Later, she added, "Racism and bigotry don’t care if you’re a headliner. Thank you summerfest. We will be filing a complaint against that bigoted "security" guard and I hope you’ll be cooperative in seeking justice."

Tonight was beautiful. You are beautiful. But the struggle ain’t over. Racism and bigotry don’t care if you’re a headliner. Thank you @summerfest. We will be filing a complaint against that bigoted “security” guard and I hope you’ll be cooperative in seeking justice. xoxo pic.twitter.com/bt3J5Cy1AS
