Molly Meldrum “moons” crowd again
New footage has emerged of music icon Ian “Molly” Meldrum appearing to expose himself before urinating on the floor at a Rod Steward concert.
The Daily Mail Australia published a video and images of Meldrum, 80, allegedly pulling out his genitalia and relieving himself while he was seated in the crowd at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena.
“There were people everywhere. It was disgusting,” a witness told the outlet.
The indecent exposure comes after Meldrum sparked heavy backlash after “mooning” the audience while on stage at an Elton John performance.
Entertainment reporter Peter Ford addressed the situation on 2GB’s Ben Fordham Live.
“He has an acquired brain injury, we have to accept that,” he told the host, referencing Meldrum’s fall from a ladder in 2011.
“Molly’s always been given to sort of odd behaviour, but since that fall – which he almost died as a result of – his judgment has been impaired.”
Ford said he wasn’t “making excuses for bad behaviour”, and that Meldrum’s minders needed to take action.
“I do think they’ve got to look at what’s happening when he goes out on these excursions, because he’s not being supervised enough or he’s not taking that supervision or guidance. It’s not like he’s turning up at these events on his own.”
He went on to say he’d been given some insight into the shocking behind-the-scenes situation after Meldrum’s infamous Elton John stunt.
“I know after the last public incident with Elton, his closest minder called me and was furious with me for reporting the story,” Ford revealed.
“And they reminded me very clearly, the guy’s got an acquired brain injury – we take him out, and we can’t control what happens after that.”
