Chrisean Rock has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and one year probation in connection with an open warrant linked to an incident last fall in which she's accused of assaulting James Wright, a backup dancer for Tamar Braxton.

The Baddies star, 24, received five days of credit for time served in the case, according to information from court documents reviewed by TMZ on Monday.

The incident between the Baltimore native and Wright unfolded last November 10 when Braxton played a show at the downtown Los Angeles club Novo, according to a suit filed by Wright in February, the Los Angeles Timesreported.

Wright said in legal docs reviewed by the newspaper that Chrisean, whose full name is Chrisean Eugenia Malone, became violent backstage over a misunderstanding in regards to her participation in Braxton's show.

Wright told the court that Chrisean was under the impression she would be rapping, while he thought she was going to be doing a dance routine.

Wright told the court that Chrisean, who was wearing multiple rings, hit him in the face, breaking a pair of teeth.

His lawyer Kevin Anderson told the newspaper that Chrisean 'hit him multiple times in the face for no reason at all. We were surprised that she was able to leave the facility that night. She had on rings that were pretty much equivalent to brass knuckles.'

Braxton was present during the incident, according to the lawyer.

The suit from Wright alleged that as people were ejecting Chrisean from the room, she used a hom*ophobic slur in reference to the backup dancer, and vowed to strike him another time.

Wright said in legal docs that he had to seek medical treatment in the wake of the attack, which left him with facial cuts and a pair of broken teeth.

Chrisean said on Twitter in February, 'Dis big back bitch n**** think he finna get a cent out of me b**** you know you just wasted yo money on dat damn lawyer right.

'Yeah I took break from the socials because I’m putting my energy into my next projects fr and all dat negativity s*** be not even my Bob right now. My next move gon be my best move.'

Chrisean - who has had a number of violent incidents with her ex-boyfriend Blueface - was ordered by authorities to remain at least 100 yards from both Wright and the location where the alleged violence occurred, the Lucky Strike bowling alley.

Chrisean is also prohibited from owning or having in her possession any weapons while she is on probation, TMZ reported, citing court docs.

Plans are in the offing to extradite Chrisean to Oklahoma, where she has outstanding drug charges, according to the outlet. Officials in California are planning to extradite her out of state after the California legal matters have been handled.

Chrisean was taken into custody June 10 in the San Fernando Valley in connected with a felony fugitive warrant, which includes a count of assault with a deadly weapon, TMZreported.

Five Los Angeles Police Department officers put her in handcuffs at the courthouse, while her son with Blueface, 27 - Chrisean Jr., nine months - was taken away from the arrest scene by officers.

Chrisean had an open warrant in Oklahoma in connection with 2022 charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a controlled dangerous substance.

Chrisean acknowledged on social media her legal issues in an Instagram Live session this past March, where she said that she didn't want to turn herself in as she was busy caring for her baby son.
