A woman grabbed by a man while grocery shopping has shut down online commenters who claimed she “asked for it” because of her outfit.

A US woman whose bum was grabbed by a man while she was grocery shopping has been forced to shut down social media users who claimed she “asked for it” because of her outfit.

Daisy Delacroix shared CCTV footage of the moment an unknown man walked up behind her and touched her bottom as she walked down a supermarket aisle.

But the model was then horrified when some social media users – mainly men – claimed Daisy “asked for it” because she was wearing a crop top and bike shorts.

“Just because women choose to show skin will never make it OK to ever sexually assault women,” she wrote on a TikTok video of her wearing a string bikini while making a coffee.

“It will never make it OK to grab any woman just because of our bodies.

“Learn self control. It’s disgusting how some of you think it’s OK to touch a woman just because she’s showing skin.”

Daisy had previously shared the shocking surveillance footage of the incident which occurred in a California supermarket earlier that day.

In the clip, Daisy can be seen pushing a shopping trolley while browsing in the chilled meat section.

The man – who is wearing a hoodie and has not been identified – is seen walking up behind Daisy before assaulting her.

In the video, she’s clearly startled and walks off, scolding at him as she puts distance between them.

“This man walks up from behind, touches my butt and whispers in my ear, ‘What’s up baby?’” she wrote on the video, which has clocked more than 2.5 million views in less than 24 hours.

“I was in complete shock. I can’t stress this enough, please be aware of your surroundings.”

But while many were rightly stunned by the video, several male commentators were less than sympathetic, New York Post reported.

“You’re not at Gold’s Gym. Wear clothes and this won’t happen,” one sniped.

“Why would you wear that to go grocery shopping? You wanted the attention,” claimed another.

A third tried to state Daisy was “asking for it” before another man said: “If she respect herself he will not touch her. I personally will never let my wife wear these kind of clothes.”

Daisy wasn’t having a bar of it, responding in the comments that any claim she was at fault for her outfit was “disgusting”.

“Some of you men are outright disgusting in these comments. Don’t tell me I shouldn’t be wearing this,” she said.

“I’m wearing a crop top and biker shorts. It’s men like you are the problem. And that’s just scary.”

Many supported Daisy, stating: “It doesn’t matter what she’s wearing, it’s wrong.”

“I can’t believe people are saying it’s what you’re wearing, what is wrong with people?” one wrote.

“This has NOTHING to do with your outfit. It’s all his own doing. He’s an adult and knows right from wrong. I’m so sorry this happened to you,” another said.
