Selena Gomez’s boyfriend Benny Blanco and Paris Hilton have been criticized for a ‘sick’ Instagram post in which they dressed up a dying lobster alive.
Blanco, 35, and Hilton, 42, teamed up for a video to tie in his new cookbook and her kitchenware line, but the ill-advised decision to use a live lobster as a prop in the video was lambasted by fans.
Benny opened a box containing the lobster and said, “I have the largest lobster in the world. Oh my God!’
Paris replied: ‘Oh so sad, is it a boy or a girl?’ with Benny saying: ‘Does it have ad**k? Oh my god, it’s alive! It’s still moving!’
A somber Paris replies, “We can’t do this,” referring to killing and cooking the lobster, while Benny says, “What do you mean?” I have the greatest thing in the world, what should we do with him?’

Paris says, “Dress him” before the pair place a crown on the lobster and bejeweled glasses as they make Bloody Marys – placing a drink in front of the lobster.
The pair then posed with the lobster, which now has a “That’s hot!” bandana with claw draped over one of Paris’s handbags.
Fans were quick to criticize the stars, with one writing: ‘Paris I love you but this is sick. Poor lobster.’
Another wrote: ‘Poor animal’ while another typed: ‘I thought Paris liked animals?’
Others wrote: ‘Like he’s literally dying from lack of care’, ‘The lobster is scared…’ and ‘I’m so confused? How do you all think this is okay?”
In July, Hilton was criticized by PETA for purchasing a new teacup Chihuahua from a breeder instead of adopting it from a shelter — and PETA unveiled plans to plaster ads across Los Angeles protesting her decision.
The campaign came about after Hilton took to Instagram to talk about her new pup.
A spokesperson for PETA told DailyMail.com: “The posters will point out that Paris overlooked millions of sweet homeless dogs in American shelters while pimping for the pet breeding industry,” Colley said.
“PETA hopes our street art blitz will remind every celebrity to lead by example and never shop.”

Blanco has gained worldwide fame as Selena Gomez’s partner and even starred alongside her in a raunchy Valentine’s Day post this week. However, the singer was forced to defend her romance after fans were quick to point out that he seemingly shaded her in 2020

Another PETA representative slammed the hotel heiress: “Paris Hilton has apparently been living under a rock for the past decade, because a day in an animal shelter would have shown her how many Chihuahuas already need a home, and five minutes on Petfinder thousands more would appear, including puppies.’

However, the singer was forced to defend her romance after fans were quick to point out that he seemingly upstaged her in 2020.
In 2020, Benny memorably praised her ex Justin Bieber during an interview with Zach Sang, saying, “Justin is not one of those cookie-cutter pop artists. You know, they’re like, ‘This is my new single, and here’s my makeup line,’ but Justin’s like, ‘Yo, I got a pimple and I’m scared.’ Notably, Selena has her own makeup line.
