Selena Gomez Hosts Rare Impact Fund Benefit

Selena Gomez hosted the second annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit in Los Angeles on October 24, aimed at raising funds for youth mental health services, specifically highlighting Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services. During her speech, she humorously slipped by referring to Didi as 'Diddy,' which prompted laughter from the audience; she quickly apologized for the mistake. The event took place amidst significant media attention surrounding Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is currently incarcerated facing serious charges, including sex trafficking. Despite the slip-up, Gomez successfully steered the focus back to the charity's mission, which aims to raise $100 million for mental health access. The fundraiser featured a star-studded lineup and Gomez dazzled on the red carpet in a chic blue dress while supporting her current boyfriend, music producer Benny Blanco. The Rare Impact Fund, launched alongside her Rare Beauty line, continues to grow in its efforts to enhance mental health education and services for young people worldwide.
