Not Looking Good for Da Brat and JD

Posted by Bossip Staff

Da Brat Shayla Stevens

The young lady who was busted in the head a couple of weeks ago by Da Brat with a bottle of rum is bringing that attorney heat on both Da Brat and Jermaine Dupri’s club Studio 72. Via AHH:

Shayla Stevens, the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleader who was allegedly assaulted by Da Brat earlier this month, has hired prominent attorneys Willie Gary and CK Hoffler and their firm, Gary, Williams, Finney, Lewis, Watson and Sperando P.L. Da Brat, born Shawntae Harris, allegedly struck Stevens with a 1.7 liter bottle of rum during a shoving match in the club in the early hours of November 1. According to Gary, Stevens has suffered permanent injuries to her face, as well as possible neurological damage. Additionally, she will miss upcoming games as cheerleader for the Falcons, as well as a scheduled role on Tyler Perry’s House of Payne sitcom. Gary, who is nicknamed “The Giant Killer” for his judgments against corporations, is noted for winning a $240 million jury verdict against Walt Disney, for stealing his clients idea for a theme park.

He also claims that the owners of Club 72, hesitated to contact police due to the negative publicity the assault would cause. A manager who witnessed the assault allegedly failed to help Stevens seek proper medical attention and she was eventually taken to the hospital by a family member. Gary also said that prior to the assault, club owners and security had the opportunity to remove Da Brat from Club 72, but failed to do so. Da Brat was charged with aggravated assault. She was released on $50,000 bond as a result of the incident.

Damn, somebody is about to come up. SMH.

  3. Jauron

    That f*cking b*tch Brat just hit the girl because she was jealous of her looks..


  4. Wow. The Brat can bust me over the head if that means getting her money. Oops. Too late. The pennies she made from all that vH1 foolishness is going to go to this chick.

  5. Unkle Kracka

    You blacks are just as worst as the jews. Sue, Sue, Sue, why dont you jobs and stop trying to take the easy way out.

  6. joe

    i like the brat as an aritist and celebrity personality, but she has to be responsible for her actions and suffer the consequences.

    when will people learn that they have no right to *****ult people? you DON’T have an excuse to go around beating on people becasue you don’t like what they say or do.

    i think only truly incompetent people choose to fight becasue they areunable to express themselves verbally.


  7. Da Brat??? Money??? Really???

  8. 6 Figgas

    Dumb *****.


  9. da brat is a nu fool

  10. M-DADDY OAKLANDS FINEST

    A LIL ADVICE FOR BRAT: GROW THE EFF UP !!!

  14. Mississippi Girl

    Good for her stupid *****!! How in the heck can you hit someone in the head with a bottle and think that you are not suppose to suffer the consequences!!! She needs to sue her crazy elementary *****!! Da Brat has never been hot in my book! Even in the damn 90’s!! She had about 2 songs that were ok. But she is really trippin these days thinking that she was the greatest “MC” in her day!! She wants people to think that she is so hard by putting on this image! I remember going to school with people like her. Notice that I said “school”, which means Da Brat needs to grow the hell up!

  15. Just Sit And Be Pretty

    Wow, that cheerleader will never have to work another day in her life!! No seriously, these celebs need to get their ***** together and think before they act so impetuously. I’m so sick of seeing them and our star athletes make stupid decisions that not only negatively impact their reputations…but their paper!! We’ve got to stop the random dumbness!

  16. N-Qui-Sa-Tive?

    JD when you got it good, sometimes you have to let those old ghost go. You can’t bring/keep everyone up at the top. She had her chance a LOOOONNNNGGGG time ago. See, now it’s gonna cost ya!

  17. 504okaay

    P.S….I MEANT TO SAY “BEFOE” LOL


  18. She looks like a damn fool.

  19. Georgia Girl

    Okay, 1st of all, the victim is a VERY good friend of mine and I know for sure that there was ABSOUTELY NO ALTERCATION that EVER took place. That is just a made up story (by Brat’s publicists) to make Da Brat not seem like the psychopath that she really is. This was no doubt a case of mistaken identity! Da Brat thought Shayla was some “other” chick she had beef with and ran up on her with a bottle.

  20. Bahama Mama

    Ain’t no one saying what kind of rum it was cot damnit!!! Now if it was that expensive ish, Brat a$$ needs to sued! You don’t go wasting good rum…lmao


  21. Sometimes I honestly think black folks like acting a fool!

    What was the point??

