Madonna Banned from NYC Movie Theaters [VIDEO]: '12 Years a Slave' Premiere Ruined by 'Material Girl' Songstress Texting, Calls Audience Member 'Enslaver'

Using your phone in anyway during the viewing of a film at a movie theater is easily one of the worst things you could do. Many theaters have banned the act with sever punishments for violators. So when pop icon Madonna spent most of the 12 Years a Slave premiere texting on her phone during the New York Film Festival, it was no surprise that the action got her banned from the theater chain.

Thanks to the following Facebook post from a 12 Years a Slave audience member, we get a firsthand account of Madonna's texting rudeness.

"Tonight at the New York Film Festival premiere of '12 Years A Slave' (a masterpiece, by the way), I sat behind the unholy trifecta of Jason Ritter, J. Alexander from 'America's Next Top Model,' and Michael K. Williams from 'The Wire.' Plus, a mysterious blonde in black lace gloves who wouldn't stop texting on her Blackberry throughout the first half of the movie. Eventually, a woman next to me tapped her on the shoulder and told her to put her phone away, and the blonde hissed back, 'It's for business... ENSLAVER!' I turned to the shoulder tapper and loudly said, 'THANKS!' and gave her a thumbs up. The rest of the movie, I kept thinking about how I wanted to tell the blonde what a disgrace she was. During the standing ovation, the blonde ducked out and Jason Ritter turned around to make commiserating eye contact, as J. Alexander asked, 'Who WAS that?!' Jason then looked down at the floor. His eyes got wide, and he picked up an envelope and showed it to us and J. And it said: '2 screening tix MADONNA.' And sure enough, we looked to the side of the theater and standing against the wall in black lace gloves was Madonna. The worst person in America." 

Calling someone an "enslaver" during this film screening was maybe not a great idea, Madonna!

After this story made its way into headlines, Alamo Drafthouse (the movie theater chain that owns the multiplex where this "crime" went down) CEO Tim League posted a tweet on his Twitter account announcing that the "Vogue" songstress was banned from the company's theaters. Though he later said the tweet was meant as a joke, he has decided to stand by this ban. Sorry, Madge.
