AceShowbiz - In a dramatic turn of events at a Miami nightclub, Shakira walked off stage after catching a fan filming up her skirt. The incident, captured on video, has sparked outrage and support for the superstar on social media.
Shakira, 47, was initially all smiles as she danced to her upcoming single, "Soltera," at the renowned LIV nightclub in Miami. The Grammy-winning artist was joined in the club by Winnie Harlow, Anitta, Lele Pons, and Danna amidst an electrified crowd. But the joyous atmosphere took a sudden turn when Shakira noticed someone seemingly filming up her skirt.
The moment, captured in a fan video, shows Shakira adjusting her dress and wagging her fingers at the offender. She pointed to her eyes, signaling she saw the inappropriate action, and stopped dancing briefly to express her disapproval. Despite her clear warning, the individual continued their disrespectful behavior, prompting Shakira to lower her skirt again and shake her head in frustration.
Unable to tolerate the offensive act any longer, Shakira eventually walked off the stage into the VIP area, where she was greeted by pals and security personnel. The incident, which has been widely discussed on social media, has drawn strong reactions from fans who condemned the inappropriate filming.
"People are GROSS. Whoever was filming should be arrested for sexual assault," one tweet read. Another fan expressed disappointment, saying, "That's truly disappointing behavior. Artists deserve respect and privacy, both on and off stage. It's crucial to ensure a safe environment for everyone."
While many assumed the culprit was a fan, a statement from LIV Miami claimed "it was actually [Shakira's] photo and video team that she was trying to get to stop filming her while she was enjoying the moment with the crowd and fans." Shakira's representatives have not yet responded to requests for comment, and the superstar herself has not addressed the incident on social media.
Following her recent split from soccer star Gerard Piqué, Shakira has been in the public eye, both for her personal life and her career moves. She moved to Miami from Barcelona with her sons, Milan and Sasha, after ending her 11-year relationship with Piqué.
Shakira, who has been linked to Tom Cruise and Lewis Hamilton post-breakup, has stated she is not currently interested in dating. "What space do I have for a man right now?" she told Rolling Stone. Her focus appears to be on her forthcoming "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" world tour, set to kick off in November, marking her first tour since 2018.
Though Shakira has yet to announce a release date for "Soltera," the nightclub incident has undoubtedly put a spotlight on the song and has fans eagerly awaiting new music from the Colombian superstar.
