Court date set in domestic violence case for UFC octagon girl Celeste
Playboy model and UFC octagon girl Arianny Celeste's domestic violence case was delayed a month on Friday.
Celeste, 26, whose real last name is Lopez, did not appear before Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa but was represented by attorney Richard Schonfeld.
A court date was set for July 2 while prosecutors reviewed the case against Celeste and her boyfriend, Praveen Chandra, 34, of Sherman Oaks, Calif.
According to a Las Vegas police report, the two were arrested for battery domestic violence charges after a physical altercation in a Wynn Las Vegas hotel room early May 26.
Celeste accused Chandra of choking her several times.
Chandra said she kicked him in the nose.
Schonfeld and partner David Chesnoff have represented several celebrities in their Las Vegas criminal cases, including hotel heiress Paris Hilton and singer Bruno Mars.
