Later, he reportedly said, “Let's just get the facts straight - the fans were and always are respectful and amazing. The issue was the multiple fully grown men that were blocking the doors of the hotel and the car for 10 minutes not letting us or security out - they are not fans they are stalkers that show up wherever someone they want to meet is and do the same thing to everyone to try to get content.”
“It is not safe and not ok and they ruin it for the real fans,” he added.
