Footage shows Adele may have misheard allegedly homophobic heckler accused of shouting “Pride sucks”

nme.com:

Adele recently went viral for criticising a heckler who shouted “Pride sucks” during one of her shows in Las Vegas, but it appears that the singer may have misheard the crowd member.The star was performing at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace last Saturday (June 1) – which coincided with the start of Pride Month – as part of her ongoing Weekends With Adele residency.At one point in the concert, a male attendee interrupted Adele speaking with an apparent homophobic remark.“Did you come to my fucking show and just say that Pride sucks?

Are you fucking stupid?” she fired back. “Don’t be so fucking ridiculous. If you have nothing nice to say, shut up. Alright?”However, a longer fan-shot clip shows that Adele had been speaking about her busy work schedule before the man shouted out.“Friday’s basically the beginning of my week, you know, because that’s when I work, basically,” she told the audience. “So it’s sort of like the weekdays are my weekend, an extra long weekend.”It was during the latter sentence that the man yelled “Pride sucks”.

But some fans have claimed that Adele misheard him and that he actually shouted “work sucks” in response to her comments.Adele calls out homophobic fan during the vegas residency @Adele Access #adele #fyp #foryoupage #4youpage #pridemonth #happypride #lasvegas #parati #adeleresidency #cesarspalace ♬ original sound – Diego_jayyy On X/Twitter, music and pop culture account Mr.
