More legal woes for Foxy Brown
She appeared in a Florida courtroom this morning for a status hearing on her pending assault case in the state. The charges stem from a February 2007 incident in which the rapper stands accused of spitting and throwing hair glue at a beauty supply store owner in Pembroke Pines.
According to the Sun-Sentinel, her attorney Fred Haddad officially withdrew from the case because of “irreconcilable differences” with his client. While it is unclear what exactly caused Haddad to leave the case, local news channel CBS 4 reports that she may have tried to broker a deal with prosecutors without the lawyer’s knowledge. Allegedly she would have only received six months probation if she accepted the plea deal.
Haddad had spent the past few months preparing a case for trial.
”I think the problem is she doesn't like me,” Haddad said. "I have a problem agreeing to a plea deal. I didn't negotiate this. I put a ton of work into this case.”
Broward County Judge Joel Lazarus gave Foxy until May 8 to inform the court of her new attorney’s name.
Looks like Foxy has gone all 'Hollywood' now that she's out of the clink with a reality show in the works. I just hope she stays out of jail long enough to film it!
