yay! im first. brandy is looking like a confused martian.

“EARTH?”

Poor Brandy!! She will ride this one out like any other celebrity. Play it cool, get some press out of it, and say sorry a million times. Cry in a Diane Sawyer interview, then release your next album.

Lemme stop. But on the real, this is bad but it’s not doomsday for Brandy. She will just have to pay some bills and do some community service most likely. She will come out on top and hopefully with some better weave.

Look out for Brandy’s next project, a PSA commercial for reckless driving.

This is horrible. I feel sorry for everyone involved. The family of the deceased as well as Brandy and her family. It is clear from the previous blog on Brandy that she was distraught after the incident. The article say’s she got out of her car and was yelling it was her fault and walking into traffic. It was obvious that it was not intentional and she was not drugged up. I can not even count the many times I was almost in an accident and the Lord spared my life. It was an accident but unfortunately, very unfortunately it cost a family the life of their loved one…however my question is what is $50 million going to do? Will it bring back the deceased from the dead? If one of us (non celebrities) were to hit and God forbid kill someone would we be sued for $50 Million? No, because we obviously don’t have $50 to give…or at least I don’t. I don’t want to be insensitive but I think it is very odd that they are requested $50 Million.

Once again…my heart goes out to all involved. I would hate to be on either side of the fence.

Aint this about a ***** …Damn they going to far

First I had sympathy, now im enraged ..they look like nothing but golddiggers…

Money will not resolve your problems….its so sad Americans will do anything for a funky piece of green paper these days

3rd!
BRANDY ASS AINT EVEN GOT 50 MILLION DOLLAS!!DAMN THATS FUCKED UP THO…SHE LOOKIN SLOW AS HELL IN DAT PIC ANYWAYS!! AND BLONDE HAIR AINT 4 EVERYBODY!!!

Money makes the world go round… Everyones out to get the mighty dolla. Get 50Mil is what it takes to bring there family member back… Its sad it really is. All shud be left done. Time too move on both brandy and the family. btw that crash looks terrible omg….

Damn.

50 million dollars! The defense attorney said on the news, that if it wasn’t Brandy who killed the women, he would still be suing for 50 million….. Yea right!

50 millions dollars is a ridiculous amount of money, it was an accident! These people just want to get paid and that’s just sad, you can’t put a price on someone’s life.

Okay concreteloop….why did you guys have to put up a picture of BRANDY that looks like she’s CRAZY and DURRANGED as HELL! That does NOT help out the situation at ALL….

But seriously, I seen this coming. Not $50 million dollers worth, but I had a feeling that they were going to sue. But my question is how much MONEY do you put on a LIFE? Or is $50 million dollars going to help you sleep at night? People KILL me with the $$$ amounts they come up with! Or WHOEVER came up with it. If it was not “BRANDY”, would you still be sueing? Or would the N*GGA just be in JAIL?! *rolls eyes*

This was VERY sad to hear about, and when I heard about it my prayers went out to both the FAMILY and Brandy. And while I understand that Brandy has to take her blame in the accident, I don’t think anything can make her suffer more then what she probally ALREADY is, having to deal with the fact that her neglagence caused LIFE. That’s ALREADY a BIG price to pay. That’s just my opinion.

*On a side note, how in the HELL did they come up with that $$$ amount? Who the HELL they thought they were sueing…OPRAH?!! Is BARNDY even worth close to that?

True@#8…I was just thinking the same thing…if it wasn’t Brandy they wouldn’t be suing for 50 MILL.

^^^oops, I meant is BRANDY even Worth close to that?

DAMN!

So what will sueing her get you? A t-shirt that says: Brandy killed my kid with her car and all I got was this lousy $50 mil… They are really making that whole stereotype about Middleeasterns money-grubbing opportunists. Be strong, Brandy. What til they find out you don’t even have $50Mil.

I am an auto claims adjuster and people get rear ended everyday and this particular situation is odd because of the charges. Unfortunately, accidents can be fatal and I doubt the DA will seriously indite Brandy, unless she fled the scene or was under the influence.

To prove reckless driving, there would need to be an independent witness or some type of evidence. But, the CHP recommending the charges opened the gate for the civil suit.

