Monica halted her Detroit show over the weekend after seeing a female fan allegedly being assaulted by a man in the crowd.
The singer not only stopped her show and called the man in question out, but she also jumped off stage and ran to the woman’s defence.
Monica had been performing at the Riverfront Music Festival on Saturday.
“You don’t hit no f**kin’ lady like that,” Monica insisted.
The “The Boy Is Mine” musician added, according to the Independent, “That s**t triggered me. I seen him punch that lady in the face, I lost my f**kin’ temper. I apologize ya’ll. I apologize from the bottom of my heart.”
Monica added: “I was gonna knock [his] ass out with this f**kin’ mic.”
Videos of the incident have been doing the rounds on social media.
She then spoke about the incident in a comment on The Shade Room’s Instagram post.
“I apologized there and I’m apologizing here for my actions but no one would take action!” the star commented, according to the Independent. “I was so triggered, I watched and she didn’t appear to even know him!
“It appeared to be about space during a packed concert!” Monica added. “He punched her with all his strength! My intentions were to prevent her from being hit again and she wasn’t! I asked for help, it fell on deaf ears! It was like seeing my mother or an aunt be assaulted!! This woman was 50 plus, I pray she’s ok!”
