Harry Styles graced the red carpet of the 2023 Grammy Awards last Sunday, but viewers witnessed a repulsive incident while he was there.

He was given the "Album of the Year" award for "Harry's House," but that evening, the alleged improper touch on the red carpet overshadowed his triumph.

According to a now-viral video of the event that has been circulating on social media, the "As It Was" singer was "inappropriately" touched by Kid Harpoon, the artist's producer.

Many people saw that the British musician appeared "uncomfortable" as Kid put his hand on Harry's backside.

Harry appeared to have moved so that Kid would take his hand off as the two posed for photographs, while the 40-year-old producer appeared to enjoy the attention.

Kid seemed to have informed him something serious as he turned away from Harry. Then, the "Don't Worry Darling" actor was left alone in front of the cameras and instantly dropped his smile.

Fans claim that despite the singer's sexual orientation, it was obvious from the expression on his face that the alleged "groping" was inappropriate for him.

"This is wrong; Harry deserves more, 'Me too' is for guys too," said one individual.

Another person said, "It doesn't matter what his preference is-none that's of our business, but judging by the way his jaw clenched afterward, he didn't enjoy the contact."

A third individual commented, "He was obviously uncomfortable with the scenario and that's all that mattered."

The singer is said to be overly affectionate with many people, therefore many claimed there was nothing wrong with what was occurring on the red carpet because Harry Styles and Kid Harpoon are like "best friends."

"It's only offensive if the recipient finds it to be," as one person noted. "It's not for everyone to jump on the bandwagon and claim they are offended by it."

Another person added, "Y'all over process every single thing with celebs!"

"His 'Producer' is one of his closest friends! And he was probably trying to alleviate Harry's nerves by joking about!"

This comes after Harry Styles was accused with "queerbaiting," including dressing in a gender-neutral manner.

Harry Styles dismissed allegations about his true sexual orientation in a Rolling Stones interview.

"Sometimes people say, 'You've only publicly been with women,' and I don't think I've publicly been with anyone. If someone takes a picture of you with someone, it doesn't mean you're choosing to have a public relationship or something."

The 29-year-old musician also described defining one's sexuality as being "outdated," speaking in another interview with Better Homes & Gardens last spring, "It doesn't matter, and it's about not having to label everything, not having to clarify what boxes you're checking."
