Malala Yousafzai tweets “treat people with kindness” following Jimmy Kimmel’s awkward exchange with her at the Oscars.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner made her Oscars debut on Sunday, March 12. The education activist attended the 95th Academy Awards ceremony as an executive producer of her short film called Stranger at the Gate, which was nominated for Best Documentary Short Film.
25 years old Yousafzai, appeared highly uncomfortable when the Oscar host approached her with a question during a break. Kimmel asked her a question about Chris Pine and Harry Styles’ “spit-gate” debacle, to which, she replied, “I only talk about peace.”
Meanwhile, Twitter users lauded Yousafzai for her “classy” response over the “unfunny and cringe” joke, while others were unimpressed by asking this question from her.
