A visibly emotional Megan Thee Stallion returned to the Broadway stage Saturday night, performing in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” just hours after publicly confirming her breakup with NBA star Klay Thompson.
The Grammy-winning rapper, who has been starring in the role of Harold Zidler since March, appeared to break down in tears during the production’s final curtain call as the audience offered a standing ovation. Earlier on Saturday, Megan Thee Stallion took to Instagram to announce the end of her relationship with Thompson.
In the now-deleted post, the rapper leveled serious allegations against the basketball player, citing “horrible mood swings” and infidelity as the primary reasons for the split. Fans in attendance at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre reported a heavy atmosphere during the evening performance. While the rapper maintained her professional composure throughout the energetic musical numbers, she was unable to hold back tears as her fellow cast members joined her on stage at the end of the night.
Despite her appearance at the evening show, the rapper was noticeably absent from the Saturday afternoon matinee. Reports from theatergoers indicated that standby actor Patrick Clanton took over the role of Zidler for the 2 p.m. performance.
Thompson has not yet released an official statement regarding the cheating allegations or the end of the relationship.
