Sticks and stones may break her bones, but name-calling will never break Bebe Rexha.
The singer and former Staten Islander posted a story on her Instagram account recently to respond to a comment made by a hater, who said she looked like a porn star.
“The guy that told me that I look like a porn star? I take that as a compliment,” said Rexha, 34, with a broad smile, a snap of the finger and a confident head shake. The video looked to be filmed while Bebe was a passenger in a car, with music blasting in the background.
Rexha did not elaborate on the encounter, from whom the derogatory comment came, or how the exchange unfolded or ended, but seems to be unfazed from the incident.
The “In the Name of Love” star seems to be invincible from verbal and physical attacks of late, as she made headlines recently from a fan who attempted to throw something at her while she was performing on stage. The pop star is iron-clad with zero tolerance for unruly antics and immediately removed the fan from the audience.
The “No Broken Hearts” singer, 34, posted a video on social media showing the appearance of security personnel by her side on the stage, as she pointed specifically to the alleged wrongdoer, with the help of the audience.
The fan was later charged for assault. The alleged perpetrator, identified as Nicolas Malvagna, who was 27 at the time, said through his legal team that he was merely trying to get a selfie with Rehxa, with no intention to harm her.
Fans will recall an incident from a year ago, when Rexha sustained a puffy black eye, after being hit in the face with a cell phone thrown by a concertgoer.
Last month, Rexha made headlines with another message for her fans and her body-shaming haters: “For those of you claling me fat, just know that my bank account is too.” Read the full story here.
A Tottenville High School alumna, Rexha has discussed her challenges with weight and her journey towards body positivity in the past, recently revealing she suffers from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). She has posted a video on TikTok about the disease and talked to fans with questions.
ALWAYS STUNNING
Despite her health struggles and news-making exchanges with her fans, Bebe always stuns on the red carpet, and was nominated for a Grammy Award for her hit single “I’m Good (Blue). She lost to Beyonce in the Best Dance-Electronic Music Recording category.
Fans may recall at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, presenter Rexha’s outfit stunned again in black leather, which was business in the front, and party in the back. Beautiful Bebe turned heads on the VMA pink carpet in a floor-length, black leather dress with butt-baring cutouts and spaghetti-straps.
And she recently toured nationwide in the “Best F*in Night of my Life” tour and has been featured on several successful collaborations, including “Hey Mama” with David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, and Afrojack; “Me, Myself & I” with G-Eazy; and “In the Name of Love” with Martin Garrix.
