Avril Lavigne shuts down topless woman protestor at Juno Awards: 'F*** off'
Avril Lavigne at Juno Awards 2023
Juno Awards 2023 saw a lot of drama unfold as singer Avril Lavigne was on stage to introduce a performance. Atopless environmental protestor climbed on the stage and Avril didn't let her take her air time. The music awards are equivalent to the one that happens in Britain. Juno Awards happen in Canada.
While Avril Lavigne was speaking, a topless woman climbed the stage behind the singer, flashing her back toward the audience. Her back had a message written on it: “Save the green belt” in reference to a controversial housing development plan by the Ontario government.
Avril tried to finish her speech at the awards before confronting the woman. She said, "Get the f*** off.” The woman was then escorted off stage by a security guard.
Watch what happened here:
The singer also mentioned the protestor in her acceptance speech when she joked, "Now, nobody try anything this time. I'll [mess a woman] up," while collecting the TikTok Juno fan choice award.
