The 29-year-old claims, “I had nothing to do with it,” referring her temporary arrest in Port Elizabeth after a World Cup match.
Paris even took to Twitter to reiterate her innocence in the matter.
“Hey guys, there’s a lot of crazy rumors going around. Just want you all to know the truth. Everything is completely fine. I was not charged or arrested, cause I didn’t do anything. I was assisting the police with the investigation and answering their questions. Everyone was super nice and friendly to me. I love South Africa! Such an amazing place, especially during The World Cup! Hope that clears everything up. Love you guys, thanks for your concern. Xoxo P."
