Pop star Demi Lovato has urged her fans to take their "negativity else where" following a rude encounter in New York.
The Cool for the Summer hitmaker was in the Big Apple to promote her upcoming tour with pal Nick Jonas, when she found herself surrounded by a group of loyal followers who were eager to get close to their idol.
However, the 23-year-old noticed her fans were getting a little too rowdy, and instead of stopping to do a meet and greet she opted to bypass them in favour of both her safety and theirs - a decision which was met with harsh criticism from her fans.
Lovato later took to Twitter to explain her actions to her followers.
"I try my hardest to stop for as many fans as I possibly can before it gets too hectic or crazy," she wrote.
