Keyshia Cole Flies Away W/ A Pricey L After Birdman Home Attack, Details Cracked Open

R&B singer Keyshia Cole has some money to pay out. New reports claim the crooner is getting forced to pay over $100,000 for attacking a woman in ex-boyfriend Birdman’s Los Angeles home.

According to reports, Keyshia’s no-show in court ultimately had a judge award victim Sabrina Mercadel a hefty $100,635.

Sabrina Mercadel had sued Keyshia for the 2014 incident, where she had gone to Birdman’s West L.A. condo in the middle of the night and accused the Cash Money CEO of cheating on her. Mercadel, who was in the unit, was on the receiving end of Keyshia’s rage. She says Keyshia punched her in the face, yanked her hair and clawed her face and mouth with her nails. Sabrina says she lost the use of a finger as a result of the attack. (TMZ)

In 2014, reports claimed Cole would not be prosecuted by the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office over the attack.

Prosecutors have told Cole that instead of going to trial, they want her to appear at an informal office hearing, where someone from the City Attorney’s Office will listen to her and the victim and then give the singer a stern warning not to do it again … or else. The hearing officer can require Cole to go to anger management courses … something they’ve done in similar cases before. (TMZ)

Although brief in her response, Cole’s mom previously said she would fully support her over the legal drama.

“If I see Birdman, I’m gonna clip his wings,” Frankie said when asked about her stance on Keyshia and Birdman. “Y’all don’t want to hear none of this. What I think about Birdman? Glot! Glot! Glot! Glot-tah! What about Birdman? I’m about this [Cole album, Point of No Return].” (TMZ)
