Joel and Benji Madden storm out of Oz radio station after Spears’ underwear gag
Good Charlotte rockers Joel and Benji Madden stormed out of a Melbourne radio station after being shown a photo of Britney Spears without her underwear.
According to reports, Joel was shown the image of Spears alighting from a car sans underwear that earlier made headlines around the world during a game put on by two radio hosts on the Fox 101.9 breakfast show.
But the musician twins said they were under the weather from a night out and Joel later told a producer he was offended at being shown the image because he was a father.
“I think I’m a pretty laid back dude but you guys are getting on my nerves,” Joel, who has two children with partner Nicole Richie, told the hosts.
Vicky Heath of Fox 101.9 later said radio producers were forced to use the dump button to prevent the Maddens’ expletives going to air.
Joel left before Benji but his brother was quick to follow him.
He later tweeted: “Just walked out of a FOXfm interview in Melbourne not in the mood to be a clown.
“Most of the time I can put up with idiot morning show hosts but not today. I guess I have finally found some Aussies I don’t get on with.”
