Actresses Salma Hayek and Nicole Kidman recently made headlines after a video implying an altercation between the two went viral. Captured at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week, the two starlets seemed to have a heated exchange of words while posing for the photographers, and speculations have been rife about the topic.
However, a source close to Kidman reportedly said that there was no beef between the two starlets and that the Eyes Wide Shut star was still dealing with the death of her mother. Kidman had to abruptly leave the Venice International Film Festival, where she won Best Actress, as she received news of her mother’s passing.
What Is The Beef Between Salma Hayek And Nicole Kidman In Paris?
Salma Hayek and Nicole Kidman are two of the biggest powerhouse actresses working in Hollywood right now. Hayek has risen to the top as one of the most successful Latina stars in Hollywood while Kidman has delivered some of the most iconic performances of the past few years. The Eyes Wide Shut star recently won Best Actress at the Venice International Film Festival.
This week, the two made headlines after a viral video of them allegedly having a heated exchange made the rounds. The video was captured at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week, where the two starlets were in attendance. The video shows Hayek and Kidman arguing about something while posing for photos (via The Blast).
In the video, Kidman seemingly ignores Hayek and even gently swats her hand away before posing with a newly arrived Katy Perry. While the Internet speculated the cause for the argument, a source close to Kidman clarified it with US Weekly.
There is no beef between the two women. They are close friends and there’s nothing to this. They were in the middle of a conversation and it’s being taken out of context. Nicole has recently lost her mom, let’s have some grace for her.
Kidman reportedly went on to sit next to Hayek’s husband François-Henri Pinault, who was sitting next to his wife, actor Bill Skarsgard, and Anna Wintour.
Nicole Kidman Lost Her Mother Janelle Anne Kidman
While the world focused on the since-debunked feud between Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek at Paris Fashion Week, the event reportedly came as a solace to the To Die For star as she had been dealing with the recent death of her mother. Kidman reportedly received news of Janelle Anne Kidman’s passing when she reached Venice.
According to Variety, Kidman had to leave the film festival due to the tragedy and could not attend the ceremony where she won Best Actress for her role in Babygirl. A statement read out by the film’s director Halina Reijn said,
I’m in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her. She shaped me, she guided me and she made me. I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina. The collision of life and art is heartbreaking. My heart is broken.
The Paris Fashion Week event was reportedly her first public appearance since her mother’s passing.
