- Timothée Chalamet is getting roasted by...pretty much everyone...for saying “no one cares” about opera and ballet.
- The Marty Supreme actor made the comments during a chat with Matthew McConaughey.
- Doja Cat posted a since-deleted TikTok calling him out at length.
Today in news about people who are mad at Timothée Chalamet for saying “no one cares” about opera and ballet, Doja Cat has entered the chat.
In a since-deleted TikTok, Doja said, “Opera is 400 years old. Ballet is 500 years old.” She then called out Timmy by name (purposefully mispronouncing it), adding “Somebody named Timothée Chalamet, big guy, by the way, had the nerve to say on camera that nobody cares about it. I’m sure you can walk into an opera theater right now, seats will be filled out, and nobody’s saying a word as the performance is going because everybody has that much respect for it. There is an etiquette around opera. There is etiquette around ballet. It’s amazing. It’s an amazing theater medium. It’s fucking beautiful.”
She continued, “People go there every day to the dance studio. Dancers show up 8 a.m., 6 a.m., whatever the fuck, they show up, and they break and they bleed every single day, just because they have respect for it. They love it, they love what they do. It doesn’t matter if the industry is having a tough time at any time, at any time, which a lot of industries have a tough time. Your industry has a tough time. My industry has a tough time. Doesn’t mean people don’t care about it. People care. Dancers care. The singers care. The audience cares. There’s still an audience. People give a fuck. You show up in a nice outfit, you sit the fuck down, and you shut the fuck up. That’s the usual etiquette around those things. Maybe learn something from that.”
Quick reminder that Timothée was filmed telling Matthew McConaughey, “I don’t want to be working in ballet or opera where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore.’”
Everyone’s been pretty pissed off since, including the Metropolitan Opera, which went ahead and posted this on Insta:
