Overview

• On July 26 at the Le Cri de la Goutte festival in Ain, France, Lulu Van Trapp singer Rebecca Baby was groped by two men while performing in the crowd.
• She returned to the stage visibly shaken but refused to stop the show, removing her top and finishing the set topless as a protest against the sexualisation of women’s bodies.
• Several women in the audience joined her by going topless in solidarity, while some male concertgoers later expressed regret and support for her.
• Festival organizers condemned the assault as unacceptable and issued a statement backing her decision to continue performing on her own terms.
• Days after the incident, Instagram deleted her original testimony, prompting increased calls for clearer social media policies on survivor testimony and her own forthcoming detailed account.
