Shady past of Chris Brown beauty

- By JAMIE SCHRAM Additional reporting by Shawn Cohen

The beauty queen who accused Chris Brown of waving a gun in her face has her own legal issues — she is wanted for an alleged robbery at The Plaza hotel, sources said today.

Baylee Curran, 25, was accused by ex-pal Rachel Getachew, 29, of snatching her Louis Vuitton bag containing a $1,000 Michael Kors wallet, credit cards and $200 in cash during a 2013 Big Apple getaway.

“They burst into the room and pick up my bag. They start cursing at me, saying, ‘F--k you, bitch. You better watch your back in LA.’ I was like, ‘Put my bag down,’ ” Getachew told The Post on Wednesday.

Getachew filed a police report and NYPD sources told The Post that Curran and pal Julia Parle, 23, would be arrested and charged with grand larceny if cops ever learn they’re back in New York.

On Tuesday, Curran accused R&B singer Brown of pointing a gun at her at his gated, LA estate. Brown was arrested after an hourslong standoff with police and charged with suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. He was released from jail on $250,000 bail.

Curran is an aspiring actress who was named Miss California Regional this year, only to have her crown and sash stripped for unspecifie­d rules violations.

Getachew said that Curran, like Brown, has a bad reputation.

“She is literally blackliste­d from places in LA because of her bad reputation attacking and stalking girls,” Getachew said, but Curran later disputed the claims to The Post, saying, “This is very false.”

Getachew, an LA-based real-estate agent, said Curran convinced her to go on vacation to Manhattan with Parle in September 2013.

Curran stayed with her “sugar daddy” at the St. Regis Hotel while Getachew shared a room with Parle at The Plaza, Getachew said.

On the first day, Getachew was hanging out with Parle at the St. Regis spa when Parle suddenly lunged at her and the two got into a fight.

“I changed the key to the room. I got scared. And Julie moved into her own room at St. Regis,” Getachew said.

The next day, Curran and Parle allegedly coaxed Plaza staff into giving them a key card to Getachew’s room, and then stormed inside, removing her expensive bag and other valuables.

Getachew said that when she got back her Louis Vuitton bag it was “totally empty,” leaving her stranded without any money.

Curran insisted to The Post she had nothing to do with the pursesnatc­hing. “I never saw any wallet and purse,” Curran said.

Parle did not return a call for comment.
