Foxy Brown's manager says that his client has been put into solitary confinement because of false allegations and misunderstandings. Chaz Williams was responding to reports that the rapper, currently in jail for parole violations, has been put into solitary after a run in with a fellow inmate, after being verbally abusive to prison officers, and for refusing to take a drug test.
But speaking to Billboard, Williams says not all the allegations against Brown are fair. He says: "There was an incident where a girl attempted to confront her and she stood her ground, but there wasn't any contact. Words were exchanged and that was it". While on her refusal to take a drug test, Williams reckons Brown misheard prison officers' instructions because of her hearing difficulties: "Really she didn't hear the request ... she has a battery-operated device and sometimes it dies out. By the time she understood what she was being asked, the officials told her it was too late and that their decision to take further disciplinary action was already made". A similar confusion, he says, led to Brown's previously reported refusal to board a prison bus to attend a court hearing.
Williams says prison officials have confirmed his client's hearing difficulties, and are looking into whether the condition was behind recent conflict situations.
