Benny Blanco Stands Firm Against Viral Video Criticism

Benny Blanco Puts His Best Foot Forward

Benny Blanco is making headlines with his humorous yet staunch defense of his personal hygiene. The successful music producer got candid on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after a recent podcast episode sent social media into a frenzy for all the wrong reasons.

Blanco, who recently tied the knot with pop sensation Selena Gomez, found himself at the center of a viral storm when a clip from his new podcast, "Friends Keep Secrets," showed him lounging with noticeably dirty feet and audibly passing gas. Alongside his friend and collaborator, Dave “Lil Dicky” Burd, Blanco faced some serious online backlash.

Setting the Record Straight

Social media users were quick to express their disgust and wonder aloud about how someone with such questionable habits could capture the heart of a pop star like Selena. But Benny was ready to set the record straight with Jimmy Kimmel, blaming the podcast's setting for the mishap.

“First of all, it’s the facility’s fault, it’s not mine,” Benny lightheartedly explained on the show. “I have great feet.”

Backing him up, Lil Dicky took responsibility, admitting that the floors at his place were less than pristine due to the comings and goings of the podcast crew. To prove his point, Benny went barefoot once more, inviting the camera to zoom in on his feet to showcase their freshly cleaned state.

Selena Gomez Unfazed by the Drama

The notorious podcast moment may have irked some, but Selena Gomez remains undisturbed. The couple, who exchanged vows last September, seems more in love than ever, with Selena sharing a sweet moment on Instagram. She posted a photo of the two kissing, captioning it, “I fall more and more in love with you every day my love.”

Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t resist a playful jest. "You need to get an OnlyFans for that thing," he joked, acknowledging Benny's now camera-ready feet. Although there wasn't a defense for the accidental flatulence, it seems Benny's charm and sense of humor are winning in the end.

So, are you grossed out by Benny's podcast antics, or do you admire his laid-back attitude?
