OK! NEWS: MODEL CLAIMS SHE WAS INJURED IN CHRIS BROWN-DRAKE BAR BRAWL

The NYPD is looking into whether or not gunshots were fired the night of the brawl. They do know this: Bottles were used as weapons during the fight. The New York Post recently reported that Drake was expected to be charged with reckless endangerment for allegedly throwing a bottle in Chris' direction. 

Anessa DeSarno, a nightlife marketing expert, says, "The event that took place on Wednesday night could have happened at any public establishment at any given time. Similar to concert or stadium venues — or even general restaurants or bars — nightlife venues train security and operations personel to assist and minimize escalated situations as soon as they arise.While an incident like this is extremely rare and unfortunate, the heightened attention to this specific altercation is shedding an out-of-context light on nightlife and the nightlife industry as a whole — but I am confident that we will return to the positive culture that nightlife is meant to highlight and reflect."
