"Let's just get the facts straight - the fans were and always are respectful and amazing - the issue was the multiple fully grown men that were blocking the doors of the hotel and the car for 10 minutes not letting us or security out" he wrote. He said they were not fans but stalkers who show up wherever they want to meet someone, doing the same thing to everyone just to get content. He added that it was neither safe nor okay, and that such behaviour ruins the experience for real fans.
