Transgender social media influencer Nikita Dragun was arrested on Monday night for disorderly conduct after being caught frolicking around a luxury Miami hotel pool naked.
‘Goodtime Hotel’ employees claimed that they asked her to put her clothes back on, but she intentionally threw water on them, which is when the police were called. She also threw water onto the police officers, which led to her arrest later in the night.
Nikita Dragun, whose real name is Nikita Nguyen, has remained open about her gender identity. In 2015, she came out as a transgender woman.
Nikita’s rep told TMZ Wednesday, “The situation with Nikita, who is legally female, being placed in a men’s unit of a Florida jail is extremely distributing and dangerous.”
Ketsoyan continues, “This decision made by the Miami-Dade County Corrections Department directly violates their protocol, which mandates that transgender inmates are classified and housed based on safety needs and gender identity.”
The rep also confirmed Nikita had been released after being placed on a $5,000 bond.
