Earlier this month, Role Model, the 27-year-old singer born Tucker Pillsbury, expressed his frustration after losing to Harry Styles in People’s “Sexiest Musician Alive” poll for 2024.
Despite his aggressive campaigning, including humorous pleas on social media, Role Model was named runner-up following a poll that garnered nearly 350,000 votes.
After the results were announced on October 29, Role Model vented on Instagram, accusing People of missing the chance to celebrate an underdog story and mocking Harry’s indifference to the honor.
Meanwhile, Benny Blanco, Selena Gomez’s 36-year-old record producer boyfriend, faced online trolling after being named among the famous men eligible for People’s Sexiest Man Alive title.
Some went as far as to accuse Selena of influencing the nomination. The backlash included harsh comments, with one user calling it a “throw up” moment.
Despite the criticism, Selena publicly supported Benny, sharing heartfelt messages on Instagram about his unconditional love and his efforts to make her favorite Taco Bell dish.
