Looking brown but less than Foxy (check the courtroom sketch) our favorite anger management case was sentenced to a year (!) in jail Friday for her numerous probation violations. The judge didn't really buy it when the supposedly three-months pregnant Foxy — the pregnancy wasn't brought up in court and lawyers and relatives declined to comment — said she was humbled by the three weeks she spent in Rikers Island.
Nothing Foxy Brown said at a Manhattan probation-violation hearing yesterday could sway the judge, who sentenced the rap diva to a year in prison for repeatedly thumbing her nose at the criminal-justice system - including getting arrested three times in the last eight months.
"Miss Marchand," Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson told the rapper, whose real name is Inga Marchand, "it's too little, too late."
Something that might have set the judge over the edge was the fact that, in addition to everything else, Foxy had stopped attending her court ordered anger management classes, which, if nothing else, explains that Blackberry-throwing incident. If she is pregnant, she'll likely have her child in prison. And, although I don't like to see women convicted of crimes as petty as Foxy's have to give birth in the prison hospital, I don't know what else she really expected to happen. See ya in '08, Foxy.

Will she do her entire year though? Most ppl only do a third - at least here they do b/c of over crowding and stuff. Not sure if NY is the same. In any case a year seems excessive, but then again she's being treated like any other black woman would have - weaves and pregnant or not.
I don't think a year is excessive. She was suppose to be on her best behavior since she was on probation. She has been acting like Naomi Campbell Jr. as of late.
