A TikTok star has been accused of allegedly punching his influencer girlfriend the night she attended a lavish boat party.
Tara Eslami, also known as ‘Tara Eve’, flew from Melbourne to Sydney over the weekend to attend an extravagant birthday party for her friend and fellow influencer Alia Elhassan.
Several well-known TikTok stars attended Saturday’s party, including Alia’s sister Jenny Elhassan and Evelyn Ellis, who has more than 224,200 followers.
Videos posted online show the group cruising around the city in luxury cars, dancing on a yacht while drinking champagne and then heading to a room at the Crown hotel.
But behind the scenes, the opulent weekend was marred by drama after Eslami’s boyfriend, TikTok power user Rabih Houchar, was arrested on Sunday night.

Police will allege that Houchar, known as @Dior_onma_body to his 16,800 followers, assaulted Eslami on Sunday night in the city’s financial district.
He has also been accused of allegedly stalking or intimidating Ms Eslami, as well as breaking her phone.
A NSW Police spokesperson said officers were called to an address on Sussex Street at around 7.30pm after reports of concern for welfare.
“A 26-year-old man was arrested and taken to Day Street police station where he was charged,” the spokesperson said.
Houchar was remanded in custody and appeared at Sydney’s Downing Center Local Court on Monday, where he pleaded not guilty to all three offences.
An arrest warrant for violence has also been issued on behalf of Ms Eslami and the police have made a court application to carry out a forensic procedure in relation to Houchar.
Houchar, originally from Guildford in Sydney’s west, went viral in 2021 after sharing a clip about how his life had changed after spending time in prison.

Influencer Evelyn Ellis can be seen playing a drum on a yacht in a video from the party.
“Don’t miss being dressed in green,” he wrote alongside the clip, which showed him leaving a prison. The video accumulated more than 1.2 million views.
Eslami, meanwhile, has a combined following of more than 17,000 people on Instagram and TikTok, where she shares videos of her lavish lifestyle: enjoying vacations abroad, attending lavish events and posing for photo shoots.
Just six days ago, she shared a cryptic post about relationships along with a video of her crying.
Daily Mail Australia understands that Saturday night’s party was hosted by Jenny Elhassan, who has around 83,000 followers on TikTok.
Jenny made headlines in April 2022 when she was an alleged victim of an acid attack after three masked men threw a ‘corrosive substance’ in her face outside a restaurant.
His sister Alia was married to convicted drug dealer Steven Elmir, once considered one of the most feared figures in Sydney’s underworld.
“Happy birthday to my little sister,” Jenny wrote on TikTok on Monday, along with a video from the party.
‘Big shout out to @RUTHLESS for the connection with the cars, the yacht, the dancers, the safety and the drivers. “They made this day possible.”
Houchar was refused bail in court on Monday. His next court appearance will be Nov. 29.
