Emma Roberts arrested for domestic violence against boyfriend Evan Peters

Emma Roberts was arrested on Sunday, July 7 after assaulting her boyfriend of one year, Evan Peters, and giving him a bloody nose.

TMZ reports that the niece of Julia Roberts, 22, was at first involved with a verbal fight with the American Horror Story star, Peters, 26, and it eventually got heated and ended with physical assault.

The couple, who have been dating since spring 2012 after meeting on the set of their film, Adult World, were staying at a hotel in Montreal. According to Hollywood Life, The Montreal police were called to the hotel room after someone reported a disturbance in their room. When the police showed up, Peters had a bloody nose and a bite mark – which led to Roberts arrest.

However, a source close to Roberts said she did not bite him and that they were both hitting each other during their argument. She believes she was the one to get arrested because of Peter’s obvious injuries.

The source adds that a few days later the couple has reconciled and “seem fine.” A few hours later that day, Roberts was released from jail after Peters chose not to press charges on his girlfriend.

Roberts’ and Peters’ reps said in a statement: “It was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding. Ms. Roberts was released after questioning and the couple are working together to move past it.”

And we’re glad to see the couple is moving past it, as they will both be acting in the upcoming American Horror Story: Coven premiering this fall.
