The Weeknd left DISGUSTED after fan throws underwear at his face during concert
When you're as big of a star as The Weeknd, it's no surprise that people might throw themselves at you.
But what might come as a surprise is when they start throwing their underwear too.
And that's exactly what happened recently at one of The Weeknd's shows as part of his After Hours Til Dawn tour.
During one of his performances, the Canadian-born singer, 35, got closer to the audience to sing Out of Time to some of his fans who were directly by the barricade.
But, in the middle of the song, a now-viral video shows him being hit in the face with a small piece of fabric - which turned out to be an audience member intimates.
It's difficult to tell whether it was a thong or bra (which fans later debated), but it was obvious that the star wanted rid of the item as soon as possible.
Once The Weeknd realized what was thrown at him, he gritted his teeth, tossed it away, and continued to hold a mic to his fans who were singing along to the song.
Though the moment only lasted a few seconds - and The Weeknd skillfully made sure that his performance wasn't overshadowed by it - it has gone on to live longer via social media.
Fans had mixed reactions to the moment.
While some argued about what the piece of clothing was exactly, others joked about the face The Weeknd made and how he was feeling.
'He better be careful, he might get the pink eye,' one X (formerly Twitter) user joked.
'He made a face like it stank,' another added.
But for some fans, the incident was no laughing matter.
'Why is this so normalized? It's f**king disgusting,' one user said.
'Imagine some guy throwing his boxers in Sza face at her concert,' another user said, insinuating the double standards that may be present between male and female performers.
Another user mirrored the same sentiment, offering, 'If a man did this to Sabrina Carpenter there'd be world wide outrage.'
Other fans expressed anger, pointing out that there would be a double standard had this happened to a female artist
'No cap, the way that Abel reacted when the bra hit directly at his face was unnecessary,' an upset fan shared.
'Fans have no chill cause ain't no way in hell I threw a bra at him, they took it way too far.'
And turns out, it wasn't just The Weeknd's facing tell fans to 'chill.'
Another fan shared a video of him after the moment happened, and The Weeknd can be heard repeating 'Let's keep our clothes on!' to the audience.

Kevin Costner talks about working with women after being sued by Horizon stunt double over 'unscripted' rape scene
Kevin Costner has opened up about working with women weeks after being sued by a stunt double in his latest film Horizon over a 'violent and unscripted' rape scene. The 70-year-old star appeared for a Q&A with Michael Strahan at Fanatics Fest in New York City on Friday. He was asked by the 53-year-old Good Morning America host how he has been able to work romantic storylines into his sports and western films. Costner even mentioned the film at the center of his recent lawsuit as he responded: 'But movies for me, you just can't have a movie without having a girl. And these movies, even in my westerns when I did Horizon, it's dominated by women. 'It's just dominated by, and I just think they made for the best movies, the games we play and the professional athletes, it is a three hour day for them.' He went on to say that when it came to the sports movies that he's done, often times the lives of his characters off the field were more captivating than on the field. Costner explained: 'They basically practice the entire year, but they have these lives outside the lines of what they play. And that's where a lot of drama takes place. 'And I think in the sports movies, I think I've always felt the need to have women.' His comments came just weeks after he found himself in a legal battle as a female stunt double that worked on his $100million Western epic Horizon has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him and the film's producers. Devyn LaBella alleges that she was subjected to an unscripted rape scene without notice on the set of the second and final Horizon film — Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 — in May 2023. According to court docs obtained by LaBella filed her lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, claiming that she 'was the victim of a violent, unscripted, unscheduled rape scene directed by Kevin Costner.' LaBella — who was hired as a stunt double for lead actress Ella Hunt — claimed to have never consented to the alleged scene, which she says left her with 'permanent trauma,' and that there was no intimacy coordinator present. The outlet reports that LaBella is 'suing for an undisclosed amount and wants a trial by jury.' Costner's attorney Marty Singer slammed LaBella as a 'serial accuser' as he vehemently denied her claims, which he insisted have 'absolutely no merit,' in a statement. He said that Costner 'always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously.' Singer, who accused LaBella of 'shakedown tactics,' also alleged that she had approved and rehearsed the