Mexican social media influencer Yoseline Hoffman, known as YosStop, was detained on August 26, 2024, and transferred to the Reclusorio Oriente prison in Mexico City. The 34-year-old influencer is accused of aggression and inciting hatred against an ex-business partner. According to reports, a judge ordered her detention after she allegedly violated protective measures by using social media to criticize her former partner, which led to harassment from her followers.Hoffman’s lawyer, Emiliano Robles Gómez Mont, stated that she had complied with court-ordered measures to protect her ex-partner, including suspending her social media accounts.

The influencer is expected to spend between 36 to 48 hours in detention while her case is resolved.This is not the first time Hoffman has faced legal troubles.

He stated, ‘It’s incredible that in this country, a group of thieves, extortionists, and liars can join forces with a corrupt system to harm someone’s life’. González also announced plans to reveal more details about the situation through social media.The case has sparked significant public interest, with social media users expressing surprise and creating memes about her arrest.
