Nicole Kidman has been receiving critical acclaim for her role in the movie Babygirl. However, her red carpet appearance at the film’s premiere was marred by what many labeled as ‘rude’ behavior.
The focus shifted from Kidman’s performance as a CEO involved in a forbidden office romance to a viral moment involving a reporter from Pop Crave.
During a Q&A session, Kidman requested the reporter to repeat their outlet’s name. She then appeared puzzled, looked away, and burst into laughter, indicating that she was unfamiliar with the outlet.
Some fans found her reaction refreshingly unbothered, praising her ‘offline queen’ energy, while others were less impressed, calling it dismissive.
One follower admitted, ‘I would’ve been so embarrassed if i was popcrave and nicole kidman laughed at me like that,’ while another bluntly declared, ‘She’s rude.’
Another chimed in, ‘Kinda bitchy by Nicole to me but oh well,’ while someone else added bluntly, ‘Sorry but this is fkin awful behaviour.’

Instead of the spotlight staying on her portrayal of a CEO entangled in a forbidden office romance, the Oscar winner’s viral exchange with a reporter from Pop Crave took center stage
A third didn’t hold back, writing, ‘Like lowkey the way she laughed so extremely too I’d be like nvm bitch I’m not asking you anything then,’ and another agreed, ‘Yeah I think it’s kind of rude on her part.’
Despite the backlash, not everyone was clutching their pearls. Some fans found the moment delightfully on-brand for the star.
After all, who could better embody too cool for social media than Nicole Kidman herself?
As one amused fan quipped, ‘HAHAHAHAA omfg she’s a legend,’ while another said, ‘She’s so Queenie!’
Meanwhile, Nicole recently spilled details on the intense sex scenes in Babygirl.
The 57-year-old actress explained to Woman’s Day how she and her 28-year-old co-star, Harris Dickinson, prepared for their ‘delicate and intimate and very deep’ moments.
Despite working with an intimacy coordinator, Kidman noted, ‘There was still a flow to it, which allowed space to move and change and work,’ adding, ‘It wasn’t confined, and I love to work that way.’
She compared her submissive character’s dynamic with Dickinson’s younger intern to the ‘abusive’ relationship her character endured in Big Little Lies.
During the Q&A, Kidman asked the reporter to repeat their outlet’s name, then shrugged, glanced off-camera, and let out a hearty laugh that suggested the name still didn’t ring a bell

‘So Big Little Lies is actually very different, but this definitely leaves me exposed and vulnerable and frightened and all of those things when it’s given to the world,’ Kidman said.
In October, the actress revealed to The Sun that she had to take a break during filming, confessing, ‘There was an enormous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration. It’s like, “Don’t touch me.”’
She added, ‘There were times when we were shooting where I was like, “I don’t want to orgasm any more. Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life! I’m over it.”’
The A24 erotic thriller also features Antonio Banderas, Esther Rose McGregor, Sophie Wilde, and Izabel Mar.
