Rapper Foxy Brown, for the second time in three months, turned down a plea bargain Friday that would have spared her from any jail time for allegedly assaulting a pair of Manhattan nail shop workers in a fight over a manicure.
Under a deal proposed by the Manhattan district attorney's office, the popular performer would have served just 10 days of community service on misdemeanor charges of assault, attempted assault and harassment stemming from the incident on Aug. 29, 2004.
But Brown, who had turned down a similar offer in May, rejected this one as well, according to prosecutors. "She didn't commit any misdemeanor," said her attorney, Joseph Tacopina. "That's the bottom line."
Tacopina said negotiations would continue with the district attorney, and kept the door open for a possible resolution before trial.
The 25-year-old rapper, known for her revealing outfits and explicit lyrics, was due back in court on Sept. 22.
The incident occurred in the Bloomie Nails salon in the Chelsea section. Authorities charged that Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, attacked one worker with a cell phone clutched in her closed fist, kicking the woman as well. A second worker was struck in the face, authorities said.
Brown has repeatedly asserted her innocence in the case.
