A performance in pouring rain has now had unexpected consequences for Sarah Connor. Singer Senna Gammour criticises her for a gesture on stage.
At a concert, Sarah Connor was just about to sing her hit “Skin on Skin” when the rain started. To protect herself from the rain, she grabbed a towel. She draped the fabric around her head, covering her mouth and nose as well. “Great on top, ugly on the bottom,” the musician said to the audience with a smile on her face.
A statement that did not go down well with everyone. Singer Senna Gammour saw the gesture as an affront to women who wear a headscarf or a burka. She shared a social media recording of the scene on her Instagram channel – and found clear words in a video: “I wonder what is going on in Sarah Connor’s head. What we get is clearly a lack of respect for women who cover themselves, who wear a headscarf,” said the Monrose star.
The 44-year-old was particularly bothered by the words “top is great, bottom is bad”. “That is very negative, questionable, disrespectful,” said Gammour angrily. “A woman who publicly stands up against discrimination, actually stands up for human rights and publicly positions herself against the AfD: I would have expected better from her. You actually expect this move from the right-wing corner,” said the former casting show winner against Sarah Connor.
In her social media clip, Senna Gammour wished that Sarah Connor had “the balls” to explain her behavior – and she didn’t have to wait long for that. In her Instagram story, Connor defended herself a little later: “I would never discriminate against other women. This situation in the rain had nothing, absolutely nothing to do with hijabs or headscarves. It was only directed at me,” was her statement.
“All good on top, all bad on the bottom” is a saying that her mother always used when Sarah Connor and her siblings had a quick wash. Her performance in the pouring rain reminded her of this: “I was dry on top, soaking wet on the bottom and without pants,” explained the 44-year-old.
Sarah Connor not only used her social media channel to explain, but also launched a counterattack: “It’s shocking how many people believe a hate-mongering video that has been edited together and taken out of context and form an opinion based on it without asking questions or doing any research,” she publicly criticized Senna Gammour. She said she had received numerous messages with wild insults.
Sarah Connor received support from her sister Anna-Maria Ferchichi. The wife of rapper Bushido was also appalled by Senna Gammour’s clip. Her sister’s statements had been “taken out of context”. “Are you doing this on purpose? Or are you really that uninformed? The main thing is to always pour oil on something. You should be ashamed and apologize,” she said, attacking the musician.
Anna-Maria Ferchichi even called on her community to report Gammour’s video as hate speech on Instagram. She said she was glad that she had not yet met the Monrose star in person. Gammour, in turn, did not leave these words uncommented: “We’ll definitely see each other at some point,” she announced.
