Brazilian fans paid $400 for a meet and greet with Avril Lavigne. This included taking a photo with her to commemorate the special occasion. The only catch was the peasants weren’t allowed to touch or hug her unless she initiated the contact which made for some stellar photographs.
I’m not sure what would have happened if they did touch her. Would she have started freaking out and screaming, “Unclean! Unclean! Unclean!,” while frantically scrubbing herself with a Wet Wipe like how all my dates end after the goodbye hug? Maybe.
What is up with shaming her for not wanting hundreds of people to touch her? You don’t know what may have happened in her past. She’s allowed to have boundaries even though she’s a celebrity. I wouldn’t want a ton of strangers touching me for hours.
She charged $400 for each photo/ “meet and greet”. Obviously she wants money, it’s the only reason she did this. If she didn’t want people touching her, she shouldn’t have done a photoshoot. It’s kind of expected that you’re able to get a hug from your favorite celebrity at these kinds of things.
Weren’t they already aware of her rules before they paid? It seems implied here that they did.
Because of her “no touching” rule, all of those photos look terribly awkward, and I would not be proud to show those off if I were a fan. I would never pay that much to stand beside someone, ridiculous, what is she afraid of catching? Her music is already terrible.
If you pay $400 to meet Avril Lavigne, I don’t have any sympathy for what happens next.
