An Australia rapper says his wife is “distraught” after video emerged of the woman pushing a concertgoer off the stage at Gilligan's nightclub on Sunday night.

She was then pushed by the rapper’s partner Natasha Rayner, who appeared from the side of stage.

The push had enough force to send the woman off the stage and back into the crowd.

The incident was later confirmed by the rapper in an Instagram message shared with the Cairns Post which said his wife was “distraught” about the incident.

“No one should rush a stage and the young girl, everyone felt for, but my wife reacted out of instinct. I shut the show down to get her medical attention and physically put her on an ambulance. I then also attended to my wife who was distraught.

Natasha Rayner pushed a woman off the stage in less than three seconds after the woman jumped the boundary and headed straight to Ms Rayner's partner.

He said that he would ignore people who had “slandered” him online over the incident.
