Disney star-turned-pop singer Selena Gomez made heads turn as she walked the red carpet of the 2019 American Music Awards that marked her first live TV performance in two years. The 25-year-old singer-actress has been lauded for her stand on women empowerment and speaking against online bullying. However, it seems like her recent photoshoot has created headlines for all the wrong reasons. Selena, who has collaborated with leading sports brand PUMA, did a photoshoot where she could be seen standing on a pile of books. Twitterati slammed Selena for this act, since in the South East Asian culture, books (knowledge) are treated with respect and worshipped. Taking to the micro-blogging site, a user commented, "She is gorgeous... but please get off those books", added another. A post read, "Please don't disrespect books, knowledge is sacred, we are suppose to respect it!"
