Saudi star Waad faced backslash after her unexpected joke during her 'Abha' concert in Saudi Arabia.

Waad received lots of negative comments on social media after her not so smart comment during the concert, as she joked saying "If there was a Batman jumping on us, tell us" referencing her fear from the repetition of the covered girl incident that unexpectedly hugged Majid Al Muhandes in his Al Taef concert.

Many commentators mocked Waad's joke,that was for women only, many commented that her choice of words was not smart at all, specially that the girl who was involved in the incident is now facing legal trouble because of her not responsible act, while others said that Waad's words could encourage other teenage girls to do similar acts with other on stage performers.

In another story, the girl who hugged Majed Al Muhandes during his "Souq Okaz" Al Taif concert, is currently facing accusations of harassment, is waiting for her Court trial in Saudi Arabia and is facing the harassment punishment which reaches up to two years in prison and 100 Thousand Riyals penalty, specially that she admitted hugging the Iraqi star after a bet with her friends and how negatively her act was recieved with many considering it affects society's morals badly.
