'I can't get another bruise.'
Following the incident, a spokesperson for the NYPD told ET,"On Sunday, June 18, 2023 at approximately 10 p.m., police were notified of an assault that occurred at the concert space of Pier 17 located at 89 South Street, within the confines of the 1st Precinct. A preliminary investigation on scene determined that a 27-year-old male intentionally threw a cell phone at a 33-year-old female performer on stage, striking her about the face.
ET confirmed 27-year-old Nicolas Malvagna from Manalapan, New Jersey, was arrested and charged with felony assault for allegedly hitting Rexha with the cellphone. He was arraigned and released on his own recognizance and a full temporary order of protection was issued. His next court date is July 31.
In the complaint, it states Malvagna 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." Malvagna's lawyer, Todd Spodek told ET,"Nicolas, like many other fans, was hoping to interact in some way with Ms. Rexha as the phone was returned. It was never his intention to injure Ms. Rexha in any way."
Rexha shared a follow-up video with fans to TikTok where she showed her inured eye but assured fans,"I'm OK you guys." In the video, she sings,"I'm good, yeah I'm feeling all right." "Although the show ended in an unfortunate way it was still an amazing show in my hometown. Thank you so Much New York. I love You. The Tour must go on!!! Philly next! Which show you coming to?! #bestfnnightofmylifetour," she captioned the post.