  22. BB

    “She might never have to work again,” but will that give her back her face…NO. Have you guys ever seen a rum bottle? It’s much denser than most bottles, it would take tremendous force to cause it to shatter in someone’s face. Allegedly, this cheerleader has sustained a deep laceration on her face as well, which could spell nerve damage bringing life-long complications.

    Da Brat deserves jail for this *****, but not any ole’ jail for her to have a lezbolicious time, put her in a male-prison, that’ll teach the focker.

  23. blackstar

    I am Glad she should have learned the first time the Brat is out there she is in her 30’s acting like she’s in high school that little girl is going to get Paid by JD and DaBrat My advice get in the studio and start making tracks because Willie Gary goes after Corporations and wins Good luck

  24. Just Sit And Be Pretty

    Georgia Girl, then if that’s the case, I really hope your friend gets a huge settlement!! Just tell her to invest wisely and don’t spend it all in one place. :-)

  25. Nivia

    @ Georgia Girl

    Thanks for giving us the truth! On another blog they had Shayla’s last name as Smith and I was like WTF!

    Anyway, Shayla and I danced together in Essence at FAMU and we lived in the same apartment complex. She is one of the sweetest people I ever met and I wish her a healthy recovery.

    Da Brat sucks for this one! she can’t live off “Funkdafied” forever, time to pay up!

  26. 2peaces

    Is it me, or was it yesterday, I saw a picture from the urban gossip blogs of Beyaki’s ugly dress in the Daily News newspaper. There are all kinds of trolls on these sites. Proud to see most of us know when they throw out bait and ingnore them.

  27. Just Sit And Be Pretty

    BB, I should have put a smiley face behind my comment about her never having to work again. And they do wonders with facial plastic surgery these days. If she needs work, she just has to thoroughly research her doctor and make sure he’s board certified!!

    Now I don’t think da Brat needs to go to the pen for this, but maybe do a stint in a minimum security place. I mean, c’mon, she didn’t commit murder.

  28. Observatrice

    Hey, Da Brat — if you want to start beef for publicity, make sure the other person is in on it, don’t just roll up on someone you don’t know for no reason. Grow up Brat, and get the GED too, maybe that will bring some sense to you

  29. joe

    @ Just Sit and Be Pretty…

    with the late Dr. West and other misfortunes, it looks like it’s becomming apparent (at least to me) that getting “work” can lead to lots of other problems.

    simply stated, it isn’t as easy as we may think. shayla would have been better off not having to go through this at all.

    IMO, i rather work for the rest of my life and have my original parts that to not have to work and go under the knife as a full time job.

  30. Notch

    Da Brat: “yo do you like *****es??”

    shayla: “um no”

    Da Brat: “do you wanna be my girl anywayz?”

    shayla “um..double no”

    Da Brat (pops her in the head with captain morgan’s rum): “***** dont you know who I am?? I am da brat ta tat tat!!”

  31. kali

    Okay so I know I am late…try not to clown :-) But what does “SMH” mean?


  32. ummmmm

    what money does the brat have????? i went to a concert two years ago and she was the hype man. AND she CLEARLY is too eager to hop on VH1 shows…so unless there is a Brat of love in the works….i’d say the checks HAVE stopped coming in.

    atleast with any hopes of getting a large settlement. that cheerleader gonna have to be as petty as the Goldman clan cuz DISNEY — she is not!

  33. Reformed GammaRay

    SMH= SHAKING MY HEAD

    this is ridiculous, and what threat did that lil petite girl pose to that rubberband bandit, don’t fuss wit the gender confused folks..bustin bottles over people head this is not a movie or the soundtrack to your life brat tat tat.. man up.

  34. adsa

    Willie Gary is a sick lawyer, he’s on Jonnie Cochran’s level, but without the notoriety. The only time he *****ed up is when he got some broad pregnant, and had to pay up.

    I don’t see the broad that got beat up losing.

  35. Just Sit And Be Pretty

    joe, you’re right, that’s why, unless I got totally jacked up in an accident or needed it for medical reasons , I’d NEVER go under the knife. You must have missed my earlier post, because I think that there are repercussions for African Americans getting elective surgery that might not exist for others, i.e., highest rates of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.

    Of course Shayla would have been better off if she hadn’t been bonked on the head. And I think you’re either reading too much or misunderstanding the statement I made about her not having to work again in her life.

