BLACKPINK's Jennie's ‘mean girl' moment slammed as she yells at staff to tie her boots at DEADLINE tour: 'Can't she do it herself?'
Despite a strict no-phone policy at the venue, clips and videos from the show have quickly flooded social media. Most of them highlight BLACKPINK's unmatched stage presence, stunning visuals, and crowd control. But one particular clip has unexpectedly gone viral for all the wrong reasons.
In the video, Jennie appears to be yelling at a stage crew member, seemingly demanding they tie her boots. The moment has sparked mixed reactions on Reddit. While some fans are defending her, others argue that if she was unhappy with how it was being handled, she could have just tied them herself.
BLACKPINK's Jennie's 'mean girl' behaviour caught on camera
Jennie is undeniably one of BLACKPINK's most popular members, with a massive solo following, so naturally, no move she makes goes unnoticed. During one moment on the DEADLINE tour, her boots appeared to come loose, and she was seen calling over stage crew to help tie them. In the viral clip, Jennie seems to raise her voice at the staff as she asks for assistance, and when the attempt doesn't go smoothly, she appears visibly frustrated and yells again.
What's left fans more puzzled is the contrast in her demeanour; while she flashes a smile whenever the cameras are pointed at her, she reportedly drops the act and shows clear irritation when they're not. The moment has sparked debate online, with some questioning whether it was just a stressful situation mid-performance or whether she is just a 'mean girl' who mistreats the crew during high-pressure moments.
Reddit calls out Jennie: 'That was so mean of her'
Reddit users are calling out Jennie for allegedly yelling at staff during the concert. Some say her behaviour felt rude and staged, especially with the sudden switch to smiling for the cameras.
One user wrote, "It may very well be that she was trying to yell instructions to the staff over the loud music, and it's a high-stress situation all around. But damn, watching the second time she yells at them is like a mean girl jump scare lol."
"You can tell everything you need to know about a person by how they treat people who work for them—when they forget people are looking," mentioned another.
A third added, "No seriously, why couldn't she tie them herself? She's not singing and just sitting there; it probably would have taken less time for her to do it herself."
"At first I was understanding; the show must go on. Maybe it is faster to have help, or maybe tying the boots herself would be too awkward or something. I wouldn't know how that works. How she snapped at the end?? Jesus," one person wrote.
"Wow, that was so mean of her... That's a stagehand, not a damn stylist; of course she doesn't know how to tie those complicated boots. Also, even if it was a stylist who messed up, it doesn't give her the right to act like this," one mentioned.

Neha Kakkar Wears A Bra Over A White Top, Gets Brutally Trolled: 'Looks Very Cheap'
Last Updated: Some of the social media users also mocked Neha Kakkar and joked that her outfit is inspired by Superman - who wears trunks over his leotards. Neha Kakkar's latest sartorial choice has left netizens disappointed. On Monday, the singer took to her Instagram handle and dropped a photo from one of her recent stage performances. In the photo, Neha was seen sporting a blue bra over a white top. Not just this, she also layered two pairs of track pants, with the top layer being slightly shorter or looser. However, soon after the photos were shared, netizens rushed to the comments section and trolled the singer for her choice of outfit. A Reddit user also shared photos of Neha from the concert on the platform and wrote, 'What in the world is this outfit?" Reacting to the same, another user commented, 'Has she done anything that ever made sense?" 'She knew what she was doing. She did it anyway," a third comment read. Some of the social media users also mocked Neha and joked that her outfit is inspired by Superman – who wears trunks over his leotards. One of the users also argued that even Elnaaz Norouzi wore something similar in The Traitors but she looked 'dope". 'Elnaaz in traitors wore something similar earlier and she looked dope. Absolutely 🔥 Now because I saw her wear it first and better, what Neha is wearing looks very cheap especially the fitting of these track pants. I won't even acknowledge what she's wearing on top," the comment read. This is not the first time that Neha Kakkar's show is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Previously, the singer grabbed everyone's attention when she broke down during her performance in Melbourne, Australia, in March this year. Neha was reportedly left disheartened after she allegedly faced go back slogans for arriving three hours late at the show. While the videos of Neha from the stage went viral on social media, the singer later claimed that she was late because the organisers could not provide her basic requirements for the show. Reacting to the same, Australian event planners Pace D and Bikram Singh Randhawa contradicted her claims. They alleged that Neha refused to perform due to a relatively small audience of 700 people, shifting the blame from the organisers to the artist. However, Neha has vehemently denied these accusations, maintaining her original stance. First Published:

