Warning: This article contains footage that some readers may find distressing
A former Howard Stern writer has spoken out after a now-viral livestream showed her repeatedly hitting a man before getting into a domestic altercation.
Earlier this week, Elisa Jordana took to her YouTube channel in a two-hour livestream event, showing her in Palm Beach, Florida.
The livestream quickly went viral for all the wrong reasons, as the video descended into an alarming situation with violence and an arrest ensuing. Warning: Contains scenes of violence:

Jordana was joined by a man in the livestream, who we now know as Bahram Alipour and someone the former Howard Stern writer described as her 'boyfriend'.
The meet-up saw Jordana call the girl Alipour allegedly cheated on her with called 'Sara'. And from there, the situation escalated to heights none of us could have ever expected.
Jordana seemingly got on the phone to Sara and while she was on the phone, the livestream documented her hitting the man in the arm multiple times.
Jordana then threatened Sara with exposing her naked photographs online, and when Alipour apologised to Sara, Jordana hit him in the face.
The man was then heard telling Jordana that 'next time you f**king touch me' he'd 'f**king deck' her, which led to the former writer raising her hand again.
He then retaliated by grabbing her hair, making her pull the car over and pushing her out.
The livestream quickly went viral on social media, with Jordana being arrested later that day by officers from Palm Beach County Sheriff's office on a charge of alleged battery.
When approached by UNILAD after the incident, Jordana said in a statement: "I’m very heartbroken on recent events and also very regretful. I made so many mistakes recently.
"I have hours of footage with ZScorro, and if I had just listened to every single person in my life, this would not have happened."
Jordana has now spoken further surrounding the background of the situation in an interview with TMZ.
She said the pair had set up a couples therapy session to discuss their future before they got married as they had been experiencing a few issues.
Jordana claims she found texts and money transfers to other women on Alipour's phone - something that surprised her as she thought the couple were in a committed relationship.
Jordanna went on to tell TMZ that she's glad she live-streamed the event as she believes she could have been hurt a lot worse if she hadn't been recording.
She even said she feared for her life, claiming Alipour 'strangled' her when she was pushed out of the car.
"I was thrown out of my car onto the road and strangled," she said. "When I slapped him, I didn't want to kill him, I just wanted to slap him.
"That's all I wanted to do, I was just mad... I felt when he was, like, strangling me, and when he was pulling my hair and shaking my head so violently... I felt he was trying to kill me."
UNILAD has reached out to Alipour for comment.
