Way to go Avril! Still love ya! Kicking some ugly as sin, lesbian feminist off stage! Epic!
Avril Lavigne cheered for telling off topless protester: 'Handled that like a pro'
Lavigne told the environmentalist demonstrator to 'get the f--- off' the stage
Twitter users cheered singer Avril Lavigne for telling a topless protester at the 2023 Juno Awards to "get the f--- off" the stage Monday night.
Lavigne originally took to the stage to introduce performer AP Dhillon, when a female demonstrator wearing pink pants and no shirt walked up and down the catwalk. The "Complicated" singer attempted to ignore the protester until a security guard came to escort the woman offstage.
"Get the f--- off," Lavigne told the protester. "Get the f--- off, b--ch."
Viewers and social media users praised Lavigne’s approach, including the colourful language.
"The world: Canadians are overly polite. Avril Lavigne: Hold my f---ing beer so I can tell this f*cking girl to get off the f*cking stage," City News Edmonton reporter Courtney Theriault joked.
The Free Press writer Rupa Subramanya wrote, "Avril Lavigne for the win. It's not complicated."
"She handled that like a pro," guitarist Devin Bronson remarked.
