Selena Gomez is setting the record straight on her performance in Emilia Perez after receiving criticism for her Spanish.

The Love On hitmaker, fresh from securing two Golden Globe nominations, took to TikTok on Sunday, December 8, to address criticism from a 63-year-old about her language skills.

Selena wrote in the comments section, “I understand where you are coming from. I’m sorry I did the best I could with the time I was given. Doesn’t take away from how much work and heart I put into this movie.”

This comes on the heels of CODA’s Eugenio Derbez’s comments about the former Disney star’s Spanish as a non-fluent speaker.

During an upcoming episode of the Hablando de Cine podcast, he told Gaby Meza, “I was there with people and every time a scene came, we looked at each other to say, ‘Wow, what is this?’”

However, he had a change of heart after Selena responded in the politest manner.

The Mexican actor was quick to admit his mistake as he wrote in response, “I truly apologize for my careless comments—they are indefensible and go against everything I stand for. As Latinos, we should always support one another. There’s no excuse. I was wrong, and I deeply admire your career and your kind heart.

“Emilia Pérez deserves to be celebrated, not diminished by my thoughtless remarks,” he continued. “I’m walking away from this with an important lesson learned. While I understand if you cannot accept my apology, please know it comes from the heart.”

It’s been a phenomenal year for Selena, marked by numerous accolades for her outstanding performances.
