Selena Gomez is being taken to task for a social media post about her Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building” that she issued in the midst of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.

As Variety reported, Gomez shared a video from the “Only Murders” set, tagging it with the show’s Instagram account, along with the caption, “Missing and wanting.” Her post was hit with backlash, with her followers pointing out that she’d violated the strike rules, which prohibits actors from promoting their projects in any medium — including social media.
