Madonna left fans mortified after repeatedly telling a concertgoer to stand up before realizing they are in a wheelchair.
The 65-year-old Grammy-winning musician is currently on her world-conquering Celebrations Tour which kicked off in London, England, back in October and is set to conclude in Mexico in April.
During her show at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Thursday (March 7), the 'Vogue' songstress faced a very awkward moment while addressing a specific audience member.
Footage shared on social media captured the moment Madonna singled out a fan and asked them: "What are you doing sitting down over there?" while pointing. She then appeared to question: "What are you doing sitting down?"
Watch the moment below:Seemingly unable to hear the fan's response, the 'Hung Up' musician walked closer to the edge of the stage before realizing that they were using a wheelchair.
Madonna 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.
The clip has been shared millions of times now from various angles, with comments flooding in following the toe-curling incident. One fan voiced their disappointment, 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: "This is super f***ing weird, even if they weren’t in a wheelchair what’s the problem in sitting down at a concert + there’s so many disabled people who don’t use wheelchairs but still may need to sit down?"
A third chimed in: "Who gives a f*** if someone sits at your concert?? regardless of whether or not they’re disabled, they paid to be there…loser a** entitled behavior on full display here."
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."
"WHY ARE YOU BOTHERED BY SOMEONE SITTING AT YOUR SHOW? Come for me idg**. This is so not it. And also when you realize your mistake f***ing own up to it. Don’t blame fucking politics or politeness. Just don’t be a d***," someone shared.
Some people pointed out that at least the 'Material Girl' singer apologized after her blunder.
"At least she had the decency to apologize and be sweet about it?? what do y'all want," one person said, while a second interjected: "At least she apologized and was nice about it. She could have chosen not to apologize but she did and that shows class."
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**."
Madonna has not commented further on the viral mishap.
