'Rock of Love' Contestant Jailed After 'Pimp Cup' Attack, 'The Vampire Diaries' Gets North American Convention and More
Assault with a "pimp cup" is still assault. Just ask 'Rock of Love Bus' finalist Brittanya O'Campo.According to E! Online, O'Campo has been sentenced to six months in jail following an attack on another woman with that they call a "pimp cup." The VH1 star is accused of hitting the woman in the face with her chalice. O'Campo pleaded guilty to felony assault and misdemeanor battery for the altercation that happened in November 2008.
O'Campo sent this message to her fans via Twitter: "I will be locked for 6 Monthes. I can only get PostCards, no letters or packages. If you send books they have to be from Borders.com Softbac" [sic].
On 'Rock of Love Bus,' the third season of the Bret Michaels reality dating competition, O'Campo was sent packing by the Poison frontman when she attacked another contestant.
