Taking to Instagram, Just Sam shared an unsettling video of them berating a woman at the Union Square Subway station in New York City. Sam could be heard yelling, “Back up,” multiple times. Parts of the video were hard to hear, but towards the end, the singer exclaimed, “You deal with that on your own.” Sam returned to their microphone and started singing Beyoncé’s “Irreplaceable,” as someone off-camera encouraged them to keep going. The Idol winner’s Instagram caption read, “I can’t believe this even happened,” with two face-with-rolling-eyes emojis.
Since the video only showed the aftermath, fans in the comments were left confused. Just Sam replied to one of those fans, explaining, “She put her hands on me and my sister,” referring to the woman whom Sam told to “back up.” Later, the American Idol winner posted a more detailed account of the situation on their Instagram Stories, saying the alleged attack was “unprovoked…NOTHING like this has ever happened to me before in all my many years of singing underground!!” Sam reassured everyone that they are “okay” and “always safe” because they “never ever go to the trains alone.”
