Foxy Brown will spend the next year in jail for violating her probation -- and she's going straight back to a cell on Rikers Island, where she's spent the last two weeks.
TMZ was in the courtroom when it all went down, and Judge Melissa Jackson slammed Foxy's pleas for mercy, calling her a "great actress," and saying that if this were the first time she'd apologized, she might be believable, but not now. We're told that Foxy was visibly distraught by the verdict, and her mother refused to talk to reporters outside. Foxy originally was sentenced to the probation after an assault on two employees at a nail salon in Manhattan in 2004.
Outside the courtroom, cops from New Jersey -- where she allegedly lied to cops about her birthdate and state of residence -- told TMZ that she got what she deserved. Interesting note: if she serves the full term, Foxy will give birth in prison, though she made no reference to her pregnancy in her
The bad news didn't stop with the jail sentence: Brown (real name: Inga Marchand) was also indicted in Kings County today on charges that she bashed a Brooklyn woman's head with her BlackBerry, and she still faces assault charges in Florida arising from an incident in which she allegedly spat on and threw hair glue at a beauty salon employee.
Brown's lawyer told TMZ that he thought her punishment was too harsh, and that she was being made an example of by the judge. She could be eligible for parole in eight months with allowances for good behavior.
