BLACKPINK’s Rosé has become the center of heated debate after fans accused Hailey Bieber, Charli XCX, and Zoë Kravitz of “isolating” her at Saint Laurent’s Paris Fashion Week show. Clips and photos from the front row have gone viral, with global netizens criticizing the trio for what many call “rude” and “disrespectful” behavior.
Rosé, who serves as a global ambassador for Saint Laurent, was seated alongside Hailey Bieber, Charli XCX, and Zoë Kravitz. While the three stars chatted and interacted, Rosé appeared left out of the conversation. At one point, Hailey Bieber leaned slightly as if to include Rosé, but Charli XCX, seated between them, remained unmoved—blocking any direct interaction.
Charli XCX drew the most ire after posting a photo of the four stars on her social media—but in the picture, Rosé was overshadowed in the shadows, while the other three shined under the lights. Fans saw this as a deliberate attempt to “dim” the BLACKPINK singer. After backlash flooded her account, Charli uploaded three additional photos with Rosé in her Instagram stories, but critics dismissed the move as “fake” and “two-faced.”
Hailey Bieber initially appeared more neutral, as she at least made a gesture toward Rosé. However, she was also criticized for sharing Charli’s controversial photo and for failing to step in when Rosé was excluded from the group conversation.
The biggest cultural debate came from a hand gesture: Hailey and Zoë Kravitz motioned for Rosé to come closer for a photo. While some fans considered it normal, others argued the gesture resembled how pets are beckoned in Asian culture, sparking further accusations of disrespect.
Zoë Kravitz, seated next to Rosé, received backlash for never acknowledging the singer during the show. Many fans felt her indifference was dismissive, especially given Rosé’s high-profile role at Saint Laurent.
The incident quickly spread worldwide, with fans expressing outrage:
“This is bullying in plain sight.”
“Rosé is more famous globally than all three combined, yet they treated her like she was invisible.
“Hailey isn’t the worst, but she’s the most disappointing.”
Supporters of Rosé also pointed out that, aside from Hailey’s global fame as Justin Bieber’s wife, neither Charli XCX nor Zoë Kravitz match Rosé’s international recognition or commercial influence.
