Over the weekend, a video showing Miley Cyrus being groped and kissed by a stranger after her performance at Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona on May 31 was shared to Twitter.
The clip began with Cyrus, 26, husband Liam Hemsworth and their security guards walking through a rowdy Spanish crowd. While she is standing behind Hemsworth, the video shows the singer being quickly grabbed around the neck and pulled closer by a fan, who proceeds to kiss her.
The Party in the U.S.A. singer publicly addressed the incident on Tuesday in a tweet, which also featured the disturbing video.
“She can be wearing what she wants,” wrote Cyrus. “She can be a virgin. She can be sleeping with five different people. She can be with her husband. She can be with her girlfriend. She can be naked.”
“She CAN’T be grabbed without her consent,” she wrote. “#DontF**kWithMyFreedom.”
