Discipline for on-set incidents
- Addisongate
Upon seeing Addison Agen did not get the four chair turn during the blind auditions of season 13 of The Voice, Pink Team East moderator Maribel Mort shoved Pink Team North moderators Andrea Coolranch onto the floor after Coolranch reportedly pulling Mort's hair-tie and repeatedly throughout the episode, Pink Team South moderators Karla Hansen, Breeanna Sorensen and Jenna Monroe, and Purple Team West moderators Thia Tola and Jenny Riva all lost their tempers and Mort pulled off Coolranch's necklace and Riva ripping off Tola's pants and bit host Ava Zinn's left wrist. Riva and Mort respectively then threw Tola's pants and Coolranch's necklace onto the notorious Cat Pound fan section of Ava Zinn and Alexandra Moffitt audience and were promptly thrown to the ground by Sorensnen. Riva and Mort then proceeded to strike Tola and Hansen, respectively, on the back of their heads before being pulled away by Purple Team North Moderators Rachael Passalt and Kendra Ray.
Mort, Coolranch, Sorensen, Monroe, Hansen, Tola, and Riva were ejected from the episode, and were initially fined $10,000 for their unsportsmanlike actions. Mort and Riva were suspended for the reminder of the season due to the nature of the altercation.
