Hall was restrained by security and was later taken off in handcuffs, but she was not officially under arrest, as instead of being placed in a jail cell, she got an exclusive one-on-one interview with Harper, where he claims that he had never even watched "22 Minutes", and asked Geri "Do you like handcuffs?"
