Kylie Jenner Angered Fans For Not Standing When Introduced To Sir Elton John

Kylie Jenner is now facing major backlash for what many are calling “rude behavior” during the 2025 Oscars. Attending the event as Timothée Chalamet’s date, Jenner was seated among Hollywood’s biggest stars. However, one moment in particular caught viewers’ attention—her introduction to music legend Sir Elton John.

Chalamet, who was nominated for A Complete Unknown, spotted Sir Elton John and warmly embraced him before turning to introduce Jenner. But instead of standing up to greet the legendary singer, Kylie remained seated, simply extending her hand for a handshake. Elton, ever the gentleman, leaned down and kissed her hand, making the moment even more awkward.

Fans Call Out Kylie’s “Rude” Behavior

The internet didn’t hold back, with many criticizing Kylie’s apparent lack of respect to the legendary Rocket Man. Social media erupted with frustrated viewers who couldn’t believe she didn’t stand up for an icon like Sir Elton John.

One Instagram user bluntly stated, “No manners.” Then, another one added, “You stand for Sir Elton!!” A third commenter was even more frustrated, writing, “Wtf. I don’t care who it is, if you are being introduced to someone and they are all standing, you stand the hell up and say hello. My goodness.”

Others suggested that her actions reflected a lack of basic respect, with one user commenting, “Money can’t buy manners or respect. The entitlement is real!!”

An Awkward and Unforgettable Oscars Moment

While Kylie has yet to respond to the criticism, the moment has already made waves across social media. Given Elton John’s legendary status in the entertainment world, many feel her actions were dismissive, if not outright disrespectful.

With the internet still buzzing over the incident, it remains to be seen whether Kylie will address the backlash or let the moment fade into the long list of viral Oscars controversies.
