Charli XCX Calls Out Dutch DJ Who Accused Her Of Masturbating On Air
attends the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards press day at The Forum on August 21, 2014 in Inglewood, California.
Iggy Azalea had a bad experience with some hyper-sexualized radio DJs last spring, but her “Fancy” partner Charli XCX might have topped her with this uncouth encounter. As Spin points out, during an interview on Dutch radio station 3FM, host Giel Beelen wished Charli “good morning in the most sensual way” before asking if she had her “hands on [her] body” and suggesting that she was “fingering [her]self.” Charli was rightfully pissed about it when she vented later on social media.
just got asked if I was fingering myself on the radio. s/o sexism. it's the best.

Even on Twitter, Beelen remained on the creep.

Hear the offending interview audio below.
If this results in Charli teaming up with Sky Ferreira for an anti-douchebag duet, well, at least something good will have come of it then.
