Man who hit Bebe Rexha in the head with phone tries to get plea deal Twitter: PopBase \/ LinkedIn: Nick MalvagnaBebe Rexha was left with a black eye after a fan threw his phone at her. Now the culprit is looking to strike a plea deal and have all criminal charges dropped. Bebe Rexha had to be rushed off stage to receive medical attention while performing during her nationwide Best F\u2019n Night Of My Life tour across North America. The cause? A tossed mobile phone that left the singer needing stitches. 27-year-old Nicholas Malvagna was the man behind the phone and has since been charged with assault and aggravated harassment. Now his lawyer, Todd Spodek, has hinted at a plea deal that will see all criminal charges dropped. Malvagna made an appearance in court with his parents shielding him from reporters. He has remained adamant that he threw the phone in hopes of getting Rexha to take a photo, claiming a TikTok trend served as inspiration. \u201cI thought she was looking in my direction. I was about two rows back, but instead of my phone landing right next to her, my phone hit her in the face,\u201d Malvagna allegedly told arresting officers. \u201cIt\u2019s a TikTok trend where you throw your phone onto the stage, and a celebrity passes it and takes a selfie.\u201d At the time of Malvagna\u2019s arrest, Spodek released a statement that reiterated the incident as an unfortunate accident, \u201cAs a fan, Mr. Malvagna\u2019s 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.\u201d \u201cAt this point, we have not received any evidence to support the charges and are considering all relevant motions,\u201d Spodek told The New York Post after a brief hearing. \u201cI anticipate a resolution short of trial, with all of the criminal charges being ultimately dropped.\u201d For all the latest entertainment news, be sure to check out our page here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
