On April 8, 2024, a former writer for Howard Stern was arrested for assaulting her boyfriend. The incident occurred in the couple's car and was captured during a livestream. Elisa Jordana hadn't worked for the controversial radio show host for eight years, per LinkedIn, but she used her time there to launch a career on YouTube as the host of her own show.
The violent incident resulted in a court date and of course, some legal fees. Can she afford to dig herself out of this? Let's take a look at Elisa Jordana's net worth.

A few days after Jordana was arrested for assaulting her boyfriend, Bahram Alipour, she told TMZ the incident occurred after the couple had just finished therapy. During their session, Jordana had access to Alipour's phone where she discovered an ongoing financial relationship with a woman named Sara.

Jordana punched Alipour, nearly breaking his nose. He then grabbed Jordana's hair and hit her in the face. Jordana was arrested and a few days later, was trying to explain her side of things to BoredPanda. Jordana said the police didn't care what happened to her. "What I did wouldn’t hurt him. What he did could have easily killed me if we had gone a few more seconds."
In July 2024 she pleaded guilty to battery and received 12 months’ probation, 45 hours of community service, 12 hours of anger management classes, and a small fine," said Page Six.
