Charlie Puth Called Out for Inappropriate Comments About His Song
After sharing a bold tweet, Charlie Puth has been under fire for very inappropriate comments that are assumed to be about Selena Gomez.
Puth and Gomez have a complicated history together. In 2016, dating rumors first began to circulate after the two international pop stars released their song “We Don’t Talk Anymore.” At the time, Gomez was still heavily involved in the media frenzy surrounding her on-again-off-again relationship with Justin Bieber.

Despite the rumors, Gomez and Puth insisted they were only good friends. However, their romantic history seemed more probable after Puth released “Attention” in 2017 after Gomez began publicly dating Bieber again. The musician described the hit as “a mean song” in an interview with Billboard, and it didn’t take long for people to speculate that it was about Gomez.
This complicated history was unearthed recently after Charlie Puth shared a cryptic tweet about “Attention.” The since-deleted tweet read, “Attention is about what you think it’s about,” seemingly referencing the rumors about him and Gomez. Puth’s tweet went viral before it was deleted and had fans questioning everything.

Many fans took the time to review the lyrics to Puth’s hit song and discovered a 2017 video where he broke down its meaning. In the video, Puth shared that the lyrics were inspired by a romantic interest that he believed to be manipulative.
When describing their relationship, Puth recalled, “We would be talking in the hotel, and she would be like, ‘You wanna sleep over?’ I’d be like, ‘Yes I’m gonna get it in!’ And then nothing would happen, which is totally fine, but after like the fifth time of that happening, I knew what she was doing.” Puth continued, “I knew that she was trying to make me so embedded to her that I would never leave her, but I would never get what I wanted out of her.”
Now, over five years later, Puth’s viral tweet has people calling him out for his inappropriate comments in this video. One Twitter user posted, “Charlie Puth is the perfect example of how most men act when a woman denies them access to her body.” Additionally, many people are calling Puth entitled for believing this woman owed him anything.
Charlie Puth is the perfect example of how most men act when a woman denies them access to her body. The nerve to say ‘she wasn’t gonna give me what I wanted’ and then going on to say that to you that meant she was manipulating you is sick. 8 years later, the ego is still bruised pic.twitter.com/V7KizbNOiy

The star’s tweet sparked an important conversation about how this instance is an unfortunate example of how women are often viewed as sexual objects. Although this situation reflects a disheartening issue in society today, the demand for accountability on Puth’s end and the astounding support for whoever he is talking about proves that positive change is possible.