Without any wrongdoing or charges filed, the family can sue for Brandy’s auto policy limits. By the family jumping the gun and filing a suit now, it makes me wonder if they are money-hungry or have people (attorneys) taking advantage of their grief.

Keep your head up Brandy. God will not let people hurt you for their own gain. They cannot take away the truth and don’t let them have your dignity.

C’mon y’all know they do that high bid at first to get the ball rolling… this shit is going to get settled out of court for a undisclosed amount that way be WAYYY less than $50 mil.. and when that family’s lawyer takes out his cut, they will probably walk one with about 100 thousand!

I feel for Brandy but y’all know if Brandy hit you and stubbed your toe as a result, all y’all would be filin suits right now!

DAMN! That lady was DEAD on contact! I mean LOOK at that car! Poor lady didn’t have a chance. How fast was she going? 120? I guess B was used as her final destination. Maybe Brandy’s EYES were too far apart to see the lady. Was Brandy sippin on “Brandy?” Instead of Ray J by her side it might have been “E & J” I know they “said” she wasn’t drinking or on drugs. Wasn’t she seen driving like the next day? Somebody please put Brandy back in driver’s ed! I mean I just don’t feel safe until they do. “shivers”

I truly think this is sad. And the media will not let her come up for air since this hit the news. Accidents happens and no one ever wants sum1 to die from a car accident. I was just in a head on collision a few months back and it only buy the grace of GOD I’m still here! I dont think she should be charged but the law is the law. And they could be getting her cus she reportedly was on the phone, and depending on your state that does carry some offense.

But she will be in my prayers I think her conscious is going to eat her alive.

Damn I just looked up “Celebrity Net WOrth” and

according to one site

Beyonce: is worth $315 million

Jay-Z: is worth 286 million

Aint that some shit

Brandy is reportely worth around 30.1 million

come on now. everyone knew that the asking of the payout was going to come sooner or later. i feel for everyone involved and it sucks that she has to go through this being in the public eye.

THAT IS NOT TOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People kill me when they say it’s too much, that woman’s life was worth MUCH MORE than that, it was priceless, so how 50 million dollars too much? That’s a FRACTION of her worth. Had it been YOUR MAMA in that car, you wouldn’t feel sorry for Brandy ONE BIT so quit playing that “oh it’s so unfair” song. You know what’s UNFAIR? The fact that somebody’s momma, somebody’s sister, somebody’s daughter DIED. Brandy caused the accident, even if it was an accident it was still her fault, she’s LUCKY she ain’t going to jail and I’m sure she’s still thanking the Lord for that, she’s rich enough to pay this, still getting that MOESHA money. I feel a little bad for Brandy, but she is responsible for the death of someone else.

AND GUESS WHAT? Brandy can still get that money back by working hard, but that woman will NEVER be able to take her life back. Ain’t nothing unfair about asking that amount of money.

If she was on the phone, let her get the jail time and the $1000 fine. Cashing in their daughter’s death certificate like a lottery ticket is a wrong move. And realistically, the race cards will be thrown. I tossed the first… I won’t be the last. Sorry if I have offended some of you. Oh and I haven’t seen Jesse or Al sniffing around yet. What’s their hold-up?

dis shittt was an accident..it could have happened to anybody.. i feel bad for brandy and also the deceased!
some of y’ll need to be serious sometimes..u think u got jokes huh? talkin bout her weave and shitt..wot does dat have to do wit d situation @ hand? plz folks lets me serious for once…dis story is obviously nothing for us to crack jokes about…cuz God forbid it might have been u in dat situation..tell me if u’ll find it funny then….

Chante must be a neighbor or a relative of the victim cause thats a bunch of crap. They tryin to get rich off their daughter’s death and thats the end of that. They should be ashamed. Just money hungry is all it is.

To MARAJUANA_TABLETS,

Boo somebody lied to you about Beyones worth,did you even read the posts last week? Beyonce wasn’t even in the top 20 on Forbes magazines richest women in entertainment. Are you sure while inhailing those marajuana tablits, you didn’t mistake Beyonce for Mariah? Just wondering. People fail at nothing to bring up that girls name.

“I feel for Brandy but y’all know if Brandy hit you and stubbed your toe as a result, all y’all would be filin suits right now”!

