Foxy Brown leaves prison in style

Rapper/jailbird Foxy Brown is not exactly known for her understated style or demure nature. As the convicted criminal left Rikers Island prison yesterday, she was greeted by quite the orchestrated PR setup. After spending eight months in prison, Foxy was greeted by hordes of fans waiting outside the prison walls, along with a herd of reporters. Unlike the average inmate who has to leave in the prison’s bus, Foxy was chauffeured in a Rolls-Royce Phantom, thanks to the wrangling of , New York City councilman Charles Barron. Foxy was also greeted by her hair and makeup artist, who brought along a leather jacket and other attire to keep her looking her best. And through it all, she remained ever humble and contrite.

While relishing the welcome-home hugs and kisses, she sounded less than contrite about her stretch behind bars.
“I did almost a year in prison, a year in prison, just because my name is Foxy Brown,” she said.

[From the New York Daily News]

Actually I checked with the courts (and by that I mean Wikipedia) and Foxy actually did eight months in prison just because she assaulted several people on several occasions and violated her probation. Oh and her name isn’t really Foxy Brown. So pretty much no part of that statement is accurate.

Foxy’s Rolls-Royce took her straight to church, where she spent some quality time being expressing her gratitude to the man upstairs. Well after she did some shopping and ate some chicken.

Rapper Foxy Brown got out of the Big House Friday, and said she was heading straight for God’s house. “The first place I want to go is church. I’ve got to get on my knees,” the hip-hop honey said. First, though, she went shopping in Harlem and stopped for a little soul food. Then she made a beeline for her childhood home in Brooklyn.

“Feels good, feels good, feels good,” she said, climbing out of a white Rolls-Royce Phantom and running up the stoop of her family’s Prospect Heights home into her mother’s arms. “I love you, Mommy,” she told her mother, Judith Marchand, who presented the freed jailbird with smiley-face balloons and an arrangement of cut fruit shaped like flowers. “This is my house, my mother and whole family, my neighborhood, the room I wrote my first rap song in,” Brown gushed, as a VH1 film crew captured the moment for an upcoming reality show. “This is real emotional for me.”

[From the New York Daily News]

I live right next to Prospect Heights, and all I can say is I’ve spent the last 24 hours pretty damn scared. Where is Foxy Brown? Does she currently have a cell phone in her hand? What about a Blackberry or a Palm Pilot? It’s likely that there’s several nail salons within walking distance – does Foxy know where they are? Statistically speaking, what are the odds of me running into her? If I do, what are the odds that she’ll hurl whatever’s in her hand at me? I’m guessing the answer to the latter is about 70/30. Which is why I will now be walking around Brooklyn with protective headgear for the next three weeks, until I hear that Foxy’s gotten acclimated and settled down. Until then, expect that I won’t be leaving the house. The rest of New York City should probably consider following suit.

Here’s Foxy emerging from a white Silver Cloud Rolls Royce to greet her fans on 19th Ave as she is released from nearby Rikers Island Correctional Facility in East Elmhurst, Queens yesterday. Images thanks to Splash.

Foxy Brown set to be released

top-87710025.jpg

Hide your Blackberries, cell phones, and nail implements, Foxy Brown is getting out of jail. Those eight months just flew by for the rest of us in Brooklyn who had this fleeting feeling of safety. Now I’m going to be looking over my shoulder everywhere I go, fearful that I have somehow managed to piss off Foxy Brown and she’s going to attack me with whatever happens to be in her hand at the time. Foxy has completed her sentence for a probation violation, and is about to be back into the world.

Foxy Brown is finally out of the foxhole. After serving eight months in prison for violating probation, the rapper will be released on April 18, according to her manager, Chaz Williams.

Williams told Billboard that Foxy, real name Inga Marchand, “did every single minute of her bid in jail, and she did it under the most severe conditions. They had her under continuous lockdown just because she is a celebrity. They were trying to break her spirit.” Once out, Brown is rumored to have a possible reality TV show in the works and her album, Brooklyn’s Don Diva, is also set to be released on May 13.

Brown’s legal troubles may not be over, though. She’s due back in court on May 5 in on assault charges over an incident in which Brown allegedly threw a Blackberry at her neighbor. She also has battery and obstruction of justice charges pending against her in Florida.

