Reality TV star dubbed ‘the Puerto Rican Princess’ is arrested after attacking woman after brawl at Floyd Mayweather fight

- Hernandez was seen in videos holding fellow rapper Big Lex in a headlock
- It happened after a Floyd Mayweather-John Gotti III match descended into chaos
A reality TV star and rapper known as ‘the Puerto Rican Princess’ was charged after getting into a brawl with fellow rapper Big Lex after a Floyd Mayweather fight Sunday night.
Joseline Hernandez, 36, was arrested Monday morning and hit with at least four different charges – including trespassing and battery – after launching the attack on the 26-year-old rapper and reality star whose real name is Alexis Wilson.
The incident happened at the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida, after an exhibition boxing match between Mayweather and John Gotti III.
Clips showed various people trying to restrain Hernandez, a former Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star, who on multiple occasions broke free and seemingly arbitrarily punched others in a rage – predominantly those looking to break up the fight.
Hernandez performed before the boxing match as part of the evening’s scheduled entertainment.

The scrap between the two women came shortly after a separate brawl broke out in the boxing ring after Mayweather’s opponent John Gotti III – the grandson of the infamous mob boss from the Gambino crime family – continued throwing punches after the referee had called off the fight.
In a video posted to social media, Big Lex was seen being helped up by security guards and pulled to the side.
Hernandez is then seen appearing to hit a security guard in the face, shouting ‘Get off me’ and trying to storm past him in order to continue the fight.
She then hit another woman on the back and someone is heard saying ‘What the f***?’ before a bystander throws a drink at her, causing further escalation.

That same evening at the same venue, John Gotti III sparked a mass brawl by continuing to throw punches after the referee had called it off.
Between rounds, the referee had spoken to Gotti III’s corner in a bid to quell their trash talk, and then eventually – midway through the sixth – the official then called a halt to the bout, handing Mayweather the victory.

Gotti III broke past referee Kenny Bayless to continue swinging punches at Mayweather. That caused an uproar from the teams of both fighters, who entered the ring and started fighting themselves.
Undisputed middleweight champion Claressa Shields, regarded as one of the best female fighters on the planet, was ringside and filmed some of the chaos.
Panning around to the brawl taking place, she exclaimed: ‘What the f***, man!’ as punches started flying between Mayweather and Gotti III’s teams.
Shortly after the brawl eventually died down, Gotti III’s sister Nicolette posted a statement on Instagram threatening Mayweather’s daughter as she made it clear that the feud between the boxing superstar and her brother is not over.
‘@floydmayweather your daughter was ran through by a animal with 12 different baby mamas – your little circus animal – you’re all a pack of zoo animals… I swear on my kids I’m coming for your daughter it may be 2 years 3 years from now but I’m coming c***,’ she wrote.
