Rolling Stone reported that a preliminary investigation by the NYPD “determined that a 27-year-old male intentionally threw a cell phone” at Rexha. Nicolas Malvagna was taken into custody and arraigned on Monday evening on June 19, 2023, when he was charged with two counts of assault in the third degree, as well as one count of harassment in the second degree, one count of aggravated harassment in the second degree and a count of attempted assault in the third degree. He was freed without bail following an arraignment Monday.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office said that the assailant not only confessed to throwing the phone. He also stated, “I was trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny.”

In a statement provided to NBC News, attorney Todd Spodek said: “As a fan, Mr. Malvagna’s sole intention was to have Ms. Rexha take photos with his phone, and return it as a keepsake. It was never his intention to injure Ms. Rehxa.” The criminal complaint says the incident caused the pop star “redness, swelling, bruising, and a laceration to her eye and substantial pain.”

A video of the moment was captured and posted on social media. Fans were quick to send their well wishes to the “In the Name of Love” singer. “Always killing it Bebee!! We love youuuuu🤍 a living LEGEND,” one fan commented on her post. “this is legend behaviour!!! put RESPECT on bebe rexha’s name. she is NOT THE ONE TO PLAY WITH!!,” another fan commented.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Bebe talked about touring for the first time in seven years. “I haven’t felt that energy, and I feel like it’s so important to be in front of people and performing and connecting,” she says. “You can’t describe that, and it’s just not the same when you listen to it on your computer versus live.”

Bebe’s Best F*N Night Of My Life tour ends on June 26, 2023 in Houston, Texas.
