Jason Momoa is being accused of giving rude treatment to talk food critic Nigella Lawson on BBC One’s The One Show.
Aquaman is back!
But before we get into that… let’s talk about the upcoming release of his new movie, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which enters theaters this month.
And yes, Amber Heard is reprising her role as Mera.
Despite the controversial legal battle with ex-husband Johnny Depp, Heard has proven that she’s not going anywhere, and is all set to create waves again with our beloved Aquaman.
The news of Amber Heard returning to the franchise has undoubtedly caused a stir among fans worldwide, especially amid the ongoing legal case with Johnny.
The internet has been flooded with thousands of fans signing a petition demanding her removal from the film due to allegations made by Johnny last year.
The drama surrounding this case had created a whirlwind of backlash, with fans passionately voicing their opinions on either side.
Jason and Amber are back at it
But let’s not forget, at the heart of all this controversy is an incredible film franchise that has thrilled audiences worldwide.
The first film redefined superhero movies with its stunning underwater visuals and engaging storyline.
Just thinking about what’s in store for Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom makes us giddy with anticipation!
The film is expected to delve deeper into Aquaman’s life and his journey to becoming a King.
With Heard by his side as Mera, we can expect some exciting dynamics and intense action scenes.
No matter what the backlash or petitions say, these two have proven their on-screen chemistry in the first installment of Aquaman, and there’s no denying that they will deliver another stellar performance regardless of public opinion.
But now, Jason is receiving backlash for an incident that has sparked a flurry of reactions from fans all over the world and let us tell you, they are NOT happy.
Now, we all know Jason for his rugged good looks and roguish charm, but it seems like he took his Khal Drogo persona a bit too seriously on during his appearance.
Jason is currently on a press run in support of the Aquaman sequel.
Not happy with his conduct
Audiences quickly noticed a lack of basic courtesy throughout the interview and social media exploded with outrage!
Fans branded Jason’s behavior as rude and disrespectful.
Many pointed out that irrespective of his Hollywood fame and superhero status, there was no excuse for such ill-mannered behavior.
They felt he owed Nigella, who was also a guest on the show, an apology for his discourtesy.
Throughout his interview, people pointed out how Jason barely acknowledged Nigella, who was seated right next to him.
Social media reacts
“Jason Momoa sat with his back to Nigella the whole time on the sofa…so rude…” one annoyed Twitter user said.
Another wrote, “How bad mannered of the big guy Jason Momoa? Turning his back on Nigella. Cutting her out of the conversation.”
And the comments continued to pour in, with one person echoing similar thoughts as they added, “Never really been a fan of Jason, but now definitely not a fan the way he has his back to Nigella!”
Nigella, for those who watch British talk shows, is a woman of grace who has been serving the Brits some serious food goals for years.
She has written numerous bestselling cookbooks and hosted top-rated culinary shows with her easy charm and warm personality.
The incident has left many fans questioning their admiration for Jason.
After all, it’s not just about looks or fame, it’s also about how one treats others.
In this day and age, where respect and empathy are paramount, people on social media users feel that such behavior is heavily frowned upon.
Jason Momoa – well, we hope he takes this as a lesson learned and shows more respect in the future, even if it wasn’t intentional.
