FOXY BROWN JUMPED BY SOME GIRLS?:

Ex-man reportedly gets friends to rob her of purse, cash and plastic; she denies it ever happened.
(June 25, 2007)Email to a friend | Print Friendly *Police in Brooklyn say four women teamed up to mug rapper Foxy Brown early Saturday morning, but the artist swears that the robbery never took place.


According to the Associated Press, authorities have arrested 23-year-old Roshawn Anthony, described in reports as a stripper, and charged her with assault in connection with the robbery of a Louis Vuitton bag, $500 in cash and credit cards from Foxy early Saturday.


The suspects are rumored to be the female friends of her newly-dumped boyfriend, which may explain why Brown told reporters that no such robbery ever happened, and that she hadn't been at the location police gave, near a public housing complex.


"A lot of the time, people mistake me for someone else, or people always call in these false tips," Brown told the newspaper outside her Brooklyn brownstone Saturday. But according to an updated report from the Daily News, it was Brown who pointed out Anthony to police as her attacker before suddenly refusing to cooperate with authorities.

Anthony, Brown and her unidentified boyfriend had just attended a party at the Louis H. Pink Houses, the paper reported. Brown and her boyfriend ended up in his car at 5:30 a.m. in the East New York section of Brooklyn when she decided to dump him after finding out he was a pimp with a criminal record, sources said.


“This ex-boyfriend called some of his women, and they pounced on her,” a police source told the newspaper. “They beat her bad. They ripped out her hair weave. Her hair was a mess - and that seems to be what she cared about most."


Sources said the women also took off with her hearing aid. Police continue to search for the three others in connection with the assault, as well as Brown's ex-boyfriend.


Brown, 27, is currently on probation for assault, and faces a battery charge in a separate case.
