A third user said that it was terrifying and added, “She is never going to give us more dates again.”

A fourth user commented, “It was a drunk man that security failed to remove even after a breathalyzer.”

Another person noted that the man’s behavior was “unacceptable” and added, “Oh my God but that’s actually terrifying, you have no idea what their intention was when pulling her into the crowd…. and there are way too many bad people in the world sadly. THIS is why security walks around following them the entire time. their audacity to even do this??? hopefully security made them leave the show.”
