Macy Gray’s recent appearance on The Masked Singer UK shocked both fans and crew alike when the singer stormed off the stage in frustration.
The incident occurred when production staff asked Macy to remove her oversized Toad costume, which led to an hour-long standoff before she was persuaded to return.
Host Joel Dommett couldn’t help but laugh, calling the moment the funniest thing he had ever witnessed.
“You can’t be vexed when you’re dressed as a toad,” Dommett quipped, perfectly capturing the absurdity of the situation.
Macy Gray’s History of Stage Tantrums
This isn’t the first time Macy has made headlines for her behavior on television.
Back in 2021, she had a similar meltdown on the Australian version of The Masked Singer, further cementing her reputation for fiery outbursts on live television.
But as much as Macy’s tantrum stole the spotlight, she’s far from the only celebrity to have a memorable diva moment on camera.
Let’s take a look back at some of the most iconic TV strops over the years.
Kim Kardashian’s Famous earring Fiasco
Reality TV icon Kim Kardashian became an instant meme in 2011 after a dramatic moment on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
While on vacation in Bora Bora, Kim lost one of her $75,000 diamond earrings during a sea swim.
As she screamed in panic about the missing jewel, sister Kourtney famously deadpanned, “Kim, there’s people that are dying.”
The dramatic scene was followed by a heroic rescue by younger sister Kylie Jenner, who found the earring after a 10-foot dive, making Kim’s moment of distress almost seem like a scene from a movie.
Mariah Carey’s NYE Disaster and Meltdown
One of the most infamous diva moments came from Mariah Carey during New Year’s Eve 2017.
The singer was flustered when ABC played the wrong lip-sync track during her live performance in Times Square.
Despite her attempts to salvage the situation, including some awkward dancing, Mariah eventually declared, “I’m trying to be a good sport here,” before walking off stage in frustration.
The entire episode sent Twitter into a frenzy, marking another iconic moment in diva history.
Vanessa Feltz’s Legendary Tantrum on Celebrity Big Brother
In 2001, TV personality Vanessa Feltz made waves during the first season of Celebrity Big Brother UK.
After being nominated for eviction, she had a memorable outburst, scribbling profanities on the kitchen table and refusing to listen to Big Brother’s instructions.
Reflecting on her behavior, Vanessa admitted years later that it wasn’t as big of a deal to her at the time, though it became one of the most iconic moments of the early celebrity version of the show.
Justin Bieber’s On-Air Strop
In 2015, Justin Bieber made waves on The Today Show when he threw a fit after his performance.
Concerned that his dance moves hadn’t been captured on camera, he approached the cameraman to complain, unaware that the camera was still rolling.
Caught on tape, Bieber was seen fuming, “The camera’s there the whole time, I might as well not even dance.”
The incident quickly went viral, with many fans mocking the star for his outburst.
Gemma Collins Quits I’m A Celebrity After Three Days
Known for her larger-than-life personality on The Only Way is Essex, Gemma Collins shocked viewers when she quit I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here after just three days in the jungle.
Complaining about food portions and misdiagnosing herself with malaria, Gemma declared she couldn’t handle the conditions.
“No amount of money would keep me here,” she famously said, leaving fans on Twitter unimpressed with her decision.
Kanye West Interrupts Taylor Swift’s VMA Moment
Perhaps one of the most talked-about celebrity tantrums in recent history came from rapper Kanye West.
In 2009, he interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs, claiming that Beyoncé deserved to win instead.
“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!” Kanye’s infamous words sparked a feud that continued for years, cementing this moment as one of the most dramatic on stage strops ever seen on live television.
These celebrity meltdowns might just be moments of drama, but they’ve certainly left their mark on pop culture, making them unforgettable for fans and critics alike.
Whether it’s a lost earring or a botched performance, it seems that even the most famous faces are prone to the occasional diva moment.
