It’s no secret that pop artists Sam Smith and Kim Petras shocked millions with their performance at the Grammy Awards earlier this month, but it turns out that many viewers took their complaints to the federal government.
According to TMZ, some viewers filed complaints with the Federal Communications Commission over the sex-soaked display that was full of overtly Satanic artistic motifs, including devil horns, BDSM-style bondage, cages, and lots of red latex and flames.
The outlet has obtained 18 complaints filed with the agency by viewers who took issue with the suggestiveness, as well as the “DEVIL WORSHIPING ACOLYTES” depicted on stage, as one outraged complaint described them.
“I am filing this complaint because of the vile, despicable, and downright disgusting performance, last night on the 2023 GRAMMY AWARDS SHOW, featuring SAM SMITH AND KIM PETRAS. It was wrought with evil imagery, and depicted DEVIL WORSHIPING ACOLYTES writhing around on the floor virtually naked, and in CAGES,” one viewer wrote.
“Satanic worship and innuendo on the 65th Grammy show. I have stopped watching ABC network. I am very disappointed in CBS. The vulgarity, the Satanic worship, and audience participation was shocking,” another wrote.
One complaint specifically noted the fact that CBS’ Twitter account openly admitted being “ready to worship” ahead of the performance.
“Sam Smiths Grammy performance of ‘Unholy’ was not fit for prime time public television. There was zero warning of the satanic ‘worship’ (as CBS themselves called it in a tweet) my family was about to witness,” another complaint said.
One parent made the keen observation that the performance, which featured two artists who consider themselves to be what gender theorists define as “gender nonbinary” — Smith identifies as “non-binary” and uses the pronouns “they/them” while Petras identifies as transgender — was explicitly designed to defy religious conventions.
This is a powerful point to make when we consider that the underlying philosophy behind gender theory and the widespread acceptance of homosexuality and “nonbinary”/transgender gender identities does explicitly refute traditional sexual ethics as outlined by the Bible and other religious texts that would otherwise describe these lifestyles as sinful or wrong.
