The piece mocks an incident at Just in Time involving Isa Briones, who had been targeted with shouted references to her TV role in The Pitt.
Written as a fake defence, it calls the interruptions “immersive” rather than disruptive and jokes that the shouts were helpful audience feedback, not something requiring an apology.
The satire follows Briones' Instagram criticism of fans yelling “finish your charts” during performances, which she said was disrespectful to both performers and fellow audience members.
