2021 brought a series of controversies and one of them happened to be the infamous three-way kiss between Taika Waititi, Rita Ora, and Tessa Thompson. Taika Waititi and Rita Ora are now happily married in a secret ceremony that took place in London in 2022 and the incident has long been rather iconic in the audience’s mind.
The kiss itself had raised a lot of ruckus amongst fans as they were taken aback by the surprise encounter.
Backlash Faced By Taika Waititi
The three-way kiss that took place at a party held atTaika Waititi‘s mansion’s balcony with bothRita OraandTessa Thompsonstood out the most in the event. Fans from across the world were criticizing the filmmaker for the peck and he as well as Ora and Thompson received a lot of hate for the same.
Tessa Thompson came out as bisexual back in 2018 and ever since then she has been open about exploring her options. So when the fans press spotted her nose to nose with Rita Ora, it came out as an even bigger surprise because at that time her relationship with Waititi had just been revealed.

Thompson was seen days later kissing Australian model Zac Stenmark who was 29 at that time. They had looked rather chummy and infatuated with each other and theThor: Ragnarokfilmmaker had revealed in April of 2021 about his and Rita Ora’s relationship.
What raised the fans to question the situation further was that Taika Waititi had then later gone public and claimed that he had done no wrong because of kissing the two. Some fans seemed to be amused by the situation and“wished to be in their shoes,”while some were against their actions altogether.
