TikTok Star Bryce Hall Arrested on Felony Domestic Violence Charge in Las Vegas
The 27-year-old influencer faces a felony coercion charge tied to an ex-girlfriend's allegations — his rep calls the claims false and vows to fight them in court.
TikTok star Bryce Hall, 27, has been arrested and charged with felony coercion involving domestic violence and misdemeanor domestic battery stemming from an alleged incident with his ex-girlfriend, fellow influencer Maria Palafox — known online as Mika Lafuente — according to Yahoo Entertainment and The Big Lead, both citing court records first reported by TMZ.
The alleged incident dates back to July 27; prosecutors filed the charges on August 28, and a judge issued an arrest warrant on September 10 along with an order for Hall to stay away from Palafox. Hall was taken into custody in Las Vegas this week and released without posting bail, per the reports. Palafox is said to have documented injuries she attributes to the alleged dispute.
Hall's representative pushed back hard on the allegations. "These allegations are false, and we look forward to the facts coming out in court," the rep said, adding that Hall's team plans legal action against those "spreading false and defamatory claims." Two days before the alleged incident, Hall had posted a video announcing the couple's breakup, calling the split not "pretty" and wishing Palafox well.
Hall, who built a following of more than 25 million on social media as part of the "Sway House" TikTok collective, has faced legal trouble before, including a 2022 nightclub brawl and a 2020 marijuana-possession arrest. His case is now headed to court, with no hearing date yet confirmed.
