00:00Why was there a town hall meeting with Matthew McConaughey and Timothee Chalamet?
00:05Right.
00:05You know, then I realized, oh, he's still promoting that endless ping pong movie.
00:11Yeah.
00:11And, you know, I got news for Timmy.
00:15You know, if you think nobody cares about opera and ballet, I can't tell you how much we don't care
00:21about ping pong.
00:23The Timothee Chalamet spanking machine continues.
00:26That was Broadway star Nathan Lane on The View, slamming Timmy for his now infamous viral comments.
00:33At a February town hall hosted by CNN and Variety, the 30-year-old Dune star said that unlike movies,
00:39no one cares about opera and ballet anymore.
00:42Ouch.
00:43Jamie Lee Curtis added to the public outcry by reposting criticism of the actor with this comment.
00:49My daughter has been a dancer her whole life.
00:52My daughter teaches dance and has a dance academy, so his comments are silly.
00:56And I'm sorry that they're going to be a bit of his legacy now.
00:59I'm sure he regrets the comment because you can't throw those art forms under a bus.
01:03You can't do it.
01:05They're too important.
01:06Ballet phenom Misty Copeland also clapped back at Chalamet and pointed out that it's very interesting that he asked her
01:12to be part of his Marty Supreme promotional tour.
01:15Here she is wearing swag for his movie in November.
01:18However, now there's backlash to the backlash.
01:22The post-movie critic Johnny Olensinski called the people rallying against Chalamet more attention-starved than he is, adding,
01:30I am supremely fed up with one of the silliest Oscar controversies ever.
01:35What an overblown, all-you-can-wine buffet for the board.
01:39It should be noted that Oscar voting closed before the actor's recent dig went viral online.
01:45Meanwhile, critics on X are calling the overreaction leading up to the Academy Awards on Sunday a mass psychosis event.
01:52Over on TikTok, Doja Cat initially jumped on the bandwagon, slamming the actor.
01:58Somebody named Timothee Chalamet had the nerve, big guy, by the way, had the nerve to say on camera that
02:08nobody cares about it.
02:10I'm sure you can walk into an opera theater right now, seats will be filled out, and nobody's saying a
02:16word as the performance is going because everybody has that much respect for it.
02:20There is an etiquette around opera. There is etiquette around ballet. It's amazing.
02:26But get this, she then deleted the post and backtracked on her original hot take. Take a look.
02:33It's so funny. I am going to come out and just say that I know nothing about opera. I know
02:40nothing about ballet.
02:41I've never been to a ballet. I've never seen an opera.
02:44But what I was doing yesterday was virtue signaling because I wanted to connect.
02:51And I knew that, I knew that Timothee's goof up was something that I could leverage in order for people
03:02to connect with me and f*** with me.
03:07And it's easy. It's like a, it's just a, it's a modern way to, to garner clicks, likes, approval, and
03:19all kinds of things like that from people.
03:20In other words, b***h, she said what she said. But in this case, Doja Cat spoke too soon.
03:26Doja Cat spoke too soon.
