It has to be infuriating when you believe that you’ve been imprisoned because a judge allegedly wants to exact revenge for your refusal to shout her out on your record.
But now Meek Mill probably feels like poking out his eyeballs with toothpicks after a court clerk reportedly came to him and basically panhandled him even though he’s the one who’s behind bars.
Wanda Chavarria, a court clerk who slipped Mill a note during his probation violation hearing, has reportedly been fired.
In the note, Chavarria explained that her “bad credit” rendered her unable to pay for her son’s tuition at VCU and that her substandard credit prevented her from procuring any bank loans. She also added to the sob story by saying it would be her son’s last semester unless she secured sufficient financing.
“… I had to take this opportunity for my son, ” the note reads. “As a fan of the Arts (dancing/singing/theater),”I’m praying that you would be able to help my son … this will probably be my son’s last semester at VCU if tuition isn’t paid for this year and unfortunately with my bad credit, I am unable to secure a loan or co-sign a loan for my son. Anything that you can do is very much appreciated.”
Chavarria asked Mill what he could do to keep her child in school because it “takes a village.”
Chavarria was Judge Genece Brinkley’s clerk. If you don’t know, Judge Brinkley is the judge who slapped Meek with a 2- to 4-year sentence. According to TMZ, the judge had no knowledge of the letter or any such requests.
In fact, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Genece E. Brinkley, was not the one who urged Mill to leave his current music label, Jay-Z’s Roc Nation.
Brinkley responded to the Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News repeated inquiries into the details of the meeting in question where Mill’s lawyers claim Brinkley allegedly tried to persuade the rapper to leave Jay-Z. Brinkley finally decided to unilaterally unseal that transcript.
“I don’t want the record to suggest who your management is or not,” the judge said, according to the two Philly newspapers.
On the other hand, it was Mill’s probation officer at the time, Treas Underwood, and Assistant District Attorney Noel DeSantis — who repeatedly criticized his current management company, Jay-Z’s Roc Nation.
They allegedly urged Mill to return to Philadelphia-based manager Charles “Charlie Mack” Alston, who had worked with him earlier in his career. Judge Brinkley had praised Alston for keeping Meek Mill on the straight and narrow and in compliance with court demands, the Inquirer reports.
