: Last week, MediaTakeOut.com was the first news source in the world to tell you that rapper Shawntae "Da Brat" Harris was arrested after smashing an Atlanta woman in the head with a bottle of rum. Da Brat's since been released on bail and it's now starting to look like she may never spend another day in prison for the assault.
MediaTakeOut.com spoke exclusively with a close friend to 24-year-old Shayla Smith - the woman Da Brat allegedly assaulted. And according to our insider, Shala suffered extensive facial bruising and lacerations from the attack. The insider explained, "Shayla had to receive countless stitches to both sides of her face, as well as in her forehead ... there will be more surgery to follow, as the doctors are not sure how scarring will be."
But that's not all. The insider exclusively told MediaTakeOut.com that Shayla suffers from complete memory loss regarding the incident. The insider, who spoke to Shayla recently, told us, "She has no recollection of the incident [whatsoever]."
And according to one of our moles in the Fulton County District Attorney's office, Shayla's memory loss is a huge problem for the prosecution's case. The tipster told MediaTakeOut.com, "No one in [the club] has come forward as a witness ... without Shayla's testimony, it's not likely that [Da Brat] can be convicted."
Below are some recent photos of Shayla (prior to the assault). She worked as a cheerleader for the Atlanta Falcons.

DaBrat is too damn pretty to be living the life style she lives...but I still love her swagger though cuz when she was on CELEBRITY FIT CLUB she even had the sargeant flirting with her.
Now far as this chic catching amnesia....bull ish' cuz a b**ch hit me in my mafukk'n head with a bottle it's on like a pot of neckbones....ole girl just don't want to trick on DaBrat cuz her azz probably scared.
See that's how woofer's do. They talk big ish' then when it's time to go head's up then they tend to forget ish'.

she lucky that she know people in high places cause more thatn likely JD paid the girl off or her sister Lisa Raye ...paid the girl off because they both are rich lisaraye husband own or the president of some island and we all know JD been making paper. Da brat broke as certainely couda afford to pay nobody off!
Money my azz.....Amnesia = someone saying "Testify and you might get shot"...This is another manifestation of that "stop snitchin" b*llsh*t...
This is a shame, the girls she hit is such a beauty....And now her face is ruined because a washed up hoodrat hit her with a bottle...Da Brat needs to be under the jailf or this...That poor girl will have to wear those scars for life...
Just because there are no witnesses coming forward doesn't mean she can't be charged. People get convicted on circumstantial evidence everyday in the United States, so it wouldn't be a first time someone goes to jail without witness testimony. I hope Miss Smith didn't take a payoff because some things are worth more than money. Besides that, she was a cheerleader, so obviously she has some connections with athletes, stars, etc. So I really doubt she would settle for the chump change that Da Brat could throw at her. And again black people not wanting to get involved, but if she was one of their sisters, or daughters they'd be angry because no one came forward as a witness. Just a sad sad state of affairs....
this OLD dyke ass lesbian probably got her gay ass turned down by the girl. nasty bitch--errbody aint rollin like that. tryna get all hugged up on another female like a n*gga. bitch please. they need to just take her ass to prison she'd fit in with all the other lesbians there. she aint got nothing better to do anyway--sho az hell aint making no music. worthless ass dyke.
Whoever said that cheerleader chick was cute, attractive, or any other adjective not connected to the word turtle need to have their vision checked. No, she should not have been assualted, but she ain't cute either and if she got paid, then she needs to keep the paper rolling because Da'Brat (if she did it) was wrong and they would be paying me for life.
I'd like to sit her down, look Da Brat right in her eyes, and say, "Look niggga, its time you get yo' shyt together 'cause you done let the puzzy warp ya' mind". Then I'd grab that bytch by her nose and slap the fucc'n taste out of her mouth and say to her, "see what the fucc you made me do". Then we'll live happily ever after...
Why does every body assume she doesn't have money because she hasn't come out with a song in a while. Ya'll don't know what she does on the side for all ya'll know she could be behind the scene. And I bet half of ya'll wouldn't say that ish to her face! If she hit someone with a bottle the girl probably deserved it. I can't imagine somebody hitting someone in the head with a bottle for no reason!
