We love us a legend here at That Grape Juice, hence it pains us to see the talented going through testing times.
Case, point Lauryn Hill.
As previously reported, the Fugees front-woman is currently awaiting sentencing, after admitting tax evasion (albeit with with a bizarre rationale). Now, as she prepares to hear her fate this November, the mugshot from her June police booking has surfaced.
Echoing earlier sentiments, we wish her the absolute best. Sadly, as history has shown time in and out, the most talented are often the most troubled. We continue to keep Ms. Hill in our thoughts and prayers. Like many, we’re still salivating for that new album.

Smh, I’m sorry for this.
She shouldn’t end up this way.
Personally, I gotta pay my taxes. You gotta pay yours and I don’t believe the conspiracy stories.
I just wish her good luck, I feel bad for her kids.

Should have paid her taxes like everyone else. Just because she is lauryn hill does not mean she’s above the law. And im not here for her reasons for failing to abide by the law either. That mug shot is just sad as well. Oh well life goes on!!

whats sad is that when these legends go through troubles,section of their fanbases join in kicking them when they’re down…case in point laury,lil kim,amy winehouse & whitney.this is the time they need u the most,be it in prayer or whatever and surely they will pull through..mariah carey’s loyal fans stood with her through her worst and she came back,why can’t that happen to these others.

It’s a damn shame but when you speak about THE POWERS THAT BE I’m not sure what you call them. Some say the Illuminati others call them something else, but the power and control that they exercise is REAL.
From 2Pac to Michael Jackson to Chris Brown and L-Boggie. When they decide you will be dealt with for not joining their ranks there is no end to the madness they will try against you! Just look around ppl….

Why don’t the U.S. Authorities, the IRS go after Mitt Romney running for US President. Why don’t they demand that he open his books for the last decade! Word is is that Mitt the Twit Romney is a tax evader and hasn’t paid his taxes in TEN YEARS. He refused to open his tax books. He need yo be audited! Imagine, if this is true he’s a big fish CRIMINAL running to be the US 45th president. Where is his mugshot.

MADONNA pays her taxes every year! You don’t see the MATERIAL GIRL in jail because she is “underground” or because of whatever paranoid rationale Lauryn made up in her deluded mind. Madonna probably pays MORE in taxes every year than Lauryn has ever made in her blessed life. HOW is this unfair? I really want to know!

I bet Lauryn will be voting for ROMNEY because he represents the 1% like her! SELFISH TRICK! (I still love me some 20 year old Lauryn that was singing Tina Marie tracks)

Cough* many entertainers get slandered, bashed and
their wheels beat just because they was not born with blonde hair and blue eyes and just because they can’t pop
their CHOOCHIE as hard and as long as Beyonce can!

I Wonder how whoopi, grace, gladys, maryj and other black