[From OK! Magazine]

Wow, the most severe conditions. That’s terrible. How dare they keep her on lockdown when she’s attacked other inmates and prison guards? Don’t they know she’s Foxy Brown? She’s allowed to beat you down whenever she feels like it. But don’t you dare keep her isolated in her cell to protect everyone else’s safety, because that means you’re trying to break her spirit. I don’t think it occurs to Chaz Williams that the penal system probably has bigger things to think about than Foxy Brown and breaking her spirit. Bite a guard: stay in your cell. The same rule applies to everyone else in jail.

The odds seem pretty good that Foxy will end up back in jail for at least one of the two charges she’s still facing. Hopefully that’ll keep the rest of us safe from flying cell phones and personal emailing devices for another few months.

Foxy Brown would like to be let out of prison. Thanks.

Foxy Brown, the rapper with a crazy sense of entitlement, has requested that she be let out of Riker’s Island prison after just four months into her year long sentence. Her argument is that she’s having trouble with her cochlear implant, and needs to go to Los Angeles to have a specialist look at it. No, the New York doctors aren’t good enough. And she’s not asking for a few days or weeks, but feels that – due to the problems with her hearing, she should just be let out altogether, and not held responsible for any of her crimes. And the woman has a crazy long rap sheet. So to speak.

“I am terrified of not hearing a fire alarm go off, or being locked in a cell, and someone not being kind enough to let me out, since not everyone understands the severity of my condition,” Brown wrote in a four-page letter attached to her attorney’s motion.

Two surgeries to ease her cochlear comfort failed, attorney Laura Dilimetin wrote in the petition filed on Brown’s behalf in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan. “If her hearing is damaged any further, it will affect the way she hears, and it will affect the way she sings. It will have dire consequences on her ability to maintain her profession and livelihood.”

Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, wants to be out by Jan. 30 in order to “have her cochlear implant reprogrammed and repaired” at the House Clinic in Los Angeles, “or else face imminent harm to her hearing,” Dilimetin wrote. “Her condition is worsening in jail since she cannot obtain at Rikers the proper treatment,” the motion states. “Ms. Marchand does not want to risk such a sensitive and complicated process to centers that have failed her in the past.”

[From E! News]

I love the line that she’s afraid there might be a fire “and someone not being kind enough to let me out.” Honey that has nothing to do with your hearing, you’re just afraid of that. If you could hear just fine, there’s still the same chance someone “won’t be kind enough” to unlock the cell and let you out. That’s part of prison – if there’s a fire, it’s going to be problematic. And another part of prison is that it’s scary. You don’t get let out because it’s scary, you don’t commit crimes in the first place because it’s scary.

Brown also said prison is serving no purpose and isn’t helping her, so they might as well just let her go.

Yes, I’ve made some bad choices and stupid mistakes. But please understand that sitting in a prison with murderers and criminals is not rehabilitating or what I need to deal with my inner issues,”

[From E! News]

First off, you’re sitting in a prison with criminals because you are a criminal. And odd as it is, criminals don’t get a say in what they need to deal with their inner issues. Maybe once you’ve served your debt to society, but we have a retributive, not restorative justice system. Like it or not, this isn’t about making you all better. Part of me wishes it were, but the other part of me knows someone like Foxy would just take advantage of that. This is about punishment. You don’t get your fancy specialists, 600 thread count sheets, or diamond rings in prison. It sucks. That’s the point, so you won’t do it again. Give someone a reason to believe you’ve already changed, and then we’ll talk. But when you miss the entire point of your incarceration, and your argument is based on it, then the whole thing gets thrown out the window.

Foxy Brown gets Gucci and Louis Vuitton in prison


Boy Foxy Brown sure leads a charmed life. Even in prison the rapper has better footwear than most of the rest of us could ever dream about. According to the New York Post, Foxy, 27, pairs Louis Vuitton and Gucci sneakers with her prison jumpsuit. And when her designer shoes get dirty, she gets a new pair. I have a degree in criminology, and I’m pretty sure I never had a class called “Designer labels in prison.” Most of the prisoners I’ve met were thrilled when they got to wear something from K-Mart with their uniforms. Is anyone else thinking WTF?

Not surprisingly, Foxy is still having some serious issues in prison. She was put in solitary confinement after refusing to take a drug test, mouthing off to guards, and getting into a shoving match with another inmate. She was let out a month early – though her attitude doesn’t seem to have improved.

