Usher, the R&B icon behind countless chart-toppers, is in the spotlight for more than just his music this week. A viral video from the Baccarat Hotel in Paris has social media buzzing—and not in the good way.
In the clip, Usher, 46, is seen exiting the hotel with a female companion. As the woman opens a door, Usher lets her pass, then turns to look at the doorman, who reacts quickly to open the second door. The singer’s brief pause and lingering stare toward the doorman have fans and critics speculating: Was Usher annoyed? Entitled? Or simply pausing?
🎥 What the Video Shows
-
No words exchanged.
-
Usher’s body language has become the focus.
-
Some say the singer looked “annoyed” the door wasn't opened for him.
-
Others argue the moment is being blown out of proportion.
“Can’t blame the doorman for thinking he doesn’t have to usher someone who calls himself the Usher,” quipped one user.
🚘 Car Door Clip Adds Fuel
A second clip that surfaced later showed Usher’s car door failing to close properly, prompting a member of his team to intervene. Though unrelated, the back-to-back incidents have amplified the scrutiny.
Still, no evidence suggests that Usher spoke rudely or acted aggressively toward hotel staff in either situation.
💬 Fans Divided: Polite Pause or Celebrity Ego?
Some defended Usher’s demeanor, pointing out the nuance of body language and noting that split-second moments shouldn’t be overanalyzed. Others say the video highlights the expectations celebrities may have when it comes to service.
“If you’re going to pause and stare at someone over a door, maybe it’s time to check your ego,” one commenter wrote.
🌍 Final Thought: Viral or Just Vibe?
In the age of viral moments and instant judgment, Usher's doorway pause is the latest example of how quickly the internet can turn a silent moment into a full-blown debate. Whether it was entitlement or just a misread body language, one thing is clear:
Every move a celebrity makes is now under a global microscope.
