Pop star Bebe Rexha was hit in the face by a cell phone while performing at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City on Sunday night. The incident occurred as Rexha was performing her song “Meant to Be”. A cell phone was thrown from the crowd and hit Rexha in the face, just below her left eye. Rexha was visibly shaken and fell to her knees in pain. The show was stopped briefly while Rexha was attended to by medical personnel. She was later seen being escorted off the stage by her crew.
It is unclear who threw the cell phone or why. However, the incident has sparked outrage among fans and celebrities alike. Many have taken to social media to express their support for Rexha and to condemn the actions of the person who threw the phone.
This is not the first time that a celebrity has been hit by a cell phone while performing. In 2017, Taylor Swift was hit in the head by a phone while performing in Australia. In 2018, Selena Gomez was hit in the face by a phone while performing in Mexico.
These incidents are a reminder that it is important to be mindful of your surroundings when you are attending a concert. If you are going to throw something on stage, make sure it is something that the performer will appreciate, such as a rose or a piece of paper. Do not throw anything that could potentially harm the performer, such as a cell phone or a bottle.
