The teenage sensation took to Instagram to express her discomfort and discuss boundaries after one fan accidentally touched her without consent.

'Please don't grap my boobs. [I] keep playing this s*** cool but it is very much not (sic),' wrote Billie on Wednesday morning, in a now deleted post.

Billie continued: 'I think what happened last night was just an accident so I acted like I didn't notice cuz I didn't wanna make her feel bad if she didn't mean to do it. But if that s*** was [for real] I'm gone.'   

'Please don't harass the girl. It was just an accident and not that big a deal. She was very very sweet,' added Billie.
