Right after her highly publicized feud with Nicole Kidman at Paris Fashion Week, Salma Hayek was more than eager to post some praise on Instagram towards leading Hispanic women in Hollywood with a rather cryptic yet hopeful message. Her post gave a shout-out to stars including Selena Gomez, Sofia Vergaraand Jenna Ortega, among others, and speculation is rife about whether this has something to do with her tense exchange with the actress Nicole Kidman.
“Grateful for the strong community around me that continuously uplifts our culture, amplifies our voices, and pushes for change. Together, we honor our heritage,” Salma captioned the post.
The incident took place during the Balenciaga show when Hayek and Kidman posed together with Katy Perry. As Hayek reached to move Kidman in front of the cameras, Nicole seemed taken aback. Reports say that allegedly Kidman turned Hayek away and that she told her, “Don’t touch me.”
Although the actress moved relatively quickly to kiss Katy Perry as one might expect at this sort of event, the moment left onlookers stunned and reportedly left Perry looking rather uncomfortable.
Shortly after the drama, Salma Hayek posted in support of National Hispanic Heritage Month. Posting pictures of herself with stars like Penelope Cruz, Zoe Saldana, and Eiza González Hayek was grateful for the strength of her community.
Salma Hayek’s post managed to quench the curiosity of people. Through her post, Salma Hayek not only paid homage to her heritage but also sent a very strong message about solidarity among women in the industry.
