be cut off, I just know Selena is not going to let Benny go," the user said.
