Kylie Jenner Faces Fan Backlash Over Public Displays of Affection

The couple appeared in the VIP section alongside notable figures including Beyoncé and Tom Cruise, yet their public display of affection dominated social media discourse. Critics pointed to the recent death of Jenner’s grandmother, Mary Jo “MJ” Shannon, who passed away at 91 on July 16, as grounds for questioning the reality star’s public demeanor. Comments on platforms like X labeled the outing “a little too happy,” with some users questioning why the pair prioritized a high-profile sports event over private grieving.

This incident follows similar criticism directed at Kim Kardashian, who faced backlash for sharing bikini-clad photos shortly after the matriarch's death. Kardashian clarified that her content had been prescheduled, emphasizing that she had been by her family’s side throughout the week. While the spotlight remained on Jenner’s PDA, Chalamet maintained a separate focus, having been selected to ceremonially deliver the match ball onto the field. Despite the professional appearance, the public remains focused on the perceived disconnect between the couple’s celebratory behavior and the recent loss of a central family figure.
