Patti LaBelle Was Rushed Offstage After A Bomb Threat At Her Show In Milwaukee
Now more than ever, we must protect our cultural icons at all costs! So I need to know the names of every security officer at Patti LaBelle‘s recent show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, because they all need Congressional Medals of Honor. On Saturday night, Patti was enjoying an evening of kicking off shoes and shouting toward the heavens during her show at the Riverside Theater. But as someone was literally giving her flowers, security bum-rushed the stage like a Wu-Tang concert and whisked Patti away from the threat of imminent danger.
According to TMZ, the show was at an intermission while Patti was talking to the audience. I’m sure this was the time she set aside to discuss recipes and call everyone “honey” because you know Miss Patti is for the people! And in that respect, we love her just as much so when a bomb threat was phoned into the theater; security wasted no time grabbing her and rushing her offstage like she had become the new Rachel Marron in an impromptu reboot of The Bodyguard.

I feel sorry for whoever brought her those flowers because security tossed them to the side quicker than a used tissue. And also, I’m not sure what the hell is wrong with those people, but if I would have seen them escorting Patti away, then I, too, would have been escorting myself to the nearest exit. But thankfully, security didn’t just save Patti and leave everyone else behind to Google, “How do you disarm a bomb?“.
The confused audience was immediately evacuated after that moment of panic, and the venue eventually pulled the plug on Patti’s show. Officially, it was postponed and will be rescheduled.
Cops say everyone was evacuated safely, and they’re investigating the source of the bomb threat.
And since Patti knows just how crazy that scene must have looked to her fans, she posted a video to let everyone know she’s all right and nobody was harmed.
For everyone who saw that earlier video of Patti LaBelle being chased off the stage by a bomb threat, she’s just released a video statement via her drummer that all is well.

Whoever attempted this madness needs to be thrown in jail immediately! But you know what, I think I know who it was. Maybe during her intermission, someone asked for her Patti Pies recipe, and just as she was beginning to tell them, security got a text from Walmart that read, “STOP HER!!!” At least, that’s the only explanation I can come up with that makes sense.
