Comedian Jeff Ross took some jabs at Selena Gomez during Justin Bieber‘s Comedy Central Roast. “Selena Gomez had sex with [you]… proving Mexicans will do the disgusting jobs Americans just won’t do,” he said.

Turns out, though, when Ross researched Bieber for the TV special, he consulted the Stars Dance star herself. “I ran into her and asked her for advice on roasting the Biebs, and she said, ‘Tell the truth. That always worked for me,'” he says to The Huffington Post.

Ross, who has dubbed himself the Roastmaster General, has previously taken aim for laughs at Charlie Sheen, David Hasselhoff and James Franco. “I don’t have a filter to keep me from thinking of how to take that person on,” he says. “So, I start as soon as I hear the announcement or even when they’re just thinking about that person, I start coming up with jokes in my head.”

That being said, another joke that Ross made during Bieber’s roast was, “Selena Gomez wanted to be here, but she’s dating men now. Is it true you dumped her because she grew a mustache before you?” Clearly, he was “inspired” by his run-in with Bieber’s ex.
