8 Insane Outbursts That Got Celebrities In Serious Trouble

2. Armond White

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y2hHfvFF5c Now, CityArts editor and well-known (in critical circles, at least) contrarian film critic may not exactly be a celebrity in the strictest sense, but the controversy surrounding him and 12 Years A Slave director Steve McQueen may well have put him up there, at least for a moment or two. During this year's annual New York Film Critics Circle Awards dinner, McQueen accepted an award for the universally praised film but was allegedly heckled by Armond White, who had panned the film in his review. White called McQueen "an embarrassing doorman and a garbage man," confusingly, and "f**k you. Kiss my ass." White's heckling continued for as long as the director was on stage, but he didn't rise to the critic's attacks, instead ignoring him. It's unclear why White would want to make such a spectacle of himself, but he was later kicked out of the Critics' Circle for his behaviour, which he vehemently denies he was responsible for.
