Bella Ramsey and Ariana DeBose squash their beef with a hug at the 2024 Emmys after a shady Critics Choice joke
They leave the past behind them.
Ariana DeBose seemingly forgave Bella Ramsey at the 2024 Emmys after the “Last of Us” actor made a joke at the Broadway star’s expense during the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday.
In a photo shared on social media, DeBose, 32, and Ramsey, 20, kissed at the awards ceremony at the Peac**k Theater in Los Angeles on Monday night.
The hug came a day after Ramsey — who uses they/them pronouns — made a joke about DeBose’s career as an actor and singer.
While presenting the award for Best Song, the “The Worst Witch” alum listed the “famous voices” in the category.
She reads the names of Billie Eilish, Lenny Kravitz and Dua Lipa, before joking: “And there are the actors who also think they’re singers: Jack Black, Ariana DeBose, Ryan Gosling.”
The camera then panned to the “Wish” voice actor, who looked less than amused by the remark, before cutting to a laughing Gosling, 43, who ended up winning the award for his track “Barbie”, “I’m Just Ken”. .”
After the ceremony, DeBose took to Instagram to share her true feelings about Ramsey’s prank.
“No, I didn’t find it funny. Lol,” she wrote on her Instagram story.
Fans of the “West Side Story” star came to his defense online, criticizing the joke for disrespecting DeBose’s award-winning career.
