It took her down to her knees and several stagehands and bodyguards came out to assist her. She ended up canceling meet and greets after the show, and was taken to get stitches.  As for who and why…27-year-old Nicolas Malvagna was quoted by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office as saying: “I was trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny.” But his lawyer yesterday told TMZ: “As a fan, Mr. Malvagna’s sole intention was to have Ms. Rexha take photos with his phone, and return it as a keepsake. It was never his intention to injure Ms. Rehxa.” Well now he’s charged with two counts of assault in the third degree, one count of harassment in the second degree, one count of aggravated harassment in the second degree and a count of attempted assault in the third degree. Rexha was back onstage for her tour stop in Philly.
