Nicole Kidman appeared to scold Salma Hayek before refusing to pose for a photo with the actress, sparking furious speculation that the pair are embroiled in a bitter feud.
WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN KIDMAN AND SALMA?
But despite the furore over Kidman’s alleged cold shoulder, the actress was reportedly enraged by the braying photographers.
The actresses were said to be swapping advice after posing for pictures alongside Katy Perry at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week, when Kidman, 57, tired of the calls for more and walked away.

‘There is no issue,’ an insider said exclusively. ‘This is a snippet of a video that doesn’t represent reality. There is a photo of them posing together. Nothing happened.
‘They were talking about something concerning advice and having a pow-wow – while being bombarded and yelled at and surrounded from all angles by cameras. They just wanted to go.
‘They are friends and are fine despite what anyone thinks.’
They added: ‘Nicole is not rude. At all. She may be awkward at times, but she is not rude.’
Kidman and Hayek, 58, whose fashion mogul husband François-Henri Pinault owns Balenciaga, appeared to clash when they were asked to pose together with Perry, 39.
Perfect Couple actress Kidman, wearing oversized black sunglasses, appeared to swat Hayek’s hand as she motioned her for a picture before walking away.
Footage of the incident, which took place two weeks ago, started circulating on Sunday night, with fans inundating Kidman’s Instagram account with taunts and questions over her alleged behavior.

Forensic lip-reading expert Jeremy Freeman has analyzed the apparent clash, claiming Hayek was telling Kidman and Perry to ‘look, look’ at the photographers.
‘Let’s turn there, OK here,’ Hayek said to which Kidman replied: ‘Hey, I’m fine, I’m good.’
After kissing Perry on the cheek she added: ‘There, it’s enough, it’s OK.’
Hayek then put her arm on Perry as she told Kidman ‘that’s fine, that’s fine,’ before telling the Roar singer to ‘look, look’ at the photographers.
