Ocurrió durante un show de Queens of the Stone Age el sábado en Los Ángeles, donde el cantante de la banda stoner volvió a demostrar que es un violento. Solo que ahora cruzó los límites al meterse con una mujer.

Tal como se puede ver en el video de la nota, el cantante estaba tocando sobre el escenario cuando, sin razón alguna, pateó la cámara que Chelsea Lauren tenía apoyada sobre su rostro.

Thanks to @joshhomme @queensofthestoneage I now get to spend my night in the ER. Seriously, WHO DOES THAT?!? #joshhomme #queensofthestoneage #qotsa #qotsafamily #concertphotography #musicphotographer

La fotógrafa sufrió un fuerte golpe y, según sus propias palabras, pasó la noche en emergencias por la contusión. Tal como se ve en las imágenes, Homme le sonreía luego de haberla golpeado, hasta que se lastimó con un elemento cortante.

"Gracias a Josh Homme y QOSA porque ahora tengo que pasar la noche en emergencias. Enserio, ¿qué clase de persona hace eso?", expresó la muchacha.

En otra publicación, agradeció a todos los que la apoyaron tras el golpe del cantante, y dijo: "Mi cuello está dolorido, mi ceja magullada y tengo un poco de náuseas. El doctor me liberó temprano en la mañana".

La joven mostró tres imágenes: en dos de ellas muestra a Josh Homme en segundos previos a la patada, y luego, la sonrisa burlona. "Estaba en un pozo llorando y él solo me miró sonriendo", comentó. Además, dijo que ningún integrante de la banda se comunicó o solidarizó con ella.

Thank you everyone that has reached out with supportive messages. A small update, as I'm being flooded with questions: My neck is a sore, my eyebrow bruised and I'm a bit nauseous. The doctor released me early in the morning. Here are three images. Two of them as Josh looked at me, smiled and then kicked me. The other one is later after he cut his own face with a knife. I was in the pit in tears - and he just stared at me smiling. Assault in any form is not okay, no matter what the reasoning. Alcohol and drugs are no excuse. I was where I was allowed to be, I was not breaking any rules. I was simply trying to do my job. I hold nobody accountable for this but Josh himself. KROQ has nothing to do with this and I will always support them. The irony is someone had thrown an ice cube on to the very slick catwalk before the QOTSA set. I was afraid that one of the band members might slip and hurt themselves so, when the lights went dark, I used my arm to wipe down the runway so nobody would hurt themselves. Thank you to @variety for their immediate concern and care with this matter. As of now, nobody from QOTSA has reached out to me. #queensofthestoneage #QOTSA #JoshHomme

Pero intentando limpiar su imagen pública, el cantante de QOSA publicó un video pidiendo "disculpas", donde afirma haber cometido muchos errores en su vida y éste, sin duda, fue uno de ellos.

"Solo me gustaría disculparme con Chelsea Lauren. No tengo ninguna excusa o razón para justificar lo que hice. Fui un completo idiota, y lo siento mucho, y espero que estés bien", dijo, aunque nunca se comunicó con ella.
