Demi Lovato is currently promoting her new album and upcoming tour with Nick Jonas, so it’s not surprising that she’s making lots of unannounced appearances lately.
What is surprising is Demi’s choice of backup dancers for some of those performances:
Yes, as you can see from the clip above, Demi isn’t the only thing that popped up unexpectedly at a male strip club in New York City last night.
Demi has been a vocal supporter of gay rights throughout her career, so it’s no great shock that she chose a club with a mostly gay clientele.
No, what’s caused this video to go viral isn’t the venue, but Demi’s awkward interactions with the dancer sporting an obvious erection.
Given that Demi’s new single is called “Confident,” in a sense, the very excited guy up front was the perfect choice to join her on stage.
In another sense, he’s a sweaty dude with a giant boner who attempts to grab her by the back of the neck at one point. Not cool, Boner Dude.
While Demi’s dong proximity is obviously the most noteworthy thing about this video, some fans have pointed out that there’s some serious hypocrisy on display as Demi – who’s often spoken about the importance of body positivity – watches as the only dude who’s not rocking a chiseled six-pack is escorted from the stage.
Needless to say, this performance didn’t go quite as planned.
