“Tonight, George Lopez let down his fans and sold out the audience by walking out and ending his show 30 minutes early. George hired his own private security that could have easily escorted any hecklers out ,” the venue penned on Facebook following the incident.
“We had a pre-show meeting to have a plan in place for hecklers. He could have provided us any opportunity to allow our security and team to escort any hecklers out since his own private security did not,” they continued.
“George decided to not continue with the show and leave,” the casino claimed, noting how The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl star “rescheduled his initial show on 4/20 due to a medical emergency and we were very patient with him and only wished him the best.”
“Tonight we went above and beyond to provide George with first class service from his arrival to the property to the start of his show,” they added. “We never want to let our guests down and we are as disappointed and shocked as you are. Stay tuned Monday for an official announcement.”
