“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!!!!”
The rock singer posted the video footage of the moment she realized the bat was on her, and quipped “I must really be a witch.” She reassured everyone that the bat was fine and humorously nicknamed him her new friend.
Following the incident, Momsen was taken to the hospital where she was dubbed #batgirl by the staff after the event made local news, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She will undergo a two-week course of rabies shots as a precaution. The Pretty Reckless are currently supporting AC/DC on the European leg of their tour, which is set to conclude August.
