BRANDY SUED FOR $50 MILLION

Wednesday, January 31, 2007

actual footage from the accident via TMZ.com

The parents of the woman killed in a car crash involving Brandy are suing the R&B singer for $50 million.

TMZ obtained the lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Lawyers for the family of the deceased claim, “Defendant Brandy Norwood was driving recklessly in the freeway when her car collided with Awatif Aboudihaj’s car.”

The $50 million lawsuit seeks both compensatory and punitive damages.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles City Attorney is considering the CHP’s recommendation to criminally charge Brandy with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. VIEW THE LAWSUIT DOCUMENT

I mean it was going to come sooner or later. It would be even worse if the police proceeds with that vehicular manslaughter charge, where she can face up to a $1,000 fine and a year in jail. Doubt if it will go that far but, what a web woven for Brandy…

But then again, should she be charged with something? We see celebs get off all the time just for being famous, yet she wasn’t drunk or drugged. Is a $50 million reward to the family is enough?

I swear people are golddiggers. I feel for their loss but come on now. $50 million???!!!!

I could see 1-2 million, but they’re being greedy. Besides, Brandy’s rich but ain’t got it like that.

Chante…you need to send everyone here your picture so we’ll know who the girl laying in the middle of the road is. Everyone ain’t like you, so stop kidding yourself.

Would they have sued if she wasn’t a celebrity? Money is not going to bring their daughter back. Have they buried her yet? DAng

#196 how can you say brandy was stupid for not meeting with her father? Why should she if I just killed someone child I wouldn’t want to face their family either. That takes time and what is she proving by meeting with him it’s not going to bring their child back!

#166…I hear you. It’s really EASY for ppl to say what the deceased woman’s family should do, shouldn’t do or feel.

You never know what you would do if you were in their shoes. You probably would want to KILL the person. But since that’s against the law, you SUE THERE ASS. I am a fan of Brandy and I am not insinuating that she deserves to be killed. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

It’s some strong ppl on this site who “say” they can forgive and move on. I’d go for the jugular. Pray for me.

I am sure it hurts the family to know that ppl feel like they are gold diggers.

In recent (late) news, some actor was drunk driving and killed a 17- year old, and injured a 15- year old, but has the media said anything about that? No! This happened Dec. 2, while Brandy’s accident happened Dec. 30. BTW, he was white. No race problems, but why is Brandy being almost cursed for an accident, while this dude is hardly getting any? Anwser that, someone.

Thia is crazy! How do you determine the worth of someone’s life? How did the family come up with 50 million dollar figure? If she weren’t killed in an accident involving a celebrity, how much would her life be worth then? More? Less???

#230 Ur talking about the actor from prison break. Dont make this a race issue(yet again black people). The media broke his story immediately after it happened it was on all the entertainment shows and YT blogs. His story disappeared a. because they all do eventually and b. because hes not as big a star as Brandy is. Most people dont even know the guys name. People lose interest in all major news stories no matter how “hot” the issue may be when it first hits the airwaves.

This is one of the biggest topics I’ve ever posted on:

STFU # 109….

SHUTtheFup

Women should be banned from the road? Yeah ok…

It was an accident both men and women have them. What really sucks is that the 405 is the same freeway where Hakeem from Moesha died on.

Life is such a trip… tragedies happen all the time… add this to the list, but i dunno even know if I’d be willing to pay $50mil if I killed Oprah so Brandy better fight it…

It was an accident sure, BUT if this was Britney Spears and she killed someone in your family BY ACCIDENT…how much would you ask for?

I’m sorry but being a celebrity doesn’t exempt you from anything, I do feel sorry for the family and Brandy.

First off, I did read what you said, and you continue to do is CONTRIDICT yourself. You keep saying they should SUE for $50 million, then it turns into “they are suing for such a high amount because they won’t get that much”…then… “No amount of MONEY will bring their daughter back because life is PRICELESS” *rolls eyes* Child GET IT TOGETHER!

^^ JANEE are YOU serious??? I said her life is PRICELESS and THATS THE TRUTH. BUT since her life is PRICELESS what should they do? NOTHING? Since NOTHING can bring the dead back should ALL MURDERERS BE FREED Accidental or NOT????? IS a PUNISHMENT VAIN because life is PRICELESS and can’t be given BACK? Her life is PRICELESS so 50 MIll is only a FRACTION of what she’s WORTH so THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THATS THE WHOLE POINT. They ain’t doing SHIT wrong cause it’s ONLY A FRACTION. ANd YES their amount is HIGH because they’re trying to get as much as possible but they won’t get that much it’s just a strategy, so honey YOU GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.

