Well, something strange was obviously in the New York air yesterday, because Foxy Brown actually made a court appearance.
You'll remember she is trying to back out of an earlier plea bargain relating to an incident where she allegedly lashed out at the employees of a nail salon. Brown, real name Inga Marchand, agreed to plead guilty to the charges and serve three years probation to avoid jail time when the case first went to court. But she had a change of heart when she realized the probation meant she would have to undergo regular drugs tests and attend anger management classes.
She went to court this week asking to withdraw her plea, claiming she was rushed into the agreement first time round. I think there was another option that would have resulted in ten days community service, which seemed worse at the time, but with hindsight she wished she'd taken it. But not showing up to the court hearing scheduled to consider her request on Monday can't have helped her case and yesterday, when the rapper did make it to court, the judge ruled that the initial plea should stand and the three year probation should continue.
