Singer Kehlani says she was sexually assaulted on Monday night after her performance in Manchester.
The Oakland-born singer, who is on the European leg of the Blue Water Road Trip Tour, said she was inappropriately touched while walking through the crowd of a recent show.
“I’ve made video after video after video and deleted it because I don’t want any video of me as angry, triggered, crying upset as I am anywhere,” she wrote on her Instagram Story, which has since been deleted. “I don’t care how sexual you deem my music, my performances, my fun with my friends dancing at clubs, or ME….
“that does not give any of you the right to cross a boundary like sticking your hands up my skirt & pulling my underwear to TOUCH MY GENITALS as I am being escorted through a crowd after performing.”
“this shit made me sick to my stomach. as a victim of sexual assault, I am endlessly triggered and mind blown,” she ended.
David Ali, the singer’s manager, posted Kehlani’s performance on his IG stories and videos of her performing at an after-party at The Printworks.
Since her revelation, fans have come to Kehlani’s side to express outrage over the situation.
“Disgusted that this happened in my city, it was such a good vibe all night too. Absolutely vile,” someone posted on Twitter.
