That's precisely what happened last night at the 2012 BRIT Awards after Adele was named Best British Female Solo Artist and won Album of the Year. OK! NEWS: BRIT AWARDS 2012 WINNERS! Her speech started out innocently enough: "It's been an amazing year." According to E! News, she thanked her record company "for letting me be the kind of artist I want to be." OK!

Unhappy about being interrupted, after the show the 21 singer claimed she flipped the bird to execs, not to fans. "I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but it was the suits that offended me." She said, "Thank you all very much and thanks to my fans. I don't want them to think I was swearing at them."
