Masked Singer reveal that caused an instant walk-out
As the US version of the Masked Singer begins filming, two judges have reportedly stormed off stage after a controversial contestant's grand reveal.
The Hangover actor Ken Jeong and singer Robin Thicke, who are on the judging panel for the US version of the celebrity reality show, left the stage in the middle of filming after former New York mayor and Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani was unmasked as one of the singers.
The episode was filmed last week and is set to air later next month.
Fellow judges Nicole Scherzinger and Jenny McCarthy remained on-set. It was not revealed how far into the competition Giuliani had managed to progress, nor what costume he was wearing (though social media posts have outed him as ‘Cupcake Face’).
Giuliani, 77, a former prosecutor, has become a controversial figure in recent years, off the back of his humiliating cameo in the 2020 Borat film, and for his support of Trump.
Jeong and Thicke reportedly returned to stage eventually, where the judges all had a brief chat with Giuliani. The episode has not aired yet but the masses over on Twitter are still getting a kick out of the leaked performance.
We are only one month into 2022 and it is already nuts.
