Harry Styles Was Rudely Pelted With A Chicken Nugget While On Stage In NYC
This is the second chicken nugget attack on a One Direction alumnus this year.
Sorry to alarm you, but someone has reportedly thrown a chicken nugget at Harry Styles.
We can only condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms. Not even Harry Styles, should endure having to have a chicken nugget thrown on them in any circumstances, let alone while they are performing on stage at Madison Square Garden in NYC.
The ‘As It Was’ singer was performing at the venue on Saturday night as part of his ‘Live On Tour’ residency when the rogue nugget was thrown on stage. While there doesn’t seem to be any footage of the nugget mid-flight; video abounds of a bemused Style picking up and reflecting on the nugget.
“Interesting, very interesting approach,” Styles riffs. He then holds the nugget up high what we assume is some kind of British victory gesture. As fans goad him on to eat the little wad, Styles responds: “I don’t eat chicken, sorry. I don’t eat meat,” to which the crowd responds with raucous applause.

Yes, according to Vogue, Styles has been a pescatarian since 2017. Isn’t fish still meat, by the way? Never mind.
The point is that the person who threw the nugget at Styles is by all accounts still at large, and that, my friends, is a disgrace.
This isn’t the first time a former One Direction member was pelted with a fried treat. In February this year, Louis Tomlinson also endured a nugget attack, to which he replied: “Who’s hit me in the head with a fookin’ chicken nugget?” before the audibly frustrated 30-year-old shouted “have it back!” and hurled it back at the crowd.
It’s unclear whether chicken nuggets will become a regular fixture of shows performed by One Direction alumni going forward.
