Madonna Fan In Wheelchair Responds To Singer Scolding Her For Sitting At Concert
HuffPost
The Queen of Pop previously apologized over the mishap that occurred during her Celebration tour.
The Madonna fan and wheelchair user, who was singled out by the pop star for sitting down during one of her concerts, is breaking her silence on the viral incident.
In a new interview with TMZ, Vanessa Gorman said she doesn’t have any ill feelings toward the “Material Girl” singer, 65, and defended her over what she deemed to be an honest mistake.
“Some people are in wheelchairs and can stand. She had no idea I was paralyzed,” Gorman, who is a paraplegic from a motor vehicle accident in 1999, told the outlet on Friday.
Gorman was reportedly seated on the floor right by the stage at the show and noted that she was surprised that Madonna didn’t initially see that she was seated in a bright pink wheelchair.
She went on to tell TMZ that she responded to Madonna’s mistake by shouting her love for the singer. Gorman added that she enjoyed herself during the rest of the show, which reportedly was held at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, last month.
