Madonna scolded a concertgoer for not standing during her show, only to learn the person was in a wheelchair. She's catching major heat online for the blunder.
Pop star Madonna is getting skewered online after making a massive blunder at her concert. Video of the 'Material Girl' singer has surfaced online, showing her berating someone in the crowd at her concert for not standing up. 'What are you doing sitting down over there?' she asked, pointing directly at the individual. 'What are you doing sitting down?' she said again.
Politically incorrect isn’t it either. Ableism. If I paid for a seat, I’ll do what I want sit or stand. Concerts are exhausting, hot, etc. nothing wrong with a break. I’m not a fan so I would never buy her tickets. If I was a fan, I wouldn’t be anymore,' another person shared. 'As a Madonna fan and I person who will likely end up using a wheelchair in the future due to balance issues; I am highly disappointed. Some people fail to realize that disabilities come in many different ways.
According to several social media users, the incident took place at Madonna's Vancouver concert on Feb. 21 at Rogers Arena, but the video is only going viral now. 'I’ve been to the show. There’s a part where during the show she asks everyone to stand up. It’s not about who’s sitting/standing during the entire show. Just 1 section she asks for participation. And this time she embarrassed herself,' a fan explained of what likely sparked Madonna's commentary.
representative for Madonna did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Currently on her 'Celebration Tour,' Madonna's next performance is Mar. 11 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
