Bella Ramsey made an awkward joke about Ariana DeBose which she "didn't find funny" at all.
The Last Of Us star Bella, 20, made a savage dig about "actors who think they are singers" during the Critics Choice Awards. Ariana, 32, appeared visibly fuming about the comment on Sunday, as she was caught glaring by the cameras following the joke. However, it appears the pair have managed to put any bad blood aside.
The following night, the two reunited at the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. Bella and Ariana were spotted hugging as they sat in the audience. The Wish actress was all smiles at the awards ceremony as she appeared to shrug off the comments from the night before.

Nottingham-born Bella took to the stage with In The Heights star Anthony Ramos Martinez to present the award for Best Song at the Critics Choice Awards.
The gong ultimately went to Ryan Gosling's I'm Just Ken hit from the hit Barbie film. Before naming the nominees, Bella made a joke about "actors who think they can sing." The actor stated that "some of the most famous voices in the music industry," such as Billie Eilish, Lennie Kravitz and Dua Lipa were in the category.

Bella then joked: "Then there are the actors who think they're singers: Jack Black, Ariana DeBose, and Ken himself, Ryan Gosling," and the camera showed Ariana, who looked less than pleased at being poked fun of. The actress is best known for her roles in Westside Story (2021), Hamilton and Westworld. She went viral last year after performing a rap at the BAFTAs.
