Although they didn\u2019t show the alleged hecklers, one clip captured the annoyed crowd leaving their seats when George didn\u2019t return to the stage.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/picture>\u00a0\"\"<\/picture>TMZ obtained an official statement shared by George\u2019s team, which appeared to blame the situation on the venue.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the venue or casino\u2019s job to provide a good experience for both the artist and the fans, but the casino failed in this regard. The audience was overserved and unruly, and the casino staff was unable to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for the artist and guests,\u201d the statement began.<\/p>\n

\u201cGeorge\u2019s personal security team worked with the venue security staff to maintain order, ensure safety, and eject disruptive individuals. Unfortunately, the casino security team was not adequate to accomplish this task.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement continued, \u201cGeorge is not obligated to perform in an unsafe environment. He feels badly that those who came to see the show were unable to do so as a result.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the venue told a different story about how things played out in an\u00a0Instagram\u00a0post.<\/p>\n

Their message\u00a0accused George of \u201cletting his fans down,\u201d and slammed the comic for not utilizing the venue\u2019s security or his private security, who were supposedly present, to deal with the hecklers.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe it\u2019s time to never book Mr. Lopez at Eagle Mountain Casino ever again. He showed the Casino our community he lacks professionalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe may have issues & problems far beyond why he canceled in the first place. It seems he did not want to perform or no longer has the magic of comedy,\u201d a third raged.<\/p>\n
