Your support makes all the difference.A Madonna fan who was briefly exposed when she took to the stage at her concert has dismissed suggestions she could be angry with the singer, describing the incident as “the best moment in my life”.
Josephine Georgiou, 17, was pulled up on stage by the Queen of Pop during a concert in Brisbane on Thursday evening. Madonna was apparently in a provocative mood and proceeded to pull her corset down, revealing her breast to the audience.
In video footage, the singer is seen next to the young woman telling the crowd: “She’s the kind of girl you just want to slap on the ass and pull…” before tugging on the woman’s top which came down, exposing her breast to the audience.
“Oh sh*t, I am so sorry, sexual harassment, you can do the same to me if you like,” Madonna told the girl.
The incident was caught on camera and provoked outrage, but Josephine denied claims the experience was ‘humiliating’ and instead asked why she should be embarrassed about her own body.
“Seriously, why would I sue Madonna for the best moment of my life?,” she asked The Courier Mail.
“It was the best night.
“She was calling me a Victoria’s Secret model the whole time I was on stage, which is so flattering.
“Only I get to decide if I’m humiliated or not, why would people assume I am humiliated by my own breast, nipple or body?”
