Several stars have encountered fans throwing objects at them during concerts. Typically flowers are thrown on stage but there’s also been countless times bras and panties are seen flying in the air. Of course, other fans just take things way too far and that’s exactly what happened at Bebe Rexha’s latest concert.
The singer was in the middle of performing during her NYC show when a fan threw a phone in her direction. Now, we’ve seen fans do this before… hoping that the entertainer picks it up and records a cute video for the memories. However, that’s not what happened this time.
In a now-viral clip, the phone that was thrown by someone in the crowd hits Rexha directly in the head. She instantly holds her face in pain and then falls to the ground. She was immediately rushed off stage to seek medical attention. One report claims that she was taken to a local hospital and had to receive three stitches.
So Who The Heck Threw The Phone?
According to ABC News7, 27-year-old concertgoer, Nicolas Malvagna of Manalapan, New Jersey, is responsible for striking the star. The news site reports that he has since been charged with assault.
As of this Monday morning, Malvagna is still in police custody and is expected to be arraigned later today.
While Rehexa’s team has not yet released a statement on the star’s condition just yet, fans are reacting online to the fan’s reckless behavior. One person said, “I don’t even listen to bebe rexha but y’all hurting her during her show by throwing a phone at her face??????? Have some decorum.” A second said, “But why y’all do that? Like, keep your fucking phone in your hand or motherfucking pocket, bitch. I hope they arrested him 🤬@BebeRexha you don’t deserve this, I hope you ok 🙏🙏.” A third added, “Wow, this is so vile, nasty, and disturbing. Bebe Rexha doesn’t deserve this at all. I hope she is ok, and I hope the person who threw the phone gets charged with assault.”
