Sam Smith fans have defended the singer after a cruel ‘stage dive’ video went viral.
Smith is an English singer-songwriter known for popular tracks such as ‘Unholy,’ ‘Dancing with a Stranger,’ and ‘Stay With Me.’
They’ve won numerous accolades throughout their career, including five Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award, among others.
In recent years, Smith, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, has been subject to waves of backlash – from their ‘satanic’ stage performance to a bold outfit they wore at the Brit Awards.
But now they’re being defended by fans after a mean video began surfing on X, formerly Twitter.
In a viral video, a person dressed in a Ninja Turtle costume attempts a stage dive and no one catches them.
Many social media trolls uploaded the clip online, labeling the person as Smith while simultaneously body-shaming them.
