In 2023, Bebe Rexha suffered a serious facial injury after a concertgoer threw a phone at her during a show. A year later, the pop star is no slouch when it comes to public misbehavior.
During the singer's Saturday show in Green Bay, Wisconsin, fan cameras captured Rexha directing security to escort a fan out of the venue. “Out, out,” he says in a clip posted on TikTok. “Or, if you want to slap me in the face, I had to press charges for the other guy — I'd love to be richer.”
As fans cheered, he clarified: “I'm not inviting it, please. It was just a joke.”
The fan who posted the video wrote that the “I'm a Mess” singer had to stop her performance two different times because people in the audience were throwing things at her. “Like 10 people were taken out because [of] throughout the show,” they added.
By “the other guy,” Rexha was referring to Nicolas Malvagna, who police arrested last year for throwing his cellphone at the musician's face while she was performing in New York. The Manhattan district attorney's office later said the attacker had said in his confession: “I was trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny.”
Malvagna was reportedly charged at the time with two counts of third-degree assault, as well as one count of second-degree harassment, one count of second-degree aggravated harassment and one count of attempted third-degree assault. Meanwhile, Rexha has been dealing with a serious eye injury, photos of which she shared on Instagram shortly after the attack.
“I'm fine,” she wrote at the time, showing off her deep purple bruise.
Rexha is fresh off the release of her new single 'Chase It (Mmm Da Da Da) on May 17th'. In 2023, her album was released Bebe.
