*Roshawn Anthony, the 23-year-old woman charged with Saturday morning’s Foxy Brown beatdown, is a Belize-born prostitute who has a history of raising hell wherever she goes, her mother tells the New York Daily News. Anthony was one of four women who police say assaulted the Ill Na Na and took off with her Louis Vuitton purse, credit cards, $500 in cash, hearing aid and chunks of her weave. As of press time, Anthony was still locked up in Rikers Island in lieu of $50,000 bail. She is described by her mother, Laverne Reyes, as a hooker who nearly died this year after a boyfriend beat her with a pipe. "He forced her to do things and beat her up if she didn't," Reyes, 48, told the Daily News. "[She was] selling herself, her body." Foxy, whose real name is Inga Marchand, is still claiming that she was never attacked, even though police tell the Daily News that she came in shortly after the alleged incident and pointed out Anthony as her attacker. Anthony has denied the charges against her and is “getting squeezed by the police," her Legal Aid lawyer, Clinton Hughes, told the newspaper. He added: "[Brown] is a colorful character. She's bringing out a colorful story. But something much more realistic will come out at the grand jury." The alleged assault took place about 5:30 a.m. Saturday outside the Louis H. Pink Houses in the East New York section of Brooklyn, authorities say. The women are said to be “friends” of Brown’s ex-boyfriend, who orchestrated the attack after he was dumped by the rapper moments earlier. Foxy tried to break things off after finding out that he was a pimp with a criminal record, police noted. Anthony, who stands 5-feet-2 and weighs 125 pounds, “was a little on the wild side" and began skipping class at Brooklyn's Tilden High School at age 14, her mother tells the Daily News. Reyes says her daughter promised she would leave her abusive boyfriend when she was hospitalized this year after being beaten with a metal pole. Meanwhile, Fox Boogie reportedly cursed out the press that had gathered outside of her Brooklyn brownstone Sunday, “with her thick black weave - and attitude - apparently intact,” the Daily News noted. She is said to have jumped into her car and backed the wrong way down a one-way street before peeling off.
