Foxy Brown, Blackberry Tosser?

We knew it was too long without hearing about Foxy Brown and her legal woes! A Brooklyn woman is accusing the rapper of throwing her Blackberry in her face. Given Foxy's past brushes with the law, she may be in big trouble.

Arlene Raymond says that on July 30, at Prospect Place and Carleton, Foxy "just ran into me and she just started screaming, 'I hate you, bitch.' And she hit me with her BlackBerry. She just threw it at me." Raymond, who lives on the same St. Marks Avenue block in Prospect Heights as Brown, says that her eye was bleeding and that her tooth was loosened.

The police tell the Post that Brown and Raymond have a history of fighting: Raymond has complained about Brown's car stereo volume. About a week before the Blackberry incident, Brown had allegedly called Raymond "a low-life bitch" and added, "Bitch, you work in a pharmacy. You'll never be nothing," all while at the pharmacy where Raymond works.

Raymond says she wants Brown locked up: "She doesn't treat people right. She doesn't respect anybody. It happens all the time. She's rude. Maybe she thinks people are out to get her." Another neighbor agrees, "She would look at me rude. She would give me a scornful look and I didn't really like it. I just ignored it."

Brown's lawyer, State Senator John Sampson, did not comment on the matter.

To all the commentators complaining about the racist comments: do you not see Foxy Brown progressing the stereotypes of a "nappy headed ho"?

Look her up on wikipedia, under the subsection "Legal Run-ins" and you will see what I am talking about.

Not to mention her non-legal run-ins, such as being banned from Junior's for not paying her tab, and getting ROCKED by a pimp's gang of hookers.

If she isn't hood rat, I don't know what is. Cheers!

Can we sue the makers of the Blackberry for its part in this crime?

The next time someone tries to tell me that racism no longer exists and it’s time to move on, I will just point them to Gothamist comments and save myself copious amounts of debating time.

That sounds like it could describe a lot of celebrities.

You're missing the best tidbit:

"Brown's lawyer, State Senator John Sampson, did not comment on the matter."

Ah! Our tax dollars and government at work.

"Is she even a celebrity still? She hasn't released any music in ages."

That's because she's gone deaf and unless she's suddenly acquire the musical acumen of Beethoven she ain't gonna be putting out more "music" just more head cracking and isn't that what we need more of in the world today.

Reality Czech

I think Foxy is upset that her "hood" gentrified and there are now less than 10 nail salons on Flatbush ave.

#3, that wasn't Jen Chung's grammar, it was a direct quote of Foxy Brown as claimed by Raymond.

If Gothamist is at all at fault here, it is for not properly putting a (sic) afterward.

But then again, if that were the practice, this whole site would be (sic).

(hah)
