Foxy Brown`s Assault

The music and entertainment world stars can never just live their lives peacefully. A few days ago the rapper Foxy Brown pleaded guilty to misdemeanor attack charges stemming from a fight with salon workers over a manicure. According to the appeal deal, which spares her jail time, she is required to serve three years probation and take anger management classes.

Minutes after the appeal, Brown, 26, whose real name is Inga Marchand, tried to return to the courtroom and withdraw it, claiming she had been rushed into the decision. But the judge told her "the plea stands," the rapper`s spokesman told the entertainment magazine. Prosecutors said the entertainment and music star, which once appeared in court wearing 4-inch hoop earrings and 3-inch stiletto heels, kicked one employee and smacked a second in the face on Aug. 29, 2004, in an argument over payment for a manicure at Bloomie Nails. Her sentencing was scheduled for October 23.

The case was almost settled in December when Brown, whose albums include "Ill Na Na" and "Chyna Doll," had been expected to enter a plea. But the agreement was cancelled, apparently because Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson was unsatisfied with Brown`s plea statement. Prosecutors had said they believed the statement was legally and factually inconsistent, indicating they believed Brown, known for her raunchy lyrics and revealing clothes, had not accepted enough blame for the nail salon quarrel.
