Brown: Radio Station Lied About Bail
Troubled singer BOBBY BROWN insists executives at a Washington, D.C. radio station did not bail him out of jail, despite press reports.
The 39-year-old claims his friends raised the funds and bailed him out of prison and accuses radio station bosses of lying about providing the cash.
Brown was arrested in Massachusetts on February 25 for failure to pay child support, and spent three nights behind bars before posting $19,150 bail.
Bosses at local radio station Hot 99.5 claimed they bailed Brown in exchange for a week of on-air appearances.
The DON’T BE CRUEL singer has since called into the TOM JOYNER MORNING SHOW and slammed the radio station, explaining, “That didn’t happen. They didn’t pay it. A bunch of my friends got together and got me out.”
Brown’s lawyer, PHAEDRA PARKS, told Joyner she had spoken to the radio station about a possible deal, but “they never paid a penny” and that Brown’s brother TOMMY actually collected the bail money.
