Britain’s Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle has supposedly suffered a “meltdown” after being pestered at a UK hotel.
According to reports, Boyle lost her temper after being goaded by two people (possibly journalists) who weren’t fans outside the Wembley Plaza Hotel. She is alleged to have responded by saying “How f^&king dare you! You can’t f#$king talk to me like that” and later ended up in a “heated” discussion with police officers who were called to the scene.
Later, Boyle is said to have became angry when judge Piers Morgan told 12-year-old contestant Shaheen Jafargholi that his was “the best singing performance we have heard in the semi-finals so far” while watching the show in the hotel bar. Boyle apparently stuck two fingers up at the television, and shouted f%&k off before departing to her room.
Morgan confirmed that Boyle was under pressure, and asked that people give her a bit of space.
We’ve used the word supposedly to describe the incidents not because we believe the incidents to be untrue, but instead the idea of there being a “meltdown” is grossly exaggerated. So she told someone to f&^k off who was being cruel to her, that’s annoyance, not a meltdown. A meltdown would have had her quit the show, or checked into hospital. It’s difficult to imagine what the pressure on Boyle must be like, pressure that would be difficult for most people, let alone some one with Boyle’s background. She let it get the better of her briefly, but there’s no meltdown yet.
