Jennifer Coolidge Faces Online Backlash After Emmys Monologue and Instagram Rumor
Lead: Actress Jennifer Coolidge sparked widespread criticism online on September 15 after delivering a nearly three-minute comedic monologue at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards and becoming embroiled in a social-media controversy over allegedly following conservative commentator Charlie Kirk on Instagram.
Nut Graf: The White Lotus star’s extended stage bit-packed with self-deprecating jokes about Ozempic and group-chat drama-divided viewers, while an unverified Instagram follow claim fueled political backlash, underscoring fans’ sensitivity to celebrity conduct and social-media associations.
Emmys Monologue Draws Criticism
- Jennifer Coolidge presented Lead Actress in a Comedy Series on Sunday night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
- Her three-minute sketch included quips about being excluded from a post-Emmy trip and sharing an Ozempic “dealer” with The Crown star Elizabeth Debicki.
- Many viewers found the bit “boring” and overly long, taking to X (formerly Twitter) to express concern and frustration.
Instagram Following Controversy
- On September 13, an X user claimed Coolidge followed conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Instagram-an assertion later shown to be unverified.
- The rumor went viral, prompting netizens to criticize her for “blindly supporting” extremist views, while others defended her right to follow varied perspectives.
Celebrity Backlash and Support
- Critics argued that the length and tone of her monologue diverged from her trademark comedic timing.
- Defenders noted that an Instagram follow does not equate to endorsement and cautioned against “cancel culture” over a simple social-media action.
Jennifer Coolidge’s reaction to the backlash has not yet been reported.
