Bebe Rexha gave fans an update on how she’s recovering after a concertgoer threw a phone at her face during a recent performance.

“I’m good,” the pop star, 33, wrote via Instagram on Monday, June 19, alongside two selfies showing her black eye. In one snap, she gave the thumbs up sign as she displayed the bandage over her right eye, where she got stitches. Rexha also shared a TikTok video of her injuries after the incident, adding the caption, “I’m okay you guys.”

Rexha was on stage at a concert in New York City on Sunday, June 18, when a member of the audience threw a cell phone at her from the crowd. Video from the performance shows Rexha clutching her face and falling to her knees after the phone made contact with her head. Another video showed the singer waving to fans as members of her crew escorted her off stage.

While she hasn’t gotten a black eye from a fan before, Rexha has previously opened up about her experience with overzealous listeners.

“One time I was at a hotel and I got a phone call from a fan who wanted a signed T-shirt from me. This girl figured out where I was staying and my room even though I didn’t have my room under my name,” Rexha told British GQ in June 2018. “I offered to send her one but then she told me she was actually in the lobby. She said she would come up to my room. I was freaking out! I sent someone to the lobby to give it to her.”
