The incident occurred after an audience member called out Drew’s name, to which she paused her sentence and replied, “Oh my god, yes, hi!”
Then, a few moments later, Charlie’s Angeleswas once again interrupted when the attendee approached the stage and recited his full name.
“You know who I am,” he continued, as Reneé stood up and began to escort Drew away from the situation while security stepped in to block the man. I need to meet you while you are in New York.
Another audience member—who was in attendance when the situation arose—has since shared her experience with E! News.
JournalistMcKenzie Morrellexplained, “The audience was pretty distraught as we weren’t sure what had happened and what this man’s intentions were.”
Once the men had been escorted away, the women got back into the game.
“Within a few minutes of his removal, both Reneé and Drew returned to the stage, greeting us warmly despite the jarring incident,” Mackenzie recalled. “They picked right up where they left off and continued to have an in-depth (and often hilarious) conversation about life, the industry and Reneé’s new music.”
The man was arrested two days later but only after being detained outside Drew Southampton’s home in New York. The police are currently investigating this incident.