Then you say : Obviously YOU did not read what I POSTED. I’m trying to play Devils Advocate by saying “if they chose to sue then FINE, but why for $50 MILLION”?

^^^ IT DONT MAKE NO DAMN DIFFERENCE!!!! It’s still mad money you be asking for, so you’re just VALIDATING What I said, you’d ask lots of money so, stop back tracking with your “devil’s advocate” shit NOW. And I don’t see Brandy’s SIDE? Brandy is a girl that I love, BUT Brandy won’t go to jail because she’s “BRANDY”. Like I said, if your argument is “nothing brings the dead back”, then lets FREE ALL Murderers. Yes IT IS an ACCIDENT but her NEGLIGENCE caused someone else’s death. Since Brandy won’t be JAILED, what are they supposed to do? NOTHING? Oh, yeah “just sue 10 mill”? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, that’s STILL crazy money.

SO HUn-HUH, YALL WOULD DO JUST LIKE THEY DO…THE END!

^^^PREACH!!! WHAT if the victim was OPRAH? What if the victim was BILL GATES?? Then those 50 mill would be excusable but since it’s a random citizen like you and I, it’s a shame? I do feel sorry for Brandy too, but if she can afford not to go to jail, something else should be done.

This isnt a petition. Its more an extension of Love and Support to ANOTHER HUMAN BEING who is in a very DISTRESSING SIATUATION.

Your hate for Brandy, pure hate is what is making some of you brand her a reckless killer. Had it been you in her place im sure you wouldnt like titles like those being brandished around. She made a HUMAN ERROR with bad reprecussion. But she didnt hit and run and she stayed an cooperated. She apologised and was sincere. So you need to get off your pedastools of harsh judgment and show some love and support.

Noone can bring the poor woman back, and it was so upsetting and traajic, but to break Brandy down isnt right. And she would appreciate this letter of love.

This ”petition” will find its way to Brandy as i have a source close to the Singer. It will also be mailed and emailed to all her affiliated institutions.

WE all need to shut uo because we were not there we do not know what really happened. It is called an accident because that is what it was. I ran in back of people by accident 2 because they stopped suddenly, and automattically the person who hits from behind is at fault. Let it rest what if it was your mother who accidently ran in the back of someone and she killed someone what would you say then. Just pray for everyone involved.

Here’s another case of a celebrity car crashe that ended in a fatality, and in this one he was intoxicated -

Let’s see how this plays out…

Police Want ‘Prison Break’ Star Charged
By DAISY NGUYEN - AP
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (Feb. 1) - “Prison Break” actor Lane Garrison should be charged with manslaughter and drunken driving for a car crash that killed a teenage passenger and injured two others, police said Wednesday.

Shocking Allegations From Witnesses
Police Chief David L. Snowden said investigators have asked county prosecutors to charge Garrison, 26, with felony gross vehicular manslaughter; driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs; and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Investigators recommended that the DUI allegation carry the enhancement that he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 percent or more. An adult driver in California is legally over the limit at 0.08 percent.

Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney, said that the police report was under review but that no decision had been made on whether to file charges.

Garrison’s Land Rover jumped a curb and struck a tree Dec. 2, killing 17-year-old Beverly Hills High School student Vahaghn Setian and injuring two 15-year-old girls also in the vehicle. Garrison suffered minor injuries.

Garrison’s attorney, Harland Braun, said the police decision to announce details of the investigation before charges have been filed was “a totally irresponsible thing.”

“It was basically a public trial … designed to influence potential jurors,” Braun said.

Braun said he had not yet seen any of the evidence or police reports on the investigation.

Snowden said Garrison had a blood-alcohol level of 0.20 percent. After the crash, police said, the actor volunteered to submit a blood sample, and analysis of it found he also had cocaine in his system.

Police were waiting to hear from the district attorney’s office before making an arrest.

If charged and convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter, Garrison, a Dallas native who plays “Tweener” on the Fox drama, could face up to 10 years in prison.

Braun has said previously that Garrison met the youths at a grocery store and accompanied them to a party, where he had one drink. He told the Los Angeles Times that Garrison didn’t remember anything about the accident after waking up in a hospital.

Snowden alleged that Garrison gave alcohol to the teens more than once that evening.

The Garrison case marked the second time this week that crash investigators have asked for charges against a Hollywood celebrity in a traffic death.

