A former writer on the Howard Stern show has been arrested after live-streaming an altercation in which she hit a man sat next to her.

Elisa Jordana, born Elisa Ann Schwartz, was driving in the car with the man identified as Zscorro at the end of a YouTube live stream that had lasted more than two hours.

The livestream was entitled 'Not Doing Good', and shows a violent altercation between her and Zscorro.

Earlier in the stream shortly before getting into the car with Zscorro, she told the camera: "I'm afraid of myself right now, I don't trust myself."

She also briefly spoke with a police officer who asked if she would be leaving with Zscorro, who she called her 'boyfriend'.

The streamer claimed that she had his phone as they had been in 'couples therapy', and claiming that he had cheated.

When she met with Zscorro, she gave him his belongings back before saying 'I'm gonna call Sara' and running at him, with Zscorro flinching before she stopped and apologized.

The officer then approached and claimed that Jordana had 'hit him in my presence', before urging her to leave.

Things escalated when she got into the car with Zscorro, where the pair sat tensely in the front of the vehicle exchanging verbal jabs with each other.

But the incident became even worse when the woman called Sara was phoned into the livestream.

Earlier, it had been alleged that she had received thousands of dollars from Zscorro.

Jordana answered the phone and started talking to Sara, hitting Zscorro in the arm several times as she greeted her - all while driving on what appeared to be a busy road.

She then told Sara 'I have all your nudes', and threatened to post them and her phone number online.

When Zscorro interrupted to say "Sara, I’m sorry about this," Jordana hit him in the face with an open palm and told him: "Don't f**king talk."

Zscorro then said: "She just like, almost broke my nose. F**k you, c***. Next time you f**king touch me I'm going to f**king deck you."

Jordana raised her hand to Zscorro, who flinched before grabbing her by the hair, making her pull over and pushing her out of the car as she screamed and apologized.

Zscorro then moved over to the drivers' side of the car before ending the live stream.

Jordana, who was previously a writer on The Howard Stern Show, was later arrested on Monday by officers from Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office on a battery charge, according to an arrest report.

It is not clear if Zscorro has also been arrested in connection with the incident.

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."

Speaking to the New York Post, Jordana also said: “It was the second worst day of my life besides losing my dog Kermit. Lost everything in a day.”

She also issued an apology to the Daily Mail, saying: "I just want to say I’m so sorry for what I portrayed on my livestream that everyone saw.

"This is not what I want to give to the world and it sucks that I got into such a sadness and anger - it was a really negative representation of who I am. I’m going to do everything I can to have better relationships with people that are good for me, and people that I’m also good for."
