Celebrities Who Were Attacked by Fans On Stage: Photos of Bebe Rexha, Harry Styles, More

Florence Pugh

Flo got struck in the eye by an object while posing for a photo with her Dune: Part Two costars. The actors were promoting the film in Brazil and ​Timothée Chalamet, Austin Butler and Zendaya quickly stood by her side to make sure she was OK after being hit.

The Jonas Brothers

While performing in Sacramento, California, Nick Jonas had two bracelets thrown at him, as captured oncamera by another concertgoer. The Jonas Brothers’ member then stared at the crowd and mouthed, “Stop, stop, no,” and held his hands in front of himself as the second bracelet was thrown in his direction. Indicating that he was not having it with his hand gesture, Nick carried on singing.

Cardi B

The “WAP” rapper fought back after a fan threw a glass of liquid on her while she performed at Drai’s Beachclub in Las Vegas on July 29. Cardi lobbed her microphone into the audience at the direction of the person who threw it, and they were later escorted out of the venue. While performing “Bodak Yellow,” the Grammy winner reportedly asked the audience to splash her with water, but apparently, she was not happy when it actually happened.

That wasn’t the end of the story, as a woman filed a police report following the incident with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. It’s unclear if she was the person who threw the water or an innocent bystander who was hit by the microphone.

Latto

A fan threw an ​object while the rapper performed her set overseas at Rolling Loud Germany in Munich and ​she didn’t hold back her anger.

“Want your ass beat? Throw it again,” she addressed the crowd. “Throw it again, I’mma beat your ass.”

Harry Styles

The “As It Was” artist was hit in the face by a flying object as he finished his performance in Austria in July 2023. While Harry did not publicly comment on the incident, in video footage taken by fans, it’s clear that he was in pain before walking off stage.

Drake

The Canadian rapper was unharmed after someone threw a phone on stage during his performance in Chicago in July 2023. The cellphone hit Drake in the arm, but he quickly brushed it off and kept singing.

Kelsea Ballerini

The country cutie had an object thrown at her face during a June 28 performance amid her Heartfirst tour. “I’m fine. Someone threw a bracelet and it hit me in the eye, and it more so just scared me than hurt me. We all have triggers and layers of fears way deeper than what is shown, and that’s why I walked offstage to calm down and make sure myself, band and the crew and the audience felt safe to continue,” she wrote in an Instagram Story the next morning.

“That’s all I ever want, is for shows to feel like a safe place for all of us. I love you and appreciate your concern,” Kelsea added.

She then shared another Story where a fan wrote in the comments of another post, “Its sad that this happens but maybe she should stay true and not go woke,” as Kelsea wrote over the screen grab, “Also just gonna leave this right here. A sad, scary world we live in.”

Pink

A TikTok video quickly went viral in June 2023 of what appeared to be a bag of human ashes thrown onstage during Pink’s performance.

“Is this your mom?” the “Trustfall” artist asked a fan while holding up the bag. “I don’t know how I feel about this.”

Adam Lambert

Adam revealed on SiriusXM’s “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show” that an audience member once “threw a 12-inch dildo” at him. It hit him, but thankfully, Adam wasn’t injured.

“[It] bounced on the floor once and then flopped there for a minute like a dead salmon,” he said.

Kelly Clarkson

Kelly shared on SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show” that a fan once rushed at her while she was singing with her eyes closed. 

“This person on live TV on this show overseas rushed the stage and came up and hugged me and put their arms around me. But when your eyes are closed and you’re singing, you aren’t thinking anything,” she said. “It was very scary just because you think at that moment, I realized how vulnerable I was and I’d never thought like that before.”

Harry Styles

Among the strangest things thrown at Harry was a chicken nugget in New York City in 2022. That year, he also had a water bottle thrown right at his groin at a separate venue.

Bebe Rexha

Fortunately, Bebe didn’t sustain any life-threatening injuries after getting hit in the eye with a phone in New York City in June 2023.

Ariana Grande

Ariana handled a phone-hurling moment like a champ by giving the object back to the fan and telling them it was “dangerous” to do that in October 2015.

Demi Lovato

In 2012, the “Skin of My Teeth” artist had a bra thrown in front of her while performing.

Justin Bieber

Justin made his audience aware that he didn’t want anything thrown at him after a fan chucked their phone onstage during a July 2016 concert.

“If we can take this moment to listen and try not to give me a hat or whatever you’re trying to throw on stage right now ‘cause I probably don’t want that s—t,” he said at the time.

Bruno Mars

In May 2018, the “When I Was Your Man” artist had a pair of panties thrown his way while performing in the Philippines.

Sabrina Carpenter

In 2019, Sabrina saw a bra being thrown at her while singing, opening up about the funny moment to People that year.

“I was very proud of myself in that moment. I was like, ‘Wow. I think this is for me,’” she told the outlet. “I hung it up on my tour bus.”
