Renowned powerlifter and influencer Stefi Cohen has been arrested in Miami for misdemeanor domestic battery, adding to a growing list of legal troubles.

The 33-year-old athlete allegedly attacked her boyfriend during a heated argument, scratching his face, chest, and neck. According to authorities, Cohen accused him of stealing her phone and secretly recording their argument. This reportedly escalated into a physical altercation.

When police arrived at their shared home, they observed multiple visible injuries on the boyfriend’s body. Cohen claimed he had hit her. However, officers reported seeing only a minor scratch on her arm and ultimately arrested her as the primary aggressor. She was booked into Miami-Dade County jail and later released on bond.

Ongoing Fallout from 2024 Cyberstalking Case

This arrest comes just over a year after Cohen faced serious legal allegations involving her ex-boyfriend and his new partner. In 2024, she was charged with cyberstalking, sexual harassment, and computer-related offenses after allegedly accessing her ex’s laptop, stealing intimate photos of his new girlfriend, and sharing them in a group chat.

That incident also led to a tense encounter with law enforcement. Cohen reportedly resisted arrest, attempted to interfere with a police vehicle, and had to be restrained by multiple officers. Those charges are still pending, and she is expected to appear in court later this year.

Together, the two cases paint a troubling picture of repeated misconduct, leaving fans and followers shocked at the influencer’s ongoing legal unraveling.

From Powerlifting Champion to Controversy

Stefi Cohen rose to fame as one of the most decorated female powerlifters in history, holding over 20 world records. She later expanded her career into boxing and built a massive online following by sharing fitness tips, motivational content, and personal insights.

Known for her fierce discipline and intense training regimens, Cohen was often hailed as a role model for young athletes, particularly women in strength sports. But her recent behavior has sparked widespread criticism, with many questioning whether she can continue to maintain her platform amidst such damaging headlines.

Impact on Powerlifting Career and Reputation

Cohen has yet to make a public statement about the recent arrest. Her social media accounts have remained silent since the incident, and fans are left wondering whether she will address the accusations or step away from the public eye altogether.

Her sponsorships, business partnerships, and competitive career could all be at risk. In industries that increasingly demand accountability, repeated brushes with the law may prove difficult to recover from.

As the legal process unfolds, Cohen’s future remains uncertain—both in the courtroom and in the world of professional athletics.
