Saaphyri From Charm School Was A Criminal Fugitive?
Last week MediaTakeOut.com told you that Saaphyri Windsor, the winner of the first season of VH1’s Charm School, was serving time in a prison in California. But you’re not going to believe WHY!!!.

You see it turns out that Saaphyri has a very checkered past. Actually, her name isn’t even Saaphyri Windsor – it’s Wanda Scott. And MediaTakeOut.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned that she’s been on the run from the law for the past 3 years. Advertisement

In 2004, Saaphyri was arrested for stealing her uncle’s identity and running up thousands of dollars in debt (allegedly, the money was used for her BREAST IMPLANTS). Instead of going to trial, however, the Charm School Winner pled no contest to the charges and was scheduled to be sentenced on November 18, 2005.

But Saaphyri NEVER showed up to sentencing. And so from November 18, 2005 until November 22nd 2008 (when she was pulled over in L.A. for driving with an invalid license), Saaphyri’s been on the run.

So what, you ask, was Saaphyri doing in those 3 years that she was hiding from the law. Well according to her profile on imdb.com, she’s made 16 TV appearances. Among the show appearances were VH1’s Charm School (which she won) and the Tyra Banks Show. And she’s actually on VH1’s CURRENT SEASON of I Love Money - which airs every Monday night. Here’s the full imdb.com list:
  • "Reality Obsessed" .... Herself (1 episode, 2008)
  • "Hole in the Wall" .... Herself (1 episode, 2008)
  • "VH1: All Access" .... Herself (1 episode, 2008)
  • "Baisden After Dark" .... Herself (1 episode, 2007)
  • Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav (2007) (TV) .... Herself
  • "Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School" .... Herself (7 episodes, 2007)
  • "The Tyra Banks Show" .... Herself (2 episodes, 2006)
  • "Flavor of Love" .... Herself (2 episodes, 2006)
  • So what’s next for Saaphyri after this season of I Love Money? Well MediaTakeOut.com has learned that she’s not going to be on TV anytime soon. You see, had Saaphyri shown up to her initial sentencing in 2005, she would likely have received only six months in county jail and probation.

    But since she decided to run from the law, MediaTakeOut.com learned that she has just been sentenced to three years in prison. And she was ordered to pay restitution, fines, and fees totaling $8500.

      Dude that was 3 DECADES ago. You are talkin about Roman Polanski. Stop playing the race card- R Kelly has been f-ing around with 13 year olds for more than a decade and keeps gettin away with it. There is even a video showing him peeing all over a 12 year old girl. Funny how black folks all mad when Imus called some 20 year old a "ho" but when there is a video showing a black man peeing all over a black child there is no outrage.
