Her boyfriend is 30-year-old actor Chase Stokes who is known for his role in Netflix’s show Outer Banks.
Yesterday, during a concert in Boise, Idaho, Kelsea was hit in the face with an object thrown by an audience member.
After the incident, her social media blew up with messages of support and concern, but some comments were nasty.
One commented and called her “soft.”
Another said, “Stitches is the bar. No stitches. No post.”
Basically, the commenter said the singer wasn’t hurt badly enough to complain.
Kelsea screenshotted and posted the comments on her Instagram Story.
She added: “Also just gonna leave this right here. A sad, scary world we live in.”
After Chase saw this comment, he couldn’t help himself. He had to respond.
The actor replied, “You are one miserable mother f**ker. Go take your bulls**t comment and cry in a corner.”
A REAL HERO
A Kelsea fan account on Twitter reposted the exchange with the caption: “A knight in shining armor. We love Chase Stokes.”
One fan replied, “I love him. Chase is so great. Jumps on planes, defends Kelsea, supports his costars, has a great professional relationship with his ex gf.”

Another added, “It’s ok Chase. She’s going to be ok. And Pat is clearly not worth her time anyway. Or yours.”
A third simply said, “Ugh I love him.”
HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED
While singing her sit song, If You Go Down, Kelsea was hit in the face with a suspected friendship bracelet.
Once she got struck by the flying object, she turned around.
One of her band members went over to see if she was OK.
She refused to turn around to look at the crowd before abruptly walking off the stage.
Luckily for the fans, she came back out but wanted to shine a light on what had happened.
“Can we just talk about what happened,” she asked.
“All I care about is keeping everyone safe. If you ever don’t feel safe, please let someone around you know. If anyone’s pushing too much or you just have that gut feeling, just always flag it. Don’t throw things. You know?”
On Thursday, Kelsea updated fans on Instagram to let them know she’s doing “fine” following the incident.
The singer admitted the experience “scared” her more than it physically “hurt” her.
Just last week, Bebe Rexha, 33, was hit in the face with a phone while and ended up needing stitches.
The person that threw the phone was arrested and charged with assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault, and harassment.