    It wasn’t an either/or statement, or a “which would you prefer”. It was simply made in reference to the size any potential settlement she might get.

  36. BB

    Please, if any of us committed a crime like this we would probably get some jail time. I say give the ***** the slammer!


  37. Reformed GammaRay

    exactly!!

    What 33 year old woman is still runnin around here fightin……in the club??

    lmbbo@that picture of baby.

  46. vjhe

    SEND BRAT TO JAIL!!!!!!! This thread says the girl was hit in the head, but more specifically, that girl was hit in the FACE with a bottle. I’m not surprised the girl has permanent scarring and neurological damage. I can’t imagine a woman being hit in the face with a bottle like that. Brat is a thug and deserves to be sued and sent to jail.

    And before all you folks come out of the woodwork posting about keeping these celebs who act a fool in your prayers, I hope you actually pray for the victim in this case.

  47. iluvprada

    Good ‘n Thick; GOOD point!


  48. Good ‘n Thick

    …what does ITA mean?

  49. Just Sit And Be Pretty

    Gotcha joe. :-)

    ITA- i totally agree


  51. Oh ok, thanks!! All these abbreviations be having my head spinnin’…I can’t keep up.

  52. elle

    She messed with the wrong somebody.

    What type of woman hits another woman with a bottle in her face over a shoving match?

    Sickening

  53. Good 'n Thick

    @ just sit and be pretty,

  58. WhatTheHell?

    Oh Brat, you dumb ***** dumb dummy.

    I guess Jermaine Dupri will be paying off his judgment and his girl’s. Brat will spend the next 20 years trying (and I stress, trying) to pay him back.

  59. leave it be

    seriously, are we gonna see da brat on v-h1 again? because she is gonna need money and v-h1 seems more than willing to co-sign foolishness..


  60. idon’t even wanna see her on this post

  62. iBOSSIP@SCHOOL

    oh hay

    u know this comment thing aint the same no mo…it dont tell u when new comments

  64. NubianGoddez

    I keep hearing that David Chappell skit in my head “when keep it real goes wrong” lol them lawyers are going to go brattatat on dat azz. serves her dumb ***** right. what makes her think she can just go around beating on folks, your ***** will get locked up and lobbed with numerous felonies. I see a future when the checks stop coming in like a poster said. she needs some serious jail time and anger management for a year to bring her back to reality.

  65. FineAsWine

    ISSMH!!

    THE LIL DUDE BE KILLIN ME,,, POINT HIM IN THE BRATS DIRECTION….THAT HOE IS WASHED UP

  66. me

    yea ok…brat doesn’t have any money so her deep pocket objective probably won’t pan out. we’ll see…


  67. THIS HAS TO BE BRAT’S DUMBEST STUNT YET. YOU SO HARD BUT GOT TO USE A BOTTLE TO BEAT SOMEONE!! SUCH A DUMB,CHILDISH SUPPOSE-TO-BE FEMALE! GO SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE AND GATHER SOME NEW MATERIAL.

  68. dee vee

    When was the last time she actually had a CD? She will soon be doing low budget girl on girl *****.

  69. FineAsWine

    @DEEVEE

    DONT YOU MEAN SHE/HE ON GIRL *****???

    LOL

  70. Reformed GammaRay

    oh shoot! I was gonna ask what ITA meant too!

    Youz welcomed Kali!

    OH and..simply and utterly *DEAD* @ lezbolicious..

  71. jjones

    man the brat aint got no money, she cant take what the brat dont have

  72. jjones

    Seattle Slim/HappyNappyHead

    you need to get that ***** off that blog. the real that was written and the one i read was a study about kids earn less than they parent nto just blacks. its funny how you ***** try to switch it up to make blacks look bad

  73. wifey

    Jermaine’s responsibility in this incident might be limited. Unless his business was somehow negligent (like continuing to serve Brat alcohol after she was already drunk),Jermaine’s liability will be limited.

    “Big Balla” Brat, however, is going to pay. What little money she’d managed to hustle is going to go to this woman. Pathetic. She hasn’t done anything substantial musically in years, and Jermaine has tried to help homegirl along, and this is how she repays him.

    She don’t care because people have allowed her to act a fool her whole life with no consequences. Oh well. Life will make you grow up whether you are ready or not. This woman deserves every penny she is going to get from this situation.


