Comedian who furiously hit out at heckler breaks her silence on viral 'meltdown'

A comedian who furiously hit out at heckler has broken her silence about her viral 'meltdown.'. Natalie Cuomo, who was performing at the DC Comedy Loft in Washington, D.C., screamed at the man to 'f**king look me in the eyes' and accused him of 'putting negative energy out there' after he offered to 'roast' her earlier this month.

Posting a video of the incident on TikTok, the 30-year-old comedian captioned it: 'Right after I said how grateful I was for everyone being there and selling out the show, this little man in the front row decided to let his true colors shine. 'Always stand up for yourself!! And if you're going to be rude, at least have the decency to LOOK ME IN THE EYES,' she added.

The video began with Natalie conversing with the man in question as she said: 'Wait, what made you want to ask him?'. The man replied and asked, 'Why are you making it sound like we're a couple?' to which Natalie responded: 'Oh my God, don't be scared.'.

He then fired back: 'It's not my fault you don't have material,' which appeared to leave Natalie a little lost for words. 'Wow... it's not that... wow, look at you. I could leave right now,' she told him as he then said: 'I can roast you too. You can't just roast all of us and get nothing.'.

Natalie Cuomo, who was performing at the DC Comedy Loft in Washington, D.C., screamed at the man to 'f**king look me in the eyes' and accused him of 'putting negative energy out there' after he offered to 'roast' her earlier this month. As the audience reacted, Natalie nodded her head and suggested: 'Hmm I see, so you were afraid because you felt like I was saying you're gay...'.

The man then offered: 'I can take the mic,' but Natalie was having none of it. 'I will say this, it's such a hard time in this world right now,' she said. 'There's so many people that came together to be supportive and f**king amazing, and you're putting negative...' she trialed off, before kneeling down and starting to shout.

'No! Look me in the eyes!' she shouted at him. 'You're putting negative f**king energy out here! This is the last show of my f**king... look me in the f**king eyes... look at me!'. She continued ranting: 'This is the last show of my f**king weekend, it's a sold out show and you wanna say mean s**t to me, okay, so don't f**king do that!'.

The audience quickly applauded Natalie and started chanting her name as she took a sip of water before she told the man: 'You can leave.'. Moments later, following the man's departure from the venue, Natalie announced to the crowd, 'this man is texting his friend, it's so cute,' before she added: 'You can leave too, I won't be offended.'.

But the comedian has since faced a slew of criticism online and shared another clip to address the confrontation, branding it a 'meltdown'. The friend then handed Natalie his phone so that she could read out the text messages that had been sent by the now-absent heckler.

As she jumped up and down, Natalie began to read them out: 'Lol, what a f**king clown, I did warn you I would get kicked out. Man, she is sensitive, especially for a comedian.'. She then decided to use the phone's camera to take a selfie of herself giving the middle finger, and no doubt sent it to the heckler as the crowd cheered her once more.

But the comedian has since faced a slew of criticism online and shared another clip to address the confrontation, branding it a 'meltdown.'. 'Did anyone see me have a meltdown recently online?' she starts as the audience laughs. 'So don't f**k with me,' she goes on, before pleading, 'Actually, please don't f**k with me' while clutching the microphone.

To add some humor to the situation she added, 'Yeah, I actually have the same agent as Kanye and they only dropped one of us so…'. She let the audience laugh as she held a cheeky smile on stage in front of a long velvet red curtain. In the same video, but on a different day, she addressed the incident again.

'It's just so ironic that I went viral for saying "look me in the eyes" when my husband is autistic,' she humors. Despite her comedic take on the 'meltdown,' she also opened up by saying, 'I'm getting death threats, all these guys are saying they want to finish me.'.
