Los Angeles prosecutors say they will not charge Russell Crowe with battery over a scuffle with rapper Azealia Banks in a Beverly Hills hotel room earlier this year. A charge evaluation worksheet released Wednesday, Dec. 7, by the Los Angeles County District Attorney office states Crowe struggled with Banks and threw her out of his hotel room in October after she picked up a glass and threatened people with it. They rejected filing a battery charge against the actor due to Banks' actions and her lack of visible injuries

Bio:
Azealia BanksĀ (born Azealia Amanda Banks on May 31, 1991 in Manhattan, New York City, New York) is an American rapper, singer and songwriter. Azealia grew up in Harlem, raised by her mother after her father died from pancreatic cancer. Azealia became interested in performing at a young age. By the time she was 10-years-old, she began performing in off-Broadway musicals. As a teen, she attended the LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts. While performing in a musical, City of Angels, an agent discovered her and sent her for auditions at TBS, Niceklodeon and Law & Order. With no callbacks, Azealia shifted her focus on music. Under the name, Miss Bank$, she released her debut in 2008. She signed a development deal with XL Recording and worked with Richard Russell, but she left, citing conflicting ideas. Azealia released her first EP, 1991, in 2012. It reached 133 on the Billboard 200. She collaborated with Lady Gaga and Kanye West, but those songs haven’t been released yet. In 2012, she said her debut album would be titled Broke with Expensive Taste, and it was finally released in 2014, after fighting with Universal Music Group. In 2015, her tour with K. Michelle was cancelled and she revealed that dispute with her former management company will prevent her from releasing new music until March 2016.
