Popular influencer Bryce Hall is facing serious legal trouble in Las Vegas. The social media star faces felony coercion involving domestic violence and misdemeanor domestic battery charges. According to court records obtained by TMZ, the case involves his former partner, Maria Palafox, popularly known online as Mika Lafuente.
Authorities accuse Hall of using or threatening physical force against Palafox during an alleged domestic dispute on July 27. Prosecutors filed the charges on August 28. A judge later issued an arrest warrant on September 10. Hall was arrested later that month and released without posting bail. The court also ordered him to stay away from Palafox.
However, Hall’s representative has strongly denied the allegations. Speaking to TMZ, the representative said,
“These allegations are false, and we look forward to the facts coming out in court.”
The representative also warned of legal action against those spreading what they described as false and defamatory claims. Meanwhile, a source cited by TMZ said Palafox claimed to have documented injuries allegedly caused by Hall.
The case has drawn attention because of the couple’s recent breakup. Just two days before the alleged incident, Hall posted a video announcing their separation. He admitted the split “wasn’t pretty” and wished Palafox well. Court records indicated that Hall was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday morning.
The allegations remain contested, and the court process will determine how the case proceeds.
