Bebe Rexha kicks out concertgoer for throwing objects on stage
Bebe Rexha removed a fan from a recent show in Wisconsin for throwing objects at her on stage. Watch footage of the incident below.
Over this weekend, the ‘Me, Myself & I’ singer performed at the Titletown Summer Fun Days Showcase. During her set, she stopped singing ‘I’m Good (Blue)’ – her Grammy Award-winning collaboration with David Guetta – to remove a disruptive person from the crowd.
“Out, out,” she can be heard saying in a video. “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, honey.”
She quickly added: “I’m not inviting that, please, I’m just joking. It was a joke.”
“Let’s stop the music. Let’s get the guy out. He’s ruining it for everyone,” Rexha said on stage in a video obtained by TMZ. “I’m not having this again. Like the police had to come, it didn’t have to get there. It didn’t have to go that far. I love you. I’m sorry, guys.”
Bebe Rexha had to stop her performance in Green Bay after items were thrown from the crowd.
The pop star instructed police to remove multiple audience members. This comes about a year after she was hit in the face with a phone at a show in NYC.

The incident happened almost a year after Rexha was struck in the face with a mobile phone during a show in New York City. Last June, she suffered an eye injury and was taken to hospital to get stitches.
After the incident, Rexha posted a photo on Instagram of her left eye, all swollen and bruised, with a cut just below her eyebrow. She captioned the picture, “I’m good.”
At the time, the NYPD confirmed that Nicolas Malvagna from Manalapan, New Jersey was arrested and charged with felony assault for hitting Rexha with the phone. They also reported that Malvagna told police he thought “it would be funny” to strike the pop star.

Malvagna was officially charged with two counts of third-degree assault, one count of second-degree harassment, one count of second-degree aggravated harassment and one count of third-degree attempted assault. Recently, he agreed to a deal to have his charges dismissed if he completes 40 days of community service and follows an order of protection for six months.
Two days after the assault, the New Yorker alluded to the incident while performing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While on stage, she asked the crew to tidy up the wiring because she almost “ate shit like three times”, joking that she “can’t get another bruise”.
Then she addressed the crowd, asking if they were “going to have a good show tonight?” After the crowd roared in unison, she added, “Just no phones on my face tonight, please, I beg of you.”
