I thought she got burnt from the iron too. That's what it looked like. In the end I think it was just a nervous breakdown. That happened to be the very first leg of the tour at Saitama; perhaps she thought they did not have enough time to prepare to their fullest and she was having her doubts/reservations about how good a performance they were giving. It could also have been that she was extremely stressed out up until that point but had no way of letting it out because she had no time to cry during rehearsals; I guess this isn't good because that means some kind of stimulus would trigger it to come out all at once...like the anxiety of having to go through a costume change in a very short time period. This was one of her largest scale tours after all, made bigger by the fact that it would have stops in Asia.
I'm sure she is very grateful to her staff that they opened her eyes when they did because she really would have regretted botching that performance later on. It was her staff that prevented this from happening. They weren't being mean to her. I think they did the right thing in making her realize she had a job to do and so did they.
