Daly was released from jail after posting a $2,500 bond.

Police have declined to release additional details, citing an ongoing investigation.  

The former BB contestant told TMZ: 'It’s a retaliation attempt on the part of a former business associate who sued me in civil court and lost. 

'It won’t stick and I’m in the process of suing them for $500K as well, so best I don’t say anything further.'
