According to NBC4 … Burbank police were called to a home around 5:30 AM on Sunday after receiving a call about a woman screaming. When officers showed up, the outlet reports they found Zaire and a woman with lacerations on her face and body.

Despite her alleged injuries, the woman was reportedly not transported to the hospital. Zaire was released later in the day after posting a $50K bond.
