Gwen Stefani Slammed For ‘Inappropriate’ Behavior At Ceremony

Gwen Stefani’s appearance at a star-studded holiday event this week has left viewers talking—and not all of it was complimentary.

The No Doubt singer faced criticism for what some deemed “inappropriate” behavior during a family-friendly ceremony, and her solo attendance fueled speculation about her marriage to Blake Shelton.

A Solo Red Carpet Appearance Amid Marriage Rumors

The holiday season officially began at Rockefeller Center in New York City, with a towering 75-foot Norway spruce from East Greenbush, New York, taking center stage.

Each year, a tree is kindly donated for the legendary lighting ceremony, which broadcast on NBC on Wednesday, December 3, with performers from a variety of genres.

Gwen Stefani was among the performers, although she did not arrive with her husband, Blake Shelton.

The couple, who married in 2021 after dating for nearly five years, have been the subject of continuous reports that their marriage is having difficulties. Fans and journalists alike noticed Shelton’s absence, creating additional online discussion.

A Controversial Performance

Fans and viewers alike reacted strongly to Stefani’s change in style over the years, noting her transformation from ska-inspired looks to full-on glam.

While her music remains beloved, her performance of “Hot Cocoa” drew criticism. The song itself is a sweet, festive love tune, but her short pink dress prompted backlash on social media.

One viewer wrote that they could see her “c***h” through the mini-dress, while another called her “disgusting” for wearing what they considered an “inappropriate” outfit for a family-focused television special.

Mixed Reactions to Other Numbers

Stefani’s other performances didn’t escape scrutiny. After changing into a cotton-candy pink ensemble, social media erupted with opinions. Comments ranged from nostalgia to harsh critique:

“A 56 year old singing music for a 16 year olds, lip syncing and her gallon of makeup and facelifts. Pass the torch.”

“Ma’am, your microphone is not on.”

“I miss the old Gwen.”

“Accept your age and act accordingly. Disgraceful and pathetic. Imagine the amount of cosmetic surgery, botox, fillers etc that went into that Stepford wife looking robot?”

Despite the backlash, Gwen Stefani continued with her set, delivering multiple performances and keeping the holiday spirit alive for the millions tuning in. Still, her choice of attire and the absence of Blake Shelton dominated conversations long after the lights dimmed.
