Pink, the pop icon known for her powerful performances and outspoken nature, recently found herself in a heated exchange with a concertgoer during her San Antonio show. The incident unfolded when a man started protesting circumcision, prompting Pink to take action.
The Incident Unfolds
As Pink was entering the acoustic part of her concert, she noticed a message on a man’s phone that caught her attention. The message read, “Circumcision is cruel and harmful.” Curious about the man’s intentions, Pink leaned in to read the message. She sarcastically asked him if he felt good about himself for making a point during her concert. The man responded with chants of “Yes,” seemingly aiming to condemn Pink’s performance.
Pink’s Non-Confrontational Response
Despite the man’s protests, Pink maintained her composure and responded in a non-confrontational manner. She questioned whether he would be alright after spending money on tickets just to voice his opinion. The crowd cheered and applauded Pink’s sarcastic response, showing their support for the singer.
Kicking Out the Protester
Rather than engaging in a prolonged argument, Pink decided to take action. She humorously remarked that she would use the ticket money to buy a Birkin bag and asked the man to leave, stating, “Get that s–t out of here.” Security intervened and escorted the protester out of the venue, while the crowd continued to cheer for Pink.

Social Media Backlash and Pink’s Response
Following the circumcision protest incident, Pink took to social media to express her frustration with the negativity she encountered.
