MONICA SPEAKS ON JUMPING OFF STAGE IN THE CROWD TO STOP ASSAULT OF A WOMAN

Monica is reflecting on a moment when she left the stage to go into the crowd of the Riverfront Music Festival to stop the assault of a woman. Appearing on CNN Primetime, Monica wanted to ensure the woman was not harmed. Simply put, I didn’t want to see her hurt or harmed, and her not make it back home after coming just to be a concertgoer for myself and Ashanti who was also on the show,” Monica said. “These concerts have become what almost feels like a dangerous space and place, and I just really want that to change.” Monica stated that her instincts kicked in but that does not make her a super hero. “I did what I would hope that someone would do if they saw that happening to my aunt or mother. She’s definitely elder. And there was a level of fear there for me, just watching what appeared to be a situation that could have been escalated even further, I was simply trying to de-escalate it.Monica was performing at the Riverfront Music Festival in Detroit when she noticed a woman get punched in the crowd. She stopped her performance to address the fan.
