Back in March of this year, R&B singer Erykah Badu made a lot of news with her new song, and music video “Window Seat”. There was a lot of controversy surrounding the release of the video, in which Badu strips down to being fully nude as the video progresses.
The video of course blurred out inappropriate parts of her body, but some people were still offended. However, it doesn’t end there.
While the video was being create in Dallas, TX, people who were in the vicinity of the filming got glimpses of a nude Erykah Badu, and decided to file a report with the local police department. A citation was issued, and Badu was assigned a court date. Some people were concerned that she might end up with jail time for the filming of an innocent video, but it turns out the judge was not as harsh as he could have been. Badu received a $500 fine plus 6 months of probabtion.
