Kehlani speaks out after she was allegedly sexually harassed by a fan while leaving a recent concert.

The “Nights Like This” singer, who uses “they”/”them” pronouns, shared an Instagram story on Monday night in which she said she was “endlessly triggered and speechless” after the encounter.

“I took one video after another and deleted it again because I don’t want a video of me being as angry, irritated, crying and upset as I am anywhere else,” Kehlani wrote, according to Screenshot circulating on social media. “I made one video after another and deleted them again because I don’t want to have a video of me anywhere where I’m as angry, irritated, crying and upset as I am.”

Kehlani, 27, continued: “This doesn’t give any of you the right to cross boundaries by putting your hands under my skirt and pulling on my underwear to TOUCH MY GENITALIA while I’m being escorted through a crowd after performing. This sh*t made me sick. As a victim of sexual harassment, I am endlessly triggered and overwhelmed.”

It remains unclear when the alleged assault took place, but the Grammy-nominated star was performing in Manchester, England, on the night of his Instagram post as part of his “Blue Water Road Trip” tour.

Kehlani has spoken publicly about her experiences with sexual assault in the past and said in her podcast Sunday Jewels in 2019 that they were victims of rape.

“I cannot say anything new that I believe offers a real perspective and that does not harm the discussion,” they said, according to Complex. “I don’t want to cause more pain, I don’t want to cause more suffering. I just want to say, ‘I send love to everyone who is on the healing path right now, and I send love to everyone who needs it. And if you apologize for abuse, you’re disgusting, suck my dick.’ You know what I mean?”

In an interview with BillboardKehlani offered words of support to other victims of sexual violence and reminded them not to “let trauma take away your strength.”
