Shakira storms off stage after indecent filming incident
Shakira walks off stage at Miami club due to indecent filming
Filming up a woman’s dress is undeniably indecent. Unfortunately, it still occurs, especially to celebrities who are often dehumanised by the public. This happened to Shakira on Saturday night (14 September), prompting her to walk off stage abruptly.
The incident didn’t occur at a paid event, but Shakira’s reaction to such behaviour was justified. The 47-year-old took the stage at LIV Miami nightclub in Florida to debut her new single ‘Soltera’, expected to release by the year’s end. Genius, a major song lyrics platform, lists the release date as 1 December.
Yesterday morning, a Twitter user shared a picture of Shakira with two other singers, captioned ‘MADRES DE LATAM’, translating to ‘Mothers of LATAM’ (Latin America). Shakira responded with ‘Que estaré planeando?’ meaning ‘What will I be planning?’ This photo was from the night before when she was out clubbing.

Footage from the incident shows Shakira in a gold sequin dress, dancing on a small stage. As fans filmed her, she noticed one camera aimed inappropriately. She signalled the person to focus on her face, but they continued filming under her dress. Shakira then held her minidress and stormed off to the VIP section.
Fans defended her on Twitter. One wrote, “Shakira can’t even enjoy and dance to her OWN song? I f***ing hate men, ban these men from clubs entirely.” Another added, “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 stance is supported by many.
