AMERICAN Idol’s Scotty McCreery abruptly stopped his show at the Colorado State Fair to kick out a man who hit a woman.
The country star called the man the “definition of a coward” before asking security to escort the concertgoer out.
Scotty was performing his hit song It Matters to Her during the Colorado State Fair over the weekend when he halted his show after allegedly witnessing a man hitting a woman in the middle of the show.
The video of the incident by @b1ake_a2en circulated over TikTok, showing the country singer kicking the man out.
“That’s a lady you just hit, sir,” he addressed the concertgoer, adding, “Absolutely not.”
The 30-year-old asked the crowd to identify the man before asking security to kick the man out.
“She okay?” he asked before telling the man, “Get the heck out of here.”
“On God’s green earth, at a Scotty McCreery show? What are you doing?” he continued.
“Ya’ll let the cop know who hit the lady because that’s absolutely unacceptable.
Scotty went on to call the man “the definition of a coward.”
“Whoever you are, that’s the definition of a coward… hitting a lady. Get the heck out of here.”
The Damn Strait singer made sure the man was taken out before continuing the concert.
