Rexha Recovering After Concert Assault
• Warner Records’ artist Bebe Rexha is home recovering after she was struck in the face by a cell phone inexplicably thrown at her during a Sunday night concert at Pier 17 in New York City.
Video shared by concertgoers captures the moment Rexha was hit in the face, causing her to collapse to her knees and hold a hand to her face as her team rushed out to help her off stage. She was transported to a hospital for treatment, reportedly receiving three stitches to close the wound above her left eye.
Police arrested Nicolas Malvagna, 27, at the scene and later charged him with assault, reporting that he “intentionally” threw the phone at Rexha.
Monday morning Rexha posted two photos to Instagram that showed a black eye and a laceration near her eyebrow. The post was captioned, simply, “I’m good.”