  74. Wait a minute…this gal has a scheduled role on Tyler Perry’s House of Payne sitcom??? Didn’t they already air the last episode?

  75. Country Girl

    The House of Payne has been renewed, so I’m sure that they are shooting episodes for the new season. The Brat is an idiot, and needs to be held fully responsible for her actions. The cheerleader needs to get paid, and Brat needs jail time, probation, community service, anger management, the whole kit and caboodle.

  76. Emily

    Its such a shame that such violence is so prevalent… hopefully da’brat will learn from this.

  78. crest

    @wifey -jd is also at fault because shayla was working for him as a waitress and he didnt create a safe work environment. the person who *****aulted her was also an employee of jd because the brat is still signed to him.

  79. fan

    He is a cuttie! I am his big fan! He has a major crush on beautiful single moms, according to CNN. His personals ad was found on a millionaire dating site called Wealthy Romance dotcom last week!

  80. Queenie

    I really don’t think Brat has any money. Am I wrong?

  81. bonnie

    Willie Gary? Nuff said. If you are going to hire someone on a case like this, he is the one to hire. Brat is too old to be ackin’ like this in a club. I know she is JD’s homie but sometimes ya gotta fall back from your past to move ahead. He was probably letting her hang out, enjoying VIP status and this is what she does. Probably over nothing. Just stupid..

  82. Kat

    Someone watched “Why did I get Married” one too many times. Bottles do not solve problems.

  83. Divab

    She outta sue that dumb *****! I dont blame that girl.. She got some GOOD ***** lawyers too! Willie Gary is NO JOKE!

  84. CubaLinda

    Willie Gary… Da Brat dont want those problems!!

  85. hey girl

    Maybe Da Brat still thinks she is relevant, and was upset that the younglady did not know who she was.. but any hoo she is so stupid. What would make her tyhink that she could hit anybidy over the head witha bottle and not face some type of retalliation…via the legal systemor a East side beat down…haha


  86. Unkle Kracka, get a life???? If anyone would break a bottle over my head I’m going to sue, sue, sue!!! Especially if they are grown and should know better. Blacks, whites and every other color race sues! So get a life and get off of this website if you don’t like what you are reading!!!!!!

  87. kai

    Lol I will not allow anyone to buss me over my head with a bottle even if it is for millions lol ..some of you *****s on here are HILARIOUS. Unkle Kracka is not even worth responding to.

  88. OneTightSista

    U know Brat tried to holla and got her feelings hurt. I dont like her get wit wanna be ***** no way ever since she had the NERVE to call the other celebrities on Surreal Life “Has Beens” *****! you a “Never Was” with your one hit wonder *****!


  89. Notch

    Da Brat: “yo do you like *****es??”

    shayla: “um no”

    Da Brat: “do you wanna be my girl anywayz?”

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    ROTFLMAO!!

    damn,I use to be a really big fan of hers back in the day and is ashamed to say so. She is too old to be in a club fighting. Like Nas said, ‘I guess she’s in her second childhood’

  90. Stop The Madness

    I hope homegirl gets paid…

    I dont think Da Brat has that much money though.

    I would doubt she has even $500,000 in the bank.

    She aint selling no records, and isn’t selling out tour dates either.

  91. BobC

    What a violent piece of sh*t. Da Brat obviously can’t be a part of civilization.

  92. okiedoke

    I keep hearing that David Chappell skit in my head “when keep it real goes wrong”

    ——–A BIG LMAO @ NUBIANGODDEZ——I FORGOT ABOUT THAT SKIT———:)

    but seriously JD and whoever owns STUDIO 72, will have to pay a huge chunk of whatever settlement..but BRAT may have to sell what she owns if she owns property or any other *****ets that can be liquidated in order to settle the lawsuit. A court can make you do that! she should have thought about all that b4 trying to impress her ALL GIRL entourage that was there.

  93. DANA

    i dont know about JD but its definatley lookin bad for da brat! I’ll be surprised if JD “takes up” for her on this one!

  94. CAT EYES

    DA BRAT ALWAYS PICKS PEOPLE SHE THINKS SHE CAN BEAT BUT ONE DAY SOMEBODY IS GONNA BUST HER ***** SO GOOD!

  95. Ciera Tuircuit

    I think DaBrat should have waited unit she caught the ***** by herself and then bust her over the head.
