Someone Crashed The Junos Stage Topless & Avril Lavigne Told Them 'Get The F*** Off' (VIDEO)
"Did I miss anything crazy at all?"
As we all learned from the now infamous Oscars slap, anything can happen at a live awards show and the 2023 JUNO Awards was no exception.
Avril Lavigne was on stage to introduce Punjabi-Canadian singer AP Dhillon who was about to perform when someone crashed the stage completely topless.
Lavigne was talking about how special the experience of performing in front of the JUNOS crowd is when the crasher — who was dressed in bright pink pants, a bandana, and not much else — just walked on stage.
The stunt might've been a political statement as the crasher had "Save The Greenbelt" written across their bare back.
Courtney Theriault, a reporter with CityNews Edmonton, shared a video of the incident on social media.
While Lavigne tried to carry on as the crasher roamed the stage, she eventually snapped.
"Get the f*** off, b*tch," Lavigne told the crasher, who then obliged pretty quickly after being called out by the queen of pop punk.
Lavigne then took a moment to remind the shocked crowd that the moment was all about AP Dhillon.
Luckily, he seemed to take it all in his stride and his performance went off without a hitch.
After AP Dhillon wrapped up, the JUNOS host Simu Liu returned to the stage and couldn't help but crack a joke about the whole incident.
"I'm sorry I was just in the backroom a few minutes ago, did I miss anything crazy at all?" he teased.
"Probably not right? It's the Junos, what could possibly happen?"
The whole incident served as a good reminder that anything can happen on live television, folks!
