Concertgoer Violently Yanks Billie Eilish Backstage at Florida Show

Summary
- Billie Eilish assaulted by overeager fan at Miami concert
- Eilish high-fiving fans when grabbed and yanked backwards
- Eilish kept performing like "a true professional"

On October 9th, 2025, Billie Eilish was the victim of an assault during her concert in Miami, Florida. The 23-year-old singer was walking and jogging through the crowd, high-fiving fans, when one concertgoer grabbed her and violently yanked her backwards into the barricade.
Eilish quickly broke free from the person's grasp as members of her security team rushed to intervene. She flipped her hair back into place and continued her journey to the stage, refusing to let the incident disrupt her performance. According to an eyewitness, Eilish "just kept going and acted like it never happened like a true professional!"
This was not the first time Eilish has been physically assaulted while on stage. In December 2024, she was hit in the face by what appeared to be a bracelet while performing. Despite these attacks, Eilish has remained resilient, urging fans not to throw items during her shows as "it can be dangerous."
The Miami concert marked Eilish's return to the stage after a nearly two-month break for the second leg of her "Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour." She is scheduled to perform two more shows in the city before moving on to the rest of the East Coast.
