Emma Roberts Arrested After Evan Peters Gets Bloodied, Bitten

Emma Roberts, Julia Roberts' 22-year-old niece, was reportedly arrested in Canada last week for a domestic violence dispute involving her boyfriend, "American Horror Story" actor Evan Peters.

Sources told media outlets that a guest at the couple's Montreal hotel called police to report a fight July 7. When officers arrived, Peters, 26, had a bloody nose and a bite mark, according to TMZ. Roberts was booked, but quickly released a few hours later when Peters refused to press charges.

"It was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding," Roberts' rep told ET. "Ms. Roberts was released after questioning and the couple are working together to move past it."

The couple has been dating since spring 2012.

Photos surfaced of Roberts this week with bruises up and down her legs and a bandage on her left elbow.

News of Roberts' arrest blew up on Twitter, as people were surprised to hear that the "good girl" actress got violent with Peters.

I'd never hit Evan Peters nose. Kiss yes but hit. WTF Emma Roberts? I thought you are one of the good girls.
