Gossip Girl alum Taylor Momsen got bit by a bat while performing with her band The Pretty Reckless in Seville, Spain on May 29th.
Momsen, 30, shared an Instagram video that showed the moment the bat landed on her leg as she was on stage.
“You guys are pointing at something and I don’t know what you’re saying,” Momsen said to the crowd, who saw the bat fly on the actress and musician.
Momsen was then horrified as she realized the bat was on her leg. “There’s a flying f–king bat on my leg right now,” she said. “Can someone help me, please?”
Several men rushed on stage to help Momsen as she tried to shield herself from the bat…

She elaborated more on the incident in the caption of her Instagram post.
“So…ROCK AND ROLL MOMENT…in Sevilla Wednesday during Witches Burn of all songs… a BAT 🦇 🦇 flew onto me and clung to my leg…In the moment I was performing and had no idea until the incredible crowd kept screaming and pointing,” Momsen wrote.
“He was cute, but yes he bit me…so rabies shots for the next two weeks 😖😖😖 thanks to all the staff at the hospital who dubbed me #batgirl after seeing it on the local news that morning…more footage to come…that’s one for the books!!!! @acdc #pwrup #BATGIRL.”

I heard one time a Bat bit Lemmy, and the bat suffered hallucinations and lost it’s ability to fly for weeks.
