Former powerlifter and now a professional boxer, Stefi Cohen, has been detained on a domestic violence battery charge, a year after she was accused of hacking into her ex-boyfriend’s laptop and releasing nude images of his new partner.
Stefanie Cohen Magarici, better known as Stefi Cohen, faced charges of sexual cyber-harassment, unlawful acts against computer users, criminal mischief, and resisting arrest without violence in May 2024.
The Miami-Dade Police Department records indicate that the 33-year-old Miami-based fitness influencer was taken into custody on allegations of domestic violence early Wednesday morning.
Since her previous relationship ended in bitter fashion, Cohen – known as ‘Dr. Stefi Cohen’ to her one million followers on Instagram – found love again with new boyfriend Tristan Hamm, who is also a boxer and influencer with over two million followers on the platform.
The pair had shared countless photos together over the past 18 months, with Tristan’s last coming on June 25 – a week before his girlfriend’s alleged arrest. Stefi has not posted any snaps with her man since March 28.

Cohen was previously in a high-profile relationship with another influencer, Hayden Bowe. However, it’s unclear if he is the same ex-boyfriend connected to the alleged victim of last year’s sexual cyber-harassment scandal.
The Venezuela native allegedly accessed the ex in question’s computer by trying commonly-used passwords, before accessing his iCloud – where she found several nude images of his new girlfriend and posted them to a group chat she was part of, according to court documents seen by NBC Miami.
He had reportedly left the computer behind when he left the home they shared in March 2022.
The alleged victim contacted police in November 2023, saying Cohen told her she was sending the images ‘with the purpose of exposing and humiliating her.’
Cohen was arrested at her Coconut Grove home as she walked outside, with police saying she tried to resist arrest.
According to the police report, Cohen ‘did not comply and began to walk at fast pace back to her residence.’
When police informed her she could not go back in the home, Cohen allegedly ‘stated she was not going with them and began to physically resist.’
After being placed in handcuffs, Cohen reportedly ‘tensed up her arms’ and ‘right leg hooked’ one of the officers, allegedly trying to ‘sweep him off his feet.’
Cohen continued trying to resist arrest after she was placed in the back of a squad car, per court documents.

According to Men’s Health, she holds the all-time world records for the squat, total, and deadlift for the 123-pound weight class
Police say once in the patrol car, she ‘placed her right leg on the latch to unlock the door and grabbed it with her toes.’
Cohen then ‘pulled the latch with her toes and intentionally broke the locking system causing the door not to lock at all.’
She was taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center but was released after posting a $3,300 bond and ordered to stay away from her ex and his new partner.
According to Men’s Health, Cohen holds the all-time world records for the squat, total, and deadlift for the 123-pound weight class.
She has had six professional boxing fights to date, winning four of them and losing one while drawing the other.
