Da Brat will have to pay Shayla Stevens, a former NFL cheerleader who she cracked over the head with a bottle during a 2007 nightclub fight, $3.7 million dollars after losing her case in civil court. DaBrat has served more than three years in jail for the assault.
According to TMZ, the civil trial hit a snag Wednesday when a juror in the case admitted he wasn’t a U.S. citizen — but the new jury quickly reached a verdict today.
Shayla Stevens, who cheered for the Atlanta Falcons, sued Da Brat in 2009, while the rapper was serving her prison sentence after pleading guilty to aggravated assault.
The jury found Da Brat — real name Shawntae Harris — responsible for causing Stevens’ permanent facial scarring, neurological impairment, and severe mental pain.
