Rosamund Pike's unsavoury, belittling outburst was public humiliation: FRED KELLY

Published: 11:24, 3 June 2026 | Updated: 11:26, 3 June 2026 The customer is always right. Whether you’re a butcher selling chops and chicken or an actor performing in the West End, it’s a basic point of decency not to criticise the paying clients. Which is why I found actress Rosamund Pike’s outburst the other night, following a performance of Inter Alia at the Wyndham’s Theatre, to be more than a little unsavoury. It felt to me like she was punching down as she berated the individual she accused of using a phone during the performance. Could she really not have asked an usher to have a quiet word instead of staging a public humiliation?  Watch the video above to find out my take.  No comments have so far been submitted.
