Chris Brown was released from prison late Tuesday after posting a $250,000 bail following his 14-hour-long standoff with the Los Angeles Police Department.

Brown was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon on Tuesday after police responded to his hilltop estate in the city’s Tarzana neighbourhood at 3am. Police provided little details in the case and did not identify the woman involved.

Later, model Baylee Curran told several media outlets that Brown pointed a gun at her face and threatening her. She claims that a man was selling diamond watches and necklaces in Brown’s backyard and that she began looking at one item when Brown’s friend told her not to touch the jewelry.

“He was calling me names and that's when Chris Brown kind of went off, pulled out his gun, and said, 'Get the f**k out,“ she told E! News.

After Brown posted bail, his lawyer disputed Curran’s claim and thanked fans for their ongoing support.

"Thanks to everyone for their support and well wishes," Mr Geragos posted on Twitter. "Chris is out and well. The allegations against him are demonstrably false."
