Inside the Tony Awards afterparties: Angelina Jolie serves McDonald’s, Billy Porter protests
NY Post
“No more Carlyle! No more Carlyle!,” shouted Billy Porter.
It’s not so often you witness a protest inside the ritzy Carlyle Hotel, but the “Kinky Boots” actor was furious.
“Everybody leave right the f—k now!,” he said.
The “Pose” star and a slew of others — including yours truly, Corey Cott (“The Heart of Rock and Roll”) and Casey Cott (“Riverdale”) — were getting kicked out of a suite on the 31st floor, where we were having a Tony Awards after-after-after party at 3 a.m. Monday morning, due to noise complaints.
“I don’t know who you are,” Porter said to two security guards who calmly demanded that only four people remain in the room that was occupied by more than 20. “But it’s wrong!”
Especially wrong was that the fridge was stocked with a case of Piper Heidsieck Rare Champagne that goes for $200 a bottle. Those poor bubbles went uncorked!
