A former member of the R&B group Destiny’s Child has been arrested in South Carolina near Myrtle Beach.
Online records show 33-year-old Farrah Franklin was booked into the Horry County jail just before 5am Sunday on a charge of disorderly conduct.
Franklin was released several hours later after posting $280 bond. Court records listed no attorney for her, and no details of her arrest were immediately available.
Franklin and Michelle Williams joined Destiny’s Child to replace two original members in 2000. Franklin left the group months later, and the remaining trio helped launch the solo careers of Williams, Kelly Rowland and Beyonce.
According to People.com, Destiny’s Child claimed Franklin missed several events and that they were forced to ask her to leave. MTV confirmed that Franklin had missed at least one recent performance around that time. Franklin later told E! that “I felt like I was losing my identity...I just couldn’t handle the situation...I had to leave.”
Following her release, Franklin posting this on her Instagram: “I‘m good just hate the dumb media sometimes, but hey this is the job I signed up for. So I respect it.”
