Nicole Kidman Divides Fans with ‘Rude’ Red Carpet Moment at Babygirl Premiere

Nicole Kidman’s bold performance in the highly anticipated Babygirl has been lauded by critics, but it was a seemingly innocent moment on the red carpet that quickly overshadowed her movie debut. The Oscar-winning actress, who plays a corporate executive in a forbidden office romance, inadvertently became the center of controversy for her “rude” reaction during a Q&A session at the premiere.

The Moment That Went Viral: A Shocking Red Carpet Exchange

During the event, Kidman engaged with a reporter from Pop Crave, asking him to repeat the name of their outlet. She then shrugged, glanced off-camera, and gave an exaggerated laugh, as if the name of the reporter’s channel didn’t register with her. This nonchalant, seemingly dismissive response quickly made its way across social media.

Mixed Reactions: Was It Rude or Relatable?

While some fans found Kidman’s reaction refreshing, calling it an embodiment of “offline queen” energy, others took offense, calling it disrespectful. “I’d be so embarrassed if Nicole Kidman laughed at me like that,” one fan confessed, while another bluntly stated, “She was rude.”

One fan weighed in, “Nicole was a bit annoying, but oh well,” while another simply wrote, “Sorry, but that was terrible behavior.” Some fans took it a step further, with one commenting, “She smiled so brightly, but I’d say, ‘Yeah, whatever, I won’t ask you anything’,” and another agreeing, “Yeah, I think she was a bit rude.”

Supporters Defend Kidman’s Boldness

Despite the backlash, not all fans were upset. Some saw the moment as a display of Kidman’s natural charisma and authenticity. “HAHAHA, she’s a legend,” one fan joked, while another commented, “She’s truly a queen!” It’s clear that for some, Kidman’s confidence on and off the red carpet is a mark of her enduring star power.

Nicole Kidman Opens Up About Babygirl‘s Intense Scenes

While the red carpet incident grabbed headlines, Kidman’s candid insights into her performance in Babygirl also sparked conversation. The 57-year-old actress revealed in an interview with Woman’s Day how she and her 28-year-old co-star Harris Dickinson prepared for the intimate and emotionally charged scenes in the film.

Preparing for Intimate Scenes: A Delicate Process

Kidman emphasized the importance of working with an intimacy coordinator to ensure comfort and safety during the more intense moments on screen. “Everything flows naturally, allowing space to move, adjust, and perform,” she shared. “There are no restrictions, and I love working in that way.” The film’s deeply personal scenes, she explained, were about fostering trust and vulnerability between her and Dickinson.

Comparing Babygirl to Big Little Lies‘s Toxic Relationships

Kidman also reflected on the contrast between her role in Babygirl and her portrayal of an abusive relationship in Big Little Lies. “It’s very different, but Babygirl certainly exposes me in a vulnerable, fearful way. It’s raw and emotional, and that’s what makes it so powerful,” she confessed.

Revealing the Toll of Filming Intimate Scenes

In October, Kidman opened up about the emotional toll filming Babygirl took on her. “There’s a lot of sharing and trust, but there’s also disappointment and frustration,” she admitted. “There were times on set when I thought, ‘I don’t want to go there. Don’t touch me.’ It was a lot to handle.”

The actress also shared an intense moment during filming when she questioned her own boundaries: “I don’t want to reach that level anymore. I don’t care if I never touch anyone again! I’ve been through it.” These revelations highlight just how challenging and personal her role in Babygirl really was.

Film Details: A Steamy Thriller with Star Power

Babygirl, a steamy psychological thriller from A24, also stars Antonio Banderas, Esther Rose McGregor, Sophie Wilde, and Izabel Mar. With its provocative content, the film is already generating buzz for both its daring material and Kidman’s breathtaking performance.

As the red carpet incident fades into the background, it’s clear that Nicole Kidman’s star power is as magnetic as ever. Whether it’s her bold attitude or her remarkable acting range, Kidman remains a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood.
