Kylie Jenner sparks backlash for not standing to greet Elton John
Kylie Jenner faced criticism for her behavior during the 97th Academy Awards in Hollywood.
Fans called her ‘rude’ after she remained seated while meeting Elton John.
During a commercial break, Timothée Chalamet embraced the music legend before introducing him to Kylie.
Instead of standing, the 27-year-old reality star extended her hand while Elton John leaned in for a kiss.
Fans react to Kylie Jenner’s behavior
The moment that captured Kylie Jenner’s rude behavior quickly went viral and sparked debate among viewers.
Social media users were quick to call out Kylie for her lack of etiquette.
One person said: Oh no no no you get up for Sir Elton John!
A second wrote: Money can’t buy manners or respect.
While a third commented: That is Sir Elton John. You stand when being greeted to him.
Another added: Wow, Kris Jenner – did you not teach your daughter any manners?.
Someone else said: Didn’t STAND for ELTON JOHN?? SMH,
Another user added: No manners.
Not just because it’s Elton John, but out of respect and manners, you stand up when you greet someone, one user pointed out.

Timothée Chalamet loses Best Actor Oscar to Adrien Brody
Timothée Chalamet, 29, had an opportunity to make Oscars history. He was nominated for Best Actor for portraying Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.
However, the award went to Adrien Brody for “The Brutalist”. Brody still holds the record as the youngest Best Actor winner. He won in 2003 at age 29 for “The Pianist”.
Had Chalamet won, he would have broken Brody’s record by a few months. The actor turns 30 on December 27.
Fans react to Timothée Chalamet’s Oscars loss
On social media, many fans expressed disappointment over Chalamet missing the historic win.
One person said: He’s racking up a lot of great movies lately… he’s well on his way!!
A second wrote: I honestly was shocked. I truly believed he was going to win. He deserved an Oscar.
While a third commented: It’s because he left his good luck charm, Curious George, at home.
Another added: Adrien Brody deserved to win!!!
Someone else said: He’s got plenty of years to come for an Oscar.
Despite losing the Oscar, Chalamet won several awards for his performance as Bob Dylan. He received recognition from the SAG Awards, Gotham Awards, and various film critic associations.

The couple reportedly met in 2019 at Nobu Malibu but started dating in April 2023. Chalamet previously dated Lily-Rose Depp, Eiza González, and Lourdes Leon.
