Brody Jenner Defends Kylie and Timothée Chalamet Amid Ex's Claims
Brody Jenner has publicly criticised Sarah Tena, a former adult entertainer and ex of actor Timothée Chalamet, after she claimed she was "blindsided" by his relationship with billionaire makeup mogul Kylie Jenner. The 42-year-old brother of Kylie responded to Tena's comments under a Page Six post reporting her allegations, urging her to "leave the happy couple alone" and accusing her of seeking attention.
Sarah Tena's Allegations and Timeline
Earlier this week, Sarah Tena, aged 32, asserted that she had been romantically involved with Timothée Chalamet for three years before he met Kylie Jenner, who is 28. Tena detailed that she and Chalamet, 30, connected sporadically after initial contact on Instagram, with their interactions culminating in her confessing her deepening feelings during their last in-person meeting. She claims that just six months later, Chalamet was in a relationship with Kylie Jenner.
Tena previously stated that their non-exclusive romance began in January 2020 when she messaged Chalamet on Instagram from her professional account "Azul Hermosa" after seeing him in the Netflix film The King. Her comments have sparked a wave of media attention, prompting Brody Jenner's sharp rebuttal.
Brody Jenner's Fiery Response
In his response, Brody Jenner wrote: "Oh god. Just leave the happy couple alone. People have lives before they meet their person. This girl is clearly doing this for attention, and everyone can see right through it." His defence comes amid ongoing public scrutiny of Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's relationship, which has been a topic of fascination since they began dating three years ago.
Oscars Aftermath and Public Backlash
This controversy unfolds in the wake of Timothée Chalamet's disappointing night at the Academy Awards, where he was an early favourite for Best Actor for his role in Marty Supreme but lost to Michael B. Jordan for Sinners. Chalamet faced public mockery and backlash following controversial remarks he made about opera and ballet, stating that "no one cares about" these art forms in a Variety interview.
At the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Chalamet was seen seeking comfort in Kylie Jenner's affections, wrapping his arms around her and planting a kiss on her cheek. Kylie, who has been a steadfast support throughout their relationship, attended the event in a stunning black dress that highlighted her figure, while Chalamet wore the same white suit from the Oscars that drew criticism on social media.
Industry Reactions and Awards Season Tensions
The Oscars ceremony itself featured jabs at Chalamet's comments, with host Conan O'Brien joking about security concerns due to potential attacks from the opera and ballet communities. The awards season saw Chalamet initially dominating with wins at the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards, but momentum shifted after Michael B. Jordan's victory at the Actor Awards earlier this month.
Chalamet's remarks sparked outrage from the arts community, including legendary director Steven Spielberg, adding to the tension surrounding his public image. Despite the setbacks, Kylie Jenner has remained by his side, exemplifying their strong bond amid the swirling gossip and professional challenges.
As the drama continues to unfold, Brody Jenner's intervention underscores the family's commitment to protecting Kylie and Timothée's privacy, while Sarah Tena's claims highlight the complexities of celebrity relationships in the public eye.
