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!

while in jail just may be someone bigger will teach you a lesson on how to treat people with RESPECT, Like the old song in the 50s. You also get what you sew like in the bible. SO WAKE UP. AND hopefuly when you come ou you will be a better persona and admend your ways and tell those that you hurt thay you are sorry and ask for their forgivness That is if they are Christian enough to for give you.

BRENT NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO WRITE AND PYSCO STONER PUT DOWN THE WEED. DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT SHE DID WHAT SHE DID BECAUSE SHE WAS A RAPPER? AND HOW ABOUT ALL OF THOSE OTHER IDIOTS THAT DO WHAT THEY DO AND HAVE NO PUBLICITY AT ALL. WHAT THEY THINK THEIR ABOVE THE LAW BECAUSE THEY SAW A MOVIE?

the victim needs to take her for every dime she has.

Poor Da Brat , another Hebrew Israelite bites the dust. Da Brat keeps talking about Jane being a has been, but at least all genres know who Jane is and Da Brat is only popular and known to the hip hop crowd. Better luck with your popularity behind bars , May The Most High be with you.

everyone who's hating and making shady comments on Brat, don't know the situation at the club that night....they know what the media tells...Brat will never be a has-been....Also, for those who don't know reality shows isn't all she's done! One more thing I bet none of yall have the balls to approach her and tell her face2face!!! Stop hating!!!

Da Brat? Who dat? lol Never heard if this person before - wasn't that the name of some line of slutty children's dolls? I hope the poor woman this criminal viciously attacked with a bottle sues for HUGE bucks and a piece of her future income as well. If that bottle had slit the victim's throat rather than her face - she could have been killed! 3 Years is a light sentence for assualt with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or do bodily injury. Attacking da Drat's bank account and earnings is the way to go! That's the only thing that really matters to these people. who live by the rule of greed, money and arrogance.

Brat, "You're a has been". Jane, I'm not offended but I'm hurt" Brat, You're not offended but I apologize anyway". Jane, I never received an apology". Jane, "Let's hug and be friends" Who cares?

The sad part here is her victim........BUT you all know with the justice system we have today......she will never spend a day in "gen pop" because she is a celebrity........they will "protect her" from the everyday criminals....the ones who really could teach her a lesson or two!!!!!!!

131. al`s barber shop - Sun Aug 24, 2008 10:51am PDT

celeb`s need to understand that THE LAW IS TO BE RESPECTED ! OTHER PEOPLES RIGHTS ARE TO BE RESPECTED AND WHEN YOU DO HARM TO SOMEONE TODAY! MONEY OR FAME CANT BUY YOU A PASS ALWAYS ,i hate the fact that rappers and others who come from a troubled background or past still implement that same life style into their lives as entertainers ,im african american and i had a rough life and if i had a show or an album or millions of followers !WOW JUST THINK HOW POWERFULL I OR THA BRATT COULD BE IN THE POLITICAL AREANA OF TODAY ! ITS A SHAME A WASTE OF 3YRS OF HER LIFE AND A WASTE OF TALENT. ANGER MANEGMENT IS NEEDED HERE,SERIOUSLY .

133. Lois - Sun Aug 24, 2008 12:39pm PDT

134. alan - Sun Aug 24, 2008 1:15pm PDT

just a smrtass know-it all that thinks she's above an beyond everyone else The name "Brat " suits her to a T.

135. El - Sun Aug 24, 2008 1:16pm PDT

Well she stood up for what she felt she had to she doesn't belong in jail tho the wrong people always wind up in there.

136. T-Bone - Sun Aug 24, 2008 1:18pm PDT

Who cares bout DA PIG. She is a has been never was no talent skank!!

137. Yahoo! Music User - Sun Aug 24, 2008 1:21pm PDT

She deserves what she got...maybe more....No talent to much money...I can't believe people listen to her crap....If she hadn't lucked into the $$$...music is at an all time low for the last 50 years....sad.....she's lucky theres losers out there that buy that excuse for music....If it was the 60's or 70's she certainly wouldn't make a dime....she might be the one wiping cars down at the local car wash.
For what its worth

at least shes a lesbian

139. #1 MOM - Sun Aug 24, 2008 1:32pm PDT

whoever said this "You reap what you sow. I only feel sorry for the person that she beat down. D*mn, Da Brat is arrogant and self-absorbed! Have fun in jail, where you belong." Is just plain old wrong. Noone knows why Da Brat did what she did to that waitress, but you don't deserve jail for slashing someones face. What next you cold [profane] someone in a club and you go to prison for life? Yeah ok she needs anger management but so does that never was Dustin Diamond aka Screech.

"she should have been imprisoned for bein a whack mc a long time ago"

Just like that faded mohawk you sporting you don't know anything about hip hop.
