Erykah Badu has paid a $500 fine for stripping in public during the shoot of her controversial “Window Seat” video and will not get jail time.

Badu -- who was charged by Dallas police for disorderly conduct after a witness complained weeks after her guerilla stunt at the location where John F. Kennedy was assassinated -- also got six months probation, according to the Associated Press.

“[‘Window Seat’] was shot guerilla style, no crew, [one] take, no closed set, no warning, 2 min., [Downtown] Dallas,” Badu wrote on her Twitter feed in March. “Then ran like hell.”
