Steven Spielberg’s adopted 23-year-old daughter has been arrested on a domestic violence charge just a week after she revealed her plans to pursue a career as a porn actress.

Mikaela Spielberg was booked into the Hill Detention Center in Nashville on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge at 6.33am on Saturday, according to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office.

Her arrest was confirmed to DailyMail.com by a spokesperson for the office.

Chuck Pankow, her fiance, told Fox News that the incident was a ‘misunderstanding’

‘No one is hurt,’ Pankow, 47, said.

Pankow, a professional dart player, did not reveal where the incident occurred or who was involved.

After her arrest, someone posted a $1,000 bond on Spielberg’s behalf. She is scheduled to be released after her mandatory 12-hour hold expires.

Mikaela revealed last week that she was embarking on a new career as a porn star.

Sources told The Sun that while her famous director father and his wife, actress Kate Capshaw, support their child, they are also ’embarrassed’ about her decision to pursue work in the world of adult films.

‘Outwardly, Steven and Kate – who are the most evolved parents in the world and love their kids beyond all measure – have always been supportive of Mikaela and try to understand her,’ a family friend told the publication.

‘Obviously, though, they’re embarrassed by her sudden public admission of entry into the sex worker world.’

In a new interview, the Nashville-based adult film star, who was adopted as a baby by Spielberg, 73, and his wife Kate Capshaw, 66, revealed that she only recently told her parents about her new line of work, but said that they have been very supportive of her career choice.

‘My safety has always been a number one priority for them,’ she told The Sun, while revealing that she broke the news to them via FaceTime over the weekend.

‘I’m doing this, not out of an urge to hurt anybody or be spiteful about it, I’m doing this because I want to honor my body in a way that’s lucrative.’
