A video clip showing Selena Gomez seemingly spilling tea to her friends Taylor Swift and Keleigh Sperry at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards sparked widespread online speculation. But contrary to the chatter, Selena was not dishing dirt on Timothée Chalamet or Kylie Jenner, a source close to the singer-actress revealed.
Selena Doesn’t Know Timothée and Kylie
While reports claimed Kylie prevented her boyfriend Timothée from taking a photo with Selena at the awards show, the insider asserts Selena “never saw or spoke to them” that night. The viral video shows a dramatic storytime moment, but Selena “was in no way referring to anything regarding Timothée or Kylie,” notes the source.
False Rumors Spread Online
Confusing rumors stemmed from clips showing Selena enthusiastically recounting a tale to Swift and Sperry. Fans theorized she shared a story about asking Timothée for a photo, only to be denied by his girlfriend Kylie saying “no.”
However, the source shuts down speculation confirming Selena was simply chatting with friends in a candid moment and not throwing shade or involved in any awkward celebrity encounters that evening.
The Globes Video Goes Viral
Nonetheless, the short clip made the rounds on social media and had everyone playing detective about what Selena could be discussing to elicit such shocked reactions. Lip-reading speculation also intensified theories about name-dropping and drama. But sometimes viral videos spread false information.
And reps for both Selena and Kylie want to set the record straight that the Globes moment was completely misinterpreted. While the pop singer gave an enthusiastic performance in the clip, she wasn’t actually referring to the A-list stars as many fans became convinced.
Selena and Kylie’s Past Drama
While it didn’t occur at this year’s Golden Globes, Selena and Kylie have faced public drama before. Last year, Kylie seemingly mocked Selena’s eyebrow mishap video on TikTok. But Kylie later clarified she meant “no shade” towards Selena. And Selena herself called the whole thing “unnecessary” and declared herself a Kylie “fan.”
TheGlobes Video Spawns New Drama
However, the latest Globes video put Selena and Kylie back in the headlines together. And some media outlets portrayed it as an extension of an ongoing feud. Though reps for both stars emphasize Selena said nothing disparaging about Kylie whatsoever during the Golden Globes ceremony night. Still, the viral clip spawned fresh relationship speculation.
Both Have Moved On
Ultimately the video seems to be a classic case of online misinformation spiraling out of control. While they had public tension before, Selena and Kylie likely want to move on from rehashing old social media drama. They both have thriving careers and new projects for 2024 that are taking priority.
So despite the convincing theories, Selena was apparently not dishing any celebrity gossip that night. With her playful personality though, we may never know exactly what story had Taylor and Keleigh so captivated! But sources confirm it wasn’t hot scoop on Timothée Chalamet or Kylie Jenner’s love life.
