Who knew that swearing could land you in the slammer? Macy Gray has gotten herself in trouble with shocked Barbados fans — and the law — by dropping the "F-bomb" at a Wednesday night concert. She nearly got hauled off to prison!
The "I Try" singer, who ignored the warnings of her manager, went into a comical swearing tirade about her ex-boyfriends, repeating the word "mother-" at a concert at the Barbados Jazz Festival. After Gray repeated it about a dozen times, concert-goers knew that the mishap was no slip of the tongue! The room then grew silent and Gray later missed her scheduled meet-and-greet event due to a meeting with law enforcement authorities, who take Barbados's public profanity ban very seriously.
A fan waiting to meet the singer was disappointed at what she thought was "diva-like" behavior after Gray failed to show up after the show.
Luckily, Gray was spared the handcuffs, lockdown and fine after agreeing to make a public apology.
"I am so sorry for what happened, and I truly apologize. My manager told me about this law, but I didn't take him seriously," she said.
