Kylie Jenner’s brother Brody Jenner sparked a new drama after his blunt response in order to defend his sister’s romance with Timothee Chalamet.
After his protective measure for his half sister, some social media users are calling him a hypocrite while others are praising him as a protective brother.
The latest wave of scrutiny stems from an interview with Sarah Tena published by the Daily Mail.
In the interview, the former adult entertainer claimed she had a prior, non-exclusive relationship with the Marty Supreme star that began in 2020 after the two connected via Instagram.
She said it came as a shock to her when the actor publicly linked to Jenner.
“I see these things about him dating Kylie Jenner and I was very confused about that,” Tena, 32, told the outlet. “At first, I thought it was fake news and then I was like maybe it’s a PR thing. But now it looks like maybe they are together. I don’t know… It doesn’t add up.”
After Page Six shared details from the interview on Instagram, Kylie’s older brother weighed in directly in the comments, dismissing the claims and urging critics to move on.
“Oh god [face with rolling eyes emoji] just leave the happy couple alone,” he wrote. “People have lives before they meet their person. This girl is clearly doing this for attention, and everyone can see right through it.”
The comments come amid heightened attention on Chalamet, who has recently faced criticism for remarks made during a discussion in which he said “no one cares” about opera and ballet.
Amid the backlash, Jenner and Chalamet have continued to present a united front.
The pair attended Vanity Fair’s annual Oscar afterparty on Sunday, March 15, where they appeared together on the red carpet and shared moments of public affection.
Amid the drama, some fans brought up the “Kardashian curse,” in the wake of Chalamet’s OScars setback.
Notably, fans have had a mixed reaction to Brody Jenner’s public defense of his sister Kylie Jenner’s relationship with Timothée Chalamet, with many praising him as a protective “good big brother,” while others criticized him as hypocritical.
Support for Brody’s “Big Brother” Stance: Many fans praised Brody for stepping in, calling him a “good big brother” and supporting his statement to “leave the happy couple alone”.
Conversely, several users pointed out that criticizing others for seeking attention is hypocritical, given the Kardashian-Jenner family’s history of posing for attention or managing headlines.