scene with another actor prior to filming. He also claimed she was in 'good spirits' afterwards and had expressed gratitude for the opportunity via text to Horizon's stunt coordinator. In one alleged text, which was shared with PEOPLE, LaBella reportedly sent cartwheel and heart hand emojis to the stunt coordinator. Singer concluded: 'The facts are clear and we are beyond confident that Kevin will prevail.' In LaBella's suit filed Tuesday, the stuntwoman claimed that she was hired on for part two of Horizon as Ella Hunt's stunt double. As per the SAG agreement, LaBella was to stand-in for the actress 'during physical scenes,' as well as for any stunts. According to LaBella's complaint, any 'last minute requests for nudity or simulated sex' are not allowed by SAG and the film's producers are expected to give 48-hours notice of any changes. The performer's permission is also required when it comes to any changes related to intimate scenes. It was also claimed that having a 'coordinator for all intimacy scenes' was a requirement noted in Hunt's contract. Weeks into filming and 'without incident,' LaBella was told to stand-in for Hunt during a 'scripted, aggressive and intimate rape scene' due to its 'physical nature.' Devyn LaBella alleges that she was subjected to an unscripted rape scene without notice on the set of the second and final Horizon film — Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 — in May 2023 The scene was between Hunt's character Juliette and a male character Sig, played by actor Douglas Smith, and it was filmed on May 1, 2023, according to the lawsuit. The scene reportedly 'wrapped' with 'no issues' following multiple takes. One day later, LaBella — whose credits include Barbie (2023) and FX's American Horror Stories — alleged that she returned to the set of Horizon 2 for a 'non-intimate scene.' But LaBella claimed that director Costner, who was allegedly on set that day, had added in a scene where a different male character, played by Roger Ivens, sexually assaults Hunt's Juliette. Costner allegedly directed Ivens to 'climb on top of Ms. Hunt, violently raking up her skirt.' LaBella, who insists in her lawsuit that the scene was not listed on that day's call sheet, was allegedly asked by Costner to 'stand in' for Hunt 'without proper notice, consent, preparation, or appropriate safeguard measures in place.' She claimed that such a request 'was not within the scope of her role as a stunt double.' LaBella also alleged that she was unaware that Hunt herself had refused to do the scene — and that the actress had allegedly even gone as far as to walk off set. LaBella said her consent was not given to go through with the scene as she claimed it differed greatly from the rape scene shot on May 1, 2023, which had been choreographed, etc. Adding to her discomfort was the film's alleged open set, which would have allowed 'anyone' to walk on set and 'observe the scene being performed.' LaBella claimed that Costner did not call out 'action' or 'cut' during the scene, which meant she wasn't aware when it began or ended. She further alleged that neither the film's stunt coordinator or the intimacy coordinator were present during the filming of the impromptu scene or informed it was happening. The impact of the scene took a toll on LaBella, according to her lawsuit, as she allegedly broke down and experienced 'reminders of shame, humiliation and complete lack of control.' LaBella claimed that it was 'awkward' when she returned to set after taking several days off and that she was allegedly told to stay off set and remain in her trailer alone. She also claimed that those involved in the production 'made excuses' for Costner throughout the remainder of the shoot. LaBella claims that the onset incident has left her 'with permanent trauma that she will be required to address for years to come.' She said she began suffering from 'sleep disturbance, fears of intimacy' and 'anxiety,' which drove her to seek the help of a therapist in June 2023. 'On that day, I was left exposed, unprotected, and deeply betrayed by a system that promised safety and professionalism. What happened to me shattered my trust and forever changed how I move through this industry,' she shared in a statement to PEOPLE on Tuesday. 'As I continue performing and step into my journey of stunt coordination, I operate with a fierce commitment to upholding the highest standards, creating sets where safety, communication, and consent are non-negotiable. 'This experience has ignited in me a lifelong mission to be the advocate I once needed, ensuring no one else is ever left as vulnerable as I was.' LaBella's attorney James A. Vagnini called the lawsuit 'emblematic of what is still a very deep rooted issue in Hollywood.' LaBella's other attorney Kate McFarlane added that the 'case is a clear example of male-dominated, sexist Hollywood movie production. 'Our client was subjected to brutal sexual conduct completely unprotected from the obvious harm. This happened despite the fact that there exists standards of conduct and behavior specifically designed to protect people like Devyn LaBella,' McFarlane concluded.

