Musician Jack Antonoff is facing backlash after fans called him "rude" towards comedian Amelia Dimoldenberg during an interview at the 2023 GQ Man of the Year Awards. Dimoldenberg, best known for her interview series Chicken Shop Date's and her awkward interview style, was chatting to Antonoff - best known for his collaborations with artists such as Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey - on the red carpet, saying it was "nice to meet him", whilst Antonoff appeared to ignore her and look at the crowd. Things only got worse when Dimoldenberg asked the songwriter if his glasses were "real." "Of course they are real," he replied. "That's extremely f**king offensive." Dimodlenberg chuckled at his comment, before Antonoff said, slightly chuckling himself, "That's like asking, 'Are you a piece of s**t? Are you a piece of s**t?" The whole time Antonoff seems to be avoiding Dimoldenberg's gaze. @pagesix Jack Antonoff is facing backlash for being “rude” to comedian Amelia Dimoldenberg during an interview at the 2023 GQ Man of the Year Awards.
