Shirley Manson of Garbage had no tolerance for Grinches at the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas concert over the weekend at the Kia Forum. The 57-year-old wasted no time bringing the band’s set to an abrupt halt when she noticed some scuffling in the crowd.

"Turn this s*** off right the f*** now," she demanded of her band and the sound engineers as they were mid-song after she noticed some fans misbehaving. "What the f*** is wrong with you? F*** this s***. I don't know ladies, I don't know what the f***ing story is; quite frankly, I don't care," she scolded. "There's enough f***ing bulls*** in this world."
She then demanded security’s presence sharing she didn’t want anyone to get hurt. “Security, I'd like you to get your f***ing asses in there and find out what the f*** is going on," she ordered. "I don't want anyone to get hurt… Let's f***ing sort it out."
It didn’t stop there. The crowd cheered, showing their appreciation for Manson’s zero-tolerance policy, and she had no problems continuing to rip the troublemakers apart with an R-rated talking to.
"This is f***ing bulls***. Do we not have enough f***ing s*** going on in the world without some f***ing a**hole in a f***ing Christmas party? F*** this,” she boldly expressed. “We've got 30 minutes on this stage and you're f***ing eating into our time, so f***ing get it sorted. I don't have the f***ing patience for this s***.”
On Monday morning, The Klein/Ally Show got a call from one of the women involved in the scuffle, claiming it was a "drunk girl" making her way through the crowd that caused the disturbance, pushing the caller and her girlfriend. "I didn't mean to interrupt the show," she explained. "I'm a huge Garbage fan and I was really pissed that that happened. Everyone in the audience was so chill."
