…of epic proportions!!! This weekends Celebrity Apprentice showed us a very angry side of Meatloaf.
This episodes task was to create art to sell to raise money for the project managers charity. It started with them in the art store gathering supplies for their art….this is where Meat starts to lose his cool. Gary Busey simply asks Meat…are you buying the canvas’ for everyone. Meat translates this somehow as Gary having entitlement issues and almost half assuming half demanding Meat to buy Garys supplies. Now unless this was poor editing I did not hear this or even find it implied in tone.
Now cut to them at the gallery ready to create their art, wowzers this is where Meat loses it. He cannot find a bag of supplies and next thing you know he is screaming at Gary that Gary stole his supplies. Poor Gary looks clueless as he stands there are takes this awful verbal assault. But the more I watch the more I realize…Gary is not clueless at all…. but very smart to stay calm and cool and just let Meat blow.
Someone then finds the missing bag of supplies, and I am offended at how Meat blames Gary for the outburst…but then I was pleased when later after things had calmed and cooled Meat gave a very tender apology to Gary who very generously accepted.
Meatloaf said he has been to anger management...I think he needs a refresher course!
So I think…would I have stayed as calm as Gary while someone was screaming profanities and accusing me of theft? Would I then be so humble to later be able to accept an apology? Before seeing this, my answer most likely would be no and no….but now after watching this…I really hope that I could. Of course I hope to never be in such a position, but I really found it to be a fabulous learning experience.
