Doja Cat slams 'crazy' fan as she claims he kissed and touched her without permission during viral encounter
Doja Cat sparked intense debate online after accusing a fan of touching her without permission during a recent encounter outside an event.
The moment went viral on TikTok after the fan Pablo Tamayo posted a video showing himself excitedly interacting with the singer outside a venue.
'I'm about to give Doja Cat my shirt, cause she's the iconic girl,' Pablo says in the video before taking off his shirt and handing it to her.
He then hugs her as she wraps a leg around his waist, and places his hands on her shoulders while they continue talking.
Pablo captioned the clip, 'When Doja Cat likes your shirt, you give her your shirt' and 'Love you @dojacat.'
After the clip gained traction, Doja Cat addressed the incident in a since-deleted tweet on X, writing: 'bottom line is i'll smile at you but it doesn't mean I fu– w you and don't touch me and man handle me when you don't even fu–in know me. Iykyk.'
She elaborated further: 'i honestly think I need to stand up for myself in the moment sometimes. and he didn't even know my fu–in name to be touching me and kissing me on my face like that is crazy.'
She added, 'I threw that musty ass shirt away btw.'
In follow-up posts, Doja responded to fans' questions, writing, 'he did [smell good] but i don't like how comfortable he was touching me and kissing me without asking permission.'
When someone asked why she seemed to enjoy the interaction, she replied, 'I was very drunk idk what to tell you.'
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives of Doja Cat for comment.
Fans were quick to weigh in on social media.
One wrote, 'doja HATESS her fans,' while another said, 'She's villainizing you for her not being able to enforce her boundaries.'
Others were more sympathetic to the fan's perspective.
'Imagine meeting your favorite artist, then logging on to social media to see her talking sh** about you and being musty. I would be embarrassed,' one commented.

Still, some came to Doja's defense.
'I don't think nothing what she is feeling is wrong at all, she was just playing it cool on camera and knowing how ppl switch stories,' one fan wrote, adding, 'She sure is a good actor because I thought this was a cute fan moment.'
They continued, 'I think it's such a big misunderstanding, she's very valid for feeling violated and he thought it was all good vibes and his intentions seem pure fan love. I hope they talk and resolve this, I don't see no wrong sides. Just miscommunication. Don't send hate to neither.'
Pablo responded to the backlash with a follow-up TikTok addressing the controversy.
'I just wanna clear this up because it hurts,' he said. 'I love her… I just think it's crazy because she's the one at this event that's being so nice. She pointed out my shirt and said, "I like that."'
He explained that she asked for the shirt after learning it was from his new Pride collection.
'Now, she's on Twitter saying she 'threw that musty shirt away,' that I didn't know her name, that I manhandled her. I understand, guys, if I was being too nice or whatever. I will take full accountability.
'I'm gay! I would never want to make her feel uncomfortable, she's so iconic, I've only been saying the nicest things about her.'
Pablo continued, saying he 'would have never wanted to make her uncomfortable,' and added that he wouldn't have shared the video /if she hadn't said yes…
'I apologize if I did anything wrong at all, but guys, I'm a human being too, but maybe this just shows that not everybody's who they say they are in person.'
In a cheeky move, Pablo is now selling a t-shirt with the phrase 'Musty ass shirt' printed on it.
He promoted the new merch in a TikTok captioned, 'She wants to promote her album, I'll promote my clothes.'

