Bilzerian was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport last week on a Las Vegas warrant that claims he was in possession of bomb-making components and an explosive incendiary device.  He will appear in court next month on two felony counts.

The “King of Instagram” also spoke out for the first time after model Vanessa Castano sued him for one million dollars, claiming Bilzerian kicked her in the face at a swanky Miami Beach nightclub just days before his arrest in LA.  A grainy video of the incident surfaced on the Net but Bilzerian denies he assaulted anybody.

He told People.com that "trashy gossip websites that don't fact check" have intentionally spread misinformation about him – but that he's innocent of any wrongdoing. "The allegations being made about me are absolutely false.

"I look forward to shedding light on what happened through proper channels."

Bilzerian's next step? Remaining mum about everything – a rarity for someone who shares his life all over social media, People.com reports.
