Selena Gomez removes Instagram post. Here's the reason behind move

Selena Gomez's Instagram profile has removed a post that tagged the superstar's Hulu series "Only Murders in the Building". This was done following accusations from several followers regarding potential violation of SAG-AFTRA strike regulations. The post seemed to present a video snippet from the comedy show's set. Within the caption of the video, Gomez tagged the official Instagram account of "Only Murders in the Building" and included the words "Missing and wanting." Within a span of 15 hours, the post garnered over 1.1 million likes before being taken down from Gomez's profile, according to reports.

Efforts have been made to contact Gomez's representative by Variety. However, SAG-AFTRA chose not to provide a statement on the issue.

SAG-AFTRA's guidelines during the strike forbid members from promoting their work through press interviews or social media posts as long as the strike remains ongoing. In the video from the set, Gomez did not speak, nor did she directly urge her followers to watch the show in the caption. Nevertheless, the mention of the official "Only Murders in the Building" account via a tag led followers to assume that the video was indeed related to the Hulu series. The question of whether this constitutes a breach of the rules was under debate. A number of Gomez's followers accused her of going against the strike, with one individual describing the post as "insensitive" amid the ongoing labor actions.


Due to the ongoing strike, neither Gomez nor her fellow cast members have engaged in any interviews concerning Season 3 episodes. New episodes of the show are set to premiere every Tuesday on Hulu, as per reports.

Gomez recently grabbed headlines with her reentry into the music scene, marked by the release of her latest song "Single Soon" on August 25. This track stands as an independent single and is not tied to any specific album at this juncture. Importantly, Gomez is well within her rights to actively promote her music, as doing so does not infringe upon the stipulations of the SAG-AFTRA strike rules.
