Fans can “Calm Down” when it comes to social media speculation about Selena Gomez supposedly feuding with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night.
Gomez herself took to Instagram on Tuesday to clear up the rumors. “Noooooo I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s anyone’s business,” she commented on E! News’ post from the previous day.
The outlet’s graphic reads, “Was Selena Gomez gossiping about Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet at Golden Globes? Here’s the Truth.”
The drama that Jenner, Chalamet, and Gomez found themselves entangled in stemmed from videos – including one posted on The Hollywood Reporter’s X account – of Gomez, best friend Taylor Swift, and Swift’s date, Keleigh Teller, talking with their heads together during a commercial break for the awards show. Swift and Teller can be seen wearing shocked reactions as Gomez leans in to talk to the pair.
Several social media accounts dissected the footage and somehow determined that Gomez was discussing how Jenner turned down the “Only Murders in the Building” star’s request for a photo with Chalamet.
Gomez and Chalamet both starred in the 2019 Woody Allen film “A Rainy Day in New York.”
On Monday night, TMZ tailed an evasive Chalamet as he was out in Beverly Hills to get to the bottom of the rumor.
In TMZ’s video, after goading the “Wonka” star with multiple questions, the person behind the camera asks, “Are you and Selena cool?” Chalamet responds, “Yeah, of course.” As to whether “Selena and Kylie have any beef,” he replies simply: “No.”
The Golden Globes was a big night for Chalamet and Jenner, who have been linked together since spring 2023 but haven’t publicly commented on speculation that they’re in a relationship. The two were captured on camera canoodling and sharing pecks during commercial breaks, seemingly confirming their romance.
Despite the swirling rumors and social media frenzy, both Gomez and Chalamet have shut down the gossip, emphasizing that there is no feud between them. It’s a reminder of how quickly rumors can spread on social media, fueled by clips taken out of context and misinterpretations.
Gomez’s clarification on Instagram aimed to set the record straight, indicating that the conversation during the Golden Globes had nothing to do with Jenner or Chalamet. It highlights the importance of relying on accurate information and the potential consequences of jumping to conclusions based on snippets of videos.
Chalamet’s response to TMZ further reinforced the idea that there’s no bad blood between him, Gomez, and Jenner. His casual and straightforward replies dismiss the notion of any feud or tension, underscoring the need for media and fans alike to approach celebrity gossip with caution.
In the age of social media, where information travels rapidly, incidents like these serve as a reminder to verify sources and avoid spreading unverified rumors. Celebrities, like anyone else, can easily become subjects of unfounded speculations that may harm their public image.
As Gomez and Chalamet make it clear that there’s no feud, the incident stands as a testament to the challenges of navigating fame in the digital era. It’s a lesson for fans and media outlets alike to be discerning consumers of information and to resist the temptation to jump on the bandwagon of sensationalized narratives. In the end, the truth, as clarified by the involved parties, prevails over baseless rumors.
