Deleting multiple (50+) items from recycler view is throwing exception (Stacktrace attached)

The following is the recycler view defined with the animation:

       mRecyclerView = rootView.findViewById(R.id.list1);
       mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(fragmentActivity, 2));
        mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
        mAdapter = new MediaGridAdapter(fragmentActivity, mediaModels);

        MyScaleInAnimator animator = new MyScaleInAnimator(mAdapter);
        animator.setAddDuration(100);
        animator.setRemoveDuration(100);
        mRecyclerView.setItemAnimator(animator);

The following is how I remove items from the recycler view:

    public void removeData(String fileType, int position, Context context) {
        mediaModels.remove(position);
        notifyItemRemoved(position);
    }

(When I am deleting multiple items, this method is called multiple times iterativey). Problem: When I select a small numbers of items from the recycler view, the above delete method functions as expected. But If I select a large number of items(50-100) & delete immediately, the following exception is thrown:
