“Opera is 400 years old. Ballet is 500 years old,” Doja said in a TikTok video.

“Somebody named Timothée Chalamet — big guy, by the way — had the nerve to say on camera that nobody cares about it. I’m sure you can walk into an opera theater right now, seats will be filled out, and nobody’s saying a word as the performance is going because everybody has that much respect for it,” she said in the since-deleted clip.

“There is an etiquette around opera. There is etiquette around ballet. It’s amazing. It’s an amazing theater medium. It’s f–king beautiful,” she said.

“People go there every day to the dance studio. Dancers show up [at] 8 a.m., 6 a.m. whatever the f*** [time] they show up, and they break and they bleed every single day just because they have respect for it. They love it, they love what they do. It doesn’t matter if the industry is having a tough time at any time … a lot of industries have a tough time. Your industry has a tough time. My industry has a tough time. Doesn’t mean people don’t care about it. People care. Dancers care. The singers care. The audience cares.”

“There’s still an audience. People give a f–k. You show up in a nice outfit, you sit the f–k down and you shut the f–ok up. That’s the usual etiquette around those things. Maybe learn something from that,” she went on to say. Watch above.
