You know Pink — the queen of defying gravity.
Well on Thursday, she clapped back in a lengthy Instagram caption at an article that insinuated she canceled her Sydney concert to go to the beach, saying this:
I don’t need to clear this up, but out of respect for my fans I will attempt it. I scheduled this tour meticulously, trying to do what was best for my children, while also putting on the best and most physically demanding and beautiful show of my life. This break in Byron has been scheduled since 2017, as a way to get outside the hotel and the winter and have some time with my children. I’ve already been sick twice (kids as well)on this Australian tour, but the first time we got sick, I was able to push through. This time, what these parasite paparazzi don’t show you, is two doctor visits in Byron on two consecutive days, antibiotics, steroids, Vick’s, nose spray, throat spray, more steroids, NyQuil, a screaming baby in the middle of the night, every night, while mama gives him warm baths and tells her daughter everything is fine. You can think whatever you want, it’s your right, but I have never taken advantage of any one in my entire life. I have never fucked off while disrespecting hard working people who spend money to come see me play. I have never phoned in a single tour, I have an impeccable record for not cancelling. I mother with everything I have whilst handling all the rest. The snark in this is unbelievable and makes me long for a nicer world. I’m doing the absolute best I can, and you can believe it or not. What they don’t show you in this picture is me drinking water and lying down while my friends try to entertain my 7 year old who is asking me why these creepy men are surrounding us and pacing back and forth and taking pictures of her every move. I will see everyone tomorrow whether I’m better or not, and the postponed show will be rescheduled. As I said, I’m sorry to the real fans who this situation has affected. Onwards and upwards.
If you're like me and hate long captions, it's basically her saying a) she has an impeccable record and would never "fuck off" on tour b) she's been sick multiple times, which the paps don't show c) this stop at the beach has been planned since 2017, so she could see her kids.
Now, celebs and fans alike are rallying around Pink on the Instagram post. She and Justin Timberlake had a nice little moment:
Other celebs — like Andy Cohen, Heather Dubrow, and Kyle Richards — also showed their love for Pink:
And, of course, the fans were here for Pink 100%.
Honestly, though, who knew that the comment section of Pink's Instagram would be, like, the purest place to be in 2018????????
Either way, I'm here for it and here for Pink shutting down the negativity!