[Foxy]alienates most of the correction officers, threatening them with tough talk about the “juice” she has on the outside. She trusts no one but her mother and manager, and remains convinced, despite break after break, that everyone is out to get her. The diva Foxy Brown hasn’t changed one bit.

“If they release her today, she’ll be back in a week,” said Geoffrey Davis, a family friend who has visited the rapper several times since she was locked up at Rikers Island for violating her probation after a string of altercations. “I love her, and I have her best interests at heart, but I think she needs clinical help with anger management,” said Davis, an activist who runs a nonprofit, anti-violence organization in Brooklyn. Davis said he was trying to share with Foxy lessons from his own experience with anger and emotional distress. Davis’ brother, City Councilman James Davis, was slain by a political rival inside City Hall in 2003. But Davis said his advice has fallen on deaf ears. “She has to deal with her attitude,” Davis said.

[From the New York Post]

Foxy Brown is one of those people who is so arrogant and has such a ridiculous sense of entitlement that you actually want really bad things to happen to her. Okay I’m projecting. I actually want really bad things to happen to her. Her rap sheet is incredibly long, going back to her teen years. And she always takes her anger out on people she believes are here to serve her: maids, waitresses, manicurists, etc. Her issues don’t come from her deep-seated belief that she is better than everyone else. I’m guessing Rikers must be like a lot of other prisons that require inmates to supply their own clothing. Several that I’ve volunteered at had similar rules, however they didn’t allow any visible labels. Generally it meant a lot of Walmart white t-shirts and jeans; dealing with designer duds never even occurred to me. I hope they can find some reason Foxy can’t have her precious shoes: she’s been given too many breaks as it is.

Foxy Brown gets 76 days in segregation for jail fight

top-87710025.jpg

Foxy Brown is never one of those ladies to stay under the radar, on account of the fact that she likes to keep classy. And how do you keep classy in jail? Well a brawl, of course! Foxy’s been managing to stir up a fair bit of trouble for a woman who promised to get her act together and use her time in jail to meditate, think about her life, and become a better person. Maybe she thinks the best way to do that is to take that bitch Erica three cells over down a peg? Probably.

Rapper Foxy Brown has received 76 days in punitive segregation after she scuffled with another inmate at Rikers Island jail, authorities said Tuesday. Brown was separated from other inmates on Oct. 16, said Stephen Morello, deputy commissioner for public information for the city’s correction department. Brown, 28, and another inmate got into a shoving match earlier this month, said Morello, adding he didn’t know why the two were fighting. Neither inmate was injured. Following that incident, Morello said Brown was abusive toward correction guards and then refused to take a random drug test. The combined violations, Morello said, earned Brown more than two months in punitive segregation, where an inmate can spend up to 23 hours a day in isolation. A message left with Brown’s lawyer was not immediately returned. Brown is serving a year at Rikers for violating her probation in a case stemming from a Manhattan fight she had with manicurists in a nail salon.

[From Yahoo News!]

That seems like a really good idea. Considering Foxy has repeatedly proven that she’s unwilling to follow the rules or listen to her judge, I think it’s a really, really smart idea for her to get into a fight, then refuse to take a drug test and abuse guards. I’m pretty sure the guards are the ones with the clubs… and the ones who can be bribed… so being a jerk to them probably isn’t the best way to make your time fly by.

In addition to the fight, Foxy refused to get in the van to take her to Brooklyn for a hearing on October 12th. The hearing related to her throwing a cell phone at a neighbor (which is why her probation was revoked and she was sent to jail). I have to say, if I were stuck at Riker’s Island, where my only stimulation was watching the planes leaving from La Guardia (they’re practically right next to each other… I don’t think it was great NYC planning to put the largest jail community practically next to an airport, but that’s just me), I’d be pretty happy to get in a van and have my ass chauffeured to Brooklyn. It adds a little bit of variety to your day, and the odds are pretty good you’ll hear people with funny Brooklyn accents tawlking about cawfee. And that’s worth throwing a cell phone in and of itself.

