Bobby Brown Disputes Radio Station’s Claims on His Jail Release
During Interview on Tom Joyner Morning Show
(Dallas, TX – March 8th, 2007 ) – In his first comments to the media since being release d from jail, R&B singer Bobby Brown disputed claims that a Washington, DC radio station paid his bail in return for him spending a week on the radio show.
During the nationally syndicated radio Tom Joyner Morning Show, Brown, who appeared on air with his attorney, Phaedra Parks, said that HOT 99.5FM – did not bail him out. “No that didn’t happen,” said Brown who was a member of the hit group New Edition and recently divorced Whitney Houston. “They didn’t pay it. … A bunch of my friends got together and got me out.” When Joyner asked if the radio station was lying, Brown said, “Yeah, they lied.”
In Brown’s defense, Parks said they had spoke to the radio station about doing this deal, “however, they never paid a penny toward Bobby’s bail bond,” she said. She explained that Brown was released Wednesday when his brother brought the $19,150. On his child support, Parks said he was late. “I dare say that there are a million people out there who are more than two months behind and aren’t drug through the media and press like Bobby Brown. … People say he’s a dead beat dad, but that’s not Bobby Brown because no dead beat dad goes and risks his freedom to show that he loves his daughter and he’s going to show up no matter what.”
Also, during the interview, Brown said he and Whitney Houston remain friends and recently celebrated their daughter’s birthday. His daughter is ‘extremely beautiful and great,’ Brown said. “Her mom is happy and I’m happy. That’s what matters.” He acknowledged that Whitney has a new boyfriend – Ray J – and that he, too, has a girlfriend , but declined to reveal her name. Brown also said he is finishing a CD and working on a reality TV show, “Just Bobby Brown”.
