At a stop on the couple’s Soul2Soul tour Saturday, a female fan grabbed Tim McGraw in the crotch area as he walked between a barricade and the stage to greet fans. Faith Hill was not pleased.
The country star chastised the fan: “Somebody needs to teach you some class, my friend,” she tells the fan. “You don’t go grabbin’ somebody else’s, somebody’s husband’s [private parts], you understand me? That’s very disrespectful.” See more HERE
You go girl! I would have done the same. Too often we as a society are forced to be politically correct and overly kind when in a celebrity status. I think she done good.
But the incident got me to thinking about how I would react if I were Tim. I mean think about it, you have just performed for some 40,000 fans, you’re tired and just want to get back to your bus and chill a bit when a fan walks up and grabs your crotch! Now speaking as a guy, this may not always be so bad. You know us guys are dogs and enjoy being fondled right? Well, honestly, even if this may have been the slightest bit flattering, once you have allowed one fan to do it, imagine the fall-out from that!
Interesting thing is that if a male fan did it to a female celebrity, he would immediately be cuffed, stuffed and charged. Funny how that works huh? But I would probably have to address the issue not only as a public address but also to the fan as well. I would talk to them personally, (from a distance of course!) and let them know that even though they probably didn’t mean anything lude, it was just not very respectful.
Now I know that deep down inside all you guys are thinking that it would be awesome to have female fans grabbin’ your package but come on, think about it. Eventually once the crotch-grabbing fad caught on at your concerts, you’d have a world of problems!
How do you feel about this. If you were a celeb, would you think it ok to have fans grab your “gucci” or fondle your finkleman? Or would you immediately rush to the safety of your bus and conduct all future concerts via “satellite?”
As always, I encourage your comments and thoughts and feel free to send brownies….no nuts!
