After reports this week revealed Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke walked off the set of The Masked Singer when Rudy Giuliani was revealed, writer Hunter Harris summed up a common reaction by tweeting, "Lord when even Robin Thicke is doing the right thing." But a report now claims Thicke's exit wasn't "because of Giuliani" at all.

Deadline reported on Wednesday that during a recent taping of the Fox show, Giuliani was unmasked and revealed as one of the contestants, and judges Jeong and Thicke "quickly left the stage in protest." The singing competition series sees celebrities perform wearing elaborate costumes so their identities aren't known to viewers or the judges until a dramatic reveal.
