Singer Tells Pregnant Fan 'Get Up and Dance'!
2 Dec
Summary
- Musician Example mistakenly asked a pregnant, disabled fan to stand up.
- The fan, 27 weeks pregnant, had to reveal her condition and disability.
- Fans criticized Example's behavior, calling him rude and insensitive.
Musician Example, performing at London's O2 Arena, mistakenly singled out a 27-week pregnant and disabled fan for not standing during his set. The fan, who uses a walking stick, had to make her situation known to the artist after he questioned her actions. This incident, shared on TikTok, drew significant criticism from concert-goers who described Example as rude and unwilling to let the matter go.
Social media users expressed dismay, with some recalling similar instances of his alleged behavior at other shows. One commenter noted that Example later falsely claimed "even this pregnant woman is standing," highlighting the misrepresentation of the situation. The fan contrasted this negative experience with a positive one meeting the band JLS, who were reportedly gracious and commented favorably on her customized walking aid.
In related news, JLS is currently on a UK comeback tour. However, band member Aston Merrygold is performing despite a recent injury requiring surgery, which has left him on crutches. He sustained the injury during rehearsals, and the band has made adjustments to their shows to accommodate his condition, though Merrygold expressed his determination not to disappoint fans.
