Ex-Destiny Child’s Farrah Franklin Was Manhandled & Arrested
Former member of Beyonce’s girl band, Destiny’s Child, Farrah Franklin, who was kicked from the group by B and Kelly Rowland in 2000, was arrested for disorderly conduct at around 6:45 am in Culver City, California on Saturday (April 23).
The 29 year-old was reportedly drunk. There is no more information about the arrest. Farrah spent a few hours in custody before she was released on a $100 bail. That’s pretty cheap bail, so the incident couldn’t have been really that relevant.
After leaving Destiny’s Child, Farrah focused on her acting career and participated in several independent movies. The actress/singer is rumored to have started working on her debut solo album.
UPDATE: Farrah claims she was “manhandled” and a victim of racial profiling when the cops took her into custody on Saturday. The Culver City PD declare they simply responded to a telephone complaint from a citizen who said Farrah was disturbing the peace.
Farrah tells TMZ, “Unfortunately, I am the latest victim on what seems to be a growing list of those who are racially profiled and mistreated by Culver City Police. I was manhandled by the arresting officers. I am really upset about all that has taken place. I have never had a run in with the law before Saturday. On Saturday I was not arrested, I was detained.”
She adds, “There were no female officers on duty and I was required to take off my top and treated unfairly.”
