Sam Smith appears to be harassed in Brooklyn park, called ‘pedophile,’ ‘groomer,’ video shows

In a video currently circulating on Twitter, the British pop star is seen typing on their phone, when a woman starts yelling vicious homophobic and transphobic insults at the singer.

Smith — who’s nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns — then proceeds to walk, apparently unbothered by the attack, while at least one other person appears to join in the chorus of hate.
