He wrote, "I have always been someone that loves, respect, worships our fans. Without our fans, we don't have a job - I say that all the time to our fans. To think that anyone would believe that I Thought our fans were beneath us or less than us makes my stomach turn. That's just not who I am, it's not who I've ever been.

"I just want you guys to know, I was really startled. And sometimes when you're startled, you have to shake it off and move on - because I'm doing my job up there. It's what I pride myself on, so I need to let you guys know what my heart is, and my heart is that connection that exists between the band performing on stage and the fans. I hope that we can all understand that."

Some fans defended Adam's reaction in the comments section of the viral TikTok video, one fan said, "She grabbed him. He was visibly uncomfortable. He's HUMAN. personal space is a basic right. You can't tell me you wouldn't feel 'icky' if someone grabbed you without your permission. Expecting celebrities to be above others is unfair and unnecessary," a third fan argued.
