    • Didi May 9, 2013

      Exactly !! Bet nobody would write us letters if we didn’t pay our taxes and were sent to jail. Alicia Keys would defend her, with her HOme wreckin ass.

      • James227 May 9, 2013

        Where are the big guns Jay-Z, Diddy, Wil Smith,Rihanna, Beyonce, Oprah. These people are making big money and could afford to help without putting a dent in their monies.

  4. Xoxo May 9, 2013

    Why not send money and pay off what she owes? Duh!

  5. truth(i will draaag the F*** outta icki and her stans) May 9, 2013

    • R&B fan May 9, 2013

      what is wrong with Stevie? Confused?

      Stevie is Lauryn Hill’s idol.

      he also createst the GREATEST R&B Soul album of all time

      he also was the only artist to win album of the year grammys 3 times in a row.

      he also recvd the presidential honor award

      he is also Obama’s favorite artist

      • R&B fan May 9, 2013

        created R&B’S GREATED album

  6. Vee May 9, 2013

    Um, what exactly are they excusing? She dodged the system and got caught, if normal people cant get away with it why should she?

  7. bash May 9, 2013

    whatever…pay your bills LAURYN!

  8. Just Saying May 9, 2013

    That probably made the judge even more certain that she deserves to go to jail. Some of us are poorer than she’ll ever be and dont have a host of celebrity friends.

  9. lotus May 9, 2013

    Who cares. Why the f*** hasn’t Sam posted about xtinas new duet with Alejandro Fernandez. Xtina vocals slay the basic b****** even when she sings Spanish…

  10. Tiffany22534 May 9, 2013

    Alicia Key’s Baby

  11. POP ROYALTY (Bohemian Grove) May 9, 2013

    STEVIE WONDER ?!

    😯

    WTF did happen to my eyes ?

  12. Nats May 9, 2013

    Of course the home wrecker would defend the fraud!

  13. Tisha May 9, 2013

    And what exactly did those letters say?

    “Dear Judge, I know Ms. Hill made millions of dollars and didn’t pay her taxes but you see she’s a great artist and she makes beautiful music so please don’t lock her up”

    Sorry, no sympathy. If you choose not to pay then be strong enough to accept your punishment. There’s 0 confusion here and all the mysterious talk from Lauryn doesn’t change anything.

  14. soulmusiclover May 9, 2013

    stay strong lauryn!! we love you!

  15. lexi May 9, 2013

    Lauryn is a idiot, she should have just paid her taxes. She made millions of dollars now her six kids wil be away from their mom.

  16. the best dancer May 10, 2013
