Lauryn Hill’s career has been surrounded in controversy, including racially inappropriate comments and a nearly 15-year long retreat from society. It was during her time “underground” that she evaded about $1.8 million in taxes. Her explanation as to why she failed to file taxes did little to change her sentence and, according to TMZ, she is currently in a minimum security facility in Danbury, Connecticut and won’t be isolated.
