Shakira has been the talk of the town in the last few hours. Contrary to what one might think, it was not because of her successful world tour ‘Women no longer cry’, but because of the bad gesture she allegedly had with one of her dancers,

It all happened during her last concert in Bogotá, on February 27. The singer and her dancers were about to enter the stage, when one of her companions put her hand in front of her face, apparently pointing at something.

At this, the Barranquilla woman, with a serious face, slapped him on the arm , while saying something in his ear, and then walked through the crowd as if nothing had happened.

Shakira is criticized for slapping her dancer at concert

As expected, the video of the moment quickly went viral and the artist was the subject of much criticism on social media. Many users called her “rude” and demanded that she respect her employees.

Despite the strong accusations, several fans came to her defense and claimed that the slap was not strong, pointing out that the dancer should not have put her hand in front of the artist in the first place.

Here are some comments that can be read about the event:

• “Clearly, the song was about to start and, well, no way, he had to stop it.”
• “Darina (the dancer) is your friend, stop exaggerating”
• “And then they say that Angela Aguilar is the conceited one”
• “She is rude”
• “They keep praising a simple singer, I wouldn’t pay to see her”
• “If it is like this in public, what will it be like in private?”
• “Only the envious criticize her”

So far, Shakira and the dancer have not commented on what happened. However, the concert went off without a hitch, which is an indication that the incident did not cause any major problems.
