Avril Lavigne orders a topless woman off the stage during a protest at the Juno Awards

Avril Lavinge struggled with more than nerve when she presented at the Juno Awards in Alberta, Canada on Monday night (March 13).

The “Sk8er Boi” singer was on stage when a topless protester stormed the stage and began circling it while posing for the crowd.

Lavinge, 38, tried to continue with her speech before turning to the woman and saying: “Get lost.”

The singer then laughed uneasily as the audience cheered, before repeating: “Get lost, b****” as the woman was escorted off the stage by a security guard.

The unidentified woman, who wore pink trousers, a pink headscarf and glasses, was reportedly protesting the development work on the Greenbelt.

Accordingly CTV News Torontothe Ontario government has lifted regulations protecting 7,400 acres of greenbelt land.

The land has been developed for housing, with construction beginning in 2025, the outlet reports.

Last week, it was revealed that Lavinge was dating rapper Tyga after the pair were spotted kissing at Paris Fashion Week.

On the same day Lavinge and Tyga were spotted, Sun tweeted how “grateful” he was for “real friends.”

“I’m so thankful to have real friends who will talk to me on the phone for two hours,” he wrote.

“If you have these people in your life, don’t let them go,” he added.
