Kylie Jenner Faces Backlash for “Rude” Behavior at the Oscars
The 97th Academy Awards, held at the prestigious Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, was packed with glamour, excitement, and unexpected drama. However, one moment stole the spotlight for all the wrong reasons—Kylie Jenner’s interaction with music legend Sir Elton John.
During a commercial break, Kylie, 27, was introduced to Elton John by her boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet. While Timothée warmly embraced the “I’m Still Standing” singer, Kylie remained seated, merely extending her hand for a greeting. This moment, caught on video and shared by PEOPLE, left fans fuming.
