Overview
- Video from the Nov. 22 show at Detroit’s Masonic Jack White Theatre shows a front‑row woman reaching up and grabbing Mario’s crotch during a song.
- Mario immediately removed the woman’s hand, told her to stop, and continued performing after stepping back from the edge of the stage.
- Clips shared widely on TikTok and Instagram drew condemnation, with viewers noting the hand appeared to wear a wedding ring.
- As of the latest reports, the woman has not been identified, no arrest has been reported, and representatives for Mario have not publicly commented.
- The episode has intensified discussion about performer safety and gendered double standards, following an October onstage disruption in Fresno for which Mario later apologized.
