Bebe Rexha shares first photos of gruesome injuries after a fan hit her in the head with a phone on stage during concert
BEBE Rexha has updated fans with photos of her injuries after being rushed to hospital yesterday evening.
The singer was taken for treatment after being hit in the face by a phone during a concert on Sunday.
Bebe, 33, performed at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City yesterday, but cut her performance short after being struck by a cellphone.
She was hit in the face at approximately 10pm, WABC reported.
Bebe has now posted two new photos on Instagram of her injuries, along with the caption: “I’m good.”
In the first pic, the star gave the camera a thumbs up and a small smile, but sported heavy bruising around her eye and medical tape on her brow.
The second photo seemed to have been taken immediately after the incident, with Bebe still wearing glittery stage makeup.
The snap showed her eye beginning to swell, with a cut running straight through her eyebrow.
Police have arrested and charged Nicolas Malvagna, 27, from Manalapan, New Jersey, with assault in connection to the events.
Malvagana was quickly identified and charged with felony assault, with an arraignment set for Monday afternoon.
Fans in the comment section rushed to support the star, with one writing: “You did not deserve that, omg I’m glad you’re okay.”
