Singer Bebe Rexha hit on the head with cell phone
(Courtesy of @giiikondrackiii via Spectee /TMX) Singer Bebe Rexha was hit in the head by a cell phone during her performance at Pier 17 in New York on Sunday, June 18, when a fan threw it onstage.
Bebe Rexha believes she was the victim of a hate crime and was discriminated against because of her ethnicity.
The pop star shared a series of emotional videos in her Instagram story on Saturday documenting the incident at Munich Airport.
“The supervisor on the Lufthansa flight is threatening me,” she said tearfully into the camera, her makeup smeared under her eyes.

Rexha addressed the German airline directly and wrote in her story: “@Lufthansa, I was threatened because I thought the security guard was Albanian. I spoke to him in Albanian and asked him where to get my ticket and now he is banning me from boarding the flight.”
“I believe this is a hate crime because I am Albanian,” Rexha claimed in a written statement. Rexha’s family is of Albanian descent and she was born in Brooklyn, New York.
“He wouldn’t let me take his name. He continued to psychologically abuse me to make me feel like he was more powerful than he was.”

“I have never been so emotionally drained,” the “I’m Good” singer wrote in another story. “@Lufthansa sent me a direct message, but I urge them to conduct a full investigation to find out who this man is who abused his power. An ‘I’m sorry’ will not be enough this time.”
