Fans turn on Timothee Chalamet over 'jerk' move towards Tina Fey at star-studded Knicks game with Kylie Jenner

1 hour ago 9

Timothee Chalamet has felt the vitriol of some fans on social media, who called him a 'jerk' for 'manspreading' next to Tina Fey at the star-studded New York Knicks game.

The actor was sitting courtside, between his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, 28, and the 55-year-old Saturday Night Live legend, with his legs apparently spread wide.

The four-time Oscar nominee, 30, was very animated as his beloved New York Knicks dominated the Atlanta Hawks with a 126-97 victory during Game 5 in the opening round of the playoffs on Tuesday night. 

However, many users on X were not pleased with his behavior next to Fey, as one posted pictures with the caption: 'timothee chalamet if you don’t stop manspreading on tina fey i swear to god [sic].'

Another fan attempted to get into the mind of the comedian as they wrote: 'She's thinking he shouldn't manspread so she could be comfortable. What a jerk.'

'Bro sitting like he owns the whole row,' one wrote while another said: 'I hate this little rat so bad bro show some respect to your elders???'

Others noted that Chalamet had three drinks under his seat, between his legs. 

Chalamet, Jenner, and Fey were not the only celebs sitting courtside as Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor, as well as Fey's former 30 Rock co-star Tracy Morgan, were all in attendance at the big game.

Meanwhile, The Kardashians star sizzled for the date night, wearing a very low-cut white tank top and bedazzled white jeans that appeared to be a custom pair from her Khy brand. 

The makeup mogul paired the look with black thong heels and silver hoop earrings, while her long black tresses were left to cascade down her shoulders in loose waves.

Meanwhile, her boyfriend, who was brutally snubbed at the Oscars in March, rocked a black leather jacket over a grey hoodie and T-shirt. He cheered on his team with a Knicks hat. 

Chalamet accessorized his outfit with a silver necklace and a white watch. He kept it comfortable in a pair of black worker boots.

The actor sported a wispy mustache for the occasion.

Chalamet and Stiller both leaped to their feet at one point to cheer their team on.

Jenner and Chalamet were first romantically linked in April 2023, with the pair later confirming their romance with an amorous kiss at a Beyonce concert that September.

The relationship blossomed just months after Jenner and rapper Travis Scott, 34, split. The former couple had two children: daughter Stormi, eight, and son Aire, four.

In March, the makeup mogul was by Chalamet's side as he suffered a crushing defeat at the Oscars.

The actor was an early best actor favorite for Marty Supreme, the Josh Safdie picture based on the life of a real underground ping-pong player in 1950s New York.

However, his pomposity in interviews eventually led to a souring of public opinion about him, with sources exclusively telling the Daily Mail about a 'Stop Timmy' campaign gathering steam ahead of the Academy Awards.

Chalamet, whose mother and sister both trained in ballet, then poured fuel on the backlash by remarking that 'no one cares about' opera and ballet.

Oscar night turned into a brutal humiliation for Chalamet, who was repeatedly mocked over the comment and then lost best actor to Michael B Jordan for Sinners.

Chalamet's next film, Dune: Part Three, is set to hit theaters on December 18. 

Chalamet and Jenner certainly seemed to be enjoying date night at Madison Square Garden

Meanwhile, Jenner's former best friend, Jordyn Woods, was seen arriving at the game in a black bustier, blue jeans and a trendy leather jacket. Woods is engaged to Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns. 

Jenner and Woods were once inseparable. But everything changed in 2019 after Woods admitted to kissing Tristan Thompson - the ex-fiance of Jenner's half-sister Khloe Kardashian - during a drunken after-party at his LA home.

Despite welcoming two children together, the Canadian basketball player went on to put the Khloud founder through numerous cheating scandals, including secretly fathering a four-year-old son, Theo, with his third babymama, Maralee Nichols.

'I think we have like a lot more like healthy distance in the relationship. Now it's like, we talk once a month,' Jenner revealed of her relationship with Woods on The Kardashians in 2024.

'I think what I do love now is that the narrative about us online is also over. Like when we were seen leaving that restaurant, it was a story for a day or two days or whatever, and then now it's like over. People know that we're cool and no one's talking about [the scandal] anymore.'

When Woods announced her engagement to Towns on Christmas, Jenner congratulated her by posting five teary emojis and writing: 'Jordyyyyyyy!'

However, Jenner was seemingly absent from Woods's bachelorette bash in March.
