Part 4/8:
Gomez’s involvement in a recent film about a trans drug lord who undergoes gender reassignment surgery drew significant criticism, especially from the Mexican audience. The movie was labeled as "trash" by critics, with particular outrage directed at Gomez’s Spanish speaking scenes. Many Mexican viewers ridiculed her for her imperfect Spanish, criticizing her accent and pronunciation as inauthentic.
This cultural misstep seemingly set the stage for heightened scrutiny when she later expressed publicly her concern for Mexican immigrants facing deportation. Critics argued that her emotional response appeared superficial or calculated, given her limited ties to Mexican culture and her quick retreat from the public eye after posting the video.