America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Season 2 Review
Season 1 Season 2 Episode Guide Promise Yourself Part 1 Promise Yourself Part 2 Someone's Daughter At What Cost The Happiest Girl In The Whole USA Refresh and Reboot Saturn Returns America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders immediately captivated audiences when it dropped on Netflix last year. Raw, intimate and unflinching in its portrayal of cheerleaders; DCC picked up the baton left behind by Cheer (Netflix's other flagship cheerleading series) and absolutely run with it. The series looked into the toxic nature of cheerleading, the unenviable work ethic and grit needed to make it into the big-time, and the disparity in pay and limited lifespan in the limelight. The show worked well, exposing the cut-throat world of show business in a way that few other shows on the platform have in quite so unflinching ways. Season 2 then basically takes what worked in season 1 and repeats the process. Here, DCC are rebuilding their new team. With many veterans leaving for greener pastures, there are 13 open slots and around 500 candidates to choose from. Kelli Finglass is in the driver's seat as Senior Director once more, with Judy Trammel working as Head Choreographer. These two are eventually joined by a larger panel of judges, intent on finding the right fit for the team as things start to get intense. The first 5 episodes essentially work as the auditioning process, with judges scrutinizing every routine – both solo and group performances – before settling on their chosen cheerleaders. It's not all sunshine and rainbows of course, with some pretty heart-wrenching moments as people are cut. Episodes 3 and 4 have the most brutal moments in that respect, while episode 5 finally sees the team formed and the bonding start. This is where the football season begins too, and there are little scandals thrown in along the way. In episode 7 for example, an issue involving one of the girls, Chandi, looks set to destroy the equilibrium of the group. Balancing that though are moments of genuine beauty and fearlessness. Seeing Armani embrace herself and step out into the limelight in the way she does (I'm being careful not to reveal spoilers!) works really well and it's topped off by some returning faces from the past too. One point to note though comes from the fiscal responsibility that DC have to pay these girls what they're worth. I will say that the show finally addresses this elephant in the room, with multiple episodes discussing how the girls feel about their pay-cheques. Toward the end of the show we do get some clarity around this that should help settle the debate a bit, but I can't help but feel this is more of a knee-jerk reaction to public outrage rather than a genuine proactive move. Or maybe I'm just being cynical, I'll let you guys be the judge of that! Regardless of what you think about cheerleaders or the cheerleading profession, these girls work damn hard – and deserve to be paid accordingly. Their grit, determination and tenacity are admirable, and Netflix's series once again does a great job of capturing all of this in its rawest form.

Nezza's Spanish anthem at Dodger Stadium ignites debate over team's immigrant support
As fans removed their caps and stood for the national anthem Saturday night at Dodger Stadium, they were met with a surprising rendition of 'The Star-Spangled Banner.' Latin pop and R&B singer Nezza stood in front of the crowd, closed her eyes and belted the song out — in Spanish. Her 90-second rendition, and a behind-the-scenes video she shared on social media of team representatives discouraging it beforehand, quickly went viral and have become a flashpoint for Dodgers fans frustrated by the team's lack of vocal support for immigrant communities impacted by the deportation raids across the U.S., including numerous neighborhoods in and around Los Angeles. Protests over the arrests made by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have captured international attention and mostly been held in areas a short drive from Dodger Stadium. Nezza says even after the discouragement from the team's representative, she hadn't yet decided whether to sing in English or Spanish until she walked out onto the field and saw the stands filled with Latino families in Dodger blue. 'This is my moment to show everyone that I am with them that we have a voice and with everything that's happening it's not OK. I'm super proud that I did it. No regrets,' the 30-year-old singer told The Associated Press. The team has yet to make a statement on the record regarding the arrests and raids. Manager Dave Roberts has said he doesn't know enough about the issue to comment, but Dodgers hitter Kiké Hernández separately spoke out on Instagram over the weekend. 'I am saddened and infuriated by what's happening in our country and our city,' he said in a post in English and Spanish. 