Madonna made headlines last week when a video clip of the Queen of Pop mistakenly calling out a fan in a wheelchair for sitting during her performance circulated online. The fan who caught Madonna's attention has spoken out about the much-taked -about moment.
"What are you doing sitting down over there? What are you gettting sitting down?" Madonna was heard asking in the clip, singing out concertgoer Vanessa Gorman at one of her recent shows on the career-spanning Celebration Tour. Ther star then made her way to the edge of the stage to get a closer look.
When Madonna realized the woman was in a whellchair, she changed her tune, saying, "Oh, okay. Politically incorect. Sorry about that"
"I'm glad your here," Madonna said, directing her comment toward Gorman, who was interviewed about the viral moment on TMZ.
As a fan, Gorman admitted she was starstruck over being noticed - not offended - and said that she knew it was a mistake. In fact, in a video taken from her viewpoint, Gorman can even be heard shouting, "I love you!" to Madonna during the interaction.
"Some people 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 TMZ on Friday (March 15)
