Internet personality Celina Powell has been permanently banned from Hard Rock Stadium after she was escorted out of a Miami Dolphins game for allegedly getting into it with stadium security. Witnesses say the confrontation began over something as small as where she had her feet propped up, and it ended with sheriff's deputies helping remove her from the stands.

According to TMZ, Powell was watching the Dolphins' matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on August 28 when stadium security asked her to move her feet from a wall in front of her seat. Witnesses told the outlet that Powell became confrontational with security, and at one point snapped, “Shut the f*** up talking to me.” The outlet reports she was removed for disorderly conduct, with sheriff's deputies assisting stadium security in walking her out.

Powell says she was informed on the spot that she could no longer return to Hard Rock Stadium, and that stadium staff told her she could take the matter to court to appeal the permanent ban. She has said she does not plan to appeal it, according to the same report. TMZ notes that Hard Rock Stadium did not respond to its request for comment on the incident.

A Venue With Broad Authority to Ban Fans

Hard Rock Stadium's own code of conduct gives management wide latitude to eject and permanently bar spectators for disorderly behavior, mandating that ticket holders follow staff directives at all times, per the venue's terms and conditions. That authority is backed by state law: under Florida Statute § 810.09, remaining on a property after being told to leave can amount to criminal trespass, giving law enforcement grounds to arrest someone who tries to come back after being banned. It remains unclear whether Powell was formally served a written trespass warning, or whether she would face misdemeanor trespass charges if she attempted to return to the Miami Gardens venue.

The stadium, which seats 64,767 for NFL games and is owned by Stephen Ross, relies on joint security coordination between private stadium staff and outside law enforcement agencies including the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office during major events. Hoodline has previously reported on that same coordination playing out at Hard Rock Stadium, including six arrests during a World Cup match in July and a separate case involving a Georgia pair accused of shaking down fans outside the stadium in June.

A Pattern of Run-Ins With Florida Law

The stadium ejection lands weeks after Powell was arrested in Miami in August for driving with a suspended license, as previously reported. As Complex reported, Miami police surrounded her pink Lamborghini Urus outside a Midtown Miami Target on August 6 and booked her after determining she had accumulated at least 10 prior citations for driving with a suspended license. Her license suspension traced back to a missed December 2025 court appearance, which triggered a bench warrant tied to earlier traffic charges including driving without a valid license and a window-tint violation. She reportedly had multiple Florida bench warrants tied to traffic violations, and her attorney entered a not guilty plea in March.

Powell's history with suspended-license arrests in Miami stretches back years, including arrests on New Year's Eve in 2020 and again in March 2021. In June 2022, she was sentenced to two years in a Colorado state prison after violating probation stemming from a 2015 conviction for acting as a getaway driver in a theft ring, according to TMZ. Her probation was reportedly revoked 23 months into a 24-month sentence after she missed multiple drug tests and a court date.

Powell first drew national attention in 2017 and 2018 after fabricating allegations that rapper Offset had fathered her child, circulating a fake paternity test she later admitted was fabricated. That controversy helped her build a following that now exceeds 3.2 million on Instagram, a platform she has continued to leverage; days before her August arrest, she displayed a screenshot during a livestream claiming to show more than $1.1 million in earnings for a single month on OnlyFans.
