Halsey's fan inappropriately touches the singer during the Washington concert; netizens express disappointment

Halsey, the ‘Closer’ singer, was reportedly inappropriately touched as the fan took his hand up the skirt, while the 31-year-old was singing a track during the concert close to the audience.

She has been busy with her tour, and the videos kept surfacing on the internet, until the particular clip from the recent concert stunned the fans.

Halsey was inappropriately touched

On November 4, Halsey was performing the song ‘Is There Somewhere’ at The Anthem, Washington, DC. With just a barrier between the singer and the crowd, she was singing closely, and the audience was busy with admiration. One of the concertgoers held their hand and started going up her thigh, groping her parts.

While the singer didn’t realise in the moment, the security quickly swatted the hand away, as per the New York Post.

A fan shared the video on social media and said, “I can’t even believe i have to say this. Respect Halsey and DO NOT touch her or anyone like this without their consent. You people are unbelievable.” Another fan replied, “Omfg…this person needs to be banned from ever attending a Halsey show again wtf so disrespectful.”

A third said, “Oh that made me sick to my stomach.” A fourth user said, “I am appalled! They should be banned.
