The wheelchair concertgoer who Madonna singled out at her recent show has finally spoken up about the toe-curling incident.
Last week, the 65-year-old 'Vogue' hitmaker - who is currently on her Celebrations Tour which kicked off in London back in October - found herself in hot air on social media.
Footage from Madonna's recent show at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, captured the moment the singer singled out a fan and asked them: "What are you doing sitting down over there?" while pointing, before continuing: "What are you doing sitting down?"
Seemingly unable to hear the fan's response, the 'Like A Prayer' songstress walked closer to the edge of the stage before realizing that they were using a wheelchair.
Watch the moment below:She acknowledged the error and quickly apologized, telling them: "Oh, OK. Politically incorrect. Sorry about that. I'm glad you are here," before resuming her position at the center of the stage.
One fan voiced their disappointment after seeing the clip, writing: "I’d want every cent of my money back if it was me. Once she walked to the corner of the stage, both middle fingers would’ve been waiting for her. Good grief."
Another user blasted: "who [the f***] cares if someone sits down during a concert if they PAID for tickets," while a third chimed in: "Doesn’t matter if they stand, seat or are laying down. They bought the ticket they can stand, seat, and sleep if they feel like it…"
A fourth added: "It’s not politically incorrect. It’s simply wrong and an a**hole move. Many people sit during shows that aren’t [visibly] disabled. You can also just be tired."
Meanwhile, some people pointed out that at least the 'Hung Up' singer apologized after her blunder.
One user shared: "At least she apologized and was nice about it. She could have chosen not to apologize but she did and that shows class," and a second added: "At least she had the decency to apologize and be sweet about it?? what do y'all want."
However, others criticized the delivery and tone of her apology as someone explained: "That wasn’t genuine. She said politically incorrect. She wasn’t apologizing she was covering her a**."
The concertgoer has now been named Vanessa Gorman and they have broken their silence in a new interview with TMZ.
Last Friday (March 15), Gorman - who a paraplegic from a motor vehicle accident in 1999 - told the outlet that she is not offended by the musician's words, saying: "Some people are in wheelchairs and can stand. She had no idea I was paralyzed."
Gorman admitted that she was starstruck over being noticed by her idol, and was even heard shouting "I love you!" during a video taken from her viewpoint.
She also said that she was surprised when Madonna didn't initially see that she was in a bright pink wheelchair and applauded the singer for apologizing immediately.
Madonna has not commented further on the incident.