See I don’t like when people group people together just because that’s what THEY would do in a situation. No I would not sue her. why? Because i’m a decent person, and have enough money to take care of myself. Now her medical insurence would have to reimburst my insurance, lol, but that’s about it. If i’m alive and well, then it’s all good. I feel what everyone is saying about this sueing situation. People can’t wait to sue somebody. It’s very annoying.

If I got hit and was killed in an auto accident, I doubt that I would get an honorable mention. I see things happen every day worth an acknowledgement from the media just to show that they still care about the little man. Sweetie, they don’t. Nobody wants this but everyone handles upsetting news differently. Some gotta laugh to keep from crying…

BRANDY BETTER JOIN G UNIT OR SOMETHING CUZ JUST A TV ISNT GONNA COVER THAT HELL THATS CRAZY I FEEL BAD FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN THIS SITUATION BRANDY BETTER GET THAT NBA CHECK FROM HER BASKETBALL BOYFRIEND OR SOMETHING CUZ THEY DON’T PLAY WITH THOSE COURT COST AND PROBATION FEES

Boi Stop! It was an accident! Brandy wasn’t intoxicated, under any influence, or any of that. Its called an accident for a reason. The situation is very unfortunate, but things happen. There was no intent and I don’t think she should be charged. As for the lawsuit, its only because they know she has money. Had it been me, they would just be seeking prosecution. This is about money and that is sad; what a shame that this woman’s life has a price!

Its very interesting that you can read court documents on the net. Brandy is going to really suffer through a trial but the family is suffering a huge loss and people should not lose sight of that.
She caused the accident so in their eyes she is liable for this woman’s death. Also, they ask for a lot of money because they know it will be less at the end of the lawsuit. The attorneys want to get their cut too. But we also have to keep in mind that she has left behind a child. This child will be forever affected mentally and financially. Someone has to pay and thats going to be Brandy. Ask yourself, what would you do if it was your loved one that was killed and it was proven that they were negligent. Add to it that this person is a celebrity and knowing the history of celebs getting a slap on the wrist. If it was me, I would ask for the maximum of the law and let the courts decide in the end. Money does not bring people back but it can really put a punishment on people who live extravagantly. And lets not forget that the money does not have to come from her bank account. Real estate, investments, and personal property will be exposed in the courts. The courts will ask Brandy to submit a financial statement which means everything she has has a monetary value.

if i pay 50 million….then no way i’am going to jail too!

BRANDY BETTER AUCTION HER CLOTHES

Attorneys are greedy and they add fuel to the fire, just ask OJ. He was sued for oooh weee how much and probably hasn’t paid anything yet because it’s damn near impossible to pay those large settlements. Attorneys know it, but they advise their clients. I don’t think it’s fair to blame Ms. Aboudihaj’s family for asking for $50M. They’ll probably never get it, but attorneys shoot for the sun so that if they land on the clouds, they’ll still come out alright.

I’m just surprised that this accident happened on the 405 Freeway because anyone and their momz knows that in LA, that freeway is ALWAYS JAMMED LIKE A PARKING LOT. What may have happened is that when a break came in traffic everybody started driving fast out of relief…hence, an accident.

Woah!! This is some serious sh!t right here. She needs to get herself the best lawyer money can afford because witnesses claim she admitted she caused the accident at the scene. Poor Brandy, my heart goes out to her. (and the victims family of course) Sad situation because it was probably just an accident.

@ # 20 Chante…

I feel some of what you’re saying, about the woman’s life being priceless and all, but look at your statement….

Exhibit A:”she’s rich enough to pay this”

SMH..and that’s the mentality of some people. That’s all folks think about. But if it wasn’t “Brandy”, how much should they sue for then?…You know, if they’re not a person that’s rich enough to pay $50 million. How much do you sue for then? Not enough argument for you? Okay….

Exhibit B: “she’s LUCKY she ain’t going to jail”

Your d@mn right she is. But considering the fact that there is much more that goes into this whole situation, more then just Brandy’s negligence. I’m sure she did not wake up in the morning thinking “You know what, I feel like killing someone today.” And for that reason I think that people shouldn’t go around branding her as a MURDERER! It was an ACCIDENT. Last but not least…

Exhibit C:”Had it been YOUR MAMA in that car, you wouldn’t feel sorry for Brandy ONE BIT so quit playing that “oh it’s so unfair” song”.

