There’s few things in life that can compare to the sheer horror of being rejected by a baby as you attempt to hold it.
A Whatsapp rejection or failed Tinder match from a love interest you can cope with, but when a small infant looks into your eyes and begins to wobble that lower lip, you know they’re judging you as a failure.
So, take a moment to feel for Selena Gomez who just received a metaphorical palm to the face from a toddler during a stroll on Wednesday.
Appearing at a PUMA event in Los Angeles, the 25-year-old stopped to hug a baby, who proceeded to turn away and scream while Selena exclaimed: ‘I don’t know what to do!’
The moment was caught on the singer’s Instagram Story, with a mortified Selena clasping her hands to her face in embarrassment.
Following the baby faux-pas, the star went on to dance to music playing loudly in the street as she made her way past the crowds of fans.
The hilarious footage comes amid news that Selena has announced a portion of the ’13 Reasons Why’ soundtrack proceeds will benefit the Trevor Project and Crisis Text Line – two organisations that offer crisis intervention and suicide prevention.
13 Reasons Why Season 2 premieres on 18 May on Netflix.
