Celebrity Justice
Foxy Brown Gets a Year in the Slammer!

Foxy Brown will spend the next year in jail for violating her probation -- and she's going straight back to a cell on Rikers Island, where she's spent the last two weeks.
Breaking News: Foxy Brown
TMZ was in the courtroom when it all went down, and Judge Melissa Jackson slammed Foxy's pleas for mercy, calling her a "great actress," and saying that if this were the first time she'd apologized, she might be believable, but not now. We're told that Foxy was visibly distraught by the verdict, and her mother refused to talk to reporters outside. Foxy originally was sentenced to the probation after an assault on two employees at a nail salon in Manhattan.

Outside the courtroom, cops from New Jersey -- where she allegedly lied to cops about her birthdate and state of residence -- told TMZ that she got what she deserved. Interesting note: if she serves the full term, Foxy will give birth in prison.

Story developing ...




The bad news didn't end there for Foxy (real name: Inga Marchand), as she was also indicted in Kings County for her alleged attack on a Brooklyn woman with a BlackBerry. What's more, she was indicted on charges of battery in connection with an incident at a Florida hair salon in February.

Her lawyer Alan Stutman told TMZ that he thought the punishment was "unfair." TMZ has learned that Foxy will be transported later tonight to a women's facility on Rikers Island where she will serve her sentence, during which she will be eligible for parole in eight months -- if she behaves, that is.

16. I agree with you 100% #11, those other chicks get 1 day in jail for drunk driving among other things. I mean does that really make sense??? The judicial system is nothing more than pure BS!!!

I hope she learned her lesson.

18. It's true that Paris only spent days in jail, but you have to remember this. Paris was not out there committing assault. Where Foxy committed assault not once but twice. I agree Paris got off easy,but Foxy was actually putting her hands on folks. There's a difference.

19. The only thing I hate is that she didn't take it like the true "soldier" that she's supposed to be! She should have just politely asked for mercy & if she didn't get it she should have just remained stoic & TOOK HER MEDICINE>>>WEAK BYTCH!!!

20. Foxy Brown was wrong for what she did!!! But, Lindsey, Nicole, Paris spent hardly no time in jail and they will eventually hurt someone because they got a slap on the hand and they didn't learn their lesson. There is no justice at all until Jesus through his kingdom fixes this racist world we are in.

27. How long does one spend in jail if sentenced a year. In LA county that would be 10 hrs so what is it in newyork

28. Please don't make this about race. Foxy has been acting like a spoiled child with poor impulse control and she has gotten away with it for years. How many times can she assault someone, violate her probation, and not go to jail? She knew what was at stake and she behaved the same way she always does and guess what, she's going to jail.

29. Ahhhh.............New York justice............refreshing............and long overdue. Celebrities, don't get busted in NYC, we don't care who you are, black, white, brown, purple........yes, there is racism and injustice in NY, rest in peace Yusef Hawkins,Sean Bell and others, but for spoiled freaking brat celebrities...........Ha Ha Ha Ha...........Paris would still be in jail, so would Nicole and as for Linds...........oh girl, you would be in Bedford by now, my girl!!!!!!!1

30. I was going to say that it was a racist thing but when you think about it it's not. She did assault people. That's a HUGE factor. But I feel bad because she's pregnant and will either give birth in prison or have to go to prison right after her baby is born and miss all that bonding time with it. Sometimes becoming a mom changes people for the better( Nicole) but then again sometimes it doesn't( Britney). So who knows! But I'm glad to see people NOT getting celeb justice for once and having to stand consequences just like the rest of us.
