Officers from The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) detained Bhad Bhabie and her boyfriend, Le Vaughn, at a gas station Tuesday near Woodland Hills, California, a suburb of Los Angeles.
The incident was the result of a mix-up. Police matched the singer’s Mercedes Benz to the description of a car used by a burglary suspect to flee the scene of a crime. The misunderstanding was caught on video and widely shared by TMZ. Bhad Bhabie, whose real name is Danielle Bregoli, took to social media Wednesday, admitting she was “shaken up” by the incident.
“Luckily my daughter was not in the vehicle at the time,” the star wrote to her Instagram story.
Bhad Bhabie explained the circumstances of the circulating video that showed the police detaining her in plain view of passersby and customers who stopped in at the gas station.
