As the night of the 2024 Academy Awards finally arrives, Jimmy Kimmel as the host for the night does too with this being his fourth time hosting this illustrious award ceremony. And right off the bat, the host started to set the tone for the rest of the night with his opening monologue, which, was more unhinged than ever.
This year, the talk show host took into account all the recent developments that occurred in the film industry, which included the snubbing of Greta Gerwig for Best Director, along with the recent failure of Dakota Johnson’s Madame Web at the box office. But amidst all of this, he also name-dropped Justin Bieber’s wife Hailey Bieber’s name in a very untasteful joke, and fans do not like it one bit.
Jimmy Kimmel Name Drops Hailey Beiber In An Unsavory Joke For His 2024 Oscars Monologue
Like always, the night of the 2024 Academy Awards was to have a presenter and a host to set the tone for the ceremony going forward, and for the fourth time, popular talk show host Jimmy Kimmel took the stage to address the star-studded list of attendees. And just like always, he had his monologue ready from the start, although he may have gone a bit too far this time.
At the end of his monologue, where he talks about the integrity and advancements in the film industry going forward with new talent taking charge after the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, the host commented, calling out Justin Bieber‘s wife Hailey Bieber while addressing the pretentiousness that Hollywood is also known for. In his monologue, He said:
“This stoppage has proved to us that in this strange town of ours, pretentious and superficial as it can be, at it’s heart is a unioin town. It’s not just a bunch of heavily botoxed, Hailey Bieber smoothie drinking, diabetes prescription abusing, gluten sensitive nepo babies with perpetually shivering chihuahuas.”
What The Fans Have To Say About This?
While the monologue was meant to be completely satirical and for laughs, this particular comment was not held in high regard, especially by fans of the couple, who took to the internet to raise their concerns.

Since this, at the end of the day, will just be chalked up to bad comedy, fans are still mad at him since they said it was mean to name-drop her like that.
