Why Wasn’t Christina Grimmie Mentioned During the Teen Choice Awards?
Fans of the late pop singer Christina Grimmie have taken to social media to express disappointment with the Teen Choice Awards, which included a segment dedicated to gun violence but failed to mention the 22-year-old's tragic death.
Grimmie was honored with a posthumous win in the Choice Web Star: Music category, but the YouTube star’s victory was not acknowledged on air. Then, when Jessica Alba saluted victims of gun violence by calling victims of San Bernardino, Newtown and Orlando to the stage, she introduced Ne-Yo performing Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” but did not mention Grimmie.
