Nicole Kidman And Salma Hayek's Feud A Misunderstanding: 'They Were Bombarded By Cameras'

Paris Fashion Week wrapped up a few weeks ago, but an alleged awkward moment between Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek is making headlines now. A paparazzi video circulating online shows the two stars at the Balenciaga show on September 30, where it seemed like some tension was cooking between them. In the clip, when Salma tries to turn Nicole towards the cameras, Nicole unexpectedly pushes Salma’s hand away instead of posing with her. Many on the internet interpreted this as rude. However, a source close to both actresses stated that the video has been misunderstood. The insider explained that Nicole and Salman were “bombarded by cameras,” while trying to talk and all the speculation about their beef is “silly.”

The source assured fans that the two Hollywood beauties are still friends despite the misunderstanding. Speaking with People, the insider shared, “They were being bombarded by cameras at the end of the show while in the middle of a conversation. People are looking at clips and making a story out of nothing. This whole situation is silly. Salma and Nicole love and respect each other.”

Meanwhile, another source, in a conversation with US Weekly said, “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 was being taken out of context. Nicole has recently lost her mom, let’s have some grace for her.”

Despite the rumoured tension, Salma Hayek had shared several behind the scenes photos and videos from Paris Fashion Week on her Instagram. In her post, the Frida star enjoyed time with her husband, Francois-Henri Pinault, along with other celebrities like Katy Perry, Bill Skarsgard, Lindsay Lohan and fashion mogul, Anna Wintour. One of the photos shows her happily posing with Nicole Kidman, which clearly suggests that there are no hard feelings between them.

Following the Paris Fashion Week, Salma Hayek enjoyed quality time with her family in Mexico. Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman made her first public appearance in the French capital city, since the passing of her mother, Janelle, last month. During the time, Nicole was attending the Venice Film Festival to promote her film Babygirl, but she had to leave the event early to be with her family in Sydney, Australia.
