Concertgoer Jessica Rosario says, “As he started to sing, he noticed a man who allegedly hit a female and stopped the show and had him removed by security.”
Scotty McCreery stopped his performance to assist a single fan.
When the former American Idol winner witnessed a guy reportedly abuse a lady in the crowd on Saturday, August 24, at the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo, Colorado, he stopped singing.
Jessica Rosario, a concertgoer, uploaded a video showing McCreery, 30, stopping the performance at the start of his “It Matters To Her” performance.
“Scotty was talking about his wife [Gabi Dugal’s] favorite song in this video,” Rosario exclusively tells. “As he started to sing, he noticed a man who allegedly hit a female and stopped the show and had him removed by security.”
“Right here, that’s a lady you just hit, sir,” McCreery said in the video, pointing to someone in the audience. “Absolutely not, you just hit the lady. Police? Security? Is she okay? Get the heck out of here.”
“On God’s green earth. At a Scotty McCreery show? What are you doing?” he said shortly after he called out the alleged attacker. “Y’all let the cop know who hit the lady. That’s absolutely unacceptable.”
“We got ‘em? We good down there?” he asked security before concluding, “Whoever you are, that’s the definition of a coward, hitting a lady. Get the heck out of here.” He then checked in with the crowd before he resumed his set.
A individual who was finally hauled out was pointed to by people in the front of the throng. The identity of the guy and lady, as well as whether or not he was detained, have not been made public.
“We can confirm that an incident took place at the Scotty McCreery concert where a man assaulted a woman and the performer stopped the show,” Olga Robak, director of communications with The Colorado Department of Agriculture, tells.
Robak claims that crowd management was aided by security at the Colorado State Fair. “This incident is still under investigation and we cannot comment further.”
Colorado State Fair Security invites anybody with video or information about the attack to get in touch with them at csf.security@state.co.us.
A request for further information on Tuesday was not immediately answered by a Colorado State Fair spokesman.
