Today’s April 15th. Have you filed your taxes yet? Don’t find yourself in a STICKY situation like songstress Lauryn Hill.
TMZ reports that documents in Lauryn Hill’s tax trial reportedly reveal that threats against her and her family caused the MisEducated Starlet to go further into recluse, and miss three years of filing income taxes. Lauryn filed legal documents asking for mercy before her sentencing later this month; she claims that she failed to file tax returns for 2005, 2006, and 2007 due to FEAR even though she earned more than $1.8 million. She has pled guilty and faces several years in prison.
According to court documents…. Lauryn stopped paying taxes
“when she withdrew from society at large due to what she perceived as manipulation and very real threats to herself and her family.”
Lauryn previously claimed she went underground to get back in touch with her musical roots.
Lauryn’s asking the court to consider a bunch of other factors before her sentencing — including her claim that she can pay off the debt much faster if she’s not behind bars.
Lauryn is begging for probation. Do you think the judge will be merciful or will he ship her off to jail?
