Ariana DeBose and Bella Ramsey combat harsh Critics Choice joke with a hug at the Emmys
LA TimesBella Ramsey, left, and Ariana DeBose shared a hug full of backstory at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday. Ariana DeBose and Bella Ramsey shared a hug at the 2023 Emmys, appearing to have put a harsh Critics Choice Awards joke aimed at DeBose behind them. Oscar winner DeBose and “The Last of Us” actor Ramsey could be seen embracing at the ceremony inside the Peacock Theater on Monday evening during a commercial break, according to a photo of the moment posted by pop culture writer Evan Ross Katz. And Jamie Lee Curtis backed her up in her since-deleted Instagram post, according to multiple reports, showing Ramsey’s joke and a montage of DeBose’s musical theater chops with the caption, “Are you f— kidding me! Ariana DeBose is a queen,” with the hashtags “#backthef—off” and “shutthef—up.” The Critics Choice writers were likely behind the joke and possibly were riffing off DeBose’s divisive performance last year at the BAFTAs, which drew online mockery that ultimately drove the actor off X, formerly Twitter.
