In her April 1 appearance on The Breakfast Club, LoRosa shared more details about that night. The host said she heard an announcement asking the actors to leave the stage, the audience to stay seated, and not to take out their phones, leaving them confused about what was happening.
“It felt like a lockdown,” LaRosa told her cohosts.
The Moulin Rouge! team eventually resumed the show but stated that the rapper would not perform on stage for the rest of the evening.
Megan Thee Stallion’s hairstylist, Kellon Deryck, also took to social media, requesting prayers for the rapper.
“Everyone, say a prayer for Megan. We are all at the hospital,” he wrote.
Everyone say a prayer for Megan, we are all at the hospital 🙏
