The annualMet Galais known for its high-fashion spectacles, but this year, Rachel Zegler found herself at the centre of a social media storm following her appearance at the event.
While many discussed her elaborate attire, a specific video from the evening began circulating rapidly across platforms, drawing attention not to her outfit but to her physical behaviour during the red-carpet session.
The controversy began when a clip of Zegler posing for photographerssurfaced on X. In the footage, the actress is seen wearing a white blindfold as part of her outfit, which initially drew praise for its bold artistic direction. Viewers' attention was soon drawn to her repetitive jaw movements as she remained stationary for the cameras.
Social media users offered their own interpretations, with many expressing concern or suspicion. One user commented, 'It's also because of ya know cocaine.' Another said her actions looked like she was 'geeking on some drug,' while others described the behaviour as a 'raging cocaine habit.'
The reaction grew as more users shared the video, with some suggesting the movements were typical of stimulant use. 'Jaw doing the Cocaine shuffle,' another person remarked. These unverified claims have placed Zegler under scrutiny despite no official evidence or statement regarding the allegations.

It’s also because of ya know cocaine
They're mocking her jaw movements for what one can only assume is her raging cocaine habit
She’s a narcissist, like the rest of them. This is not art, it absurdity. She looks like she’s geeking on some drug. Stop making excuses for them, they could give AF about you.
@grokHow much cocaine would a human need to get their jaw like that 😂
