Avril Lavigne confronts topless protester onstage at Juno Awards

Avril Lavigne confronted a topless protester onstage at Canada’s Juno Awards this week – see what unfolded below.

During the ceremony on Monday (March 13), Lavigne was introducing a performance when a topless protestor appeared behind her.

Facing away from Lavigne and the camera, the protestor’s back was emblazoned with a message. It read “save the green belt” in protest of a new housing development plan by government in Ontario, which would build houses on protected land.

As CBC News report, Lavigne said to the protestor: “Get the fuck off,” later referencing the incident again when accepting the award.

She said: “Now nobody try anything this time. I’ll fuck a bitch up.”

Elsewhere, Mod Sun recently publicly commented on his break-up with Avril Lavigne. The pair had got engaged in March 2022 after just over a year of dating, but it has since been reported that they have called their engagement off.

In a new post on Instagram, Mod Sun appears to have addressed the break-up alongside a series of recent live photos.

“In 1 week my entire life completely changed…I just know there’s a plan for it all,” he wrote. “I’ll keep my head up + always listen to my heart, even when it feels broken 💔 Being surrounded by love every night on tour has been an absolute blessing. I have the best friends in the entire world, thanks for always having my back. See you on stage.”

Late last year, Avril Lavigne released a new collaborative single with Yungblud called ‘I’m A Mess’.
