14 Celebrities Who Perfectly Handled Being Booed By Audiences

Politicians expected to get booed at big events; consider the treatment Ted Cruz received at a New York Yankees playoff game. We are reminded that the capacity to tolerate public hostility is a requirement of fame by the treatment given to people like Sarah Palin and Donald Trump when they visit these events.

However, they aren’t the only ones that receive mistreatment from the public. Celebrities and public figures have been the target of genuine criticism from spectators at various events. Depending on their experience and charisma, different celebrities will react differently. These celebrities booed by audiences and handled it well.

We all know that one of the most nerve-wracking experiences you may have is performing or presenting in front of a crowd. Most likely, you're concerned about making a mistake or what other people will think of you. The response of the crowd, as well as how you respond to it, can influence your profession when you depend on it to support yourself.

But as we stated earlier, celebrities already have experience handling the crowd. This makes it much easier for them to think of a comeback or a witty comment whenever they receive boos from the audience.

Today, we list 14 celebs who were booed by the audience, but they handled them with grace. These Celebrities Dealing With Booed Audiences might be found here.

When she claimed that after coming to the US as a child from Ukraine, she first tasted pizza in LA rather than New York City, the audience booed her once again.

She cut her presentation short as more bottles came flying at her.

You can't be sure. But I can't please everyone."

She went on, "Things were going great and I had a No. 1 record, and then all of a sudden, SNL happened, and bang! You have to deal with how nasty people can be, with their criticism and other things. But all of this has taught me a lot about who I am. I feel as though I will never be perfect because I am not perfect. I'm only 20 and a new artist, so I have room to develop. I also anticipate continuing to make good music without paying attention to what one person says."

#12 While winning the Milestone Award at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, Justin Bieber received jeers from the audience. He informed the audience onstage, "I am a 19-year-old. I believe my performance is good. And basically, I want to say from the bottom of my heart that it ought to be about the music. This shouldn't be a gimmick; it should be about the craft that I'm producing."

We are aware that this was a popular vote award, therefore we sincerely appreciate everyone who participated. It means a great deal to us."

Says Liam Payne "Thank you so much for all that you have done for us over the past three years; we can't believe what you have done. The Moonman caps it all off, and our movie [This Is Us] comes out the following weekend. This one is for all of you. All of you are greatly appreciated."

According to reports, Lady Gaga reassured the band backstage that they "I just want to tell you that you deserve every bit of success that you have." and comforted them.

#14 Finally, when Kevin Hart did stand up at a crab festival, the audience's response was worse than booing. He cracked a joke, and the audience fell quiet. One lady remarked, "No, infant. No. Just give it up, baby," followed by the cries of "Let us eat our crabs!" from the crowd." Kevin attempted to defend himself at the moment, but he subsequently used the incident to create a funny narrative for Oprah's Master Class.
