KDAF in Little Rock, Arkansas reports that Seawright's mugshot hit Twitter after it appeared on Ugly Plastic, a website that collects mugshots. 

From there, it blew up. Even former NFL player Chad Johnson got in on the #PrisonBae meme:

As for Seawright -- who isn't currently serving time -- she's seemingly enjoying her Internet fame, even if not all of the attention is positive.

"Keep the hate coming I WAS BUILT FOR THIS!" she wrote on Facebook.

Seawright is standing accused of first degree battery, aggravated robbery, kidnapping, hindering prosecution and tampering with physical evidence, according to police records.

Seawright isn't the first to go viral over a photogenic mugshot -- in 2014, Jeremy Meeks' mugshot earned him the nickname "Hot Felon." He's currently pursuing a career in modeling.
