Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Since 2003, Da Brat has largely stayed away from recording music herself and instead appeared as a featured artist on other tracks. 

In 2007, she was involved in an altercation at a Halloween party, striking waitress Shayla Stevens in the face with a rum bottle, and pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. She was sentenced to three years in prison, seven years of probation, and 200 hours of community service, and was officially released from prison in 2011 (via CNN). 

Upon her release, she starred in her own YouTube series, "Brat Chronicles: In Transition," and has gone further into TV, joining "Growing Up Hip-Hop: Atlanta" in 2017 and also serving as executive producer (via IMDb). She was in a relationship with then-NBA star Allen Iverson in the late 1990s (via People) and later announced she was bisexual. However, in 2020, Da Brat came out as a lesbian and confirmed her relationship with Jessica "Judy" Dupart. Fans cannot wait to see the couple in the new show (via Variety). 

"Brat Loves Judy" airs  Aug. 5 at 9 p.m. ET on WE TV.
