Cher Lloyd didn't get a very warm welcome from her audience at the V Music Festival in England's Hylands Park over the weekend.
The raucous crowd managed to boo the former U.K. X Factor competitor off the stage during her set -- but not before one festival-goer hurled a bottle filled with urine at the beleaguered pop star.

"It's hard enough being up here, but it's not nice having bottles of piss chucked at you," Lloyd, 19, told the audience.
Determined to put the incident behind her once and for all, Lloyd took to Twitter Sunday to acknowledge those who had shown their support after her rude festival reception.
"Thank you so much for all the nice messages, shame that a couple of people had to ruin it," she wrote.
Lloyd's latest single, "Want U Back," is currently no. 12 on the Billboard Pop charts, but after this past weekend's events, the album she's promoting is likely to take on new significance. Its title? Sticks and Stones.
