September 12, 2005: Foxy Brown Sued over 2004 Baby Phat Incident Foxy Brown attended the Baby Phat after party in Manhattan's VIP Room yesterday evening, celebrating the launch of the brand's spring line with designer Kimora Lee Simmons, her husband Russel Simmons, and other celebrity friends. Brown (pictured below) arrived with actor/model Tyson Beckford, marking their second joint appearance in three days and fueling rumors that the pair is dating. Incidentally, Foxy awoke this morning to a lawsuit stemming from an incident at last year's Baby Phat event, the Washington Times reports. While preparing to leave the party in the early morning hours of September 12, 2004, Brown was assaulted in a restroom, and later told police that designer Tanya Manderson had ripped a $250,000 earring from her ear and stole a $7,000 Louis Vuitton handbag. Manderson, who was also identified by another witness at the nightclub, was subsequently charged with robbery, grand larceny, and criminal possession of stolen property. In spite of the charges, Manderson has maintained her innocence, and today filed suit against Brown, Black Crow Productions, Black Roses Entertainment, and Def Jam seeking undisclosed restitutions for "false accusations." Neither Foxy nor Def Jam representatives have commented on the suit. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
