Overview
- Blanco’s new video-podcast Friends Keep Secrets premiered Feb. 24, showing him barefoot with visibly dirty soles on a co-host’s sofa as he audibly passed gas and quipped, “Wait, let’s see if you can hear this.”
- Viewers on social platforms condemned the on-camera behavior as unhygienic, with some posts going so far as to urge Gomez to divorce him.
- Gomez responded by posting a loving Instagram Story video kissing Blanco with the caption, “I fall more in love with you every day, my love.”
- The show is co-hosted with Dave Burd (Lil Dicky) and Kristin Batalucco and is positioned to feature high-profile guests including Ed Sheeran, Gwyneth Paltrow and Paul Rudd.
- Coverage also resurfaced Blanco’s 2024 comments to People downplaying frequent grooming and a December viral clip that had already drawn scrutiny of his conduct with Gomez.
