In light on all the sexual harassment claims coming out in Hollywood lately, it’s important to remember that it can happen to anybody, especially boys.
19-year-old singer Khalid has just revealed a very awkward moment he had with a fan, and how uncomfortable it made him feel.
“lol I go to talk to a fan and she grabs my ass, how f**** old are we???” he began.
“I love interacting and talking to fans but I also love respecting others so don’t disrespect me when I’m being nice.”
A fan then asked Khalid what he did after that, and he simply replied, “I left.” Another fan then pointed out that if he had done that, things would have ‘blown up’, in which Khalid responded, “yeah I ignored it bc I don’t like showing anger in front of anyone.”
A large number of fans started tweeting Khalid after he exposed the fan, one writing, “I hope you’re okay. Sexual assault is completely unacceptable.”
He replied, “sexual assault/harassment happens on both ends and you’re right. It’s unacceptable.”
He continued to respond to fans who were supporting him, finishing off the rant with, “I don’t want someone grabbing on me that I don’t know lol some people are weird.”
Amen Khalid.
