NIKKI BLONSKY'S DAD RELEASED FROM JAIL

Nikki Blonsky's dad Carl has been released from jail.
A police constable tells Entertainment Tonight that he was freed after posting $3,000 bail awarded to him by the Chief Justice on Monday morning.
Carl (who was initially denied bail August 8) must remain on the island and his travel documents are in police custody, ET reports.
He is due to appear in court August 19.
Carl — who was slapped with a felony charge of grievous bodily harm — has been jailed since the July 30 airport brawl.

He and daughter Nikki, 19, got into a serious scuffle with America's Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden and her mother Elaine over saved seats in the departures lounge. (Elaine was badly injured in the scuffle and is undergoing treatment for temporary paralysis in her left side.)
"I want to clear Nikki's name. All her father did was step into the fight to try to break it up," Blonsky family lawyer Michael Griffith tells the New York Post.
Nikki — who was charged with actual bodily harm — is due in court in December.
Bianca, 19 — who is due in court in September 16 — was also charged with actual bodily harm. Like Nikki, she remains free on bail.
