Popular German-born TikTok star Samuela Brachtendorf was before a magistrate in Sydney on Monday after allegedly throwing hot chocolate over a former friend and housemate.
The 19-year-old, who is currently travelling Down Under, was charged with assault causing actual bodily harm, the Daily Telegraph reported on Tuesday.
Brachtendorf, who is working as an Uber driver while documenting her time in Australia, was granted bail on strict conditions over the alleged incident.
The charges follow a video filmed in Bourke Street, Chippendale, going viral overnight.
Brachtendorf created a clapback TikTok response that has already been seen by over one million viewers.
Titled 'storytime', the social media celebrity said she had recently split from her boyfriend and indicated she was not getting along with her flatmate.

'Our flatshare no longer talks to each other,' she said in German in the caption.
'I'm happy now that the two girls are moving out on Monday.
'They are having their graduation party right now … but not in our apartment, but in (my ex-boyfriend)'s apartment.
'I cried over (my ex-boyfriend) at her place.'
Her former friend and her boyfriend were not subjected to any claims of wrongdoing.
The TikTokker's criminal solicitor, Zahir Zakaria, told the online bail court that the matter would be defended as Brachtendorf appeared to hear the charges via video link.
'She came to Australia on a working visa, she's working and planning to travel around the state,' Zakaria said.
'The matter will be defended.'
'I was arrested and have now been released again,' she said in the TikTok video, which was filmed in the street outside of the Police Centre in Surry Hills
Magistrate David Mulroney granted bail and instructed the social media star to report to police every Wednesday.
The influencer gave up her passport and was told by the magistrate not to enter any 'international points of departure'.
He also said it was likely she would be found guilty on the charges.
Brachtendorf later appeared in a video about her court appearance, which she posted on Monday.
'I was arrested and have now been released again,' she said in the TikTok video, which was filmed in the street outside of the Police Centre in Surry Hills.
The TikTok star will next appear in Downing Centre Local Court on February 5.
Brachtendorf, who boasts 230,000 followers on TikTok, has recently gained popularity while documenting her travels around Australia and her breast augmentation surgery.
