Sunday, August 23, 2026 - Alaia Baldwin Aronow, the sister of Hailey Bieber, will avoid jail time in connection with a criminal assault and battery case stemming from a 2024 incident at a Savannah, Georgia, bar, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
Prosecutors offered Aronow entry into a pre-trial diversion
program that requires her to complete classes, pay fines and satisfy other
conditions in exchange for avoiding incarceration. Aronow accepted the offer
and paid the program fee, according to the documents.
Diversion programs are generally available to certain
first-time or low-level offenders and can allow defendants to resolve criminal
cases without serving jail time, provided they meet the program's requirements.
Aronow was arrested in March 2024 following a reported
confrontation at a bar in Savannah. The bar's owner told police that Aronow
caused a disturbance inside the venue and allegedly became physical with
employees. According to allegations previously reported by TMZ, Aronow entered
a staff bathroom and refused to leave after being told she needed to use the
customer restroom.
Three employees alleged that Aronow became physical during
the confrontation. One employee claimed Aronow pulled her hair, while another
alleged that she was kicked in the groin. Another employee told police that she
asked Aronow to leave the bathroom, after which Aronow allegedly threw a used
tampon at her. The incident was described in contemporaneous coverage as
"ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING."
Aronow was arrested on charges of simple assault, simple
battery and trespassing. The allegations are not findings of guilt, and her
acceptance into the diversion program allows her to avoid jail provided she
complies with its conditions.
