Steven Spielberg's daughter Mikaela arrested on domestic assault charge - News Buddi

A daughter of film director Steven Spielberg was arrested in Tennessee in a domestic incident involving her boyfriend, police said.


Mikaela Spielberg, 24, was charged with domestic assault causing bodily injury early Saturday. Spielberg was released from a jail in Nashville jail later Saturday, jail records showed.

According to a Metropolitan Nashville Police affidavit, officers said Spielberg and her boyfriend were involved in an argument after returning from a bar. After the victim made a “rude comment” toward Spielberg, she started throwing objects at him, injuring his hand and wrist, Nashville's WZTV reported.

Jail records didn’t indicate whether she has an attorney who could comment on the charge. A March 9 court hearing on the charge was scheduled.

In a statement to Fox News, Mikaela's fiance, Chuck Pankow, 47, confirmed the incident occurred, though he did not share any details about who else was involved.

"No one is hurt," he added, calling the incident a "misunderstanding."

The news comes less than two weeks after Mikaela opened up in an on-camera interview with The Sun about her decision to begin working in the porn industry.

"Frankly, I got really tired of being told to hate my body," she told the U.K. tabloid. "And I also just got tired of working day-to-day in a way that wasn't satisfying my soul."
