Lauryn Hill Didn’t Pay Taxes Due To Threats

Lauryn Hill claims the reason she stiffed Uncle Sam on her tax bills for years is because of dangerous threats put on her life. According to documents obtained by TMZ, The Fugees frontwoman explains that she stopped paying taxes “when she withdrew from society at large due to what she perceived as manipulation and very real threats to herself and her family”.

During the 2005, 06, and 07 years Lauryn earned more than $1.8 million dollars, but never paid taxes. She wants the court to take into consideration that she can pay off the debt a lot faster if she does not have to serve a prison sentence. When sentenced, Hill faces several years in prison.

Her fate will be determined on April 22nd.
