       Dmytro Shurov was an X-Factor judge in Ukraine from seasons 8 and 9 of the show, who grabbed a contestant's guitar and smashed it on stage after he declared that he did not like the performer's song and melodies.

       Fellow X Factor judges and the audience were shocked at Dmytro's reaction. In the video, their expressions were visibly distressed when the camera panned across the venue.

       After he cooled off, however, he was applauded as he returned to his seat.
