Hailey Bieber’s older sister, Alaia Baldwin Aronow, has been arrested following an alleged altercation at a Georgia club.
The 31-year-old daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin was apprehended on February 24 on charges of simple assault, simple battery, battery, and criminal trespassing following an incident at the Club Elan in Savannah, Georgia.
According to a police report obtained by E! News, the establishment’s manager, Ojasvi Trikha, informed police about Alaia’s alleged interactions with three of his employees – security staff Ian O’Neill and Jacinto Hills as well as bartender Haleigh Cauley.
Security footage allegedly showed the model “forcing her way into the locked employee bathroom” despite being told by two bouncers and a bartender to use the public restroom.

Alaia – who has been married to husband Andrew Aronow since 2017 – reportedly told the employees that “she needed to change her tampon and asked for a few minutes, which she was granted,” the report noted.
“A few minutes later when Ms. Cauley again entered the restroom, the female removed her tampon and threw it at Ms. Cauley. This is when security stepped in and removed the female from the club,” it added.
The influencer – who is the sister-in-law of singer Justin Bieber – was then escorted from the building by the two bouncers. “Aronow can be seen fighting and resisting the entire way outside,” the report claimed. “The video clearly shows Ms. Aronow grabbing and pulling Mr. O’Neill’s hair and her hitting Mr. Hills in the genitals.”
Meanwhile, Alaia shared a different version of events with the police as she initially denied forcing her way into the bathroom, only stating she needed to use the restroom to throw up and change her tampon.
“She also initially denied throwing her used tampon at Ms. Cauley but later stated she did throw it,” the report notes, per Page Six. When confronted about the alleged attack on the bouncers, she told authorities she was merely “defending herself”.
Cops charged her with assault for throwing the used tampon and battery for kicking the bouncer in the genitals and ripping out the second bouncer’s hair.

This is the second time the Baldwin family has made headlines.
Earlier this week, Stephen Baldwin sparked concern among fans after asking for prayers for his 27-year-old daughter and her husband, Justin Bieber.
The Usual Suspects alum reposted a now-deleted Instagram post from Victor Marx, the founder of All Things Possible Ministries. The removed post revealed the ‘Baby’ hitmaker playing the guitar and singing the lyrics of ‘I Could Sing of Your Love Forever’ by Delirious? and the Hillsong Worship.
Marx wrote in the overlay text: “Christians, please when you think of Justin & Hailey, take a moment to offer a little prayer for them to have wisdom, protection and to draw close to the Lord.”
The 58-year-old evangelist penned in the caption of the post: “I seldom like to post about certain folks in the limelight because of the negative comments we get,” and shared that his wife, Eileen Marx, and Hailey’s mom, Kennya Baldwin, “often pray together” for the young couple, per Page Six.
“There are special challenges that folks in high visibility positions face and also the enemy doesn’t want them to draw closer to Jesus,” he continued. “So often regardless of the material things or the accolades they often face spiritual warfare that intense and seeks to ship-wreck their faith, marriage, and life in general. So thank you.”
The 8 Seconds actor reposted the Reel on his Instagram Story and did not offer any additional context on what the couple – who tied the knot in 2018 – are going through.
