Wheaton posted a $250,000 bond and was released later the same day.
She has also been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol causing bodily injury and driving under the influence of alcohol with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or above causing bodily injury, said Carr.
Social media influencer Summer Wheaton has been arrested and booked on suspicion of manslaughter and drunk driving for her alleged involvement in a fatal crash after she left Nobu Malibu last July 4.
Their lawsuit also named Nobu Malibu, the Hwood Group LLC and DBDJ LLC as defendants, further alleging that Wheaton had been hired to attend the party and was “expected to consume intoxicants” as part of her contract.
Authorities say that Wheaton, who has 101k Instagram followers, was driving a 2019 Mercedes-Benz when she crossed the center median on Pacific Coast Highway and crashed into a 2020 Cadillac driven by Okeke.
