Taking to Instagram on Monday evening, they wrote: ‘I don’t care how sexual you deem my music, my performances, my fun with my friends dancing at clubs, or ME\u2026 <\/p>\n
‘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. <\/p>\n
‘This s**t made me sick to my stomach. As a victim of sexual assault, I am endlessly triggered and mindblown.’ <\/p>\n

Kehlani performed four shows at London’s Brixton Academy, Birmingham Academy, Glasgow’s O2 Academy and finally Manchester during their UK run, as well as a fifth at Dublin Olympia. <\/p>\n
The singer’s post, which has since been deleted, was shared shortly after their live show at Victoria Warehouse, but the venue in which the alleged incident occurred remains unclear. <\/p>\n
A long-time supporter of sexual assault survivors, Kehlani previously described women as society’s ‘life force’ during an interview with Billboard in 2017, as the #MeToo movement was gaining traction across the United States. <\/p>\n

‘That can be scary for people and it can result in terrible things, but don’t forget you who came from and what you are,’ they said. <\/p>\n
‘Don’t forget your power, don’t let any trauma take away your power. That’s easier said than done, but you got this.’<\/p>\n
Speaking to Apple podcast Sunday Gems in 2019, the singer also revealed that they had previously been raped.<\/p>\n
‘There is nothing I can say that is new, that I feel like is providing a real take, that I feel isn’t gonna take away from the conversation,’ they explained. ‘I don’t want to add more hurt, I don’t want to add more pain. <\/p>\n
‘All I want to say is, “Sending love to everybody who’s on a healing path right now, and sending love to everybody who needs it.”<\/p>\n
‘And if you’re apologizing for abuse, you’re disgusting, suck my d**k. You know what I’m saying?’ <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
