Rita Ora[1] got separated from her rocker boyfriend Andrew Watt on Saturday night when security bumrushed him during a rave at Avant Gardner, a former warehouse in Brooklyn.
Dixon, a DJ from Berlin, was spinning for more than 5,000 dancing electronic-music lovers when someone told security that Watt was occupying the wrong table amid the likes of A$AP Rocky and models Constance Jablonski, Megan May Williams and Jessica Hart.
“He was escorted out. It was embarrassing,” said one witness who was in the VIP section run by Provocateur’s Mike Satsky. The snafu was quickly straightened out, and Watt returned with apologies from the management. “He took it OK and didn’t flip out. He’s a champion.”
The party — with interactive, multimedia art curated by Matte Projects — raged on until dawn.
The British singer-songwriter and Watt became a couple last year and were photographed on a romantic holiday in Rome on the steps of the Piazza di Spagna.
Watt, a New Yorker and formerly a guitarist for the Los Angeles-based supergroup California Breed, co-wrote the DJ Snake and Justin Bieber hit “Let Me Love You.”
