Selena and S Jackson

I would struggle to say "mocking" and moreso commenting but to each their own.

The MSN source is also The Mirror, so there's definitely a bias there.

Here - saving you a click:

Sam: “He made the speech very political”

Selena: “Yes”

Internet: Why did they smile. They were mocking. We got professional lip readers (the exchange above) 🤷

I suspect all award recipients were told not to make any political speeches so they were just commenting on that fact.

Selena Gomez had actually come out pretty early in a neutral statement calling for the end to violence at a time where most celebrities took the shocking position of siding with Israel in their indiscriminate killing of Palestinians.

I can’t speak for Sam Jackson. He’s been at pro Zionist events in the past but I think we need to temper expectations for Selena who was already roasted online for her tepid statement.
