Share:

Rare Beauty’s gala, an initiative Gomez launched in 2020, aims to raise funds for youth mental health—a cause she considers essential due to her own experiences. During the annuel event, which took place on October 24 in Los Angeles, Selena Gómez (Rare Beauty’s funder) shared personal moments, discussing how her bipolar diagnosis in 2020 gave her life new direction and inspired her to establish the Rare Impact Fund.

She explained to attendees that her goal is for other young people, including her younger sister, to grow up in a more understanding world with greater access to mental health resources. Gomez encouraged everyone not to isolate themselves during challenging times and to find trusted people with whom to share their feelings.

But at the gala,Gomez stood out not only for her words but also for a small, memorable slip in her speech.

At one point, while expressing her gratitude to the attendees and sharing her foundation’s mission, Gomez accidentally mentioned «Diddy» instead of the intended word in her message, causing surprise and humor among the audience. Despite the confusion, her sincerity and the inspiring content of her speech quickly overshadowed the error.

In fact, Selena Gomez and Diddy don’t have a direct relationship, but they have crossed paths mainly due to her past with Justin Bieber, who was mentored by the rapper in his early career. During their relationship, Gomez shared an amusing story where Diddy once mistook her for a valet attendant and handed her his ticket, highlighting that he wasn’t particularly familiar with her at the time.

This incident became a funny memory Gomez recalled in interviews, showing the overlap between their worlds without a close connection developing between them. Meanwhile, Justin Bieber and Diddy had a deeper bond, with Diddy offering support and guidance to Bieber when he was an emerging artist. Over the years, though, Bieber has distanced himself from Diddy, especially following recent allegations against the music mogul.

In the present, Diddy faces serious allegations including sex trafficking and racketeering, stemming from a 14-page indictment that details various criminal activities. He has been arrested and denied bail multiple times, and he maintains his innocence through his attorney.
