Jimmy Kimmel name-dropped Hailey Bieber during his #Oscars monologue:
“Heavily botoxed, Hailey Bieber smoothie drinking, diabetes prescription abusing, gluten sensitive nepo babies with perpetually shivering chihuahuas…”
And while Hailey does actually have her own smoothie available at Erehwon, and is by most definitions a so-called nepo baby (her father is actor Stephen Baldwin), many viewers who tuned in to the awards show weren’t amused.
“the hailey bieber hate is so forced and tired at this point,” one person tweeted during the show. “leave this woman alone.”
“He was obviously talking about the ‘hailey bieber smoothie’ and wasn’t being shady,” mused another person. “but this was so [badly] worded and unfunny..”
Billboard has reached out to Justin and Hailey Bieber for comment.
Kimmel, however, said just a few days prior to the 2024 Oscars that he knew in advance he’d likely step on some people’s toes. “It’s not that easy,” he told CNN of the hosting gig. “It depends on the person because some people are more sensitive than others. God help you, if I know you. Like, if you’ve been to my house, you’re in trouble on Oscar night.”
