Rebecca Baby Protests Assault With Bold On-Stage Act

Despite the assault, Rebecca made the difficult decision to return to the stage. In a powerful act of protest against the sexualisation of women’s bodies, she removed her top and completed her set topless. Her bold move was meant to challenge the audience’s perception and raise awareness about consent. “I’m faced with a choice. 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,” she shared in a now-deleted Instagram post recounting the incident. Semi-Nude Anti-Fascist Protest in Paris: Women Protesters Go Topless, Raise Slogans Against Fascism Near Eiffel Tower.
