SAG Awards 2023: Aubrey Plaza gets caught losing her temper on stage during White Lotus win

Audrey Plaza was caught seemingly losing her temper on stage while her fellow White Lotus costars accepted the SAG Award for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series.

Despite her hit TV show earning one of the evening’s most competitive categories, the 38-year-old actress was accused of looking ‘annoyed’ and ‘p**sed off’ as she stood alongside Theo James, Meghann Fahy, and Will Sharpe and Jon Gries. 

While it is unclear what upset the Parks and Recreation alum, Gries was seen whispering something into her ear that many believed could have been about him warning her that she was about to suffer a wardrobe malfunction.

Following their chat, she immediately adjusted her daring gold gown with a criss-cross halter neckline, which barely contained her cleavage. 

Her moody behavior coincided with F. Murray Abraham’s speech, which ended with him sending a ‘a prayer out to the earthquake victims of Syria and Turkey and a prayer for peace in Ukraine and Russia’ and shouting Union forever!’ 

Upset? Audrey Plaza was caught seemingly losing her temper on stage while her fellow White Lotus costars accepted the SAG Award for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series

As the audience erupted in applause and the White Lotus cast congratulated each other with big hugs, Plaza appeared to awkwardly mouth ‘Jesus Christ’ under her breath. 

Along with her on-screen husband, Will Sharpe, she was one of the first of the cast to exit the stage as many of her costars were still embracing each other. 

Her actions confused many fans on social media as they took to Twitter to discuss her baffling mannerisms. 

‘What was she annoyed about?’ one Twitter user asked while another one inquired ‘why’ she was ‘so mad to win for White Lotus. 

A third insisted that the performed ‘seemed REALLY p**sed off’ and that ‘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,’ they continued. 

Another couldn’t help but point out that it seemed that Plaza ‘looked like she haaaaated being up there and immediately ran off stage while everyone in the cast was congratulating and hugging each other.’ 

Later, however, she appeared in higher spirits as she posed for a goofy snap with  Sharpe and for a group photo with the cast.

My first movie was with Clark Gable but back in those days I have to tell you the leading role was played by guys with their eyes taped up and they talked like this because the producer said Asians are not good enough and they are not box office, but look at us now, huh?

Goofy: Later, however, she showed off her goofy side while posing for photos with on-screen husband Will Sharpe
