Kimmel Mocks Chalamet Ballet-Opera Backlash at ICG Publicists Awards
Jimmy Kimmel used his ICG Publicists Awards acceptance speech to lightly mock Timothée Chalamet’s backlash over comments about ballet and opera, quipping about the era of “no such thing as bad publicity” amid the controversy. The joke followed Chalamet’s remarks that opera and ballet aren’t as relevant, which drew response from the ballet community, including Misty Copeland, who defended the continued importance of opera and ballet.
