Another incident was added to the ever-growing sexual abuse revelations when singer Harry Styles was groped during 'We Can Survive' — an all-star breast cancer awareness concert on Sunday.
A couple of Twitter videos surfaced after the concert that showed when the former One Direction star was performing his song 'Kiwi' at Hollywood Bowl, a flurry of hands came probing when he got up close to the fans in the front row.
In the video, one rogue hand can be seen grabbing at his crotch which led to the singer immediately turn back and join his band.
This is flat out disgusting and vile. I am sick and tired of his so called "fans" treating him like this, he deserves better #RespectHarry pic.twitter.com/xJKlUnFfY0

The incident follows the sexual assault allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, and director James Toback. Majority of women and men have come forward since sharing their personal stories about experiencing sexual assault and harassment using hashtag #MeToo.
Styles hasn't said anything about the incident. But his fans are appalled.
if you grab someone’s dick without their consent, it’s sexual assault. just because harry’s a male doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the same right as women. you must be absolutely disgusting if you think him kneeling in front of you calls for that. i’m disgusted. #respectharry

I'm in tears. Harry has created such a safe space for everyone, and this is how he's repaid? Sexual assault? I just... #RespectHarry

Grabbing Harry by his crotch is sexual assault. It’s wrong. Never ever touch someone like that. He’s human. Treat him like one.#RespectHarry

PSA: if you ever get the opportunity of see a artist in front row, do not think it’s okay to sexual assault then. #RespectHarry

Do this instead. This is what you should do when you have the chance to be that close to him. #RespectHarry pic.twitter.com/cx9htuo2dp
