In wake of the jokes surrounding Austin Butler’s accent, his vocal coach spoke to ABC Gold Coast’s News about how she went about helping him re-create the singer’s iconic drawl and doubled down that it wasn’t something he was putting on anymore. In fact, she clapped back at haters. “I feel sorry that people are saying that, you know, it’s still acting,” she said. Page Six reported the story, pop culture Instagrammer Ryan Scott picked up on that, and that’s where Vanessa Hudgens came in.
Under a screenshot of Page Six’s headline, Scott ridiculed the entire situation, quipping, “He went to the Lady Gaga school of Oscar campaign acting.” In reply, Hudgens left a one-word comment: “Crying.” Understandably, her response prompted hundreds of replies, with some finding it hilarious and others accusing her of shadiness. “Now girl what you doin here lmfaoo,” wrote one. Another chirped, “Grow up.”

In fairness, there’s a chance Hudgens meant no ill will. After all, Hudgens has often been credited with helping him manifest his Elvis role in the first place. As she previously shared in an episode of “LIVE with Kelly and Ryan,” months before his casting, she’d caught sight of him singing along to one of the legend’s songs and told him, “Babe, you need to play Elvis!” Plus, soon after their split, a source told E! News, “They have a lot of respect for each other.” Guess we’ll leave this up to our own “suspicious minds.”
