Powerlifting influencer Stefi Cohen has been arrested for domestic violence — a year after she allegedly hacked into her ex-boyfriend’s laptop and posted nude photos of his new flame.
The 33-year-old influencer, real name Stefanie Cohen Magarici, was arrested in Miami on Wednesday on a domestic violence battery charge, TMZ reported.
It was not immediately clear what led to the arrest, and the Miami-Dade Police Department did not immediately respond to requests early Monday.
However, the Venezuela-born powerlifting champ’s arrest comes more than a year after she faced a felony charge of unauthorized access to a computer, a misdemeanor sexual cyberharassment, criminal mischief, and resisting arrest without violence.
The lifter-turned-boxer — who has more than 1 million followers on her Instagram page, where sher’s known as Dr. Stefi Cohen — allegedly accessed her ex-boyfriend’s laptop, which he had left behind in a house he used to live in with her in March 2022, NBC 6 had reported.
She guessed her ex’s iCloud password and found several naked photos of his new girlfriend, which she allegedly shared in a group chat with the woman and “several other girls.”
The victim told police Cohen said to her she was sending the photos “with the purpose of exposing and humiliating her.”
The victim and Cohen’s ex-boyfriend reported the incident to Miami detectives in November 2023 — with Miami police later arresting Cohen at her home in Coconut Grove in May 2024.
However, she “did not comply and began to walk at a fast pace back to her residence,” according to the arrest record.
She allegedly resisted arrest as two officers were able to get her into handcuffs, but Cohen placed a “right leg hooked” on one of the officers, sweeping him off his feet.
Cohen has a boxing record of 4-1-1, with her most recent fight in June 2023.
The Venezuela native is a 25-time world record-breaking powerlifter.
Cohen holds all-time world records for the squat, total, and deadlift for the 123-pound weight class, according to Men’s Health.
She competed in powerlifting competitions from 2015 to 2020, according to Open Powerlifting.
She was most recently dating Tristan Hamm, a fellow influencer with more than 1.9 million followers on Instagram.
