“Extremely disrespectful,” that’s how fans ofNicola Coughlanlabeled the behavior of celebrities and staff at theEmmy Awardsafter a clip showed themrepeatedly stepping in front of the actresswhile she was being photographed.
TheBridgertonstar was at the event’s red carpet wearing a striking metallic-colored gown posing for the cameras, when all of the sudden several attendees casually walked in front of her, behaving as if she didn’t exist.
Coughlan could be seen exclaiming a silent “wow” after a couple stopped directly in front of her. She tried resuming her pose only for another round of attendees to stroll in front again.
“This was actually her first Hollywood carpet so this irritates me that nobody was there to do anything,” wrote one fan on X, wondering where her team was.
