Bebe Rexha is taking a firm stand against concertgoers who throw objects at her during performances. Over the weekend, the 34-year-old singer-songwriter had a fan removed from her show in Norway after they allegedly attempted to toss something at her from the crowd. Videos posted online capture the “I’m the Drama” singer halting her performance to address the unruly fan and threaten legal action.
“If you hit me with something on stage, I’ll take you for everything you’ve f***ing done. Do not f***ing play with me right now,” Rexha declared, visibly upset. She then demanded the crowd to identify the culprit. “Which one? Point me to the person. I want to see them,” she said. “Out. Get the f**k out. That’s it. It’s done for you.”
The crowd quickly pointed out the individual, who was then escorted out by security as the audience booed. “Goodbye,” Rexha said into the mic, echoing the sentiments of the crowd. This incident is not an isolated one for Rexha, who has previously dealt with similar situations.
In June 2023, Rexha was injured during a New York City show when a fan threw a cell phone at her, hitting her in the face. The impact was so severe that she had to be taken to the hospital. The New York Police Department confirmed that Nicolas Malvagna from Manalapan, New Jersey, was arrested and charged with felony assault for the incident. Malvagna reportedly told police, “I was trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny.”
More recently, during a concert in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Rexha had to stop her performance when she noticed audience members throwing items at her. “Out, out,” she said in videos from the event. “Or if you want to hit me in the face, I pressed charges to the other guy — I would love to become richer. So go right ahead.” She quickly clarified that she was joking and not inviting such behavior.
Rexha’s zero-tolerance policy for such actions is understandable given her past experiences. The singer has made it clear that she will not hesitate to take legal action against anyone who endangers her safety during a performance. Her strong stance serves as a warning to fans that such behavior will not be tolerated.
The recent incident in Norway is just another example of Rexha’s commitment to maintaining a safe environment at her shows. The singer’s reaction was swift and decisive, ensuring that the disruptive fan was removed and the performance could continue without further issues.
Rexha’s firm stance on this matter is a reminder to all concertgoers to respect the artist and the performance. Throwing objects on stage not only endangers the performer but also disrupts the experience for other fans. Rexha’s actions serve as a deterrent to anyone considering such behavior in the future.
In addition to her zero-tolerance policy for object-throwing, Rexha has also been vocal about her frustrations with the music industry. In a series of posts on social media, she expressed her feelings of being undermined and silenced. “I could bring down a BIG chunk of this industry. I AM frustrated. I have been UNDERMINED. I’ve been so quiet for the longest time,” she wrote. “Things must change or I’m telling ALL of my truths. The good, the bad, and the ugly.”
Rexha’s willingness to speak out against both disruptive fans and industry issues highlights her determination to stand up for herself and her career. Her actions serve as an example to other artists and fans alike, emphasizing the importance of respect and safety in the entertainment industry.
As Rexha continues to tour and perform, it is clear that she will not tolerate any behavior that jeopardizes her safety or the enjoyment of her fans. Her strong stance on this issue is a testament to her commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone in attendance.
In conclusion, Bebe Rexha’s recent actions against a disruptive fan in Norway underscore her zero-tolerance policy for object-throwing at her concerts. Her firm stance serves as a warning to all concertgoers to respect the artist and the performance. Rexha’s commitment to maintaining a safe environment at her shows is a reminder of the importance of respect and safety in the entertainment industry.
