Per WABC, a 27-year-old man named Nicolas Malvagna was arrested and charged with assault after it was determined he intentionally threw the phone at her.

"Right in the eye. I would never. Do you know how many people dream of going to a single concert in their lifetime and then some idiot does this. So disrespectful," one user said.

Another fan referenced singer Steve Lacy, who faced some criticism for smashing a fan's camera that was thrown on the stage last October.

"This why Steve lacy reacted the way he did btw," another wrote. "the fans are too damn comfortable throwing things on stage."

Some recent concertgoers have tossed their phones at artists performing in the hopes that they'll record a video or take their BeReal, and while it's sometimes done successfully, Rexha's injury proves this trend has gone too far.

Unfortunately, it isn't just phones and cameras that have caused chaos on stage, as other performers have suffered injuries from various random objects inexplicably thrown by fans.
