Megan Thee Stallion has been hospitalized after falling ill midway through her Broadway performance in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical.”

“During Tuesday night’s production, Megan started feeling very ill and was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her symptoms are currently being evaluated,” her representative told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. “We will share additional updates as more information becomes available.”

The Grammy Award-winning rapper, who portrays The Zidler, made her debut in the show on March 24 at New York’s Al Hirschfeld Theater.

Media personality Loren Lorosa, who was in the audience on Tuesday, gave her followers a play-by-play of the situation on X. 

“Came to see Meg The stallion on broadway and that was short lived,” she wrote. “The few opening scenes I saw her in she was great on stage! I was excited BUT… They just stopped moulin rouge mid show apologized to the audience and said ..’stay inside and seated.'”

“I asked security if we’re safe .. they told us ‘for now, we’ll update you if anything changes,’” she added.

Megan is set to appear as The Zidler for an eight-week run through May 17.

According to Playbill, Megan is making history as the first female performer to play the role, not only in the Broadway production but in any “Moulin Rouge!” production worldwide.

“Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the ‘Moulin Rouge! The Musical’ team is an absolute honor,” Megan said in a statement in February. “I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively, and theater is definitely a new opportunity that I’m excited to embrace.”

“Broadway demands a different level of discipline, preparation and storytelling, but I’m up for the challenge and can’t wait for the Hotties to see a new side of me,” she added. 

“Welcoming Megan Thee Stallion into the ‘Moulin Rouge! The Musical’ community is a thrilling moment for us,” added producer Carmen Pavlovic. “Megan is a true global superstar. She is one of the most influential artists of her generation and her impact on music and culture is undeniable.”

“This historic casting is a major part of our closing celebrations: our farewell gift to Broadway audiences and one of our biggest announcements in the history of ‘Moulin Rouge! The Musical.’ We want our show to go out with a spectacular bang, and Megan is the force of nature to lead us there,” he added. “And yes, there will be a hint of music from her own iconic catalogue. It’s an unmissable moment for both Megan’s fans and ours.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Tuesday that the U.S. may need to “reexamine” its role in NATO after key allies refused to allow American forces to use bases and airspace during Operation Epic Fury.

“If now we have reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can’t use those bases, that, in fact, that we can no longer use those bases to defend America’s interests, then NATO is a one-way street. Then NATO is simply about us having troops in Europe to defend Europe,” Rubio said on “Hannity.”

He continued, “But… when we need them to allow us to use their military bases, their answer is no? Then why are we in NATO? You have to ask that question.”

Rubio pressed the point, telling Fox News that there is “no doubt” that the U.S. must “reexamine” its relationship with the alliance once the Iran conflict has concluded, but deferred to President Trump’s ultimate decision-making authority on the matter.

“We’re going to finish the job here [in Iran],” Rubio added.

“We’re very, very close to achieving our objectives on all of these things that I’ve outlined, but I do think, unfortunately, we are going to have to reexamine whether or not this alliance that has served this country well for a while, [whether it’s] still serving that purpose, or has it now become a one-way street where America is simply in a position to defend Europe? But when we need the help of our allies, they’re going to deny us basing rights, and they’re going to deny us overflight.”

SANDERS-ENDORSED SENATE CANDIDATE KNOCKED FOR ALLEGED FLIP-FLOP TO ‘HAVE IT BOTH WAYS’ ON KEY ISSUE

Rubio’s remarks come amid growing frustration within the Trump administration over what officials see as European allies failing to support U.S. military operations at a critical moment, particularly as Washington moves to dismantle Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities.

The Secretary of State emphasized that the U.S. was not asking NATO partners to participate directly in combat, but simply to provide access to existing infrastructure — a longstanding pillar of the alliance.

The tensions stem in part from decisions by several European allies that have entered the administration’s crosshairs — including Spain and France — after restricting or denying U.S. access to key bases and airspace during the early phases of the operation.

Spain, for instance, closed its airspace to U.S. planes involved in the Iran war, while President Trump has slammed France because the country “wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory,” adding in a Truth Social post that the longtime ally has been “VERY UNHELPFUL.”

A progressive House candidate backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is under fire for dodging in-person debates with her GOP opponent ahead of an April special election, prompting accusations that she is reluctant to defend her far-left platform before voters.

Republican candidate Joe Hathaway is ripping his Democratic opponent, Analilia Mejia, for agreeing to a virtual debate — after repeatedly declining a series of face-to-face opportunities. The candidates are scheduled to participate in a live virtual forum sponsored by the New Jersey Globe on Wednesday evening. 

“Unfortunately, when my opponent dodges and lies about debates, it limits the opportunity for a head-to-head matchup with two weeks left in the election,” Hathaway said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “For now, she can hide behind a screen, but she cannot hide from her record.”

The special election winner will fill an open seat vacated by Gov. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., who resigned after winning the state’s 2025 governor’s race. The outcome will be closely watched for its potential impact on House Republicans’ razor-thin majority.

WHERE SANDERS AND AOC BACKED PROGRESSIVE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE ANALILIA MEJIA STANDS ON KEY ISSUES

Hathaway’s blistering criticism comes after Mejia repeatedly declined debate opportunities with Hathaway that he accepted, the Hathaway campaign told Fox News Digital. 

Proposed debates sponsored by Montclair High School, On New Jersey, Fairleigh Dickinson University and New Jersey Spotlight News ultimately fell through after Mejia did not accept the invites, according to the Hathaway campaign.

Mejia, who narrowly upset a crowded field of challengers in February’s Democratic primary, has also faced backlash for appearing to misrepresent her rationale for backing out of a separate debate opportunity with local chapters of the left-leaning League of Women Voters. 

The New Jersey Democrat said she rejected the debate invite — co-sponsored by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Jersey — because the group was “unable to commit” to having a person of color as the moderator.

The woman-led group fired back in a statement accusing Mejia of lying, saying their intended moderator would have been a person of color. Mejia’s primary objection was not being able to control the selection process herself, according to the group.

“We were asked to provide a campaign with a list of potential moderators for approval,” Jennifer Howard, LWV president, said in a release. “This is a request that the League of Women Voters cannot accommodate. Our nonpartisan stance does not permit a candidate to influence the selection of the moderator.”

Hathaway, a Randolph Township councilmember who faces an uphill battle to win the Democratic-leaning district, slammed Mejia for backing out of the planned debate.

“If she is willing to lie about something as simple as a debate, what other lies can we expect to hear from her tomorrow?” Hathaway told Fox News Digital.

“We will show a clear contrast between the practical common-sense leadership that I am running on, and the dangerous, radical, and socialist policies of my opponent,” he added.

When asked to comment on Monday, a spokesperson for the Mejia campaign said, “All Joe Hathaway does is complain. We will see him tomorrow.”

The Mejia campaign previously told Fox News Digital that she accepted the New Jersey Globe debate because the outlet met her diversity requirements and was closely following the race.

Mejia, a staunch progressive who served in a senior role in Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, has called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is a vocal critic of Israel. 

The winner of the special election will face voters again in November for a full two-year term.
