Da Brat Headed To Da Slammer

Posted Fri Aug 22, 2008 4:25pm PDT by Lyndsey Parker in Reality Rocks

Well, it's just been announced that Da Brat--old-skool rap icon, BFF of Mariah Carey, lone witness to the Mariah/Nick nuptials, and star of such reality gems as The Surreal Life, Celebrity Fit Club, and Celebrity Rap Superstar--will spend the next three years imprisoned not in a Surreal Life McMansion with Chyna Doll and Adrianne Curry or in a fitness bootcamp with Dustin Diamond, but in an actual prison.

Not sure which is worse, reallly...

In all seriousness, Da Brat's bratty ways have finally been punished, after she allegedly used the broken end of a rum bottle to slash the face of a waitress/nemesis at Jermaine Dupri's Studio 72 nightclub in Georgia. Brat was sentenced today by an Atlanta judge on charges of felony aggravated assault.

This isn't the first time Da Brat's been in trouble with da law...but really, any glimpse of some of her hot-headed scenes in past reality shows would have given the prosecution in this particular case all the ammo they needed to secure a conviction. See here:

Da Brat may be bratty, but one thing's certain: She sure is good TV. Someone please give this celebreality C-lister her own pre-prison reality show, just like BET did with Lil' Kim! Please!

Actually, Da Brat's crime is pretty serious. I think VH1 needs to do a more serious "Celebrity Rehab"-style show that treats anger management. Vanilla Ice and Da Brat should go on it.

Report abuse

Well, she co-wrote a song on Mariah's new album so that upgrades her from D to C. She's still not as cool as Jane Wiedlin, though.

I think everyone makes mistakes and have bad temper @ one point, she seems like a cool person very energetic and all. Maybe these 3 yrs in jail will cool her off and make her think better about her actions. I also think it would be a good idea if she takes "ANGER MANAGEMENT" class because that will help her and her image.

what a great role model

Please, please, please do not make her famous by spending time in jail. It's supposed to be a punishment for a bad crime and not a set for a TV show. This person needs to know that she must be responsible for her actions and not made famous for them when they are horrible.

She needs to get that anger in check. Broken rum bottle to the face?? That is serious...hope it's not as bad as it sounds.

14. Tiffany - Sat Aug 23, 2008 3:24pm PDT

Just to point this out, every singer, actor, or entertainer that shows their face on TV, HAS PROBLEMS.....let's see....Dustin Diamond has anger/ self centered/ financial problems....Vanilla Ice also has anger problems and is confused on whether or not if he loves his wife or not....Chyna Doll..ummmm..what the H#ll is she!....and Da Brat.....well, anger caught up and now she has to make friends in jail instead of on TV...wow! S#!$ happens!

16. Romper Grappler - Sat Aug 23, 2008 3:31pm PDT

stupid is as stupid does....hope she gets into more trouble in prison and they make her stay longer than original sentence...for all she's worth in society, it would be the best thing that could happen...Silly name "Da-Brat"...

Da-loser finally ends up where she belongs. I'm tired of seeing these thugs think they can do whatever they want without answering for it. This is good news for decent society.

Da who?

In order to be a has-BEEN you gotta BE first. Everyone knows who Jane Weidlin is. I've never heard of this idiot. So she's in prison now, what a shock!
