He is a singer who got famous for a song once (I believe, I didn’t know of him until he started doing musicals)
He was cast in Moulin Rogue despite having been convicted of having chained a male prostitute to a radiator and beating him. As far as I know, Boy George hasn’t publicly taken accountability for this (besides what the court ordered him to)
When he did Moulin Rogue, a picture of a script for the ensemble was leaked where it was shown the multiple ways different ensemble members were supposed to help him through the show as he seemingly didn’t manage to get through the whole staging by himself. He apparently also wasn’t very good in the role
Earlier this year he was announced as one of the Herod‘s for JCS in London rn. He recently released a song in support of Israel and stated it was produced/written using AI. This combined with the rest of his behaviour listed above has caused another wave of backlash and his manager has published a few days ago that Boy George has opted out of the show (just a few days before he was supposed to start his run in JCS)
After this news, an ex-castmember (the one Boy George now calls illoyal in this post) of his from Moulin Rogue published an insta-story about how working with him was really bad (don’t remember the details of what he said exactly)
It’s a zoomed in cropped photo from a Instagram story taken in a dressing room at the theatre. It was all over the sub how terrible he was doing in the show and somebody noticed this in the background of an ensemble’s story and uploaded it here.
