The scene was tense Tuesday night on a live episode of American Idol as Ryan abandoned the stage and came face to face with Simon Cowell at the judges table. The heated moment came after Simon delivered a typically snarky remark regarding feedback of Michael Lynche's performance (watch the video above).
Even the morning after the incident, the web community was still reveling in the drama with hilarious tweets in support of Ryan's scolding of Simon:
@JohnRayWork: @RyanSeacrest thought you were going to open a can of WhoopAss Soup on Simon last night....
@luv70s: @RyanSeacrest Ry, what got you so rattled with Simon last night? I commend you for confronting Si, but WOW!
