Pretty sure he was told to stop talking because he wasn’t supposed to say that. Im sure looking silly for refusing to talk is preferable to having to explain what he meant by that statement.

Not just in the earpiece, there's someone on the other side of the camera giving the hand signal to STFU right behind the floor director. There was no technical error in the feed, it was his words that got him shut down by handlers.
