Kehlani speaks out after she reveals she was sexually assaulted following her concert at the City Centre venue in Manchester Monday night.

The singer explains that while security escorted her through the crowd, someone reached out and touched her inappropriately.

“I don’t want any video of me as angry, triggered, crying upset as i am anywhere,” she wrote. “i don’t care how sexual you deem my music, my performances, my fun with my friends dancing at clubs, or ME….” She wrote in a since deleted post. “That does not give any of you the right to cross a boundary like sticking your hands up my skirt & pulling my underwear to TOUCH MY GENITALS as i am being escorted through a crowd after performing.”

“That sh*t made me sick to my stomach as a victim of sexual assault, i am endlessly triggered and mindblown,” she concluded.
