Has anyone ever seen a new monstera stem randomly bend backwards like this overnight? It looks like it ripped where the next leaf would grow in. Curious of what could have caused this.

It could be to heavy for itself but if it happens over night I don’t think that’s the problem has it been moved recently

This looks like something may have fell on it or someone may have moved it. Either way, doesn't look like something that would be naturally occurring.
