Casey Hatherly, who goes by the name Ever, hopped on the Junos stage on Monday night while the Canadian pop-punk star was introducing a performance.

Hatherly also made a court appearance Wednesday in Edmonton on a charge of mischief.

The 37-year-old from Vancouver said it was easy for her to get onto the stage before security escorted her away.

B次元官网网址淚 just walked up there,B次元官网网址� Hatherly told media outside court. B次元官网网址淚t was so easy.B次元官网网址�

She said she spent the night in custody and officers played LavigneB次元官网网址檚 2002 hit B次元官网网址淪k8er BoiB次元官网网址� while driving her to a remand centre.

B次元官网网址淓verybody there was very excited to meet me and wanted to talk to me.B次元官网网址�

Messages written on the protesterB次元官网网址檚 upper body read B次元官网网址渓and backB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址渟ave the Greenbelt,B次元官网网址� referring to OntarioB次元官网网址檚 decision last year to open a protected area of land for housing.

B次元官网网址淯nfortunately, only two of the messages really came through in the media so far,B次元官网网址� said Hatherly, adding that other words written on her body referred to the Trans Mountain Pipeline and old growth logging.

B次元官网网址淲e chose to do this event and I chose to go topless because we want the headlines,B次元官网网址� said Hatherly, who has been working with a group called On to Ottawa.

The interaction has made global international headlines, including on the BBC and in Rolling Stone and Variety.

At a press conference after the awards show Monday, Lavigne said the interaction was B次元官网网址渄efinitely one of the highlightsB次元官网网址� of her Junos experiences.

Lavigne took home the peopleB次元官网网址檚 choice award, making it her fourth win in the category.

Representatives for the Junos declined to comment on the protest and wouldnB次元官网网址檛 say if they are reviewing security protocols.