Who is Jorge? BLACKPINK Jennie's Like Jennie song producer sparks fanwar after controversial remarks about TWICE
Fanwars - a battleground in the K-pop world - often unfold online, where fans fiercely defend their favourite idols over everything from minor style choices to major controversies. And while most of these battles stay within fandom circles, things tend to escalate when industry names jump in, sometimes unintentionally fanning the flames. That's exactly what happened recently after TWICE, the popular nine-member girl group, released a teaser for their upcoming album This Is For. Fans were quick to praise the group's stunning visuals and speculate about the concept. But soon after, some BLACKPINK fans alleged that TWICE's teaser bore a strong resemblance to Jennie's solo debut Like Jennie, accusing the group of copying her style and aesthetic. BLACKPINK vs TWICE: Fanwar ignites online The tension exploded across social media, with BLINKs and ONCEs taking sides - defending their artists while throwing shade at the other group. In the middle of the debate, some ONCEs pointed out that Like Jennie itself wasn't free from controversy when it dropped. Back when Jennie's solo track was first released, it drew criticism for its similarities to Rani's Intro Theme from the Bollywood film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. While some fans cried plagiarism, others - including the original composer Pritam - dismissed the claims, saying that overlapping influences in music are common and often coincidental. Jorge enters the chat As the online debate escalated, Jorge Antonio Alfonzo Sr., one of the co-producers of Like Jennie (alongside Diplo and LeClair), stepped in with a comment that only intensified the situation. Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), Jorge responded to accusations that Like Jennie was a sample by posting: "I made Like Jennie who the f*ck is TWICE lol." talk once get smacked TWICE The post didn't sit well with many. TWICE fans quickly pushed back, calling his comment disrespectful and unprofessional. Realizing the backlash, Jorge attempted to clarify his tone, writing: "Damn I didn't mean to be rude but you guys must try to know how music actually works - much love," before deleting the original post. "Defending his work" He was EXTREMELY disrespectful not only towards Twice; He was disrespectful towards the other producers that worked on Like Jennie and on This is for, he was disrespectful towars the compositors, Towards JENNIE AND TWICE A Producer should've NEVER say this Past controversies resurface Despite the clarification, the criticism didn't stop. Some fans began digging into Jorge's past post. One of the screenshots doing the round was of him taking about Like Jennie where he said, "I made those drums & synths on Like Jennie. It's ok, it's just a Brazilian drum rhythm. If they use a similar melody I could lawsuit them". So Jennie's producers are just like her fans, fre@ks obsessed with clout and yourself admitted it's "just a Brazilian rhythm" a few days tf are you?? Not just that, ONCE even unearthed alleged instances of him using racist language, including repeated use of the N-word. Outraged fans began contacting his workplace, questioning how such comments could be overlooked. This is the kind of people you are working with... @maddecent As the backlash grew, Jorge ultimately made his X account private, stepping back from the public eye - at least for now.

‘Shogun' star Cosmo Jarvis replaced by Logan Marshall-Green in Christopher Nolan's ‘The Odyssey'
Cosmo Jarvis, best known for his recent role in FX's 'Shogun' and war drama 'Warfare', will no longer be joining the ensemble cast of Christopher Nolan's much-anticipated epic 'The Odyssey'. The actor was initially attached to the Universal Pictures production but has exited due to scheduling conflicts, according to industry sources. Jarvis is now preparing to lead the biopic 'Young Stalin', in which he will portray the early life of the infamous Soviet leader. With filming underway on multiple fronts, his commitment to that project reportedly clashed with the shooting schedule for 'The Odyssey', forcing him to step down from Nolan's ambitious adaptation. Jarvis' role in 'The Odyssey'—details of which remain closely guarded—has since been filled by Logan Marshall-Green, known for his work in 'Prometheus' and 'The Defeated'. The recasting was first reported by Deadline. 'The Odyssey', currently filming in locations including Morocco, Italy, Ireland, and Scotland, is based on Homer's ancient Greek epic poem. The film will be released in IMAX on July 17, 2026, and stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, King of Ithaca, who must navigate a treacherous return journey home following the Trojan War. Along his perilous voyage, Odysseus encounters mythical beings such as Polyphemus the Cyclops, the Sirens, the nymph Calypso, and the witch goddess Circe. Back in Ithaca, his wife Penelope cleverly fends off persistent suitors by unravelling a tapestry each night, clinging to the hope of her husband's return. His memory is kept alive by his son Telemachus, played by Tom Holland. The film boasts a star-studded cast including Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, and Anne Hathaway, with Greek gods such as Athena, Poseidon, and Zeus also set to appear in the narrative.
