Krishna Deshpande — AKA the normally adorable lead singer of that band whose single we predicted would be 2015's summer jam — reportedly unveiled his crazy once and for all by pulling a Fatemeh Wise in Milan.

TMZ reports that Krishna, currently on tour, threw a very drunk fit at Ristorante Berton last night upon seeing Wylie Lawson at a table with friends:

"He was unsteady on his feet, and his words were really slurred. He was shouting from the second he walked in, and Wylie was just sitting there looking very caught off guard but trying to be nice. He even invited Krishna to sit down at the table. He was really trying to calm the situation down, but Krishna wouldn't stop yelling, and he even threw a drink in Wylie's face. He was acting crazy."

The insider explained that when Krishna was asked to leave by management, he "got even more belligerent and had to be physically escorted out. It was not the kind of behavior you'd expect at a place like that."

Ruh roh. Looks like Krishna's back on the wagon again. The weird and unhealthy relationships wagon, that is.

While Krishna has always been fairly open about his wild lifestyle, which tends to go hand in hand with being in an electro-pop band that's experiencing exponential success, he has never had such a high profile meltdown — or thrown a public tantrum at all.

At face value, this pair may seem odd at best and laughably far-fetched at worst; however, Wylie appeared in a Figure 9 music video, and the two have tweeted at each other a considerable amount around September/October. Although neither Wylie nor Krishna has stated anything official about a relationship between them, pictures and fan social media accounts heavily imply a possible summer romance. Given Wylie's notorious status as a devil-may-care millionaire playboy, one can only surmise the relationship soured.
It's unclear whether this is a case of life imitating art or not, since Krishna has always been open about the autobiographical nature of his lyrics. Either way, video documentation exists, albeit shoddy and dimly lit, and it doesn't seem like the reports are highly exaggerated or off-base.

Considering the timing of this with Wylie's recent OUT Magazine cover and Krishna's own tour promoting Figure 9's debut album, the cynical may see this entire fiasco as a publicity stunt. If that's the case, it's a hell of a stunt.

Some reports indicate that Wylie followed Krishna outside. Hmmm.


So, let's get this straight: Krishna Deshpande, a 23-year-old Tumblr certified "cinnamon roll", was drunkenly raving while Wylie Lawson, louche Hollywood actor, was being a perfect gentleman? Ohhhhhkay. Tumblr user howbighowblue, who was present at the incident, has this to offer:

"i'm going to be honest i never got why people lose their shit over wylie like wtf he has a horse face guys are you blind??? but he was being so sweet while this crazy bitch had a meltdown IT WAS INSANE, like when krishna threw a drink in his face and wylie just sat there with these huge eyes LOOKING LIKE A KICKED PUPPY, IT WAS SO ADORABLY SAD. and then he followed the kid out instead of doing the sane thing and staying the fuck away from him. HE WANTED TO SEE IF KRISHNA WAS OKAY. okay guys i get it, i get why wylie lawson is god's gift to mankind. praise be i have converted to the church of wylie."
The full post is here. Is this our official documentation that Wylie Lawson is a closet sweetheart? Apparently.

One thing's for sure: Krishna's got some iffy drunken insults. While being wrestled out of the restaurant he redirected his wrath and shouted, "This place probably doesn't have anything vegetarian on the fucking menu, anyway." Yikes. Fingers crossed he doesn't throw up on stage during his show tonight.
