She was released after being questioned about an old video of her snorting a substance.

She was scheduled to depart the United Arab Emirates last night after her ordeal in prison was finally over.

She was immediately detained and questioned by Dubai police about a two-year-old video.
The footage, which was published, showed her in an orange dress snorting a white substance of unknown origin at a party in Dubai.
As UAE authorities lacked a translator, she had no idea why she was being detained and was only permitted to send one monitored email to a friend informing them of her detention.

“I was locked up with thirty other women and had no idea why I was there for days; no one assisted me.” It was the most frightening experience I’ve ever had.
The friend added, “She’s very shaken up; she was having the worst possible thoughts.”
“You hear stories of Brits being imprisoned for years and years in these nations for drug-related offenses.
She did not have any drugs on her, but she was associated with another person the police are investigating from a previous trip, which led to her arrest.
Kaz was eventually able to sit down with the police and assist them with their investigation in every way.
Then, she was released without charge.
The friend continued, “She is extremely relieved. She could not wait to reach the airport and depart.
This is an experience she will never forget.
The show could have faced at least three months in jail and a £5,000 fine if charged and found guilty.
