Selena Gomez Claps Back at Eugenio Derbez’s Spanish Roast with Grace (and Sass)

Buy Me A Coffee

Selena Gomez has officially entered the chat after Eugenio Derbez took a shot at her Spanish skills in Emilia Pérez. Spoiler alert: she handled it with the grace of a pop princess and the restraint of someone who doesn’t need drama to sell albums.

The shade went down on the Hablando de Cine podcast, where Eugenio, with the confidence of someone who has never tried to learn Duolingo at 2 a.m., called Selena’s performance “indefensible.” Ouch. His beef? Her Spanish wasn’t perfect in the film. Yes, Selena Gomez—the same Texas-born queen who gave us “Lose You to Love Me”—dared to speak a language she’s still learning.

Eugenio, clearly not a fan of beginner-level anything, compared watching her performance to tuning into a Russian or German film with subtitles. He seemed baffled by the applause Selena was getting, musing, “They don’t speak Spanish.” Because apparently, appreciating effort and talent now requires fluency tests.

But Selena wasn’t about to let that slide. When a clip of Eugenio’s critique hit TikTok (because where else?), she waded into the comments like the cool cousin who shuts down drama at Thanksgiving.

“I get where you’re coming from,” she wrote, probably sipping tea and being unbothered. “I’m sorry I did the best I could with the time I was given. Doesn’t take away from how much work and heart I put into this movie.” Translation? You can drag my Spanish, but you can’t touch my hustle.

She didn’t stop there, though. Eugenio also implied her fans were part of the “problem” for hyping her up. Selena, protective mama bear that she is, clapped back again: “Do not ever say my fans are the problem.” Because if there’s one thing Selena doesn’t mess with, it’s her loyal army of Selenators.

Meanwhile, Emilia Pérez is chilling on Netflix, waiting for everyone to judge for themselves. Pro tip: stream it with snacks, and maybe cut Selena some slack—learning Spanish is hard enough without critics lurking.
