The Golden Globes could be a bit tense tonight as Leonardo DiCaprio and Miley Cyrus are reportedly seated together, despite their ongoing ‘feud’.
Managing seating arrangements at events, whether it’s a dinner party or a wedding, is crucial to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Weddings, in particular, can involve bringing together individuals who may have differences, potentially leading to conflicts, especially if alcohol is involved.
It’s somewhat unexpected that the Golden Globes organizers, for the event airing tonight (January 11), decided to seat these two stars together. DiCaprio, nominated for the ‘best male actor in a film musical or comedy’ for his role in One Battle After Another, will be near music nominee Cyrus.
But what exactly is the ‘feud’ between the two?
The issue revolves around vaping, specifically DiCaprio’s unwillingness to share his vape.
Cyrus previously mentioned an incident where she called out DiCaprio for not sharing a vape at a party.
She recounted this during a 2015 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, recalling their meeting at a 40th anniversary event for Saturday Night Live.
“I was like 20 feet, 15 feet from Leonardo DiCaprio sitting there with his mom,” she explained.
Cyrus noted that DiCaprio was using a vape pen but didn’t offer her a turn.
She told Fallon: “There’s an etiquette of: ‘You need to pass that sh*t, Leo’. He never did, so that was weird to me.”
Fallon inquired if DiCaprio was ‘bogarting the vape’, to which Cyrus replied: “He wasn’t passing the vape.”
So, it seems DiCaprio was a bit protective of his vape around Miley Cyrus.
However, tonight’s event should be peaceful, provided vaping isn’t allowed during the ceremony.
This isn’t the first time vaping has caused a stir at the Golden Globes. In 2014, the ceremony faced criticism for ‘glamorizing’ vaping.
A comedic sketch featured Tina Fey and Amy Poehler poking fun at Julia Louis Dreyfus, portraying her with an e-cigarette in hand.
Senator Richard Durbin even criticized the event for potentially ‘killing the next generation of fans in your movies’ due to the portrayal of vaping.
Current evidence suggests that while vaping is less harmful than smoking tobacco, it is not risk-free, and the long-term health effects are still uncertain.
