Foxy Brown

Troubled hip hop star Foxy Brown has been isolated from her fellow inmates during her current stint in New York's Rikers Island prison, according to reports. Brown, real name Inga Marchand, was jailed on August 22 by Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson for violating probation from a 2006 assault conviction following her recent arrest for assaulting her neighbor and driving on a suspended license. Newly-freed cellmates Teresa Pandolfo and Donolay Thomas claim the rapper was segregated from the rest of the prisoners and guards instructed people to stay away from her. Pandolfo tells the New York Post, "Everyone who passes by looks at her - she's usually sleeping or reading her books. Her hair looks like whoever did it ran. That's how much the weave is coming apart." Thomas adds, "She's alone all day, every day. They're just keeping her away from everybody. When other inmates yell to her, 'Hey, Foxy,' she'll just look up and wave. She's friendly, she's not uppity." A spokesman for New York's Correction Department said Marchand was separated from her fellow inmates for security reasons. The Candy star is expected to appear in court on September 7 for a hearing. The rapper was sentenced to three years probation last year after she was found guilty of assaulting two manicurists in 2004. She was also arrested in Florida in February for battery and resisting arrest in a Pembroke Pines beauty store. Source: WENN