That depends on the situation. Like I said before, it was an ACCIDENT. People try to forgive others for ACCIDENTS. Noones saying that Brandy shouldn’t pay a price, but after knowing that you not paying attention to the road for one second is the cause of some bodies death is price enough. Oh my bad, let’s just throw $50 million dollars on it as well, because she’s “Brandy” and can supposedly afford it.

I’ll give you an example of when someone should SUE…

In my town a few months ago this women, along with three children were driving on a two-lane street, both going opposite directions. A man coming the opposite direction was IMPATIENT and took it upon himself to past the car in front of him and end up hitting the women HEAD-ON. Two of the little boys died (one of them was my nephews friend), the woman was in CRITICAL condition for I don’t know how long as well as the other child. They both can’t walk right now, and they are saying that the other little boy may NEVER walk again. But I have not heard anything about them SUEING the man. You want to know why? Because when someone takes a life of a LOVED one (over IGNORANCE), you don’t want their MONEY you want THEM! And that’s why the MAN is getting PROSECUTED and more then likely he will spend the rest of his life behind bars. Because that’s what he deserves! Because, unlike BRANDY, the court said that 10 years ago the man did the same exact thing and caused a car crash….

So, you’re right. Her life was worth more then $50 million, so why SUE, if LIFE is so PRICELESS.

I rest my d@mn case! I swear I am MAJORING in the wrong thing. I need to be MAJORING in CRIMINAL JUSTICE with all that BRILLIANCE I just did.

ANON

BOO…I read the story related, and I made my comments above…someone mention Brandy not being worth $50 million,(and she isnt) which prompted my search of her net worth and Beyonce’s name was also on the list..

Dont have a heart attck over the word BEyonce…its ok Beyonce and Mathew Knowles will not harm you…they dont know you exist…

Beyonce…did something happen?

Beyonce..now?

Bey—–onceeeee…

Now..keep it moving boo boo

50 million dollars isn’t going to bring the women back. You said so yourself that the women’s life was priceless, so why put a price on it? Obviously, the family was going to sue and they have every right to do so, but you have to admit that 50 millions dollars is a ridiculous amount of money.

What does suing Brandy for 50 million dollars solve? Is it going to make Brandy a better driver?
Is it going to prevent her from a future ACCIDENT ?
If it had(God forbid) been you driving that car would they have sued you for 50 million?
Is it going to bring the women back to life?

To MARAJUANA_TABLETS,

And they don’t know you exists either, so please stop studying them for your own good. Out of all the names on that list you just happen to pick Beyonce? Out of all the names? Her fans are some stalkers for real! Get a life with all that shit. I don’t give a shit about that girls name, but people bringing her up in every post, even one about a car crash where someone has lost their life, it’s getting real old now. Theres another post going on right now that people like yourself can go over to about Latoya and Latavia getting kicked out the group, and you can say her name and talk about her all your little heart desires. Give it a rest in 2007. Because this post is far more important then her. I apoligize if i’ve upset you. Sensitive ass!

what the hell $50mil!!! At this point it’s all about GREED GREED GREED. Why sue at all, it was a bloody accident for pit-sake and those happen each and everyday of ourlives. The family should just stop it right there and just let their daughter rest in peace. The $50 mil will not bring her back and it will certainly not ease their pain.
It’s always sad to loose a loved one especially so unexpectedly, but what they are doing is wrong, you can’t put a price on a persons life.

To MARAJUANA_TABLETS,

SMH. Just came back from the Latoya and Latavia posts. Yeah your a STAN, you can smell them from a mile away, i’m not even going to waste my time. lol.

50 mill is extreme for moesha!

Wow 50 Million dollars. That is not going to bring the lady back. I knew a lawsuit was coming but wow. Brandy is strong I am sure she will get Through this. I am saddened for the family but what if it wasn’t brandy? Sorry to say that could happen to any of us. The women is dead and in the mist of all the crying and such, when it is said and done somebody is going to have money in their pocket or they will be fighting over it. What a world we live in.

