Gomez Posts Video from Set of "Only Murders in the Building"


Selena Gomez seemingly took down an Instagram post after being accused of breaking SAG-AFTRA strike rules. The post, which was uploaded on August 29, showed Gomez on the set of her Hulu series "Only Murders in the Building".

The post was met with criticism from some fans, who pointed out that Gomez is a member of SAG-AFTRA, the union that represents actors and other entertainment industry workers. SAG-AFTRA is currently on strike against Hollywood studios over issues such as pay equity and diversity.



Some fans argued that Gomez's post violated the strike rules, which prohibit members from working or promoting projects that are not in compliance with the union's contract. SAG-AFTRA has not commented on whether Gomez violated the strike rules.


Gomez's Management Team Responds


Gomez's management team responded to the controversy in a statement to Variety. "Selena Gomez is a strong supporter of the arts and artists, and she is committed to supporting the work of her colleagues in SAG-AFTRA," the statement said. "She was unaware that her social media post violated any SAG-AFTRA rules, and she has removed it."


The SAG-AFTRA Strike


The SAG-AFTRA strike began on July 1, 2023. The union is seeking a new contract with Hollywood studios that would address issues such as pay equity, diversity, and residuals. The strike has impacted production on many television shows and movies.


The Future of the Strike


It is unclear how long the SAG-AFTRA strike will last. The union and the studios have been negotiating, but they have not yet reached an agreement. Some experts believe that the strike could drag on for months or even years.


Wrapping Up


It remains to be seen whether Gomez will face any consequences for her Instagram post. However, the incident has highlighted the importance of the SAG-AFTRA strike to many actors and other entertainment industry workers. The strike is a fight for better working conditions and fair pay, and it is something that many people in the industry are passionate about.
