Mon Laferte had a frightening moment during a recent Las Vegas concert. An object that appeared to be a cell phone flew from the crowd and struck the Grammy-nominated singer in the face. However, her response surprised fans. Rather than accuse the concertgoer of trying to hurt her, Laferte said she did not believe the woman intended to cause harm.
Mon Laferte says concertgoer did not intend harm after Las Vegas incident
According to Entertainment Weekly, the incident happened during Laferte’s November 5 show at the Pearl Concert Theater in Las Vegas. Fan-shot video shows the object hitting the left side of her face, near her eye.
Laferte immediately grabbed her face and walked toward the back of the stage. Two crew members then met her and helped her backstage while her dancers continued performing.
Meanwhile, concert staff escorted an unidentified woman away from the stage. EW said the object appeared to be a cell phone.
Laferte later addressed the incident in a November 6 post on X. She first reassured fans that she was “okay.” Then came the unexpected part.
“I’m fine ? the Girl didn’t do it with bad intentions.”
However, Laferte followed that reassurance with a clear request.
“don’t throw anything on stage ever again ?”
The singer also confirmed that the incident would not stop her from completing her U.S. tour. She told fans she still planned to perform at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles over the following two nights.
The Las Vegas incident follows other cases of fans throwing objects at artists during live performances. Earlier this year, Eric Clapton ended a concert early after someone reportedly threw an object that struck him.
For Laferte, the message after the frightening moment was simple. She said she was fine, indicated that she did not believe the concertgoer intended to hurt her, and asked fans not to throw anything onto the stage again.
