August Alsina gropes female onstage during concert, slammed by fans for 'sexual harassment'
Fans blast August Alsina for 'sexual harassment' after he groped a female concertgoer during a recent performance...
August Alsina took a fan onstage to serenade her during his concert this weekend, but his wandering hands have gotten him in trouble with the internet since then.
On Friday, the singer was doing a concert in Baton Rouge when he brought the female fan up. While she sits in the chair, Alsina begins touching her neck, but then his hands slid down, and he ends up groping her breasts. She pushes his hands aside and covers herself with her hands in the video.
Interestingly, fans seem to be divided on the issue of whether or not the action constituted some kind of sexual harassment. One user posted the video along with the caption, “August Alsina living his dream, and his dream is sexual harassment.”

I see ppl comparing the August Alsina video to Janet and other women acts.. There's a diff in suggestively dancing on someone vs groping.

In the case of Akon, it involved bringing an underaged girl onstage. This August Alsina video is disturbing & cringeworthy. A damb gropefest

Still some wondered if there was a double standard involved, with one tweeting, “I am ALL for this August Alsina discussion just make sure it applies to Beyonce, Rihanna, Janet, Usher, Chris Brown, Miguel, Drake too.”

Alsina has yet to publicly apologize for his recent behavior.
