Delta Goodrem has revisited her infamous 'concert scandal' where she was brutally shamed for her dancing abilities.
In 2014, American actor Marlon Wayans, 52, was standing next to the Born to Try singer, 40, at a Beyoncé concert in Los Angeles and shared a photo of her dancing to social media.
'Man I got the most UNRHYTHMIC WHITE WOMAN dancing next to me at the jay and bay concert... this b***h dancing to AC/ DC ',' he wrote at the time.
Delta has now broken her silence about the shock incident and revealed while she initially found it humiliating, she came to see the experience as 'liberating' for a very surprising reason.
'I'd always been a bit shy to dance. That freedom the moment gave me... Someone keeps pressing a certain point, saying, "You can't dance",' Delta told Daily Mail's The Life of Bryony podcast.

Delta added a result of the Scary Movie actor publicly humiliating her was that she no longer feared people's criticism.
'Now I could dance in the street, I could dance right here. I could show you all my dance moves. I have no fear when it comes to dancing,' she said.
'All because I'd been completely humiliated. Thank you, now I can do an entire dance routine in my shows, I am ready to go!'
In August 2014, Marlon and Delta were brought together as they both attended Jay Z and Beyoncé's On The Run tour in Los Angeles.
Marlon was seen with a startled expression on his face as he watched the Innocent Eyes singer groove along to the music.
Delta was seen smiling and throwing her hands in the air, seemingly oblivious to the comic's picture taking.
She was at the gig in Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium with her close friend Renee Bargh, while the White Girls actor enjoyed a family night out - taking his son Amai to his very first concert.
Delta also shared a snap at the event, uploading an image of Jay Z and Beyoncé performing on stage as she gushed about the show.
After Marlon posted the picture, the songstress' fans rushed to her defence, with one fan writing 'that b***h you're standing next to is one of Australia's famous singers'.
Another added 'that girl can dance! Should have gone to specsavers Marlon Wayans. Do you realise this is Australia's most successful musician?'
However, some laughed along - with one Instagrammer joking 'I've seen her dancing on The Voice. It's horrendous.'
Delta is one of Australia's most decorated female singer-songwriters.
The former partner of Westlife singer Brian McFadden signed her first recording contract at only 15 years old and her 2003 debut album 'Innocent Eyes' topped the Australian charts for 29 weeks.
Her most recent album, Bridge Over Troubled Dreams, was released in 2021 and reached number one in Australia.
