“There is an ongoing investigation into the events being conducted, and everyone involved is working hard to find out how this incident occurred,” she added. “Bringing this show to life for my fans has been such an amazing experience, and I’m so deeply sorry for anyone who was scared, felt unsafe or whose enjoyment of the show was affected in any way. ”
