Shakira Robbed Mid-Concert By A Fan

What the hell? Safe to say this person is not a “fan”. Shakira was robbed mid-concert while she was performing in Monterrey, Mexico. She was working the crowds and walking amongst the throngs of people when all of sudden, someone ripped a ring off one of her fingers—you can see it very clearly in the video above. A hand comes out of nowhere and snatches the piece of jewelry right off. You can’t even tell if it was a man or a woman (or even a kid for that matter).

Got to hand it to Shakira, though. She looks a bit confused about how quickly it all went down, glances at her hand, and carries on singing. With that many people, it would be impossible to pinpoint who did it, anyway. She doesn’t even pause, which we’re kinda in awe of, because we’d be screaming bloody murder. We’re hoping it didn’t have sentimental value for her. Whoever the thief is —you know who you are and what you did — shame on you. [Photo: Getty Images]

UPDATE: As it turns out, Shakira’s ring wasn’t stolen, despite all the stories that said it was. The singer’s publicist, Joseph Carozza, has stated, “There is no truth to this report. A fan grabbed her hand and she looked down. Her ring is still visible on her hand as she continued to walk through the crowd.” That’s a relief!
