THIS is the moment a concertgoer screamed at Ru Paul’s Drag Race fans who told her to sit down during a show.
Romain Esteban was attending the Drag Race UK Tour at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Friday night when the scene unfolded in front of him.
The 33-year-old watched on as the unidentified woman stood brazenly in front of other attendees, blocking their view, before proceeding to unleash a foul-tempered barrage at those behind her.
The video begins with the woman standing up and slowly waving her arms aloft during drag performer Danny Beard's time on stage, whilst the rest of the venue around her remain seated.
The on-screen text reads: "Drunk Karen makes the person in front of us cry and then starts attacking everyone around."
The woman appears to be trying to get the people next to her up and dancing too, while a woman dressed in blue looks to be reassuring those sitting behind her over her friend's actions.

Romain explained: "Somebody in the audience, a man in the row before us, politely asked 'Karen' to sit down.
"She then turned around and yelled at the first person she saw, the young lady two rows in front of us with blonde short hair and a sequined gold jacket.
"She gave her that dark look – you can see again later in the video – and called her names then flipped her off.
"Then she turned back to face the stage, and that’s when the person two rows in front of us started crying.

"The friend with the silver jacket tried to comfort her, the lady wearing the blue dress next to 'Karen' seemed to feel very sorry and tried to apologise for her, I think.
"After a minute 'Karen' turned again and this is where the video starts.
"Everyone around us started asking her to calm down and sit down for that one performance."
The video, posted to TikTok has divided opinions over who was in the right.
Romain said: "Seems like a lot of people in the comments are confused about why people behind her just didn’t stand as well, but everybody stayed seated.
"This show wasn’t a concert, more of a succession of different types of performances.
"She was blocking everyone’s view and honestly even if we stood up as well it was too difficult to see anything since unlike the rest of the venue this area is flat.
"The two young people wearing the gold and silver jackets left before the end of the show, unfortunately.
"I saw someone – I believe from the staff – talking to them, but I don’t have more information on what happened.
"Since I posted the video, someone who sat next to 'Karen' came forward and it seems she was attending the event with her sister, the lady with the flower dress, the one that 'Karen' tried to have standing at some point during the video.
"They didn’t know her at all and apparently were both trying to ignore her the entire show."
The video has since received over 50,000 likes and more than 3,000 comments from users left shocked at the woman's brazen rudeness to those around her.
One user wrote: “Who sits down though? Everyone should be up.”
A second said: "You can tell when people don't get out much."

Another replied: "Everyone is being far too polite. They should have all joined forces (even her companion who didn't look impressed) and got her out."
A fourth quipped: "She’d be wearing my drink."
