Berita and her manager, Ninel Musson, who was with her at the time, both managed to escape unharmed.”

Director at Vth Season, Ninel Musson went on to eloborate on the matter and expressed how scary the moment was. “It was one of the scariest incidents I have experienced at a show. I was with Berita and we are both grateful to have escaped alive and unharmed.
