You know what they say: mess with a bull, you will get the horns.
Or in the case of a drag queen, you mess with her and you may just find yourself being dragged across the entire internet.
Holly Stars, a queen starring in the murder mystery drag play Death Drop, running on London's West End, stopped the show during a performance to tell off an audience member who threw a bottle of coke onto the stage.
She shared the video on Twitter where it went viral.
Don\u2019t throw bottles onto stage during a drag play...pic.twitter.com/aeDB8hOund— Holly Stars (@Holly Stars) 1626088122
Worst part is the person seemed like they didn't think they deserved to be kicked out. Idk I didn't have front view but come on, you threw a damn bottle on stage. If you got caught anywhere you would get taken out. That's like a nice theater, no crazy concert either.— Nattie\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08\ud83d\udc9c (@Nattie\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08\ud83d\udc9c) 1626106477
Legend. And what a brilliant show \u2026 me and my fella couldn\u2019t get it together for laughing at this.— jay edwards (@jay edwards) 1626132237
"Whoever threw this bottle of coke up, get the f**k out of this theatre," said Stars, in a moment reminiscent of Patti LuPone's epic rant against a phantom photographer in the audience during one of her performances of Gypsy.
She then called security to "get this d**khead out of our theatre" as the rest of the audience chanted "out, out, out!"
I was PRAYING that there would be footage so I could see @hollywstars in all of her glory and oh my Lord this did not disappointhttps://twitter.com/hollywstars/status/1414542227007840261\u00a0\u2026— Captured By Corinne (@Captured By Corinne) 1626088974
The 2021 version of @PattiLuPone halting a show for cameras in the audience. Why is audience etiquette getting so bad? #WestEnd #Theatre #BottleOnStagehttps://twitter.com/hollywstars/status/1414542227007840261\u00a0\u2026— Ben Millerman (@Ben Millerman) 1626090768
Absolutely appalling, this show was one of the best nights I\u2019ve had in a long time filled with so much joy, laughter and love! We don\u2019t accept this behaviour in our house, disgusting!https://twitter.com/hollywstars/status/1414542227007840261\u00a0\u2026— A'WHORA (@A'WHORA) 1626125994
The West End run of @deathdropplay ended yesterday..... but not before this appalling moment. Some shows seem to attract bad behaviour; a similar thing happened during the run of ROCK OF AGES here, too....https://twitter.com/hollywstars/status/1414542227007840261\u00a0\u2026— Mark Shenton \ud83d\udc99 (@Mark Shenton \ud83d\udc99) 1626092120

Soon enough, the disrespectful audience member was escorted out and the cast resumed the show.
The creator of the show, Christopher D. Clegg, defended Stars' points of action with impunity.
"Just an FYI, if you throw a full bottle of Coke at a drag performer, you will absolutely be thrown out of the theatre, read to filth, and the police will be called."
"What absolute utter disgusting behaviour…. For no apparent reason! D**khead."
Love to see it. @hollywstars is the Queen we all need. \n\n@hollywstars confronts the disrespectful arsehole that threw a bottle on stage.\n\n"Whoever threw this bottle of coke up, get the f**k out of this theatre!\u201dhttps://twitter.com/hollywstars/status/1414542227007840261\u00a0\u2026— Davey\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08 (@Davey\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08) 1626101895

This is why in some West End theaters the ushers have bodycamshttps://twitter.com/hollywstars/status/1414542227007840261\u00a0\u2026— Alex Marshall (@Alex Marshall) 1626092259
Death Drop ended its run on Sunday, July 11th at London's Garrick Theatre.
But Holly Stars will surely be around the area for more iconic performances. Just respect your drag performers and don't throw bottles at them, or you may find yourself the subject of viral internet ridicule.