Surprise! Foxy Brown lied about being pregnant


So I was sitting around, feeling all badly for poor, knocked-up, jailed Foxy Brown. Images of that lady who gave birth on the prison floor a few months ago kept creepy into my mind. Remember that one? She was in the Lackawanna County Prison, and the guards refused to take her to the hospital. She kept pleading with them, telling them she was in labor, and all they did was put her into a cell with a camera and ignore her. She gave birth on the prison floor, and one of the female guards had to cut the baby’s umbilical cord with her fingernails! True story. I kept imagining Foxy Brown in that kind of distress. Which sorta amused me. I mean no! That’s horrible, not even Foxy Brown should be subjected to such atrocities. But if anyone should, it’d be her. Oops. Well it turns out that won’t be happening anytime soon, unless Foxy manages to get knocked up by a sexually ambiguous cellmate.

“It turns out that the only thing Foxy Brown is expecting to do in jail is promote a record. Contrary to the buzz set off by the Chyna Doll rapper’s own attorneys, Brown is not three months pregnant, according to her manager, Chaz Williams.

“‘And to the pregnancy rumors, this is the official statement: She is not pregnant,’ Williams said Wednesday. Brown is currently behind bars at Rikers Island on New York’s East River, her home for the next year for violating her probation in connection with her 2004 throw-down in a Manhattan nail salon.

“‘This is just a temporary situation,’ Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, said in a statement. ‘I made my bed and have no problem lying in it. My will is steady. What doesn’t kill me will only make me stronger.’

Brown has not formally addressed the pregnancy talk, but she was quoted by the New York Post’s Page Six on Aug. 20, two days before she was locked up, saying, ‘I’m getting married in September. I’m pregnant.’ And even one of her lawyers said that she was expecting.

“‘She’s getting married, she’s three months pregnant, she signed a record deal two weeks ago and she is in contract for a reality TV show’ New York State Senator John Sampson told Jackson on Aug. 22 to stir sympathy for the jail-bound entertainer.”

[From E! News]

Oops! What are the odds the Foxy was misquoted at such a convenient time? Or that her lawyer was too? Pretty slim I bet. I guess there’s a chance that she was pregnant and had a miscarriage due to the stress of all the court stuff, but don’t you think she’d be blabbing about that, too? There’s really nothing Foxy won’t say or do to get her way. The rules apply to everyone else. Wanna make up a pregnancy so you don’t have to do time for your multiple crimes? That’s fine, you’re special. Really though, how did she think she’d get away with that? At some point there won’t be a baby, and I’m guessing people are going to put two and two together and start to get suspicious. She’s obviously allowed to lie to the press, but she could get in trouble for lying to the court. That would make me really, really happy. Especially if, someday when she does get pregnant, they make her give birth in a jail cell, as a retroactive punishment.

Foxy Brown gets a year in jail

foxybrownbehindbars.jpg
Illustration from prettyontheoutside.com
Some celebrities get a million second-chances, and some only get half a million. Foxy Brown seems to be the latter. After countless run-ins with the law Foxy is finally going to spend some significant time in jail, stemming from a probation violation. A New York City judge sentenced Brown to one year in jail for violating her probation after she threw her cell phone at a neighbor who complained when the rapper blasted music from her car for a prolonged period of time. Brown was arrested and charged after the incident, and will face a separate trial in Brooklyn. In addition to that arrest, which triggered the court appearance and probation overview, a Probation Department lawyer noted that they had filed four additional violations against Brown for leaving New York without telling the Probation Department and for moving from Brooklyn to Mahwah, New Jersey without seeking permission. She also failed to inform her probation officer that she’d received seven traffic summonses in New Jersey in the short time she’s been on probation. So all in all, rules don’t apply to her, even when she knows she’s being closely monitored and will go to jail for ignoring them.

“Foxy Brown was sentenced to one year in jail Friday for violating probation stemming from a fight with two manicurists in a New York City salon. Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson sentenced the rapper at a probation hearing for Brown, 28. ‘I’m not going to give you any more chances,’ the judge told Brown. ‘I hope you turn your life around and never again have to stand in a court of law.’

“Brown was also indicted in Brooklyn Friday on charges that she smacked a neighbor with a cell phone. Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was on three years probation for assaulting two manicurists at a Manhattan nail salon in August 2004. Just before her hearing began, Brown, in handcuffs and wearing an elegant gray pantsuit, asked the judge for yet another chance at freedom and promised to straighten out her life.

