Pop star Bobby Brown's Atlanta attorney Phaedra C. Parks contacted Buzz Central on Tuesday to set the record straight concerning her client and that alleged one-week guest spot on Hot 99.5 FM in Washington, D.C. The station's morning man Kane went on air and claimed that the station put up Brown's $19,000 child support payment to secure his release from a Massachusetts jail in exchange for a contracted one-week guest stint with Brown.
Not so fast, says Brown's lawyer. Parks told Buzz: "[Washington radio station] 99.5 did not pay a penny towards Bobby's bail. Bobby was released from jail on Wednesday night as I was en route to Boston. Furthermore, the monies promised by 99.5 were not received by my office until late Friday afternoon via a wire transfer. The money was promptly returned upon receipt." Hot 99.5 FM rep Jessica Ritch confirmed that the station got its money back. She added: "We were told that we were bailing him out of jail. The money had been up-fronted, and our money would be used to pay back the person who originally fronted the money. On Friday we learned that he was already out of jail."
Parks said: "There was never a signed contract or any formally executed agreement regarding Bobby's appearance on 99.5. This appears to be a publicity stunt by 99.5 at Bobby Brown's expense."
Parks and Brown will appear on the Tom Joyner show at 8:30 Thursday morning to discuss the matter. An appearance with V103's Ryan Cameron is also in the works.
