Rudy Giuliani's just as polarizing in reality TV, as he is in politics -- 2 'Masked Singer' judges revolted during a taping where Rudy was revealed as the mystery singer!!!
The taping went down last week, the first episode of the show's upcoming season, and -- not shockingly, we think -- Rudy was the first contestant eliminated. TMZ has confirmed ... as soon as the mask came off Rudy's head, Robin Thicke and Ken Jeong blew their tops.
As Deadline first reported, the judges were pissed and walked off the stage in protest.
Donald Trump's former attorney and advisor made jaws drop in the studio -- which is not uncommon during 'Masked' reveals, but we're told Robin and Ken's response went beyond the common reaction.
You might recall ... 'Masked' had another controversial/political reveal back in March 2020 when Sarah Palin was unmasked as a contestant. Obviously, the political climate is even more heated now -- none of the judges staged an open protest after that one.
