Surprise kiss sparks viral debate.
What’s actually energizing the comments section? The fact that Johansson, who is famously married to Colin Jost, kissed someone else—however professionally.
While some of them are perplexed, one commenter inquired, “Why do married people kiss others on the mouth?” “Whatever your orientation is, how and why is this okay if you’re married?” asked the other user.
Intense reactions.
Then came the more intense reactions—concerns over boundaries and professionalism. “Ain’t she married???”, said one commenter.
There were curious questions too! “Are actors basically in a polyamorous relationship? Since they’re always kissing every other actor they see?” said one user, while other speculate if Scarlett was divorced, “Did she divorce SNL guy?”
Too quick to judge?
The kiss may have only lasted a few seconds, but its impact is still felt across time. Whether it was a publicity trick or a spur-of-the-moment gesture, people aren’t letting it go.

“Everyone is talking about’my wife kissing another person,’ but they forget she is an actress who has kissed thousands of people for movies and other purposes. If you’re married to an actor or actress, I doubt he cares if she’s kissing a gay guy; they’re probably friends.” © luizaangelis/Instagram
