It seems that Pauline Chalamet, actress and sister of Timothée Chalamet, might have taken a subtle jab at her brother’s girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, over the issue of billionaires and private jets.
The actress, known for her role in The Sex Lives of College Girls, shared a message on social media last year that caught the attention of many, especially given Kylie’s well-known status as a billionaire and jet owner.
Pauline’s Strong Opinion on Billionaires
Pauline’s post was a repost of a message from nonprofit organization MoveOn, originally shared by Democratic politician Melanie D’Arrigo.
The message read: “If your job requires a college degree, you should be able to write off your student loan payments as a business expense the way CEOs write off their private jets and yachts for their jobs which require neither.”
This strong stance against the wealthy caught people’s attention, especially in light of Kylie’s luxury lifestyle, including her private jet, Kylie Air.
While it’s unclear if Kylie uses her jet as a business expense, she has faced backlash over her carbon footprint and CO2 emissions.
Fans Speculate a Dig at Kylie Jenner
The timing of Pauline’s post led many fans to speculate that she might have been indirectly calling out her brother’s high-profile girlfriend.
It’s worth noting that Kylie, who is the CEO of Kylie Cosmetics, has consistently been at the center of discussions about billionaires and the privileges that come with immense wealth.
Bernie Sanders’ Tweet Adds Fuel to the Fire
In another post that raised eyebrows, Pauline reshared a tweet from Bernie Sanders criticizing the billionaire class, which has also stirred up conversations about wealth inequality.
Sanders’ tweet highlighted how three of America’s wealthiest men—Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg—had a clear influence over government policies, something Pauline agreed with in her caption.
She expressed frustration with the system, stating that it should not allow billionaires to exist while they barely pay taxes.
Given that Kylie Jenner is one of the world’s wealthiest people, as confirmed by Forbes, Pauline’s post seemed like another dig at the Kardashians’ influence in the world of billionaires.
However, despite these posts, it appears that things between Timothée, Pauline, and Kylie are still cordial.
A Warm Embrace and Public Appearances
Despite the tension some fans might perceive in Pauline’s posts, there have been moments where the Chalamet siblings and Kylie have appeared to get along.
Last October, for example, Pauline was seen sharing a warm hug with Kylie at the Coperni afterparty in Paris, signaling that there’s no ill will between the two women.
Timothée and Kylie’s Relationship in the Spotlight
Timothée and Kylie, who have been dating for over a year, were most recently seen together in Paris, where Timothée was promoting his new film, A Complete Unknown.
The couple shared a dinner at an upscale restaurant, Bar Des Prés, before attending the Golden Globes together earlier this month.
This marked the second consecutive year that Timothée invited Kylie to join him as his plus-one.
Since news of their romance broke, the couple has been spotted at several high-profile events, from Beyoncé’s LA concert to the US Open, where they showed affection publicly.
Additionally, Kylie’s children with ex-boyfriend Travis Scott—Stormi and Aire—have also gotten to know Timothée, as the couple spent the holidays together and shared a special family dinner.
A Relationship in the Public Eye
Despite the scrutiny that comes with their relationship, it’s clear that Timothée and Kylie are enjoying their time together.
As their romance continues to unfold, the public remains fascinated by their dynamic, and the Chalamet family’s reactions only add fuel to the fire.