Zak Starkey teams up with Paul McCartney and John Lennon's sons as they work on 'The Beatles kids' after he was sacked from The Who again
Zak Starkey has teamed up with Paul McCartney and John Lennon 's sons as they work on 'The Beatles kids' after he was sacked from The Who again. The son of Ringo Starr, 59, was fired from the band last month, just one month after he was sacked then quickly reinstated. He has now revealed that he is working on new music with Sean Lennon and James McCartney and they have collaborated on a song. Speaking in a new interview, Zak admitted that the idea was something he had avoided for fears of being 'judged forever.' He told The Sun: 'I thought it was a daft idea. But I've got to know James well over the last decade and Sean over the last five years and we have become great friends. 'Their music is great. I had a track called Rip Off and as we were communicating a lot I asked them to contribute.' Zak added: 'We were nervous in case there was no chemistry but there was loads and it sounded great. James' voice powerful it nearly blew me off my seat.' Sean, 48, is the second child of the late icon John, while James, 47, is Paul's only son and youngest child, who he welcomed with his late ex-wife Linda Eastman. In May, The Who guitarist Pete Townshend took to Instagram to announce that Zak, drummer since 1996, was no longer part of the band. But Zak quickly took to his own social media to claim that his departure was not a mutual decision and that he was fired from the band. His sacking comes just months ahead of the legendary bands farewell tour across North America and Pete revealed Scott Devours will replace him on drums. The statement from Pete read: 'After many years of great work on drums from Zak the time has come for a change. A poignant time. Zak has lots of new projects in hand and I wish him the best.' In a second post, Pete and Roger Daltrey added: 'The Who are heading for retirement, whereas Zak is 20yrs younger and has a great future with his new band and other exciting projects. 'He needs to devote all his energy into making it all a success. We both wish him all the luck in the world.' They continued: 'Scott Devours – Who fans will know him from Roger's solo shows – will be replacing Zak. We hope all our fans will welcome him. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey'. Resharing The Who's post, Zak hit back: 'I was fired two weeks after reinstatement and asked to make a statement saying I had quit the who to pursue my other musical endeavours this would be a lie. 'I love the who and would never had quit. So I didn't make the statement ….quitting The Who would also have let down the countless amazing people who stood up for me (thank you all a million times over and more) thru the weeks of mayhem of me going 'in an out an in an out an in an out like a bleedin squeezebox x. 'To clarify "other projects" yes I do have other projects and always have. The Who have been sporadic or minimalist in touring most years apart from a two extensive tours in 2000 and 2006/7.' Zak continued to list his other previous projects before adding: 'Releasing singles but not touring cos members are so busy. None of this has ever interfered with The Who and was never a problem for them. 'The lie is or would have been that I quit The Who- I didn't. I love the who and everyone in it.' Zak again took to his Instagram account to share that his version of events had been contradicted yet again after a phone call with The Who singer-guitarist Roger. Zak said Roger told him he hadn't actually been fired and instead 'retired to work on his own projects'. Resharing The Who's post, Zak hit back: 'I was fired and asked to make a statement saying I had quit the who to pursue my other musical endeavours this would be a lie' He wrote: 'NOISE&CONFUSION!!!! I had a great phone chat with Roger at the end of last week which truly confused both of us!!! 'Rog said I hadn't been 'fired'…I had been 'retired' to work n my own projects. I explained to Rog that I have just spent nearly 8 weeks at my studio in Jamaica completing these projects, that my group Mantra Of The Cosmos was releasing one single at the beginning of June and after that had run its course ( usually 5/6 weeks ) I was completely available for the foreseeable future…. 'Rog said "Oh!" and we kind of left it there- On good terms and great friends as we have always been. 'Gotta love these guys. As my mum used to say "The mind boggles!!!" XXX.' It comes weeks after The Who .
