BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Kylie Jenner faced online trolling when Zendaya, Timothee Chalamet's close friend, unfollowed her on Instagram.

Internet users mocked Kylie, highlighting that Zendaya had been a longtime follower, and the sudden unfollowing raised questions about their relationship.

While Zendaya and Kylie never had a publicly acknowledged friendship, speculations and playful comments emerged, hinting at Zendaya's disinterest and humorously suggesting Kylie might be entering a "flop era" in social media dynamics.

"Maybe Zendaya is just doing a sweep?? Nothing feels better than deleting people you don’t actually care about," commented one on Reddit. 

"Kylie Jenner flop era incoming," said another user. 

One more user said, "Wonder if it has something to do with Timothee."

"She was good friends with him, she’s probably annoyed that KJ has led to them not really being that anymore," added a user. 

"Babe it probably has everything to do with Timothee," commented another user. 

A user also said, "That would also make sense. Still odd to unfollow the gf of her so called 'bestie' She must assume people are going to question it and it could reflect badly so something might’ve happened.". 

"man being unfriended by Zendaya is an absolute BURN," commented another user. 

"No way, something must of happened surely???" a user stated. 

"It’s bc Kylie is poor now lol," added another.

Kylie and Timothee's first encounter was in January 2023 at a Jean Paul Gaultier fashion show during Paris Couture Week. Their initial in-person meeting became evident through a video capturing their laughter at the event.

Subsequent public appearances and their unmistakable public displays of affection left no doubt that the two were romantically involved. Their growing connection quickly became a topic of interest among fans and the media.
