HOLLYWOOD—In what some are calling the most vulnerable moment of 2025, Selena Gomez posted a video of herself crying this week, sparking an emotional frenzy online. Fans praised the raw honesty of the clip, though questions quickly arose about the technical logistics. “The lighting is flawless,” one commenter noted. “Who’s holding the ring light? And do they also do weddings?”
Gomez’s tears didn’t just move her fanbase; they also inspired the creation of SobTok, a new app designed exclusively for sharing emotional breakdowns. The app features filters like “Tearstream Glow” and “Puffy Eye Reducer,” as well as a sob-counter that ranks users by crying frequency. Liberals are expected to love it! Early adopters include influencers eager to monetize their feelings, with some launching subscription tiers like “Premium Sob Sessions” for followers craving extra drama.
In response to the overwhelming reaction, Gomez released a statement thanking her fans for their support. “I never expected this much love for something so personal,” she said. “But, to be honest, I’m still waiting for someone to explain why the crying video gets 10 million likes while my last single got half that.”
