The Golden Globes 2025 were meant to celebrate cinematic achievements, but one unexpected moment quickly overshadowed the night’s festivities. Demi Moore, 62, fresh off her emotional win for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for The Substance, found herself embroiled in a social media storm. A now-viral clip appeared to show the Hollywood icon walking past Kylie Jenner, 27, without so much as a glance—prompting fans to accuse Demi of a deliberate snub.
Did Demi Ignore Kylie on Purpose?
The clip, shared widely across platforms, shows Demi gracefully making her way to Elle Fanning’s table to share a few words of congratulations. Kylie, seated just a few feet away, is seen leaning slightly forward, as though trying to get Demi’s attention. The encounter—or lack thereof—sparked outrage online.
“Demi just completely ignored Kylie like she wasn’t even there!” one fan posted, while another commented, “That’s Hollywood royalty for you. No time for influencers.”
The incident quickly gained momentum, with fans speculating about bad blood between the two women. Did Demi have something against Kylie? Or was this simply a clash of values and worlds—an iconic actress versus a reality star-turned-beauty mogul?
Social Media Divides
As debates raged online, theories ranged from a subtle Hollywood power move to a simple case of tunnel vision. Demi’s fans rushed to her defense, claiming she was simply overwhelmed after her monumental win. Meanwhile, Kylie’s supporters accused Demi of looking down on the younger star, pointing out their contrasting backgrounds.
Adding fuel to the fire, some insiders suggested that Demi and Kylie might not exactly see eye to eye on certain things. “They’re just very different people,” one source claimed. “Demi’s focus has always been on her craft, while Kylie represents a completely different kind of fame.”
The Truth Behind the Viral Moment
As speculation hit fever pitch, Demi finally broke her silence—and the truth about what really happened turned out to be far less dramatic. Speaking to an insider, Demi made it clear: there was no snub. “Demi doesn’t even know Kylie personally,” the source explained. “She didn’t notice her because she was focused on celebrating her win and catching up with Elle Fanning.”
The insider went on to clarify that Demi has no ill will toward Kylie, stating, “Demi respects Timothée Chalamet, who Kylie is dating, and admires his talent. But she simply didn’t see Kylie sitting there. It was as simple as that.”
Tallulah Willis Steps In
Demi’s daughter, Tallulah Willis, also jumped to her mother’s defense, shutting down the rumors in a statement shared on Instagram: “There was no snub of any sort. Had she seen Kylie wanting to congratulate her, she would have given her the time and space. Literally, just let my mom enjoy her moment!”
A History of Respect
Interestingly, there’s no bad blood between Demi and Kylie. In fact, just last Halloween, Kylie paid tribute to Demi by recreating her iconic Striptease look from the 1996 film. Demi herself reshared the photos on her Instagram Story with captions like “love this” and “nailed it.”
This context further highlights that the viral moment was nothing more than an innocent misunderstanding, blown out of proportion by eager internet sleuths.
Demi’s Emotional Night
Despite the online drama, the night was undeniably a career-defining moment for Demi. Her tearful acceptance speech reflected on the years of criticism she endured as a “popcorn actress” and her struggle to feel validated in her craft. “I’ve been doing this for over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor,” she said, her voice trembling.
Demi’s daughters, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, were visibly emotional in the audience as their mother finally got her long-overdue recognition.
The Final Word
The viral video may have sparked a firestorm, but the truth is clear: Demi Moore did not snub Kylie Jenner. The moment was simply an innocent oversight, misinterpreted in the frenzy of social media. Both women continue to respect one another, proving that sometimes, the internet’s drama is far removed from reality.
As for Demi, she’s busy celebrating a milestone achievement in her career—one that has been decades in the making. And as Kylie continues to make headlines in her own right, it seems this “scandal” will soon be nothing more than a footnote in Hollywood’s history.
