Callinan's manager, Todd Wagstaff, confirmed the alleged incident is "currently before the court".

"It is therefore not appropriate to make a comment at this stage," Wagstaff said.

"Kirin will be speaking about the matter at the appropriate time."

The news comes only hours after Callinan was confirmed on the line-up for the upcoming Party In The Paddock festival, following his expulsion from the Laneway events. 

It has been speculated that Callinan's alleged stunt at the ARIAs was one of the reason he was dropped from the festival bill.
