Sabrina Carpenter Fans Claim a Woman Urinated in the Crowd at Concert: ‘I Got Peed on in the Pit’

A Sabrina Carpenter fan left quite an impression at a recent tour stop!

 

On Saturday, Nov. 9, fans who attended the 25-year-old “Taste” singer's San Francisco concert at the Chase Center alleged on social media that a woman watching the show from the 18,000-seat arena's floor “squatted down” and urinated on the concrete floor.

 

In one TikTok video, a concertgoer shows off a photo of the alleged puddle of urine on the floor as the crowd parted to make way for the mess.

 

"Imagine you are just patiently waiting for sweet baby angel Sabrina to come out on stage when all of the sudden [a] random girl squats down, takes off her underwear and pees all over the floor," the concertgoer wrote.

 

"At least the crowd had a good sense of humor about it after it was cleaned up…😭," she captioned the TikTok, which included photos of concertgoers posing with text on their phones reading: “I GOT PEED ON IN THE PIT TO SEE SABRINA.”

 

The TikTok user also alleged in a comment that the woman who urinated was kicked out from the show. "I have a video of her standing on the puddle and then security making her leave," she claimed.

 

Another TikTok shared by a concert attendee included an image of a Chase Center staff member wearing gloves and wielding a mop.

 

Representatives for the Chase Center did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Sunday, Nov. 10.

 

Despite the alleged pee incident in San Francisco, Carpenter has had an exciting week due to the Nov. 8 Grammy nominations.

 

Carpenter earned six Grammy nominations, including in the big four categories: album of the year (Short n' Sweet), best new artist, song of the year nod ("Please Please Please”) and record of the year (“Espresso”). Her album also nabbed a nod for best pop vocal album, while “Espresso” also received a nom for best pop solo performance.

 

The “Bed Chem” singer shared videos on Instagram showing her tearful reactions to the nominations from her tour bus. As the announcement for best pop solo performance nominees kicked off with Beyoncé and Carpenter, the musician and her friends screamed and clapped.

 

“Beyoncé and Sabrina Carpenter!” she yelled.

 

Elsewhere in the reaction videos, Carpenter said, “I don’t know how that’s possible,” and cried as her friends hugged her.

 

“Us on the tour bus this morning take a shot every time we scream like fr headphone warning,” the singer captioned the post. “This is the first year I’ve watched the live stream where I heard my name! I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t dreamt about this day my whole life so I am filled with gratitude - Thank you @recordingacademy :’)).”

SOMEONE RE-INVENTED THE TOILET SO YOU CAN DO YOUR BUSINESS ANYWHERE

Someone reinvented the toilet so that you can do your business anywhere

Innovative, unusual toilet incinerates waste, removes the stink

Have you ever considered how access to proper sanitation affects health, dignity and the environment?

 

In a groundbreaking move, the pioneering water and housing products company LIXIL secured its position as the first commercial license partner for the Generation 2 Reinvented Toilet (G2RT). This innovative off-grid toilet, developed in collaboration with Georgia Tech, is set to revolutionize sanitation practices worldwide. With billions of people lacking access to safe sanitation facilities, the G2RT offers a promising solution that could transform lives and communities.

 

What makes the G2RT special?

 

The G2RT is not your average toilet. It operates independently of traditional infrastructure, treating waste directly at the source. This remarkable technology eliminates the need for connection to sanitation grids or septic systems. The G2RT transforms solid waste into safe, compostable dry solids through high heat and pressure while purifying and recycling liquid waste for flushing. Notably, the process also kills harmful pathogens, significantly reducing the spread of waterborne diseases.

 

The journey to commercialization

 

LIXIL is moving swiftly to prepare for commercialization. With the ink barely dry on their commercial license, the company is already gearing up for the next phase. They are actively refining the technology to ensure that it is suitable for both private and public-sector use. LIXIL aims to have the G2RT market-ready within the next three to five years. This innovation has the potential to benefit the 3.5 billion people worldwide who currently lack access to safely managed sanitation services.

 

Why this matters

 

The G2RT represents more than just a toilet; it serves as a solution to a global crisis. By preventing water contamination, it reduces the risk of diseases like cholera and dysentery while offering significant savings in construction and installation costs. Furthermore, it brings sanitation to communities where traditional infrastructure is not feasible.

 

Kurt's key takeaways

 

By transforming a basic necessity into an advanced, self-contained appliance, LIXIL is not only innovating in toilet technology but also paving the way for improved public health, reduced environmental impact and enhanced quality of life for billions. The next few years will be crucial as LIXIL works to bring this game-changing technology to market, potentially ushering in a new era of sanitation accessibility worldwide.

CHICAGO MARKS 20 YEARS SINCE DAVE MATTHEWS BAND DUMPED 800 POUNDS OF HUMAN WASTE IN RIVER

Chicago Marks 20 Years of Dave Matthews Band Dumping 'Disgusting' 800 Lbs. of Human Waste in River

On Thursday, Aug. 8, the "Windy City" recalled the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band's infamous "poopgate" incident that occurred 20 years ago

Chicagoans today are remembering the sickening Dave Matthews Band incident from 20 years ago that got regrettably flushed into history forever. That's right, #poopgate.

 

Thursday, Aug. 8, marks the 20-year anniversary of the 2004 incident in which a driver (Stefan Wohl) for the band's tour bus unceremoniously dumped 800 lbs. of human waste from its septic tank onto Chicago’s Little Lady boat passing under the Kinzie Street Bridge.

 

Dozens who were onboard the sightseeing boat and many from the city still shudder at the mention of the messy mistake that they, as FOX 32 Chicago anchor Sylvia Perez puts it, "would like to forget."

 

The outlet recalled that Dave Matthews Band — known for their environmental activism — "created a foul footnote in Chicago music history" that fateful day, but the city continues to revisit it as a cautionary tale.

 

FOX 32 Chicago's Dane Placko resurfaced his original 2004 footage reporting on the "sickening soaking" this week, noting that it earned the infamous bridge incident a commemorative plaque and a sticker that reads, "I survived Dave Matthews Band Poopgate 2004."

 

"It was pretty... pretty disgusting," Sonja Lund, the captain aboard Chicago's Little Lady that day, said in an old interview. "I don't even know if I could describe to you how disgusting it was."

 

Dave Matthews Band's bus driver eventually pleaded guilty to the dumping on misdemeanor charges of reckless conduct and water pollution. According to the Chicago Tribune, he was sentenced to 18 months of probation, 150 hours of community service and fined $10,000.

 

Dave Matthews Band wasn't aboard the bus at the time of the incident, but the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees have since tried to rectify the mistake by donating $50,000 each to the Chicago Park District and Friends of the Chicago River, per NBC Chicago.

 

According to the outlet, Matthews, 57, continued to express remorse to the city of Chicago years after the incident, telling former WTMX radio host Cara Carriveau in a 2009 podcast interview, "I'll apologize for that as long as I have to."

 

"The bus driver lost his job, and I didn't have my finger on the button, but it was one of our buses —wasn't mine — but it was one of the buses in my employment, and so I feel bad about it," he added. "It would be funnier if it was anyone else but me."

 

Currently, Dave Matthews Band is on their summer tour, which wraps up in Washington on Sept. 1. They're also scheduled to perform at New York's Farm Aid festival later that month.

 

A dance party at Hideout Chicago is marking the city's 20-year anniversary of the dumping on Thursday with a sold-out event called "Don’t Drink the Water." Meanwhile, the city's sports team mascots commemorated the occasion with a viral video.
