Offended Adele Showed Producers Middle Finger at Brits 2012

Adele was right in the middle of giving an emotional acceptance speech about how she was proud to be flying the flag for Britain. So when she was interrupted so Brit Awards host James Corden could introduce Blur, Adele didn’t take too kindly. The singer, who had won the top award of the night, Album of the Year, flipped the middle finger to show just how annoyed she was.

Adele, who earlier performed a stunning rendition of Rolling In The Deep, said afterwards it was ‘to all the suits’ of the show. The 23-year-old was on stage accepting her second award of the night – after taking home Best Female Artist – presented by George Michael. She said:

Thank you so much, thank you, thank you very, very much. Nothing beats coming home with six Grammys and then coming to the Brits and winning album of the year. I’m so proud to be flying the British flag for all of you.”

James then appeared on stage, met by boos from the crowd, and said:

I’m so sorry, can I just cut off?”

Adele said:

Are you about to cut me off? Can I just say then, goodbye and I’ll see you next time round.”

Then Adele showed her middle finger!

Later the 23-year-old singer told the BBC of the instance that was live broadcast:

I flung the middle finger. That was for the suits at the Brit Awards, not my fans. I’m sorry if I offended anyone but the suits offended me.”

   I’d be just as offended if someone cut me off when I was trying to say something important. That was very rude of them, but I think Adele shouldn’t have expressed her anger through obscene gestures.
