'Rock of Love' Finalist Jailed for Attacking Woman with Pimp Cup
Some headlines speak for themselves. This story happens to be one of them as there is no better way to explain the latest antics of a reality show contestant than this: Rock of Love Finalist Jailed for Attacking Woman With a Pimp Cup.
That's right, we've got "Rock of Love" and Pimp Cup in the same phrase.
For those of you that may not know some of the items mentioned, here is a break down. "Rock of Love" is a reality-based VH1 show that pits female contestants against each other as they compete for the affections of former Poison frontman Bret Michaels. A pimp cup is a diamond- (or otherwise) encrusted challis used to hold pimp juice. Popularized by rapper Lil' Jon, a pimp cup has become a staple in music videos and rap music.
Brittanya O'Campo, 25, did not win on the "Rock of Love" show, but she did just win herself 6 months behind bars for attacking a woman with the cup turned deadly weapon. TMZ reports that the attack was so bad that the victim required several stitches.
The assault actually took place back in 2008. Brittanya O'Campo pled guilty to felony assault with a deadly weapon (yes, that would be the pimp cup) as well as misdemeanor battery. The six months behind bars will be, perhaps, the shortest punishment O'Campo will experience from this incident. In addition to what will likely be a long probation, the presence of a violent felony on a record can have effects that last for years, including in the employment and housing sectors.
