Laurence Fishburne’s daughter Montana sentenced to two years’ probation after long-term anger issues forced her to punch an officer

Laurence Fishburne’s daughter Montana faces a two-year suspended sentence for punching an officer years after she disillusioned the actor with her porn profession

Montana Fisburne, daughter of leading actor Laurence Fishburne, continues to make headlines for her run-ins with the law. The latest snafu stems from a 2022 arrest when she reportedly publicly criticized and punched an officer in Broward County, Florida.

According to reports, the 32-year-old was recently given a two-year suspended prison sentence for his crimes American weekly. The incident at the guts of the case occurred when she called the authorities, claiming she was being stalked and intimidated by her ex-boyfriend.

When authorities arrived on the scene, Montana reportedly screamed “that no one was helping her.” Her irritated behavior included approaching officers despite being “repeatedly told to back up.” She was charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer, to which she initially pleaded not guilty.

However, on April 10, she modified course and submitted a request to be excluded from the competition. “There is not any guilty plea or conviction and the case will probably be sealed and retrospectively restored. And young Ms. Fishburne will have the opportunity to move on with her life,” her lawyer Michael Grieco told the outlet. He noted that her probation will end after she completes a 13-week anger management course.

The “Matrix” star has been estranged from her daughter since 2010, when she began her short-lived porn career as “Chippy D” in Vivid Entertainment’s “Montana Fishburne: An A-List Daughter Makes Her XXX Debut” music video. According to reports, only 18 years old made $60,000 per movie.

“I talked to my father. He told me he was ashamed of me. My mom just says, “I like you.” We don’t talk about it every day. He wants me to be happy and doesn’t want me to be drawn into the dark side of porn,” she said Reuters after the film’s premiere. That same 12 months, TMZ stated that she was treated for anger at an inpatient facility, and in 2013, her adult film profession got here to an end.

Her rap sheet features a 2009 arrest for alleged prostitution. She didn’t apply for any competition and was required to work 104 hours for a California beautification project, perform 15 days of community service, undergo HIV testing and STD education, and complete two years’ probation.

In 2010, she was under investigation after she was accused of breaking into the house of a lady, possibly the ex-girlfriend of Montana’s then-boyfriend, and beating her. Problems surfaced again in 2017 when she was arrested for driving under the influence, and again in 2020 for a similar crime. She currently works as a yoga instructor in Florida and considers herself a “student of life.”

The Oscar-nominated actor shares Montana and his son Langston (36) along with his first wife, Hajna O. Moss. He also has a second daughter, 16-year-old Delilah, whom he shares along with his ex-wife, actress Gina Torres. Laurence said the youngest of his three children could follow in his footsteps because he shares his love of theater.
