Jacob Elordi Criticised After Responding Rudely To Fan Comment

Jacob Elordi is facing online backlash after a brief encounter with a fan went viral, with some people labeling his reaction as rude. The incident was shared on TikTok by fitness instructor Olivia Amato and quickly sparked debate about how the actor treats his supporters.

In the clip, Amato told Elordi she felt like she was going to throw up because she was so overwhelmed to meet him. Elordi responded, “Don’t do that, that’s disgusting,” a short remark that left fans divided.

Some viewers thought the reply was deadpan humor, while others called it actually so rude and weird, with one user saying the interaction completely changed their opinion of the star.

Amato quickly defended Elordi in her video caption, explaining that her comment had been a joke. She said she had been overwhelmed because she really loved him and that his blunt reply actually made her laugh.

“It was just a funny twist of fate and proof that dreams can come true in the most chaotic ways,” she wrote, encouraging her followers to enjoy the humor in celebrity interactions rather than overreact.

Despite the criticism, Elordi’s career shows no signs of slowing down. He recently received major awards attention for his role as the Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, which premiered on Netflix in late 2025 and earned him a Critics’ Choice Award. His performance was widely praised for bringing depth and nuance to the iconic character.

Elordi also recently starred as Heathcliff in Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights alongside Margot Robbie. While the casting initially sparked some discussion online, the film has performed well at the box office, further cementing Elordi’s reputation as a rising leading man.

Fans of Euphoria are gearing up for the third season, scheduled to premiere on April 12. The upcoming episodes feature a significant time jump, moving the characters out of high school and into more adult storylines, exploring deeper emotional and social complexities.

Later this year, Elordi will headline Ridley Scott’s post-apocalyptic thriller The Dog Stars. He plays Hig, a civilian pilot navigating a world devastated by a global pandemic, sharing the screen with Josh Brolin and Margaret Qualley. The film is expected to be one of the most talked-about releases of the year.

Social media reactions to the TikTok clip remain mixed. While some fans criticized Elordi for being dismissive, others praised him for keeping the moment light and authentic. Many viewers noted that celebrity encounters are often awkward, and what might seem harsh in a short video could be a simple case of miscommunication.
