Aubrey Plaza’s on-stage temper tantrum at the SAG Awards sparked a flurry of social media speculation last night over just what left her looking so furious
Although the 38-year-old White Lotus star has not publicly addressed the incident, a source close to Aubrey revealed that her irritated outburst was prompted by several different interactions on-stage.

The first, the insider shared was a ‘direct result of her almost being elbowed in her face’ as she and her fellow female co-stars were shuffled to the back of the stage while several of the male cast members made acceptance speeches.
And, the source added, that wasn’t the only incident to rile up the actress as she and her fellow White Lotus stars took to the stage to accept the award for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series.
The insider confirmed speculation that Aubrey Plaza’s temper was further aggravated when her co-star Jon Gries warned her that her ‘boob was hanging out’ of her risque gown. She was also seen muttering ‘Jesus Christ’ when her co-star used his speech to pay tribute to those who had died in the earthquake in Turkey and Syria.

‘There were a couple of different things going on in that moment. ‘First, she was told that her boob was hanging out which would cause any woman to be uncomfortable.
‘Then she was almost elbowed in the face and her reaction was a direct result of that.’
Aubrey Plaza’s visibly ‘annoyed’ expression on-stage at the awards prompted a firestorm of social media reaction, with many viewers noticing that her first flash of anger occurred after Jon — who plays the husband of Jennifer Coolidge’s character in the show — leaned over to whisper something in her ear.
The actress looked panicked for a second before looking down at her outfit and frantically adjusting the sequined ‘straps’ that criss-crossed over her chest.
Then, as she was adjusting her gown, White Lotus actor F. Murray Abraham was giving a speech to the crowd, in which he sent a ‘prayer out to the earthquake victims of Syria and Turkey and a prayer for peace to Ukraine and Russia.’
When the crowd applauded, he shouted ‘Union Forever!’ And instead of clapping along with the cast, Aubrey Plaza was seen mouthing the word’s ‘Jesus Christ’ under her breath.

Several viewers suggested that her outburst may have been directly linked to Abraham’s speech – however what many didn’t seem to spot was that she was nearly hit in the face by the elbow of one of her co-stars as they began embracing one another on-stage.
Video from the awards ceremony shows the moment that Aubrey Plaza nearly received an elbow to the cheek when her co-star Meghann Fahy went to hug Michael Imperioli.
Another then pointed out that the actress ‘even exited the stage quick and alone rather than staying with the cast,’ while a third chimed in: ‘She looked like she haaaaated being up there and immediately ran off stage while everyone in the cast was congratulating and hugging each other.’
Thankfully, Aubrey Plaza’s frown turned upside down after the show when she was pictured in great spirits while posing for photos with several members of the cast.
The White Lotus took home two prestigious SAG Awards and Jennifer – who played Tanya on season 2 of the HBO series – got emotional during her speech.
First, Jennifer thanked the show’s creator, Mike White. She then thanked her parents for pushing her to pursue her dreams.
The HBO series won the ensemble award over Better Call Saul, The Crown, Ozark, and Severance.
