“Thank you, good energy to start off,” Medrano said at one point, after the person interrupted her to shout something unintelligible.
The fourth interruption, however, sent Rogers into a rage: “You need to shut the f— up right now. I’m going to jump over this fence and end you. It’s not cute,” Rogers said.
When it happened yet again, Rogers stood up from his seat and approached the audience from the stage.
“You need to get the f— out right now or I will make you leave,” he said into the microphone, before turning his attention to the NYCC staff.
“Isn’t there someone in a vest? Bulletproof one, maybe?” he said as he walked back to his chair.
