Jimmy Fallon Fires Back After Mandy Teefey “Snub” Claims in Selena Gomez’s Wedding

In what’s becoming one of the most talked‑about celebrity family spats of the season, Jimmy Fallon has entered the fray — and he’s not holding back.

The drama began after rumors surfaced during the aftermath of Selena Gomez’s wedding to Benny Blanco that Selena’s mother, Mandy Teefey, was upset about being passed over to walk her daughter down the aisle. Instead, Gomez chose to have her grandfather, David Michael Cornett, fulfill the role. Some outlets reported that Mandy Teefey was “shattered” by the decision.

Teefey, however, quickly responded via Instagram, calling the claims “ludicrous” and emphasizing that she felt nothing but joy and support for her daughter’s choice. She praised the ceremony as “heartwarming” and called Blanco the “greatest son‑in‑law.”

But not content to let the matter fade quietly, Fallon decided to weigh in on The Tonight Show — and his take wasn’t particularly sympathetic.

“It’s funny how the media turns a wedding into a Shakespearean tragedy,” Fallon quipped during Monday’s monologue. “One moment you’re walking down the aisle, the next moment you’re being roasted for not doing it. Poor Mandy — caught in the crossfire of aisle politics!”

In a pointed joke, Fallon added:

“Let me tell you, in Hollywood, getting snubbed at a wedding is more dramatic than most album drops. I wouldn’t be surprised soon if somebody accuses the florist of betrayal.”

While Fallon framed most of his remarks in humor, he also took a subtle jab at gossip culture.

“Look, family decisions at weddings are personal,” he said. “But when tabloid headlines start assigning emotional states — “shattered,” “snubbed,” “betrayed” — based on zero verified facts, I think we’ve lost the plot.”

Sources close to Teefey reportedly weren’t thrilled with Fallon’s commentary. One unnamed insider told Pop Culture Times that Teefey considered Fallon’s jokes “unnecessary and dismissive of her right to respond.” The insider added that Teefey never wanted a public feud, but felt forced to correct what she viewed as false narratives.

As the media cycle intensifies, public reaction has been swift. Some fans applauded Fallon for defending “common sense and privacy,” while others criticized him for making light of what they see as a legitimate family and emotional matter.

Meanwhile, Gomez and Blanco have remained silent in public on the controversy, letting Teefey’s social media posts speak in their defense. Her heartfelt caption following the wedding — calling the ceremony “flawless” and expressing love for both her daughter and new son‑in‑law — continues to circulate widely.

For now, the controversy remains in the realm of celebrity gossip — but with Fallon throwing in one more punchline, the story is unlikely to fade anytime soon.
