Yahoo Lifestyle After Demi Moore Was Accused Of Snubbing Kylie Jenner At The Golden Globes, Demi’s Daughter Has Leaped To Her Defense
In case you missed it, the Golden Globes took place on Sunday, and it was a seriously jam-packed night.
From Zendaya sparking a frenzy by rocking a massive diamond ring on that finger to Andrew Garfield being thirsted over by the entire internet after he whipped out his reading glasses, the celebrities were out in force as awards season officially got underway.
And there was one star in particular who was undeniably the belle of the Golden Globes, with 62-year-old Demi Moore leaving viewers emotional when she won her first ever major award for acting after a staggering 45 years in the industry.
Demi delivered an incredibly heartfelt speech as she accepted the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy Golden Globe for her performance in The Substance, and it was clear that everybody else in the room was thrilled on her behalf.
But on Monday, a video of Demi soaking in the excitement after she won the award started circulating on social media for all the wrong reasons, with the star being accused of pointedly snubbing Kylie Jenner while chatting with Elle Fanning.
For context, Kylie was at the ceremony with her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, and was seated between him and Elle at a table.
In a clip that was quickly shared on TikTok, X, and Reddit, Demi can be seen hugging Elle at the table before launching into an enthusiastic conversation with her.
It appears as though Elle is congratulating Demi on her win, with Demi being heard exclaiming: “I can’t fucking believe it!”
Kylie is watching the exchange the entire time, and can be heard saying “congrats” to Demi. Notably, at this point in the video, Demi does turn away from the camera and look at Kylie — suggesting that she did acknowledge her well wishes.
She then returns her attention to Elle, and the two women hold hands before Demi makes her way back to her seat. She walks past Kylie, and then puts her hand on Timothée’s shoulder as he repeatedly congratulates her as well.
Despite Demi appearing to respond to Kylie’s “congrats” in the clip, the moment is so fleeting that she was still accused of largely ignoring the 27-year-old reality star.
In a tweet that has been seen more than 23 million times and has over 200,000 likes and retweets, somebody shared the video and wrote: “the way demi ignored her, oh.”
Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for the backlash to begin, with Demi being heavily criticized for this alleged snub.
“Love Demi but kind of weird to give a speech about not feeling like you belong and then making someone feel like they don’t belong in the same night. Completely ignoring her and then circling to her bf is weird,” one popular quote-tweet reads.
However, Demi’s daughter Tallulah Willis has leaped to her mom’s defense on Instagram, where she called on critics to give Demi a break.
Sharing a screenshot of a news outlet’s tweet that asked: “Did Demi Moore snub Kylie Jenner? That’s what some are saying after seeing THIS video,” Tallulah wrote: “Hi @ everyone but really press, NIPPING THIS STRAIGHT IN THE BUD.”
“We spent new year with Elle, so connecting with her after a win was a very organic thing to do,” she then explained. “This angel was in total shock and delight and moving throughout a warm room of well wishers.”
Interestingly, Tallulah then suggested that Demi may not have acknowledged Kylie after all — but insisted that this wouldn’t have been due to any kind of malicious intent.
“There was not snub of any sort,” she wrote. “Had she seen KJ wanting to congratulate her she would have fully given her the time and space.”
“Literally just give it all a break and let a gal enjoy her accomplishments,” Tallulah concluded.
Neither Demi nor Kylie have publicly acknowledged the discourse, but we’ll keep you posted if they do... In the meantime, you can watch the full clip below — let me know what you make of it in the comments!
