As much as people love Tobey Maguire for his time as Peter Parker, they don’t love his recent outing with Lily Chee. The internet quickly called out Maguire’s shady relationship. One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, wrote, “Spiderman was released a year BEFORE she was born this is crazy.” Others questioned not only Maguire’s actions, but other men in the entertainment industry. They tweeted, “whats with old celebrity men and liking significantly younger women?”
The backlash about how Chee’s age wasn’t just geared toward Maguire; those close to him caught a bit of flack. When people questioned his ex-wife, Jennifer Meyer, about the relationship, she defended him. A screenshot from Reddit showed an Instagram user asking Meyer, “Why is your ex husband banging someone 3 years older than your daughter?” Meyer didn’t seem to be a fan of the comment and addressed the speculation surrounding Chee and Maguire. She said, “I don’t usually respond to such nonsense, but he was kindly helping a friend to her car, being a good guy,” she continued, “And now he has [been] blasted online for dating someone he is not. But thank you for your rude comment, I hope it made you feel better today. Wishing you love and light.”
Despite Meyer’s defense of Maguire, people aren’t convinced he was simply walking Chee to her car. They think there’s something more going on here.
