'Hamilton' Star Anthony Ramos Blasts Madonna For Disrespectful Audience Behavior

Although Miranda didn't name names, rumors quickly swirled that he was referring to Madonna.

The speculation was so widespread that her publicist publicly denied the claims, saying, "It's not true. She was invited backstage four different times," and that she "texted post-show when they were doing their fundraising pitch. Madonna had already made a generous donation."

Jonathan Groff, who played King George III, slammed Madonna directly in a 2015 interview with Dot429, saying, "You couldn't miss it from the stage. It was a black void of the audience in front of us, and her face there perfectly lit by the light of her iPhone through three-quarters of the show."

He added that she wasn't invited backstage because "that b-tch was on her phone."

Before she was called out by "Hamilton" stars for allegedly texting through a Broadway performance, Madonna faced backlash for another phone faux pas, and this one reportedly got her banned from a movie theater.

Back in 2013, the Queen of Pop made headlines after allegedly texting during a screening of "12 Years a Slave" at the New York Film Festival. According to Page Six at the time, when another guest asked her to put her phone away, Madonna snapped back, "It's for business…enslaver!"

Still, the controversy sparked enough noise that Alamo Drafthouse CEO Tim League tweeted that Madonna had been banned from their theaters unless she issued a public apology.

While she never addressed the incident directly, the moment became part of a growing pattern of criticism aimed at the "Material Girl" for her screen-time habits during live performances, one that would flare up again in 2015 when "Hamilton" stars accused her of texting throughout the second act.

Though she has a long history with Broadway, starring in "Speed-the-Plow" in 1988 and famously portraying Eva Perón in the 1996 film adaptation of "Evita," her performances have sparked polarizing opinions.

Broadway legend Patti LuPone, who originated the role of Eva on stage, once said, "Madonna is a movie killer. She's dead behind the eyes… She cannot act her way out of a paper bag."

Gripping gossip from a decade ago.

Patti's cuntiness can sometimes be useful!

Not until it finally got her canceled, R3.

She's not a frien-DAH!

Surely there is a process when someone disruptive in a theatre can be asked to leave if they don't comply with basic etiquette, regardless of whether they are Madonna or not?

If it's disrupting the cast they can flag up the person and delay the next scene until the issue is dealt with.

Anthony Ramos is HOT!

I want him inside me, quite deeply.

Ladies, ladies…you’re all cunts.

How big is Anthony's chorizo?

I'm glad Ramos called her out publicly. Why should anyone get a pass for using an iPad during a performance just because they are famous? The audience members near her must have been fuming due to the distraction of the light/movement. She should have been told to put it away or leave by an usher.

To follow up on this when George Clooney and Patti LuPone did their sit down chit chat Patti mentioned a play where a woman was on her phone for all of the performance and at the end she had to go and shake the audience members hands and she stole the phone.

Just pause they play and tell her to put her fucking phone away!.

"Terrifying"...Really, now? Distracting, discourteous, but terrifying?

Ramos is very sexy but he's annoyed the absolute FUCK out of me in everything he's been in. I had to fast forward through most of his In Treatment scenes because of his loud overacting.

Do as I say, not as I do.

His best work was in a Crown Royal commercial, believe it or not.

He's very engaging in it.

What Would Gaga Do?

Crown Royal?

What’s next: Martini & Rossi?

Can you imagine what Madonna would have done if somebody held a flashlight to their face when she was stinking up the stage in Speed-the-Plow?

She’s pulled this shit so many times. She had the nerve to make people’s phones locked for her shitty Madame X show.

How did they do that?

Does it work on all phones?

Only for nasty manhattanites!

She was kicked out of the Angelika for just looking at her phone.

And that's the most impact she's ever had on scretn

Did she screatm as she was tossed out to Mercer St? I hope so.

Funny thing is he seems like her type

I don't know if she made a fuss, she was probably happy to have finally made in impact of any kind in a movie theater

It was a game he was playing on Andy's Cohen's WWHL show.

Andy was asking Anthony some "hair raising questions." It was supposed to be "spooky." Lol.

Here's the clip. Anthony looks good.

Jeremy has no prob with this.

It really became an issue when she began to vogue in her seat.

adhd, I have it too.

Generic Latino. Meh

What kind of business required her constant attention during a play? Why bother going unless she wanted be seen not paying attention?

It's for business…ENSLAVER!

Texting is far more interesting than being forced to sit through that pile of shit Hamilton.
