Something tells us Aubrey Plaza forgot she was on live TV...
Fans have taken to social media to comment on why the actress looked so mad - and appeared to mouth an angry phrase - during the White Lotus acceptance speech at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards over the weekend.
Dozens of stars flocked to the event that honored the best achievements in film and television performances for 2022, at which veteran actress Sally Field (who most notably portrayed Miranda Hillard in Mrs. Doubtfire) won a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Among the other winners of the night was the cast of the mega-hit HBO series White Lotus, which won the SAG Award for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series. Though, 38-year-old Plaza stole the show after appearing to mouth some interesting phrases while on stage with the rest of the show's actors.
The incident occurred while White Lotus actor F. Murray Abraham, 83, gave a speech on behalf of the cast, while Jon Gries - who plays the husband of Jennifer Coolidge's iconic character - grabbed Plaza by the arm and appeared to whisper something in her ear. Gries appeared to mention something about Plaza's dress, which was dangerously close to a wardrobe malfunction, causing her to adjust it before turning her attention back to Abraham.
Then, as Abraham said "a prayer out to the earthquake victims of Syria and Turkey and a prayer for peace in Ukraine and Russia," and shouted "union forever", Plaza appeared to also mouth "Jesus Christ".
As the speech ended and the cast began to walk off, Plaza was also seen saying "s**t's f**ked" before leaving the stage.
Many netizens took to social media to voice their opinions on the whole affair - which was as chaotic as White Lotus itself - with one person writing: "Ok soooo what is going on with Aubrey Plaza and the rest of the White Lotus cast? She looked like she haaaaated being up there and immediately ran off stage while everyone in the cast was congratulating and hugging each other."
Others obviously agreed, like this person who added: "[...] On another note, did anyone notice Aubrey Plaza? She seemed REALLY p**sed off… there was something real odd about her on stage with the White Lotus team. She even exited the stage quick and alone rather than staying with the cast."
Another user offered a possible explanation, commenting: "She had a dress malfunction, and kept getting shoved by the people around her. She was probably just embarrassed and uncomfortable."
"Something was up. She looked so p**sed," another person wrote.
Another added: "she left the stage RUNNIN the hell was that lol."
Other users pointed out that Plaza just seemed annoyed at the speech in general, with one Tweet reading: "Glad I'm not the only one that noticed. She also seemed annoyed by his speech."
Someone thought that Plaza might have been embarrassed that her dress may have been revealing more than she intended, writing: "Her boob was falling out and she was mortified when she was informed by a cast mate."