DAMN B I’LL I CAN TELL U IS TO PRAY AND HAVE A ONE ON 1 WITH THE FAM AND MOVE FOWARD AND FORGET ABOUT ALL THE NEGATIVE SHIT THAT CAN DEFINANTLY FET TO YOU THEY JUST BORED AND LONELY THEY’LL GET A LIFE SUM DAY UNTIL THEN WILL PRAY 4 THEM THIS LAWSUIET IS UNFARE GET OPRAH JESSY AND AL ON THIS THE TRY TO JIP U YOU DO OWE THEM SOMETHING BUT NOT MONEY AND 4 THEM EVEN PULLING THIS SHADY ACT IT WILL CUM BACK PRAYYYYYYYYYYY AND WORK WITH GOD ON THIS

DAMN MESS UP SUM WORDS LOL

I really feel sorry for Brandy, she acknowledged that she was wrong, apologised and everything; but if that were my mother or my child who was dead???, I would’ve wanted Brandy to be charged and sentenced to Jail. Celeb or no celeb. The $50 mil reward is definitely not enough, but I’m sure it will ease their pain a little.

Brandy was invited by the womans husband to come to him privately to talk before he even got his lawyer, and she did’nt do it . She could have ended this with some kind of settlement then , but she did’nt go. So to me it seems as if she wants to pay for being so stupid , and not meeting with him. I would have jumped at the chance to make this legal stuff go away.

Really, do you have proof?..article..link?^
or are you close with the victims family?

wow.. brandy done f’d up now.

All yall are hypocrits, yall know damn well yall would try to get money from her to compensate from what her NEGLIGENCE caused. I’m not saying they are 100% right but I won’t diss them for doing what they do, if I died in a car accident by a celebrity who wouldn’t go to jail also because she’s a celebrity I WOULD WANT MY FAMILY TO BE TAKEN CARE OF if they HAD THE OPPORTUNITY, and YOU KNOWN GOOD AND WELL YOU WOULD TO! Brandy will still replace that hole in her account one way or another. Quit frontin’.

Wow… my sympathies go out to the family. If in fact, Bandy caused the accident, she should definitely pay up big time. More than likely, her new album will drop once this devastating affair is over.

If it had(God forbid) been you driving that car would they have sued you for 50 million?

^^ No NATALIA, because I’m not rich and not a celebrity. But a celebrity can get away with it because she’s a celebrity and avoid going to jail UNLIKE ME. I’d PROBABLY BE HEADED TO A JAIL CELL, even if it was an accident, because I’m some random citizen. Brandy won’t face no jail time. You know and I know she WONT. At least they compensate how they can. Brandy will survive, trust me, and I’m a fan of hers, the woman on the other hand didn’t survive, and emotionally will her family survive? I dont blame them and I’m sure Brandy understands.

I knew this was coming.

$50 million will not bring the woman back to life. But as some form of compensation, I guess it’s ok.

Damn…Brandy must feel really bad…she’ll have to live with this for the rest of her life.

Please. She should go to PRISON - she is a person like the rest of us, celebrity or not.
She was involved in an accident that KILLED another human being. SHE SHOULD BE PUNISHED. I don’t give a damn if I like her music. Just like R. Kelly. His ass should go to jail (and I’m probably the only Black person on EARTH who doesn’t support his punkass!)

#1 & 5 THATS WAS HELLA FUNNY BUT WHAT PIC ARE YALL SEEING?? I DONT SEE ANYTHING BUT A CAR ACCIDENT PHOTO TELL ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

FIFTY F*CKING MILLION DOLLARS.

Shits disgusting. Now I really feel it for Brandy.

