“Bebe was amazing — but at the end of the show as she was leaving the stage, somebody threw what was apparently a phone and hit her right in the face,” fan Brian Good, 48, of Kearny, New Jersey, told The Post Monday morning. “She staggered around, fell down, and her people pulled her off the stage. Scary. Police were coming into the building as we left, and we think maybe an ambulance came, too.”
Below Bebe Rexha’s left eye, she received a hit that required immediate assistance from her crew members. Videos circulating on social media captured the moment, depicting the Grammy-nominated singer holding her cheek while the concert attendees chanted her name. An eyewitness stated that she remained down for approximately half a minute.
Forebodingly, earlier in the show, the platinum blonde headliner had to stop a song mid-performance because people were fighting and asked security to split them up: “Half-way through the set and people are already fighting, welcome to New York,” Rexha told the audience. However, the star posted a photo of her injury to Instagram early Monday, declaring: “Im good.”
