According to PopEater, two Australian radio hosts pushed Joel Madden to his limit today and he walked out of an interview. He took to his Twitter account to vent about it:
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 aussie’s I don’t get on with…”
Joel is in Australia with his band, Good Charlotte. The hosts were testing Joel & Benji on their “twin abilities”. They put a mask on Benji and then handed Joel the infamous photo of Britney Spears getting out of a car without underwear on. Benji guessed that Joel was annoyed and Joel told the hosts:
“I think I’m pretty laid back dude, but you guys are getting on my nerves.”
The hosts tried to apologize and move on to another twin challenge but Joel just stated “we’re outta here” and left.
He was obviously in no mood for those kinds of “games” today. Really, how was he supposed to respond to being handed that picture? I don’t blame him for being annoyed.

Good for him – it’s nice to see how much good him and Nicole do, considering where they’ve been and where they could be.
I’m no fan of Joel’s, but I would have walked out too. No one likes to be made a fool of.
As much as i love the fox, i listen to them every morning, i think that they were out of line. It wasn’t even about the brit photo! that just happened to be the last straw. Jo was insinuating to joel that he and nicole were selling photos of harlow and sparrow just to make money and questioning the reasons behind being away from their kids “getting drunk with his brother for 3 weeks” I think they were dignified in their actions and if i were in the same position i would have walked out sooner! they’re here to work not to put up with bullshit insinuations. good on you boys!
ha ha people can’t take jokes…..what a wussy.
God just cause he had a big night out getting drunk and wasn’t up 2 having a morning interview! There was so need 2 ack like he did. I bet most people who think he’s cool for walking out have NEVER listened to the interview!!! he comes off as an IDIOT!!
Most morning shows are pretty childish. But he should have known what he was getting into beforehand surely? and funny how most of the commentors above bitching about Joel seem to be austrailians.
I would have done the same thing.
good for him. he doesn’t have to and need to take it. why be there if he was just going to be mad during the time he was there.
Yeah, that’s not a cool thing to do.
The more I read about this guy, the more I like him. He had every right to walk out of that interview!
I just went on another news source. It said that Joel told the producers off air that he was offended about being shown the photo because he’s a dad.
Well..what a great dad..using the lanuage he did on live radio while we dropped our children off at school how dare he.Everyone has seen that stupid pic..harden up.Celebs are just jumping on the bandwagon after Downey Jnr spat it.
Good for him! I think he sounds like a decent guy.
I heard it live,he was overreacting..no humour.Swore on radio while young children listened,NOT COOL.FAIL.
But you think using photos of celebs with no undies on for subject matter is ok while young children are listening then?
Oooo look at me – I am big bad Joel because I married some other “celebrity” who is known for being a drug addict. I am soooo bad ass and too good for everything. LOL pathetic!
Go Madden!!
What? Like he wouldn’t have seen that photo before? Get over yourself Joel and stop creating drama so you get your name in the news….
