Awkward Questions Ignite Controversy
The situation intensified when Fittler joked about a kiss cam during the live NRL coverage on Nine, a moment that left Jess momentarily speechless and Noemie questioning if they were on air. Fittler’s suggestive follow-up about the sisters’ enjoyment of the event added to the awkwardness, leading to a flurry of online criticism.
- Fans expressed their disbelief at the interview mishap.
- Comments ranged from labeling the moment as 'creepy' to calls for accountability.

Many fans are divided on whether the reaction to Fittler's comments was warranted, suggesting that it was an unfortunate but humorous slip-up rather than a deliberate offense.
