While performing and interacting with fans during her latest concert at Pearl Concert Theater, the Mexican musician was hit by what seemed to be a phone thrown from the crowd.
Mon Laferte injured during her latest concert
According to many fan videos shared online, someone from the pit threw what seemed to be a mobile phone at the singer, hitting her in the face. She was then seen clutching her left eye on stage in the video before walking away to the back of the stage. Amid this, her backup dancers continued to perform while staff members assessed the damage and escorted her off stage. More videos from the venue were shared, showing security staff escorting an unidentified woman away from the stage area.Soon after, the singer took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and opened up about how she was completely fine after the incident. She commented that the girl did not mean any harm by her actions; however, she did add, “But please don’t throw anything onto the stage ever again. Tomorrow and the day after, see you at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles! And that wraps up the US tour. I love you all.”
Fan reactions to the incident with Mon Laferte
Soon after the videos were shared online, many people strongly reacted to the incident, urging concertgoers to be more careful and mindful of their actions. One person wrote, “Dude, people are getting less and less respectful. How disrespectful to their artists,” while another social media user posted, “What’s wrong with people? Everyone just stands there, not looking for who’s to blame, not reacting. Indifference is the death of us.”Another person added, “Unstoppable fines are needed so the next idiot thinks before doing something that stupid…if they don’t like the artist, why the fuck do they go?”Laferte is not the only artist who has undergone similar situations in the past couple of years. In July 2023, while performing on stage, Harry Styles was also hit in the face by an object thrown by a fan near the pit area. Bebe Rexha was also struck in the head by a cell phone that same year, and the person who threw the phone was arrested.
