American actress Aubrey Plaza raised several eyebrows, virtually, after a video of her angrily talking to herself during the 2023 SAG Awards went viral online.
On February 26, 2023, the cast of White Lotus gathered on stage to accept the award for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series. While F. Murray Abraham was delivering their acceptance speech, the 38-year-old star could be seen standing next to Theo James, Meghann Fahy, and Will Sharpe.
At this point, Jon Gries, who played the role of Greg in White Lotus, could be seen whispering something in her ear, which seemed to be about a wardrobe malfunction. This prompted her to adjust her dress.
After the 83-year-old actor finished his speech, he shouted, "Union forever," and the cast congratulated each other. Meanwhile, Plaza stood there staring at everyone as she seemed to mouth:
"Sh*t's f***ed"

After Plaza mouthed the words "Sh*t's f***ed" onstage, she immediately ran off without hugging or congratulating anyone from White Lotus' cast.
When netizens noticed Plaza's erratic behavior, they took to Twitter to point it out. While several users expressed their shock at seeing the star not looking as thrilled as her co-stars, others mentioned how she rushed off the stage.
One user even pointed out that Plaza was wearing shades on stage before removing them, and looked "agitated" the whole time.