DAMN I FORGOT TO COMMENT LMAOO

THIS IS JUST A MESS, I MEAN DAMN DOES BRANDY HAVE SOME BAD KARMA?? THIS JUST GETS WORSE FOR HER, SMH WELL NO AMOUNT OF $$$ WILL BRING THIS WOMAN BACK, BUT BRANDY MUST BE READY TO SLIT HER WRISTS RIGHT ABOUT NOW YALL KNOW HOW FRAGILE SHE IS…

I WISH HER THE BEST

First of all this could have happened to anyone of us. It just happen to Brandy! She will have to live with this forever, that’s punshiment enoughh. The victims lawyer already looked into Brandy pockets to see that she has a enough revenue to pay 50 million dollars. Brandy has been out for 12 years. She has Americas got talent, Covergirl, Moesha, Thea, Hair weave, Houses, Cars, Movies sje has been it, and music. She will be alright. Just pray that this won’t happen to anyone of us. Did you ever think that it could have been your mother or sister who killed somone by accident and people were beening cruel to them? Did you think that maybe that woman stopped suddendly and brandy could’nt stop fast enough? We don’t know what really happen. Would you guys still be saying this evil stuff if it was Beyonce?

Well what can I say Brand does indeed need to pay for the mess that she caused but all ya’ll know that girl is just not stable. I fear that this accident may have just pushed her over the edge of the cliff. My sympathies go out to the family who lost the life of a loved one. Even though money won’t bring her back it must be some type of reciprocity to them to know that she has to pay ( cause I will be shocked if she has to go to prison). God Bless all who was involved now time to get back to my paper.

Okay, now I’m mad. After this serious ordeal, WHAT THE HELL can those people do with that much money?! That amount is bullshit high, they know it. I’m not saying it wasn’t Brandy’s fault, I love her and it is kinda in her range for that accident, but now… that family has gotten greedy… the love money is the root of all evil.

Brandy, 27, was driving on Dec. 30 when traffic slowed and her vehicle hit Aboudihaj’s, a CHP report said.

Aboudihaj’s car hit another vehicle, slid sideways into the center divider and was then hit by another car, the report said. Aboudihaj, a Los Angeles waitress, died at a hospital from blunt-force injuries, according to the coroner’s office.

Would the other drivers be sued to?….
Ah well, that’s how it is in the US…..money heals all woes and grief

Damn. That car is tore up. I feel so bad for the family of the victim.
I also feel bad for Brandy, she has not had the best luck over the years. I wish her the best…

That poor woman’s parents are turning her tragic death into a get rich fiasco. People wanna dam near hang brandy for an “accident”. She wasn’t high, drunk or running her mouth on the phone. She took her eyes off the road for a moment (from what I hear) and don’t we all do that? Her carelessness cost a life yes but $50mil? If she wasn’t rich n famous all they would be asking for would be the policy limits on her vehicle. My prayers go out to the family for their loss but I must SMH at cashing in on their daughter’s death.

Now this is some shit…cause no matter what you say you know damn well that if that had been your daughter/wife/mother that was killed in that car accident you’d be wailing that the person who caused the accident needs to pay. Whether it be by going to jail, paying a fine (which wouldn’t be enough), or paying some huge settlement.

The woman who was killed left behind a small child? Brandy should pay. Due to her negligience that baby just lost her provider. That responsibility now falls on the grandparents who may or may not have that kind of money. Brandy should pay something…maybe not 50 million (that’s just the lawyers…the parents would never have thought up that sum) but she should contribute to a fund for the baby.

Bill Said:

I cosign 101%.

I think it’s important to be COMPASSIONATE to people when the trials of life afflict them.

These situation could happen to any one of us.

Brandy didn’t mean to get in an accident.

I feel bad for both Brandy & the family of the young lady who died in this terrible crash.

Brandy must be under a great deal of stress, facing both jail time & cival lawsuits.

I think that we as a community should PRAY for her.

Peace

I feel bad for the family. It was an unfortunate accident. You knew the lawsuit was going to come. The family will not get $50 million. They will get under $5. The police didnt arrest Brandy nor did it come to light for almost a month. If she was drinking or under the influence of drugs I would say they would get more. But it was just an unfortunate accident.

It’s sad that this has happened. I can see the family wanting some type of compensation. I think she could have at least offered to pay for her funeral, give her kids a college fund or something. My brother died in 05 and the people that were involoved set out to do what they did to him. In that case since it was something malicious then I can see suing them for money but if it wasn’t intentional I’m not for sure if I would. ( I can say that now because I’m not in that situation) I’ve learned in my pain that you can have all the money in the world but that won’t bring them back and it won’t lessen the pain. As I said before I can feel a gospel cd coming on. I know I’m wrong for saying it but it’s happened before. A star has sonething tragic happen to them and then they start to get their life together. I don’t know what Brandy’s situation was but God allowed it to happen for some reason.

