Benny Blanco has stepped into the spotlight to address comments about his personal hygiene, following a social media uproar urging his wife, Selena Gomez, to leave him due to his “dirty feet.”

The 37-year-old music producer, whose unclean feet were prominently featured in the premiere episode of his new podcast, took a moment on Thursday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! to clarify the situation amid the online buzz.

During the show, Kimmel, joined by fellow guest Lil Dicky, brought up the topic that had captured the attention of fans and followers.

“There’s something we need to discuss, as it has caught the fascination of many—Benny’s feet appear to be quite filthy,” Kimmel remarked, addressing the viral chatter.

As a photo from the podcast episode flashed on the screen, showing Blanco relaxed on a couch with noticeably dirty soles, the audience chuckled.

“Hold on, hold on!” Blanco interjected with a smile, responding to the laughter. “I want to make it clear, this is the facility’s fault, not mine!”

The record producer – who had dirt on his bare feet in the pilot episode of his new podcast – addressed the social media frenzy during his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday

He motioned towards his podcast co-host Lil Dicky and added, ‘The floors are – I have great feet. Hold on!’ 

The star then removed one of his boots to expose his very clean foot for the crowd. 

‘Someone zoom in on my foot,’ Blanco encouraged. ‘Look at that!’ 

Kimmel then told the music artist to show the bottom of his foot, which was revealed to also be clean. 

‘Look at that clean foot. Look at that. Are you kidding me?’ he humorously continued as the live audience began to applaud. 

Lil Dicky – whose full name is David Andrew Burd – chimed in to explain the circumstance and said, ‘It was the first day we filmed anything, so crew was coming in and out.’ 

Kimmel questioned, ‘So, you’re saying that Dave’s floors are not clean,’ with Lil Dicky adding, ‘On that day, it was dirty. You know how floors get.’

Elsewhere during the conversation, the talk show host joked to Blanco, ‘You should get an OnlyFans for that thing,’ which prompted the record producer to proudly say, ‘Thank you, thank you!’ 

At one point during the interview, Blanco – who was also joined by fellow guest Lil Dicky – was questioned about the situation

‘Okay, wait, wait!’ Blanco exclaimed as some audience members laughed. ‘Okay first of all, it’s the facility’s fault, not mine!’

Blanco’s podcast Friends Keep Secrets with Lil Dicky and his wife Kristin Batalucco launched its pilot episode earlier this week on Tuesday. 

However, some viewers had been left distracted by Blanco’s bare feet that had dirt on the bottom while lounging on a sofa. 

Fans labeled the music artist as ‘disgusting’ while others encouraged Gomez – whom he tied the knot with in 2025 – to divorce him. 

One penned on X, ‘Bro needs to take a shower and hire a better house cleaner,’ while another typed, ‘I am HORRIFIED.’ 

‘Not even a minute into this benny podcast and am in complete disbelief..,’ an X user shared, and one added, ‘the fact that his feet are ACTUALLY that filthy makes me sick to my stomach like selena girl what’s going on.’ 

Another commented, ‘That is disgusting idk how selena dealing with this,’ and one wrote, ‘Selena needs to divorce him and find someone better.’ 

Elsewhere in the pilot episode showed Blanco farting into the microphone in order to test out the volume, also leaving some fans shocked. 

Despite the wave of backlash, Blanco brushed aside the criticism as he packed on the PDA with Gomez in a sweet clip uploaded by the former Disney channel actress.
