Ben Stiller breaks silence on Pat McAfee remarks about him, Timothee Chalamet

Ben Stiller, who was present at the NBA Eastern Conference Finals with Timothee Chalamet, called out Pat McAfee for passing remarks about their attendance.

The 59-year-old actor, Timothee and Spike Lee were at the courtside cheering for the Knicks, when Pat took the mic to make a comment about the New Yorkers.

Pat, being a Pacers’ supporter, shaded the actors who backed the opposite team by saying: “we got some bigwigs from the big city in the building. Spike Lee is here. Ben Stiller is here. Timothee Chalamet is here.”

The next part of the announcement did not sit well with the Zoolander actor. Pat called them “sons of bitches,” asking Pacers to send them back “with their ears bleeding.”

Ben took to his X (formerly Twitter) to address the issue as he found the remarks “weird.”

However, the Night at the Museum actor admitted that they “were happy to be there and cheer our team.” He added that the “Indy fans were awesome” apart from the statement.

An X user advised him to not be bitter,” to which Ben replied politely: “No bitterness at all Indy fans were amazing good win for you guys.”

Is Ben Stiller a Knicks fan?

The Madagascar actor has been a very strong supporter of the Knicks for a very long time. The star is actively online on the tweeting platform to follow through the game.
