The woman grabbed McGraw in the crotch area at the close of his set Saturday as the 40-year-old country singer walked between the barricade and the stage to greet fans.
McGraw's wife, Faith Hill, who also performed on the Soul2Soul tour stop, berated the woman from the stage, calling her actions disrespectful.
"Someone needs to teach you some class, my friend," Hill said.
Clips of Hill, 39, singling out the woman were posted on various Web sites, including YouTube and TMZ.
"Within an hour, that video made it around the world," said C.J. Clement, who hosts a morning talk show on 99.9 FM KTDY with longtime partner, Debby Ray.
On Monday, female callers supported Hill's decision to confront the woman, Clement said.Photos: A Star For Tim McGraw
"Most said they were embarrassed this happened in Lafayette," he said. "They sided totally with Faith defending her man, standing her ground."

- Faith knows Tim loves her. What they have is the real deal. Faith knows how crazy Tim's fans are. I'm sure she's used to women giving Tim the hawk eye. An insecure woman would have had a catfight over it. Faith handled it well. So the girl copped a feel. All her gal pals got a nice giggle over it. Tim won't need therapy. Everything carries on as usual. If Tim wants to cheat on Faith, he has ample opportunity.

- If it had been a man groping Faith's crotch the police would have swarmed on him like flies on a rib roast!!

"Woman fondles man, they call it fondling (USA Today headline writers). Man fondles a woman and they call it sexual assault, sexual battery or worse. USA Today is guilty of stupidity in this one. Both are to be called sexual assault and prosecuted equally." - Reply to this comment
- I want to commend Faith, for having the class and dignity enough to just verbally berate the woman. Had it been me, girlfriend would be nursing a black eye!!!

- Im gonna tell you that the way that Faith haddled it just shows how much class she's gotten since going big. To tell you straight where I come from if someone touchs whats yours, they better be ready to get something broke. Plus if it was anyone else but a celebrity what would they call someone groping you? Oh yeah that's right, sexual harrassment and I do believe people get taken to court for that sort of thing.

- GunOwnerDan: I feel your pain!!! lol... I went down to Tijuana with some guys back in '97. As my friends were walking ahead of me, I was aproached by lady, who seemed kind of desperate in her offerings. As I was trying to politely turn her down, she got a little more aggresive and grabbed my manly pride, still trying to persuade me. I told her that I didn't have any money. Which was true, since about an hour earlier I loaned all the money that I had to one of the guys so that he could get "some"!!!

- Funny. Was Tim in tears for being violated? He got the gal all worked up. That's what all the female members of the audience are thinking anyway.

- One time I was groped by a complete stranger.
I wasn't sure whether to feel violated or to ask her for more! - Reply to this comment
- He shouldn't wear such tight pants. Better yet, he shouldn't put a cucumber in his pants like the rock stars used to do.

Faith should have done more than point her finger!
She should have used the microphone that she had in her hand and wacked her.
What a tacky, classless, crude thing to do to any man that you are not personal with and then the man that is clearly attached to Faith at the hip.- Reply to this comment
- Good for Faith. Handled like a lady. The groper got off easy and is lucky Faith is a lady. Another might have reached out and personally touched the nasty woman to make a point.