“‘I’m willing to do whatever I need to do to change,’ Brown told the judge. She said she had made a lot of mistakes before Jackson jailed her. ‘I realize that’s not where I want to be. It’s humbled me in ways I never imagined.’ Jackson replied, ‘Ms. Marchand, it’s too little, too late. I’m glad you’re learning something; that’s a positive.’ …The judge had said the defendant knew she would face a year in jail if she violated probation.”

[From Yahoo News]

Brown turned to her mother, who was in the courtroom, and burst into tears after being sentenced. Talk about too little too late. She’s one of those people who you can tell can only cry for herself. I don’t think that much of anything could humble Foxy Brown, considering her rap sheet, and the ways she’s historically freaked out on service people and others “below” her. Foxy is reportedly pregnant, so maybe giving birth in jail will be a start. Not the greatest start for the kid, no doubt, but if it somehow helps its mother become a human being, it might be worth it. According to many published reports, Brown turned down a plea deal offered by the prosecution, in which she would have only done 9 months. I can’t believe that she was so delusional to think a judge would give her less time than that. But she’s proven time and time again that she’s a crazed egomaniac, so logic probably didn’t enter into the equation. She’s above the rest of us, so of course she won’t really go to jail! Who knows what a year in jail will really do to someone like Foxy Brown, or how much time she’ll really spend, depending on good behavior and the notoriously overcrowded New York City jails. And she’ll likely get some special treatment, between the celebrity and supposed pregnancy. But there’s still a teeny, tiny chance that this will help her see the error of her ways and at least lose a bit of the attitude. I just hope they make her scrub toilets like Lindsay Lohan.

Foxy goes to jail and is supposedly pregnant

wenn833368wm.jpg

It seems that Foxy Brown’s spate of run ins with the law have finally caught up with her: she’s been sent to jail for violating her probation. Remember a few days ago, when we reported that she hit her neighbor in the head wit her Blackberry [http://www.celebitchy.com/5302/foxy_brown_charged_with_assault/]? Well it turns out that dreams do come true, and Brown has been sent to jail. Not specifically on the Blackberry offense, which has yet to go to trial (though it would sure be nice if the justice system worked that quickly). But because she was arrested for a violent crime, her probation was revoked. It also turns out – and here’s the real surprise – that Foxy hasn’t been going to her anger management classes. Can you believe it?

“A judge has jailed troubled rapper Foxy Brown for violating her probation, authorities said.

“Officials had sought to have the probation for the 27-year-old entertainer revoked after she was arrested last month in Brooklyn on charges she smacked her neighbor with her cellphone, said Jack Ryan, a spokesman for the city Department of Probation. They also complained that Brown had skipped her anger management classes and failed to get permission before traveling outside the city.

“On Thursday, Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson ruled Brown would have to remain behind bars until a hearing on Sept. 5.

“A call to Brown’s attorney was not immediately returned.

“Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was on probation for attacking two manicurists at a nail salon in 2004. She was arrested again on Aug. 17 for allegedly assaulting Arlene Raymond, 25, on July 30 after the pair got into a fight over Brown blasting her car stereo.”

[From USA Today]

It’s hard to tell if Foxy has an anger problem or a sense of entitlement. She’s spoken out several times saying that people are trying to take advantage of her, and fabricating stories of her assaults. Um, that’s a whole lot of people. It’d be a pretty massive conspiracy. She seems to think that fame buys her the right to do whatever the hell she wants. If she wants to blast her music outside her neighbor’s apartment, she can do that. And if she wants to smack her in the head for complaining about it, well that’s her right too! Ridiculous to think she should do otherwise. Her argument only carries so much weight – after enough legal troubles due to her angrily assaulting people, it’s hard to believe her anymore. In other news, according to the New York Post, Foxy has announced that she’s pregnant and getting married. That’s going to be fun to do from jail.

Foxy Brown charged with assault

cwp-001134.jpg

I can think of few people I’m more afraid of than Foxy Brown. Checking Wikipedia, Brown has eight arrests since January 1997. Most of them seem to be issues stemming from her anger issues. There’s also a lot of issues with her spitting on people (which is technically assault). Brown was arrested and charged with assault and possessing a weapon after she hurled her Blackberry at her neighbor. The weapon in question was the Blackberry itself, which legally counts as a weapon if you use it as such.

“The latest arrest could lead to her probation being revoked. ‘We have filed a violation of probation with the court,’ said Jack Ryan, a spokesman for the city Department of Probation.