On Monday, the California Highway Patrol recommended to the Los Angeles city attorney that actress-singer Brandy, 27, be charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter for a freeway chain-reaction crash that killed a woman motorist in December.

#104 The point is when your dead what your worth does not matter because at the end of the day Brandy have to live with that death on her mind so money is worthless than you having your life so what if she have the money to pay for what happen but this will be a inprint on her life for ever.So what If Beyonce is worth 2000 million does that money make her when she comes to the crossroad of death? No! It doesn’t matter so why does it matter to you but my question for you is how do you value your life?

“Alcohol and drugs have been ruled out as factors in the crash, and there is no evidence that Brandy was using a cell phone or was otherwise distracted at the time of the crash. She was in her car alone, Tang said.” So for all the people saying that she was on a cell phone, that has not been proven and if that was a fact, they could pull up records to see if she was on the phone. So people that is a rumor, stop saying that.

People I understand that the lady died because of Brandy, not going to argue that, but 50 million dollars. Are you serious, people are all about money these days. I don’t think that they will get that much, because they cannot prove anything but it being a accident. I hope that it all passes and Brandy and the family can work out a deal. But I bet if this had been a regular person, the family just would have sued the insurance company, not the person. It happenes all the time, what makes this case so different? The fact that Brandy is famous and has money, America is so screwed when it comes to money.

I know that a lady’s life was lost, and that is sad. The family is just being greedy. Yes, you can say what if that was your family member. BUT what if you were Brandy? I am sure that most of you have been in car accidents that was your fault because you mis-judged the distance to stop or you looked off for a second, whatever. None of us was in the car with Brandy, in fact no one was, so the only people that know what TRULY happened is God and the people involved. Let the case take its course and see what happenes. Look at the facts and right now, no matter what you want to believe no matter the rumors it was just an accident and she did not mean to do that. I think she wants to do something to help the family, but media don’t know that and they are not trying to give the girl a chance.

I find it a little ridiculous that the family of the deceased has filed a lawsuit BEFORE the insurance company has even paid out the policy limits as the claims adjuster stated. This is so unfortunate for ALL involved, but it doesn’t change the fact that Brandy was the DIRECT cause of an accident that killed someone. 50mil is a little outrageous, but I expected her to be sued. There’s no way that she will be indicted, but I don’t believe that the she is being targeted unfairly by the prosecutor. However, I do think the deceased’s family is having a bad case of the GREEDIES!

Brandy was probably on the cell phone or digging in her purse or doing her makeup in the rearview mirror like all yall women do…women should be banned from the road.

You think 50 mil is too much when she is already going to get off scottfree! PUHLEASE! A woman is dead here because of Brandy’s carelessness. They will never get her back and Brandy will not do the time she deserves… I think they deserve well over that 50mil. I would want some sort of damages award, too. Thankfully that isn’t my sister that was in the crash. A slap on the wrist just isn’t enough to me. She should do time for that lost life. If that were one of us we would have to do time… thats just real. Her celeb status should not get her off. I like her as an artist but let the punishment stand as it would for any other so called citizen…

ok…..now why wouldnt brandy be worth more than $50 million..yall crazy, she is worth so much more than that…it seems as if yall think just cuz she hasnt had a album im a couple of years that she is broke…not the case she does much more than singing..well to get to the point i did a lil researching and many professinal mags estimate her worth to be between 300-200 million, with a average looking like 250million.. but i really do feel bad for her in this situation, everyne knows that she is a good person, but the people that are trying to sue here wont get anymore than what the insurance pays….and just for the record beyonce will never be as big as brandy….even if u add destany childs albums together with beyonces, beyonce still comes up short…music is about much more than looks…but keep both fams in prayer

You know you could expect that from a bunch of indians. They drive a nice fancy car that was totalled. Many foreign people come here and and they go crazy for the green. I’m sorry but 50 million is just a bit much, and by time the family sueing brandy finishes paying for all the court fees they aren’t going to have any money left. I think that the family sueing brandy is quiet greedy. maybe they could just settle for ten million. The woman in dead, this is life and shit happens. Now if the sdame lady had been struck by some average everday person would they be sueing him for 50 million???? I bet once they realized that brandy was an icon in the music industry, their eyes got big and all that could be seen in them was gold and dollar signs. A person must pay but if your going to profit off the death off a dead family member that is sick. but hey if they get their 50 million i think that problems in their own family will ensue. more money more problems??
