No place for this…

While Harry Styles performed at the We Can Survive charity concert in California over the weekend, there was an incident which caused outrage for a lot of people.

The aim of the charity was to raise funds for breast cancer, and it certainly did, so in that respect, it was a roaring success for organisers.

But footage has emerged of the moment a fan appears to grab Styles’ crotch while he’s crouched at the front of the stage performing one of his songs. When this happens he promptly removes himself from the front of the stage and continues to perform the song.

Multiple angles of the incident have emerged online over the past 24 hours.

The other from Twitter user, @wanderessla:

Fans have been calling out the incident, labelling it a sexual assault. Styles himself has yet to respond to the incident.

The incident has prompted the start of a movement called #RespectHarry and huge numbers of people are tweeting their disgust at what happened.

“I don’t like Harry Styles but y’all touching his crotch isn’t ok,” one fan commented.

Another similarly said: “Honestly not a big fan of Harry Styles but you have no right to grab his crotch.”
