Bebe Rexha Halts Concert to Kick Out Aggressive Fan Days After Social Media Rant

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Bebe Rexha is not tolerating any nonsense at her concerts.

The songstress, 34, kicked out an aggressive audience member at her Saturday, July 6 show in Norway. An unruly fan attempted to throw an object at her, and Rexha halted her show, as seen in a video going viral on TikTok.

"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 shouted to the crowd. The audience immediately cheered for Rexha's no-nonsense attitude, assisting the "I'm Good (Blue)" singer with finding the culprit. "Which one?" she can be heard asking fans, adding, "Point to the person. I want to see them."

Once she found him, Rexha yelled, "Out! Get the f*** out! That's it. It's done for you." As security came to take them away, Rexha told the rest of the audience, "Say bye bye!" and they parroted it back. The aggressive fan was reportedly seen attempting to jump over the barricade by the stage.

Just last summer, Rexha had to get stitches because of someone throwing an object at her from the audience. At a New York City show in June 2023, she was performing at The Rooftop at Pier 17, when a cell phone was thrown at her face by alleged assailant Nicolas Malvagna. The force of the hit left Rexha on the floor in pain. She ended up with a black eye, and had to go to the hospital for multiple stitches. Malvagna was arrested and charged with assault, but ended up with 40 days of community service due to a plea deal, per Page Six.

Last month, Rexha was again attacked by a concertgoer in Wisconsin who threw something at her as she was performing on stage. She had to stop her show to call the police to come and arrest the culprit.

However, rowdy audience members are not the only thing Rexha has been speaking out about. Tuesday, July 2, she took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to call out the music industry as a whole. "I could bring down a BIG chunk of this industry. I AM frustrated. I Have been UNDERMINED," she wrote.

"I've been so quiet for the longest time," she wrote, adding, "I haven't seen the signs even though people constantly are bringing them up and they have been SO OBVIOUS. And when I have spoken up I've been silenced and PUNISHED by this industry. Things must change or I'm telling ALL my truths. The good the bad and the ugly."
