She explained in a subsequent video that the incident had occurred during a photo opportunity. She added that she was doing “OK” following the strange encounter.

“I managed to get away and he ended up leaving, so it’s good,” she said. “But I just want to put a PSA out there, I am a hugger. I’ve always been a hugger when it comes to my fans but going forward I would love if we just stick to handshakes just to be safer and to have a little bit of a boundary.
