Kylie Jenner ignored by Charles Barkley in viral Knicks moment
During Game 5 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals at Madison Square Garden, all eyes weren't just on the court but also on the celebrity-filled sidelines.
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner made a high-profile appearance to support the New York Knicks as they battled the Indiana Pacers to stay alive in the playoffs.
The moment that stole the spotlight, however, came when NBA legend and TNT analyst Charles Barkley warmly embraced Chalamet courtside—while seemingly ignoring Jenner, who stood right next to the actor. The moment sparked quick reactions online, with fans debating whether it was an accidental oversight or a pointed snub.
Charles Barkley: "Thank you for taking care of my boy, Ernie [Johnson]."
Timothee Chalamet: "I'm trying." 🤝

Despite previously showing support for the Los Angeles Lakers, Chalamet has become a regular at Knicks playoff games alongside Jenner. The couple even shared a moment of public affection during the game, underscoring their growing visibility as a courtside duo.
On the court, the Knicks delivered under pressure, defeating the Pacers 111–94 and forcing a Game 6. Jalen Brunson led the way with 32 points, continuing his remarkable postseason run. With that performance, he joined LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the only players to record at least 10 games with 30+ points and five assists in a single postseason.
Game 6 is now set for Saturday in Indiana, with the Knicks hoping to tie the series. While the basketball action was intense, it was the celebrity moment between Barkley, Chalamet, and Jenner that left fans buzzing well beyond the final buzzer.

Stefon Diggs quotes Quavo amid Cardi B and Offset drama
NFL star Stefon Diggs closed out May with a cryptic Instagram post that's gaining attention due to ongoing drama between his girlfriend, Cardi B, and her ex-husband, Offset. Diggs, who hard-launched his relationship with the rapper at a Knicks game last month, posted a reflective message alongside a clip of Quavo, Offset's former Migos bandmate, saying 'wrap it up.' The timing of the post didn't go unnoticed, especially as tensions between Cardi B and Offset continue to escalate. Last week, Offset made headlines for reportedly seeking spousal support, prompting Cardi B to respond with a fiery Twitter Spaces rant where she expressed extreme frustration over their split. In her outburst, Cardi B said, 'I want you to die fcking slow… and while you die, n**a, you gotta think of me.' The explicit statement sparked renewed attention on the acrimonious divorce. Meanwhile, Diggs has also faced scrutiny after a viral boat video surfaced showing him surrounded by several women. Some of Cardi B's fans were quick to criticize the footage. However, the rapper appeared unbothered, reposting Diggs' recent Instagram Story to show public support. With both romantic and public challenges in the spotlight, Diggs' subtle use of a Quavo clip has added fuel to speculation about tensions between the exes and their new partners. As June begins, fans continue to monitor how the Cardi B–Offset fallout and Diggs' rising profile in the entertainment world will evolve.
