Sky Ferreira attacked & branded a "f*ggot" in Russia
Sky Ferreira has revealed on Instagram & Twitter today how she was groped, harassed and branded a f*ggot after playing a show in Moscow.
Quote:
The 21-year-old singer, a gay rights campaigner who suffered sexual abuse as a child, was confronted along with her band member Johnny Danger after a show in Moscow yesterday (June 3).
Ferreira hit out against her treatment in Russia on Twitter, writing: "I've been groped, we've been called 'f*ggots'. I'm officially ready to go home."
Earlier, the star uploaded a picture of herself and Danger enjoying cocktails on Instagram, explaining that it was taken "10 seconds before we got harassed by straight up FOOLS".
Danger published the same photo on his profile with the caption: "Moscow Mules in Moscow... right before I got into a fight #russia."
A representative for Ferreira confirmed to Digital Spy the time and location of the incident, but was unable to give further details.
They also said that despite tweeting she is "ready to come home", Ferreira has travelled on to Portugal for the Optimus Primavera Sound festival.
Ferreira, who is dating Zachary Cole Smith of indie rock band DIIV, has been supporting Miley Cyrus on the UK and European leg of her 'Bangerz' tour.
The Russian law against homosexuality has been used to stir media interest and distract people from the failure of Putin and the government. It's sad that she became caught up in this especially considering her childhood. Honestly, sanctions and cultural boycotts need to be placed on Russia.
What the **** is wrong with people? What would make somebody think this is okay? She should have beat the **** out of them.
Fortunately she's an extremely strong person, especially considering all she's been through. I'm glad she spoke out about it, it's disgusting. Poor Johnny aswell, hope he didn't get hurt too bad.
poor girl. russia is a gross place.
