Maranda, who works as a realtor at Allure Realty, owned by Sharelle Rosando, remarked that she understood how the circulation of the mugshot and reports of her arrest could harm the firm's reputation. However, Sharelle appeared supportive, as she could understand Maranda's situation.

The W.A.G.s to Riches star told the cameras:

"I had a feeling I was gonna get arrested, but if I picture myself going to jail, it would be for something like assault or battery."

She further told the cameras that her mother took her two children there, but when she saw video clips of Kodak and Broomfield dancing, she felt a wave of rage.

"She was gonna health with it when I saw her, and that's what happened. I'ma beat the case. I got a good-a** lawyer."
