Timothee Chalamet - what is likely to be happening behind the scenes?

Timothee Chalamet is being dragged across the internet for his recent comments on opera and ballet. From a PR perspective, what is happening behind the scenes? Is this considered a disaster, or is it more like “bad press is better than no press”? Is it likely he is panicking, or waiting for it to blow over? Is his public image forever damaged?

It seems the issue is compounded by his relationship with Kylie Jenner. People feel he’s not the indie, introspective actor they thought he was and now sense he must be quite vapid. So they no longer view him in the same light. I find it all very interesting, it would be good to hear about the behind the scenes of it all from a PR perspective. Thanks!