'I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart. ALL people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights.' The response to Nezza's anthem performance In her viral TikTok video, Nezza is shown speaking with an off-camera Dodgers employee who tells her, 'We are going to do the song in English today, so I'm not sure if that wasn't transferred or if that wasn't relayed.' She's received an outpouring of support since Saturday from celebrities like Jason Mraz, Kehlani, Chiquis, Ava DuVernay, The Kid Mero, Becky G and more. 'Don't you dare turn your backs on us now. We, as a city, have embraced you and need your support more than ever. Think about who fills up your stadium,' said Becky G, addressing the Dodgers in her Instagram story. The Spanish-language version Nezza sang, 'El Pendón Estrellado,' is the official translation of the national anthem and was commissioned in 1945 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt from Peruvian-American composer Clotilde Arias. Nezza says her manager immediately received a call from an unidentified Dodgers employee saying their clients were not welcome at the stadium again, but the baseball team said in a statement to the AP: 'There were no consequences or hard feelings from the Dodgers regarding her performance. She was not asked to leave. We would be happy to have her back.' The Dodgers' history with Latinos and immigrants in Los Angeles Dodger Stadium has a long history with immigrant communities in Los Angeles. Many proudly wear Dodger blue jerseys and merchandise as an extension of their love for the city — the team still sells special 'Los Dodgers' jerseys on its official website — and attend the stadium's multiple heritage nights honoring Mexican, Salvadoran, Guatemalan and more immigrant communities, including those from outside Latin America. The Dodgers' fan base is heavily Latino, and the team is among the select few to offer Spanish-language television broadcasts. The franchise is also frequently praised for its history seeking out diverse talent, including Jackie Robinson (baseball's first Black player), Fernando Valenzuela (a Mexican icon who transcended baseball) and Chan Ho Park (the first Korean in the big leagues). But the relationship is not without tension, with some Mexican American and Latino residents resentful of the team's forceful eviction of Latino families in the 1950s to build Dodger Stadium in what is popularly known as Chavez Ravine. Fans have since called for a boycott online, while others say they'd be willing to return if the team spoke out. 'We love you. You've been so much a big part of our lives. … We would like to understand that you love us just the same. Or are we just money to you?' asked Power 106's Brown Bag Mornings host Letty Peniche in an Instagram video. Los Angeles resident Alora Murray is considering a temporary boycott. 'Nobody is messing around about this,' said Murray. 'Los Angeles is built upon the Dodgers. For them to not kind of be with us, I feel like us boycotting or not going to games will send that message.' Fans cite inconsistencies about the Dodgers' political stances Many in the Latino community have been sharing videos of stadium security confronting fans who have political signs or messages on their clothing. Longtime Dodger fan Emeli Avalos says she doesn't believe the team is apolitical since they released a statement to condemn Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. 'If it's really about staying out of politics, then why do they support that? But when people down the street from them are getting taken, kidnapped, why do they stay silent?' she said. Avalos attended Pride Night on June 13 wearing a shirt that said 'Abolish ICE' on the front and 'FDT' — an acronym for an expletive directed at President Donald Trump — on the back. In a popular TikTok video, Avalos is seen speaking with Dodgers security. She says she thought she was going to be asked to leave but was instead asked to cover the back of her shirt with her jersey. 'They told me, 'The front is fine, you just gotta cover the back,'' said Avalos, who said she will not be returning to the stadium. Another video of a fan being confronted by security for holding a banner with 'ICE' crossed out circulated online over the weekend, furthering criticism of the team. When asked about the incidents, a Dodgers spokesperson pointed to the team's stadium guidelines, which state the team 'does not allow signs or banners of any kind.' Also prohibited is any attire the Dodgers deem — at their sole discretion — to be obscene, profane, vulgar, indecent, violent, threatening, abusive or prejudiced against any individual or group. Nezza does not think she will return to the stadium, despite the Dodgers' statement, but says she hopes her performance will inspire others to use their voice and speak out. 'It's just shown me like how much power there is in the Latin community,' she said. 'We gotta be the voice right now.'

