Last week, Benny Blanco inadvertently hit headlines when a video of his unwashed feet began spreading on social media.<\/p>\n

This week, his wife, Selena Gomez<\/a>, has also amassed similarly unwanted attention for her reaction to the musician’s<\/a> tarnished trotters.<\/p>\n

For those who missed it,<\/a> fans of 37-year-old Blanco<\/a> caught an involuntary sneak peek at his toes following the release of his brand new podcast, Friends Keep Secrets.<\/a><\/p>\n

Hosted alongside Dave Burd (‘Lil Dicky’) and the rapper’s wife, Kristin Batalucco, the debut episode of the ‘first-of-its-kind show’ landed on Tuesday (24 February). The premise of the show is an ‘intimate hang with the hosts’ real-life<\/a> friendships and the guests that pop in’, with 18 hidden cameras rigged throughout Dave and Kristin’s Los Angeles<\/a> home.<\/p>\n

\"TheThe debut episode of Blanco’s new podcast raised eyebrows YouTube\/@friendskeepsecrets)<\/p>\n

Prior to releasing the episode, the trio of hosts promised fans the show would blend the elements of a ‘podcast, livestream, and sitcom’, and definitely ‘isn’t a formal interview show’.<\/p>\n

That much before clear, just a few moments into the episode, when music producer Blanco was seen splayed out on the couple’s sofa, the blackened bottoms of his feet on full display.<\/p>\n

One X<\/a> user subsequently hit out: “He’s got some questionable hygiene practices. Another agreed, adding: “Look at his feet. I\u2019m dead.”<\/p>\n

On Reddit<\/a>, a third user noted: “Omg his feet are way too dirty to be on the couch.”<\/p>\n

And after the episode was uploaded to YouTube, a fourth viewer jibed in the comments: “Good podcast, wash your feet, Benny, and wash the floors.”<\/p>\n

In the days since the release of the debut instalment, a second episode has landed, once again honing in on Blanco’s rotten tootsies.<\/p>\n

\"GomezGomez was seen planting a kiss on his feet (YouTube\/@friendskeepsecrets)<\/p>\n

The star’s wife, Only Murders In The Building<\/a> actress Selena Gomez, also features in the follow-up clip, where she is seen kissing the tips of his toes.<\/p>\n

Seemingly referencing the uproar his feet caused during the last ep, 33-year-old Gomez leans in to land a peck before Blanco smiles. She then warns him, ‘Don’t make it a moment\u2019.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the move has once again drawn attention to the couple, with several social media users condemning Gomez’s apparent dirty foot fetish.<\/p>\n

“Please tell me this is AI,” one begged.<\/p>\n

Another joked: “I hope this s**t don’t play in my head during my last moments of living.”<\/p>\n

“Lol that foot is still dirty asf though, disgusting..” a third went on. “Instead of kissing them she should wash those dirty feet.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last week, Benny Blanco inadvertently hit headlines when a video of his unwashed feet began spreading on social…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":312569,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[2003,3623,156,111,139,69,1999,258],"class_list":{"0":"post-312568","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-benny-blanco","9":"tag-celebrity","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz","14":"tag-selena-gomez","15":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312568\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
