The Masked Singer judges Robin Thicke and Ken Jeong walked offstage after it was revealed that Rudy Giuliani was taking part in the US version of the show.According to Deadline, Giuliani was unmasked during the taping for the first episode of The Masked Singer‘s seventh season, with Thicke and Jeong leaving the stage in protest.Fellow judges Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger reportedly stayed behind and “bantered” with the lawyer and former New York mayor.
The theme of The Masked Singer‘s new season is “The Good, The Bad and The Cuddly” while the episode featuring Giuliani will air in March.Giuliani has become a controversial figure after making baseless claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from his client, Donald Trump.
He also faced backlash for selling signed 9/11 T-shirts for $911 (£672) on the website of WABC Radio, where the 77-year-old politician regularly hosts a programme.The real takeaway is that Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger both stayed to have a kiki with Rudy.
