Ava Max was slapped by a guy who came onstage at a concert in Los Angeles on Tuesday, only days after singer Bebe Rexha suffered a deep cut near her eye from a cell phone thrown at her by an over-enthusiastic fan during her show.
The clip of the fan slapping Ava in the face went viral on Twitter, prompting security to rush in and take away the fan while Ava proceeded to perform her last song at the Fonda Theatre. Afterwards, Ava, whose real name is Amanda Ava Koci, tweeted about the incident and said, “He slapped me so hard that he scratched the inside of my eye. He’s never coming to a show again (angry face emoticons) thank you to the fans for being spectacular tonight in LA though!! (red heart emoticon)”

Many fans were particularly concerned because the incident occurred only a couple of days after Bebe Rexha was sent to the hospital when a guy threw a phone at the stage. One commented, “One more artist, Ava Max being hurt on stage by a person in the audience. I can not believe people are this harmful.” Another said, “Bebe and now Ava… whats happening!?!
