Timothée Chalamet “protected” girlfriend Kyle Jenner by whisking her out of the Oscars ceremony in order to avoid the spotlight as his ex Lily-Rose Depp took to the stage.
RadarOnline.com reported that the 29-year-old actor wanted to ensure cameras wouldn’t be able to focus on Jenner’s reaction at seeing his former partner, especially as the reality star is feeling “fragile” following the death of her beloved hairstylist and friend, Jesús Guerrero.
An insider stated: “Kylie struggles with insecurity issues, and she can feel out of place at these events.
“She is aware of some of the criticism levelled at her and how some people believe she shouldn’t be at these ceremonies. She likes to avoid any drama.
“Plus, she is in a very fragile state right now. Jesus’ death has shaken her. He was not only her hair stylist but her best friend.
“She is really, really crushed by this and Timothée is doing everything that he can to be there for her and show her the love she needs right now.”
A video clip was posted on a Chalamet fan account on TikTok and shared by eagle-eyed viewers who questioned where they had gone. When Wicked’s Paul Tazewell made his way up to the stage to collect the golden statuette for Best Costume Design, Chalamet’s seat looked empty.
The insider continued: “They are both aware that had they stayed seated, everyone would have been talking about their reaction to Lily-Rose on stage.
“It would have caused unnecessary drama. Timothée did everything he could to keep her happy and to protect her.”
