Sex Pistols singer Frank Carter kicked out a male concertgoer<\/a> who entered a women-only mosh pit during the band\u2019s Colorado show<\/a> on Friday night. <\/p>\n

Carter, 42, called out the man from the stage after spotting him in the designated women-only space, designed to give women a safe area to mosh without being intimidated by men. <\/p>\n

Sex Pistols lead singer Frank Carter fired up at a fan who seemed to take issue with the womens-only mosh pit. \u00a0YouTube\/Tony Cera<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time, there\u2019s always a f–king man that tells me, \u2018[women] can do this all the f–king time.\u2019 Like, they can\u2019t. They f–king can\u2019t,\u201d Carter shouted as videos of the incident surfaced online. <\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know why? Because they walk in the mosh pit and they get a f–king elbow to the head by a f–king idiot!\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

The disagreement between the fan and Carter only escalated as the concertgoer appeared to shake his head in disagreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re shaking your head like you\u2019re a f–king woman? Are you f–king stupid? It\u2019s not your lived experience, so just shut the f–ku p!\u201d Carter yelled. <\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know what, instead of crouching, just f–king leave, bruv!\u201d <\/p>\n

Each of Carter\u2019s impassioned statements was met with applause from the rest of the concert crowd. <\/p>\n

\u201cHow is it so difficult for you to see space made for women at a Sex Pistols gig? Did you decide? No!\u201d Carted shouted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can\u2019t f–king do this whenever. Ask any one of them if they feel safe in every mosh pit!\u201d <\/p>\n

Just as Carter seemed ready to move on with the show, he snapped again as the man appeared to roll his eyes. <\/p>\n

\u201cRoll your f–king eyes at me. You f–king did this. You did this!\u201d he shouted. <\/p>\n

It was then that Carter called on security to officially kick the man out of the venue. <\/p>\n

Carter later addressed the controversy in an Instagram post<\/a> and made it clear he was not changing his stance. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are a man who gets offended by a band making room for a female only mosh pit then you are PART OF THE PROBLEM,\u201d he wrote. <\/p>\n

\u201cStay home, read a book by Bell hooks, come back when kindness, compassion and empathy have landed with you.\u201d <\/p>\n

Carter explained the womens-only space also extended to the trangender community as an inclusionary space. \u00a0Instagram\/@frankcarter23<\/p>\n

Carter added\u00a0that \u201cincels, homophobes, misogynists, racists, fascists\u201d were not welcome at Sex Pistols shows. <\/p>\n

He clarified that the reserved space was also open to the transgender community. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I say a Ladies only mosh pit pit. I of course mean a trans inclusionary space. The space is for people who don\u2019t usually feel safe,\u201d he wrote. <\/p>\n

Carter also shared a message he claims he received from the man\u2019s father who apologised for his son\u2019s behaviour. <\/p>\n

\u201cFrank – let me apologise that was my idiotic son who decided to make a stand last night in Denver about the womens mosh pit. <\/p>\n

\u201cWasn\u2019t how he was raised, wasn\u2019t what he was taught.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"Frank<\/p>\n

Carter shared this message he claimed to received from the father of the man that instigated the concert back-and-forth.\u00a0Instagram\/@frankcarter23<\/p>\n

The father blamed \u201cthe misinformation and poison that been spewed into young and old people\u201d for his son\u2019s behaviour. <\/p>\n

\u201cI watched the women during their time and saw all of them having so much fun and I wonder years from now what they will do from your encouragement to try something they may have always wanted to but didn\u2019t feel safe trying to do,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

Carter joined the reunited Sex Pistols as its lead singer in 2024, replacing original frontman John Lydon, also known as Johnny Rotten. Lydon last performed with the band in 2008. <\/p>\n
