After receiving flak for agreeing to work with director Woody Allen in the coming romantic comedy film “A Rainy Day in New York,” pop star Selena Gomez reportedly made a “significant donation” to the Time’s Up movement against sexual harassment.
“Selena did donate more than she made on the Woody Allen movie. Her donation was private. She gave a large donation weeks ago. She fully supports the movement,” a source told US Weekly.
Selena’s mother, Mandy Teefey, recently revealed on Instagram that she had advised her daughter not to work with Allen, who has a history of sexual abuse
allegations.
“Sorry, no one can make Selena do anything she doesn’t want to. I had a long talk with her about not working with him, and it didn’t click,” Mandy wrote in response to a fan who suggested that Selena write an apology for her decision. “No matter how hard you try to advise … it falls on deaf ears.”—ALLAN POLICARPIO
