Fans in shock as Harry Styles 'groped' by over-eager fan
It happened on Saturday night
Last updated 23rd Oct 2017
Harry Styles has a lot of fans all over the world, but on Saturday night one over-eager fan pushed the boundaries when they 'groped' the 'Sign of the Times' singer.
Harry was performing his song 'Kiwi' from his debut solo album at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, when a fan at the front of the audience reached up and grabbed the singer's crotch. This incident prompted Harry to push their hands away, apparently avoiding that area of the crowd for the rest of his set.
In the short video clips that have been appearing on social media, Harry who is wearing a red suit can be seen moving towards the edge of the stage. As fans reach to touch the pop star one appears to go too far by touching the singer's crotch. He immediately pushes them away retreating backwards before grabbing his microphone and continuing with the song.
Whilst it might be a mistake by the very excited fan, it highlights an issue between artists wanting to interact with their fans and their personal boundaries being respected.
Following this incident, which was witnessed by a number of fans at the event, many have taken to social media to express how wrong it is for anyone to be 'groped', whether they are male or female. Journalist Savannah Seymour said, 'it's not okay to grope men either', whilst a Harry Styles fan account said, 'It's disgusting & disrespectful if you touch Harry', continuing, 'LEARN YOUR LIMITS'.
This incident takes place as many well-known women have come forward to talk about sexual assault and harassment.
Harry was performing at the annual We Can Survive concert in Los Angeles.
