Stefi Cohen’s Miami Dust-Up: The Real Story Behind Her Arrest

Let’s not make a thing out of it, but here’s the low-key chaos courtesy of powerlifter Stefi Cohen. The social media sensation—boasting a million-plus Instagram followers and a pro boxing record (4-1-1)—found herself on the wrong side of a Miami police report on July 1, after a midday argument with her boyfriend allegedly escalated into a physical scuffle.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports, the incident kicked off at around 12:47 PM inside a Miami-area residence when Cohen supposedly snapped a video of their relationship argument on her computer. Her boyfriend, per his statement to responding officers, decided to tap out and started gathering his things. That’s when he says Cohen thought he was grabbing her phone and went in for a scratch attack—literally leaving marks. He told cops she clawed at his neck and chest, even ripping the pocket off his pants in the process.
Cohen’s version flips the narrative: she claims her boyfriend swung first, landing a closed-fist punch and leaving her with facial scratches. But here’s where the plot thickens. Law enforcement noted an absence of any visible injuries on Cohen that would support her counterclaim. Meanwhile, the alleged victim’s wounds lined up perfectly with his telling of events. Florida cops cited this consistency in the police report, leading to Cohen’s booking on a domestic violence battery charge.
This isn’t the first headline for Dr. Stefi Cohen, who’s also been in hot water over a 2024 sexual cyberharassment arrest. Despite her typically active online presence—where she dispenses fitness tips and powerlifting milestones—her Instagram has since gone private. No public statement from Cohen as of press time, leaving fans and followers to speculate on both the relationship fallout and her potential legal trajectory.
Court docs and the Miami-Dade Police Department report form the backbone of this scoop, and TMZ Sports first brought the details to light. The conflicting accounts and lack of physical evidence on Cohen’s side were key factors in the charge, according to law enforcement annotations. With a domestic violence battery count now on her record, Cohen may be facing more than just public scrutiny.
So, that’s the rundown: a midday disagreement, alleged scratches and a torn pocket, dueling narratives, and a pro athlete’s arrest on domestic violence charges. What happens next? We’ll be watching the court docket—and Cohen’s social channels whenever they pop back up. If this starts trending, don’t say you weren’t warned. Anyway, that’s the deal. Do with it what you will.
