Remy Ma's Courtroom Drama
Today there's talk of the chaos that ensued after Remy Ma's sentencing yesterday. To recap, so far in this ongoing saga there's been an alleged theft, a shooting, a conviction, a Rikers Island almost-wedding, an attempted jail break, a sentencing...and finally, what is hopefully the last bit of drama: the courtroom outbursts.
The NY Times reports that Remy's sentencing went from emotional to violent as the judge sentenced her to 8 years behind bars. Just after the gavel came down, her fiancee Papoose (real name: Shamele Mackie), "flew into a rage, lunging and cursing at court officers, then overturning a garbage can near the elevator banks." (Anyone else thinking Makeda Barnes-Joseph should be expecting a visit from Papoose?)
Prior to that, inside the courtroom, Remy was called “an extremely angry young woman” by Barnes-Joseph, the victim. She added in her letter, read before the court, that "after July 14, I stopped existing as a person. I am now known as a victim, a gold-digger, a groupie, a liar and thief. I will always be the girl they will whisper about. I will always be the girl who was shot by Remy.” The rapper had her own emotional statement, however, and some believe it got what was reportedly going to be a 13-year sentence, down to 8 years.
She excoriated some of the reporters who covered her trial for calling her a “hip-hop hellion,” saying her aggressive stage persona was precisely that: a “music industry creation” and “a facade. Remy Ma is not even close to who I am,” she said through tears. “I’m not a thug. I’m not a hardcore anything. I have feelings and emotions, and I’m a human being like anybody else. I’m Remy Smith.”Kleenex, anyone?“I apologize,” she said, “and I’m sorry for not saving you. I feel so bad for all the physical and mental pain you went through, and go through. Myself, I have a lifetime scar on my face. So I know the pain you feel when I look in the mirror.”

Really? Another post about this trash?
In that picture, which one is Papoose?
those are some hit biatches.
I bet neither of them has ever used the word "excoriate"..
nappy haired hoes!
meanwhile in china...
the one on the left looks like a muppet now that i think about it.
Yeah, you're right. You could probably put your hand up there and control her mouth and make her talk.
I thought she looked like a tranny. There's even a suggestion of facial hair above the lip. Also reminds me of the "female" gremlin in Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
Is that the wedding pictures?
Two comments.
1. That's one ugly dude on the left. He looks like Dennis Rodman in his drag queen phase.
2. What kind of name is Papoose? It sounds like the ass of an Indian woman (feather, not dot).
8 years is not enough.
Remy Ma should consider herself fortunate.
She needs to go to jail like a good little girl and get out of my news. I just don't care.
Papoose? Is that some brand of French hair conditioner?
papoose - Amerind name for a baby
fiancee - for females
fiance - for males
That is an early photo taken showing them going to their advanced English writing class. They had just left their calculus class and were in a change of clothes, so don't knock the way they look.

That pair is definitely not hittable noogie. You might as well inject ebola virus in your veins.
