A night out in Miami for Shakira took an unexpected turn when she encountered an unsettling incident at the popular nightclub, LIV Miami. A shocking video captured the moment when the 47-year-old singer, known for hits like “Hips Don’t Lie,” became visibly upset after a clubgoer attempted to film under her skirt as she performed her new single, “Soltera.”
Caught on Camera: The reaction of Shakira to the disturbing act
The footage, which has since gone viral, shows Shakira stopping mid-performance as she notices the individual trying to angle his camera beneath her skirt. Disturbed by the invasive behaviour, she can be seen immediately confronting the clubgoer and demanding he stops filming. Despite her protest, the man continued recording, prompting Shakira to walk off stage in frustration.
Outrage Online: Fans and netizens condemn the behaviour
Social media users quickly rallied behind the singer, condemning the disrespectful behaviour. “It’s wild how some guys can single-handedly turn a great experience into a total cringe-fest with their creepy vibes,” one user commented.
Another chimed in, “I f*g hate men, ban these men from clubs entirely.” A third user reflected on the broader issue of privacy and respect for performers: “That’s truly disappointing behaviour. Artists deserve respect and privacy, both on and off stage. It’s crucial to ensure a safe environment for everyone.”
Shakira’s personal life and recent headlines
The incident comes at a time when Shakira has been candid about her personal life. In June, the Colombian superstar revealed that she is not yet ready for “a formal relationship” following her high-profile split from longtime partner, Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué, two years ago. The former couple, who were together for 11 years, share two sons—Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9.
Piqué’s relationship with his current girlfriend, Clara Chia, 26, who was previously an employee of his, has been the subject of much speculation, with rumours swirling that the footballer cheated on Shakira with her.
Meanwhile, Shakira has been linked to high-profile figures, including actor Tom Cruise and racing champion Lewis Hamilton, although no formal relationships have been confirmed. The incident at LIV Miami has sparked further conversations about the importance of personal boundaries and respect for public figures, highlighting the challenges performers face both on and off stage.
