Singer Ava Max said she was attacked by an audience member during her performance Tuesday in Los Angeles.
“He slapped me so hard that he scratched the inside of my eye,” the “Sweet but Psycho” singer said of the attack at The Fonda Theatre
Max, 29, detailed the on-stage incident on Twitter Wednesday.
“He’s never coming to a show again,” she wrote, punctuating her feelings with red angry-faced emojis. Max also thanked fans “for being spectacular tonight in LA though!!”
It’s not clear how the man got on stage.
A spokesperson for Atlantic Records, Max’s record label, said Wednesday there is no further comment beyond Max’s tweet.
The incident comes days after singer Bebe Rexha was hit by a phone at her during a performance Sunday in New York City.
Nicolas Malvagna, 27, is accused of hurling the phone at Rexha, 33, during Sunday night at Pier 17.
He said he threw the phone at the performer because he thought “it would be funny,” according to a criminal complaint.
Malvagna was arraigned Monday in New York City on misdemeanor charges of harassment and assault. He pleaded not guilty, said his attorney, Todd Spodek.
