Rebecca Baby, lead singer of French pop band Lulu Van Trapp, made headlines by courageously protesting sexual harassment during a live performance. While descending into the crowd at the Le Cri de la Goutte festival in Ain, France, multiple audience members allegedly groped her. Rather than stopping the show, Rebecca confronted the issue head-on with a powerful act of defiance.
After briefly addressing the audience and sharing what had occurred, Rebecca removed her top and finished the concert topless. “I’m faced with a choice,” she explained in an Instagram post (now deleted). “Either I stop the concert and everyone loses, especially me, or I continue. I’ll stay topless until it’s normal. Until your brains get used to it not being sexual.”
This bold gesture reignited widespread discussions about consent, bodily autonomy, and the safety of women in public spaces—especially at live events.
The Le Cri de la Goutte festival organisers condemned the assault and affirmed their commitment to creating a safe environment. Their official Instagram post expressed full support for Lulu Van Trapp and Rebecca, calling the behaviour “unacceptable” and “in direct contradiction” with the festival’s values of respect, inclusion, and safety. The statement emphasised that music should unite people, not serve as a platform for violence.
