On Saturday, June 1, as Pride Month kicked off, Adele was performing at Las Vegas’s Colosseum in Caesars Palace. Known for her candid interactions with the audience, she was not about to let this interruption slide.
When an unnamed man loudly criticized the LGBTQ+ celebration, Adele immediately called him out. In a now-viral video, she shot back: “Did you come to my fing show and just say that Pride sucks? Are you fing stupid? Don’t be so f***ing ridiculous. If you have nothing nice to say, shut up, all right?”

🏳️🌈 This is what an LGBTQ+ ally looks like.
