Madonna has been raked over the coals by Broadway star Anthony Ramos, who decried her behavior in the audience of Hamilton years ago.
Anthony was part of the original 2015 Broadway cast of the musical, where he portrayed two characters, including Philip, the son of Alexander Hamilton, who meets a tragic end in a duel.
Despite leaving audience members in tears with his death scene each night, the performance evidently failed to completely capture the interest of the Material Girl.
The Queen of Pop allegedly sat in the crowd on her tablet throughout the performance, Anthony said on Watch What Happens Live!.
When host Andy Cohen asked: ‘Who was the most terrifying celebrity to spot in the audience during your Hamilton days?’ Anthony did not hold back.
‘The most terrifying was Madonna with her iPad in her face. She was like this the whole time,’ he said, mimicking her staring down at her device.

‘I was like: “Damn, shorty,” I’m like: “If you not enjoying it that much, you know the door’s right there. You ain’t gotta stay here,”‘ he joked.
Anthony is not the first actor from the Hamilton ensemble to bring up the rumored Madonna incident, which gained widespread attention in 2015, the year the musical debuted on Broadway.
Lin-Manuel Miranda – who not only starred as Alexander Hamilton but also wrote the book, music and lyrics of the show – appeared to tweet about Madonna back then.
‘Tonight was the first time I asked stage management NOT to allow a celebrity (who was texting all through Act 2) backstage. #noselfieforyou,’ he wrote.
Although he never mentioned her by name and deleted the post from his Twitter account, rumors quickly circulated that Madonna was the celebrity in question.
The conjecture became so widespread that her publicist repudiated it, saying: ‘It’s not true. She was invited backstage four different times,’ via Us Weekly.
‘She texted post show when they were doing their fundraising pitch. Madonna had already made a generous donation,’ said the spokeswoman.
However Jonathan Groff, who played King George III, openly declared that Madonna was not invited backstage ‘because that b**** was on her phone.’

The Spring Awakening star insisted: ‘You couldn’t miss it from the stage. It was a black void of the audience in front of us and her face there perfectly lit by the light of her iPhone through three-quarters of the show,’ per Dot429.
Madonna’s alleged Hamilton faux pas came two years after she was banned by the Alamo Drafthouse movie theater chain over claims that she texted through a premiere screening of the Oscar-winning drama 12 Years a Slave.
When another audience member at the screening asked her to put her phone away, she was said to have retorted: ‘It’s for business…enslaver!’ according to Page Six.
The Like a Virgin hitmaker herself has a long history with the New York stage, having acted on Broadway in the David Mamet play Speed-the-Plow in 1988.
She also famously played the polarizing Argentine first lady Eva Peron in the 1996 movie adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical Evita.
Her performance was memorably excoriated by Patti LuPone, who won a Tony for the role of Eva in the original Broadway cast of the stage show.
‘Madonna is a movie killer,’ said Patti. ‘She’s dead behind the eyes. She cannot act her way out of a paper bag. She should not be in film or onstage.’
She allowed that Madonna was ‘a wonderful performer for what she does,’ but maintained she was ‘not an actress,’ on Watch What Happens Live!.