EXCLUSIVE How dancer Kayla Radomski won over Hollywood star Jason Segel as couple confirm engagement
Jason Segel 'has never been happier' after proposing to his girlfriend of two years, Kayla Radomski. The actor, 45, popped the question to the professional dancer, 34, on Monday, exclusively reported. Just days before the proposal, the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star accompanied Kayla to an event for luxury skincare brand Cotrini at the Saddle Ranch in Hollywood. The party was hosted by Scheana Shay and Janet Caperna of Bravo's The Valley and Vanderpump Rules and was attended by various cast members from both shows, making Jason a surprising guest given his much larger celebrity status. 'He was there to support Kayla, who was Scheana's choreographer on The Masked Singer,' a source told While the happy couple made no mention of engagement plans to guests, they were completely inseparable from the time they arrived until they left. 'They were holding hands most of the time and were almost joined at the hip - it's clear that Jason's absolutely smitten with her,' said another source. 'He didn't act like he was too big to hang out with reality stars or anything like that. He was there to support Kayla and was happy to chat to anyone and everyone,' they added. Another source close to the couple shed some more light on how Kayla was able to win him over. 'Obviously she's beautiful, but he really respects that she's a hard worker and is genuinely talented,' they said. 'He really loves watching her dance and is inspired by how passionate she is about the arts.' Last year, Kayla starred in the short film Ukrainian Dance Movie, which celebrated the Ukrainian spirit in the face of war. According to the source, those closest to the couple were completely caught off guard by the engagement. 'We all knew that Jason was head over heels for her, but we didn't expect them to get engaged,' they said. 'Everyone's really happy for them, it was just a big surprise!' The Shrinking actor proposed to the professional dancer amid a romantic setting at The Huntington Library in Pasadena on Monday evening. The couple were first linked back in 2023 - and made their red carpet debut together last year during awards season. A source told 'The proposal occurred in the Huntington Library's rose garden, and was captured by a photographer hired by the actor.' Radomski said 'yes' to Segel and 'the teary-eyed couple enjoyed a private dinner together in the Huntington Library's rose garden' afterwards. Both Jason and Kayla also took time to express their gratitude towards employees who had helped set up for the big moment. Kayla officially confirmed the engagement news on Wednesday when she posted photos of the happy moment to Instagram. 'Forever yes!' she gushed in the caption. The lovebirds were first romantically linked in October 2023 when they were spotted during Hollywood Horror Nights at Universal Studios. At the time, they were seen holding hands as they strolled through the crowded amusement park. In early 2024, Segel and Radomski made their red carpet debut at the Golden Globe Awards as she cheered on the actor who was nominated for his role in Shrinking. The two cozied up together at the event as they paused for a brief photo session before the main ceremony kicked off. At the time, the actress had also jumped to her main Instagram page to share snaps from the night - and also penned a sweet tribute to Segel. 'WOW..... @jasonsegel I am so incredibly proud of you!!!! What a dream. You are absolutely one of the hardest working and most deserving humans on this planet. My Golden Globe Nominee!' She added, 'I love that we got to spend a whole day celebrating YOU and your talent!!! I love you so much baby!' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kayla Radomski (@kaylaradomski4) The same month, the couple walked the red carpet once again as they made an appearance at the 2024 Emmys. On social media, Kayla gushed that she is 'always amazed watching your drive and love for what you do. You inspire me every single day.' She continued, 'I cannot wait to continue to watch you thrive and create more magic throughout your life. Thank you for loving me and being the best man this lady could dream up. I love you.' Despite their few red carpet appearances, Segel and Radomski mainly keep their romance out of the spotlight. On a couple occasions, the dancer has uploaded sweet selfies of the couple as they spend quality time together. Last year in April, the pair showed off their toned figures as they whisked themselves away for a tropical vacation. And later that year in November, the lovebirds cozied up together for another photo as they bundled up in the cold weather. In the caption, the beauty penned, 'FULL OF LOVE,' alongside red heart emojis. While it is not known when exactly the pair struck up a romance or first met, Kayla is no stranger to the entertainment industry. She starred in the fifth season of So You Think You Can Dance back in 2009 - and came in fourth place. Radomski is also a former backup dancer for Taylor Swift, and joined the Grammy winner as well as Bredon Urie for their performance of ME! at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards. On the big screen, she has also had the chance to showcase her dance skills - such as the 2024 short film Ukrainian Dance Movie. And in 2019, she made a brief appearance in Quentin Tarantino's movie Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood. In one scene, she could be seen dancing next to Leonardo DiCaprio. Segel is also known for his successful career which kicked off when he starred in the short-lived series Freaks And Geeks. He then played Marshall Eriksen on the beloved show How I Met Your Mother from 2005 through 2014. Jason has also starred in films such as Knocked Up (2007), Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), Despicable Me (2010) and Bad Teacher (2011). The actor is currently working on the Apple TV+ series Shrinking alongside Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, Michael Urie and Christa Miller. The show has been renewed for a third season. Segel previously dated his Freaks And Geeks co-star Linda Cardellini after the show was canceled following one season. He has also been in relationships with Michelle Williams and photographer Alexis Mixter before beginning a romance with Radomski.
