Soon after, a fan video showed Raxha turning away from the crowd, holding her face, as she kneeled on the stage in agony.

As per the New York Post, Malvagna allegedly committed the assault for his own amusement. The phone pelter gave a statement, 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."

We doubt he saw the humor after being charged with assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault, and harassment. The New Jersey resident was freed without bail following an arraignment Monday and ordered to stay away from Rexha.

Meanwhile, the singer will carry on to have "the best f---ing night of my life," as she should!
