Lea Salonga Speaks Out on Fan Behavior and Reminds Us Why She's a Legend
The next time someone invades your space, just quote Lea Salonga: “Who are you? I’m sorry, I don’t know who you are.”
As documented in a now-viral video, fans barged into Lea Salonga’s dressing room after seeing her Broadway show Here Lies Love. Suffice it to say, the Tony Award winner was not amused by strangers invading her personal space. The video, which has garnered millions of views, showed Salonga’s fans showing up at Lea’s dressing room uninvited, prompting the Here Lies Love performer to politely direct them away from the backstage area. Despite the fans’ rude behavior, most agree that Salonga handled the invasion of privacy with grace. We have a whole guide on how to not be an entitled, embarrassing fan, but Ms. Salonga herself took to Twitter to remind people to respect boundaries.
And her tweets were just the right balance of shade and decorum.
Boundaries are there for a reason.
Word to the wise, if you’re going to namedrop someone, make sure they know who the hell you are.
At least the production of Here Lies Love knows what boundaries are.
Clearly, Salonga values her privacy over fame.
A friendly reminder that buying a ticket doesn’t mean you bought the performer. Let that sink in.
We can’t wait for when Salonga drops all the tea.
Because we might get even more epic lines like this.
And this.
Let it be known. Salonga takes shit from no one. Not even fans.
