The YouTuber who was arrested last week after getting into a physical fight with her boyfriend on a livestream says she feels lucky to have made it out of the altercation alive.
Former writer and Howard Stern Show personality Elisa Jordana spoke to TMZ following her arrest for felony assault.
Jordana, whose real name is Elisa Ann Schwartz, claims the man in the car hit her repeatedly and even choked her. The man, her on-camera love interest, Bahram Alipour, is the son of a wealthy Beverly Hills businessman.
The two were filmed hitting each other during a live broadcast where Jordana accused Alipour of cheating.
The live streamer insists that she is the real victim, because she feels that under slightly different circumstances, she could “be dead right now.”
In the interview with TMZ, Jordana at one point holds up two large handfuls of hair that she claims had to be cut off after the fight, during which Alipour brutally pulled her hair and put her in a headlock after she He hit it.

The streamer’s hair looked visibly shorter on one side while speaking to TMZ, saying she’s relieved to be live-streaming at the time of the altercation because she fears what could have happened if the two had been alone together.
‘If I were alone, I could definitely be dead right now. That’s how I feel,” he said, before adding that Alipour, who has yet to issue any kind of statement or comment on any of this, “destroyed my life.”
Jordana claims the conflict that led to the violent altercation began when she found information on Alipour’s phone suggesting he had been unfaithful.
She said she found text messages for other women, as well as Venmo deposits for other women. Until last week, Jordana had been in a relationship with Alipour for at least several months.
He told TMZ that the couple had completed a marriage license together, but abandoned their plans to legally marry on several occasions.
Jordana and her attorney, Brian Bieber, will now fight her felony charge in a Florida court, arguing that she was ultimately a victim of the violent behavior.
“When I slapped him, I obviously didn’t want to kill him. I just wanted to slap him,’ she said.
Jordana’s stream initially went viral due to shocking footage of her slapping Alipour hard across the face multiple times while confronting him about their alleged affair.
In a written report, police say they observed several injuries on Alipour’s face and, after watching the live feed, opted to take Jordana into custody.
He previously said he doesn’t believe authorities saw the entire livestream.

Jordana was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail after being arrested for felony assault.
Jordana briefly showed the now-deleted Venmo account of the woman she claims her boyfriend was cheating on her with.
In a statement to DailyMail.com, Schwartz promised to reevaluate his relationships with other people.
The YouTuber claimed that her boyfriend was cheating on her with a young woman named Sara and accused him of paying her thousands of dollars.
Jordana showed Sara RodrÃguez’s Venmo account on the screen. She said she was able to see several cases where her boyfriend sent Sara payments of a few thousand dollars.
Jordana also claimed that Alipour, who goes online under the name ‘Zscorro’, paid her throughout their relationship.
It is unclear whether Alipour is employed, but his father, Mohammad Alipour, owns a $45 million mansion in Beverly Hills, according to public records.
Following her arrest on April 8, Jordana, whose legal name is Elisa Ann Schwartz, was placed under a no-contact order prohibiting her from contacting Alipour in any way.
He is scheduled to appear in court next Friday.
In a statement to DailyMail.com following her arrest, Jordana apologized for her behavior.
“I just want to say that I’m very sorry for what I portrayed on my livestream and that everyone saw,” he said.
“This is not what I want to give to the world and it sucks that I went into so much sadness and anger; it was a really negative representation of who I am.”
“I’m going to do everything I can to have better relationships with the people who are good for me and who I’m good with.”
She called the controversy and subsequent arrest “the most challenging moment of my life,” adding, “if I can get through this moment, I will definitely be proud.”
