Rap star Da Brat has been sentenced to three years in prison, with seven years probation and 200 hours of community service, for hitting a woman with a rum bottle at an Atlanta nightclub last year. She must also undergo substance abuse treatment, a mental evaluation, and go to anger management classes.
The occurrence took place last Halloween at Studio 72. The woman, a waitress at the club, now bears permanent facial scarring from the altercation. Brat, real name Shawntae Harris, stood as family members cried as she was taken into custody on Friday. Brat pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, and as she was led out the courtroom, she coolly looked over at relatives and said, “I love y’all.”