“Brown was arrested Tuesday for allegedly assaulting Arlene Raymond, 25, who lives near the rapper in the Prospect Heights section of Brooklyn, on July 30. Police said the two women got into a fight over Brown blasting her car stereo. Raymond alleged that a few days later, they passed each other on the street and Brown hurled her BlackBerry at her, cutting her lip and knocking a tooth loose.

“Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was released on $50,000 bail after her arraignment Tuesday on charges of felony assault, misdemeanor assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Her manager, Chaz Williams, said the charges were false. Brown’s lawyer, state Sen. John Sampson, didn’t immediately respond to requests Thursday for comment.”

[From the Associated Press]

Brown was on probation due to an incident in 2004 when she attacked two manicurists at a New York City salon over her $20 bill which she refused to pay. She was sentenced to three years probation and forced to attend anger management counseling. Restraining orders were also granted to the manicurists. This latest infraction means she could go to jail – not for the Blackberry incident itself (though it’s possible) but because committing another assault is a violation of her probation from the 2004 incident. I think it also proves that the anger management counseling has done absolutely nothing for the pint-sized singer with a huge sense of entitlement. I’d really like to know what it is she’s so angry about. All of her criminal troubles stem from either run-ins with service people, police, or her car. Her first arrest, at the age of 17, came after she spat on two hotel employees when they told her they didn’t have an iron. Her next was for getting into a car crash while driving with a suspended license. There were several altercations with police officers (both in and out of the country), and several altercations with judges, one of which led to her being handcuffed to a bench for 15 minutes. Then there were all the poor salon owners. Never, and I repeat never, do Foxy Brown’s nails or sell her glue for her weave. Either way, you’re likely to end up with something thrown at your eye. And of course, being spit on. This is Foxy Brown, after all, and she’s known for being classy like that.

Foxy Brown Missing? (update: found)

tww-004883.jpg
Page Six has reported that Foxy Brown has been missing for over a week – since Friday, June 29th. Not just missing from paparazzi and the press, but missing from friends, family, and lawyers. Foxy Brown should never be far from her lawyers. She was last seen on a flight from Kennedy Airport to London, where she prevented the flight from leaving for over an hour. Members of her crew were late, and Brown employed several tactics to stall the plane.

“’She was trying to hold up the show because some of her entourage was late,’ said one passenger. ‘She got off the plane, then on, then off again. We’re sitting there for an hour and then the pilot comes on and said we’d be waiting a little longer for some people. Then another hour went by and they had to refuel.

‘The flight attendants said it was some of the most atrocious behavior they ever saw.’

Brown, who was ‘spilling out of’ a short green dress, ‘finally got on with her group and traded her first-class seat for a business-class seat so she could sit next to one of her people. It was an overbooked flight, so 400 people have to be inconvenienced? Some of them missed their connecting flights,’ our witness claimed.”

[From Page Six]

Jack Sampson, Foxy’s lawyer, seemed worried, but tried to downplay it when he talked to Page Six by noting that she could be working on her album. “We’re all trying to find Foxy…she’s probably getting some much needed rest. She’s been given authorization to travel and she could be working on her album. She is trying to get her album done. Depending on whom she’s working with, she could be anywhere.” But wouldn’t other people know about that? You’d expect that someone in her family or her famed entourage would be kept in the know.

A celebrity missing for a bit wouldn’t really be cause for worry in and of itself. However Brown’s criminal record (both as perpetrator and victim) makes it a bit more worrisome when she just disappears. Two weeks ago she was attacked by a group of women who beat her up, stealing her hearing aid and money from her purse. Fox had just dumped her boyfriend, a pimp, who then called on his “ladies” (is that the proper term? Forgive me, I’m not up on my pimp verbiage) to beat her up. Fox herself is known for having quite a temper, having hurled various items at not one but two manicurists over the past two years. Until that incident with the pimp, I would have said we probably don’t have to worry about Foxy Brown. Seemed like she could take care of herself. So let’s assume for the time being that unless the ratio is higher than 1 Foxy Brown to 3 Pimp’s Ladies, she’s probably fine.

Update by Celebitchy: Rhymes with Snitch points out that Foxy Brown was performing in Manhattan this weekend, so if she was missing that’s no longer true.
