If you insult Pride Month, Adele won't go easy on you.
The "Hello" singer, 36, slammed an audience member who shouted "Pride sucks!" during a recent performance in her Las Vegas concert residency, according to a video shared Saturday on social media.
In the clip, Adele initially appeared taken aback after being interrupted by the heckler but grew angry after realizing what they had said.
"Did you come to my (expletive) show and just say that Pride sucks?" an incensed Adele asked. "Are you (expletive) stupid?"
The crowd erupted in cheers after the 16-time Grammy winner told this "ridiculous" concertgoer, "You've got nothing nice to say, shut up, all right?"

The incident came at the start of Pride Month, which Adele celebrated last year by wearing a rainbow flag dress for a concert. "I'll be celebrating it all month long," she told fans, later shouting during her show, "Happy Pride!" The previous year, Adele performed with a Pride flag in Hyde Park.

In 2016, Adele dedicated a concert to the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting and grew emotional as she said, "The LGBTQIA community, they're like my soulmates since I was really young."
Speaking to Out magazine in 2011, she recalled a teenager telling her she gave him the strength to come out.
"He fancied someone at school, but he wasn't out," Adele told the magazine. "And he listened to 'Someone Like You' and came out to his best friend and then to the boy he fancied, and it turned out that he was gay as well, and now they're together − he's like 15. I had to leave so I didn't burst into tears."
