Timoth¨¦e Chalamet and Kylie Jenner¡¯s Knicks PDA goes viral again, but not everyone¡¯s feeling the love: ¡®This feels forced or cringe¡¯
Hollywood star Timoth¨¦e Chalamet and beauty queen Kylie Jenner, who have now become New York's most iconic couple, are once again making headlines after this weekend's courtside appearance. However, this time, the duo have grabbed attention for criticism.
Hollywood star Timoth¨¦e Chalamet and beauty queen Kylie Jenner are quickly becoming New York¡¯s most iconic couple of all time. With numerous courtside appearances, they have already solidified their status as two of the New York Knicks¡¯ biggest fans.
This weekend, the pair took it up a notch, showing their devotion to the team by following them all the way to Indianapolis to watch them take on the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 31.
Meanwhile, apart from the older courtside appearances of the couple, this might be the cutest one so far. However, as usual, after this weekend¡¯s appearance, instead of just the camera flashes, the duo found themselves in the middle of an unexpected internet storm.
Timoth¨¦e Chalamet and Kylie Jenner's new PDA video becomes a part of meme pages
A video of the two from the game went viral on the internet as usual, but this time it was not for the reasons they may have anticipated.
In the clip, which is now doing rounds on social media, Jenner is seen leaning into Chalamet with obvious enthusiasm in the low-widely-shared video; however, he seems less receptive, smiling subtly as she cradles him.
As the video goes viral, fans swiftly criticised the encounter on social media, calling it ¡°forced¡± and ¡°awkward.¡±

The criticisms did not just stop with the netizens on the internet, but surprisingly, they also caught the attention of Skip Bayless, an outspoken sports personality, who wrote on his X, ¡°When did Timothee Chalamet replace Spike Lee as Mr. Knick??? Before this, he was a Complete Unknown when it came to the Knicks. And Kylie Jenner is Ms. Knick??? This is just wrong.¡±
The comments by Bayless worked as fuel to the fire, and fans seem divided on the internet after this.

Netizens react to Skip Bayless¡¯s comment on Timoth¨¦e Chalamet and Kylie Jenner¡¯s viral video
As soon as the viral clip and Bayless¡¯s comment surfaced on social media, fans seemed to be arguing over whether Chalamet had really earned his Knicks fandom stripes.
While some even praised the couple¡¯s public persona, others kept themselves away from the chorus of memes and reactions. One fan said, ¡°That's why they lost having a Kardashian as a fan u not winning nothing.¡±
¡°Timothee is from NYC and seems legit. Kylie Jenner is a fraud,¡± one said.
While another commented, ¡°Is it just me or does this feel forced or cringe.¡±

Despite the Knicks¡¯ loss, Chalamet and Jenner are still very much in the spotlight; however, it¡¯s unclear if their on-court chemistry will appeal to NBA fans, but they've provided social media with conversation starters well into the offseason.
