As recently as May of 2008, she plead guilty to threatening her neighbor with a phone, and the neighbor was issued a protective order keeping Brown at a distance. Brown was also ordered to write a letter of apology.

In 1997 she was ordered to perform 80 hours of community service after spitting on two hotel workers when they didn't provide her with an iron.