This is horrible for everyone involved, no amount of money can bring a human being back, I still say that 50 million dollars is a lot. I would hope I wouldn’t do the same if I were in the husband’s shoes. But since I’m not I honestly don’t know what I would do.

I don’t know about 50 million dollars, but I do think punitive damages should definitely be awarded all hospital and funeral expenses paid, counseling for the family, education paid for, monthly support 5x’s what the mother contributed to the household for the child and the child should also have a trust fund.

Matthew Broderick killed two people and he was only fined $175.00.

Hell to the no I would say take me to jail right damn now ride that year out like a soldier girl! I would pay 1-5 million tops anything else is just an attempt to milk the girl for everything she own “highway robbery”.

They are only doing this because she is a celebrity. Bottom line I feel for the family but there would be no suing going on if she wasn’t rich duh! It was accident. Accident happens every day. brandy was not high,drunk or anything.

Damn! this is crazy I mean I do think that too much but hell she famous so their going get whatever they can out of her, but I do feel sorry for the family though my condolence go out to them.

This is a sad situation and i feel horrible for Brandy cause I am and always will be a huge fan. But I have to say I think the media played a huge part in these peoples decision to sue as well as CHP to try to press charges.

I mean relly people this happened OVER A MONTH AGO!!! No one was screaming sue then. If the media had not plasted the unfortunate event all over the TV and web this family would not have had people and lawyers all in their ear convincing them to sue and CHP would not be feeling presure to try and file charges all of a sudden.

And why are the parents sueing and not her husband for the sake of his child. Clearly if he did nto want to take that route then the parents should back off.

But the fact of the matter is that even of they win the case the odds of thes people getting that money are silm. Look at the most famous case we all know OJ did it and he has yet to pay the Browns or the Goldmans ANY of their money and its been over TEN years.

This is a sad sitution and my prayers go out to this womans husbad and child as well as the entire Norwood family. LOVE YOU B ROCCA KEEP YA HEAD UP!!!

Maybe Ray J can sell some copies of his sex tape to help pay fo this cause Brandy sho ain’t even got 2 million.

IF BRANDY WEREN’T A CELEBRITY THEY WOULDN’T BE ASKING FOR 50 MILLION PEOPLE CAN TAKE A HORRIBLE SITUATION AND MAKE IT WORSE! KNOW THAT BRANDY FEELS BAD, AND IS EXTREMELY HURT OVER THIS…. BUT 2 ASK FOR 50 MILLION, YEAH SOME MONEY WOULD BE NICE. LIKE TOO BURY THE VICTIM AND HELP THE FAMILY MOVE ON BUT 50 MILLION? STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!!

This is a sad situation and a lose-lose for Brandy either way. I feel bad for her cause it was an accident and accidents do happen, but I feel for the family of the victim of the family cause her lack of attention and recklessness killed their daughter. I agree with their lawsuit, and the criminal charge was bound to come along….I feel she should be charged and fined, but I dont think she should have to do jail time.

I AM A VERY BIG FAN OF BRANDY. THE ACCIDENT WAS AN TRAGIC EVENT, I PRAY SHE POLICE DON’T TRY TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF HER BY CHARGING HER WITH VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER.

FOR THAT WOMAN’S PARENTS TO WANT $50 MILLION, IS A BIT MUCH. THEY’RE ONLY ASKING FOR THAT MUCH BECAUSE SHE IS A CELEBRITY.

BRANDY HAS WORKED TOO HARD TO GET WHERE SHE IS AT. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN EVERYDAY, AND ITS ONLY GETTING THIS ATTENTION BECAUSE SHE IS FAMOUS.

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP BRANDY!!!

She shouldn’t get off because she’s a celebrity, but no amount of money is gonna bring the woman back. She admitted to being responsible for the accident because she wasn’t paying attention. I think the fact that her careless actions left 2 parents, a husband, and 2 kids without a loved one is gonna be a lifetime sentence for her.

somebody let me know what beyonce Net Worth have to do with brandy car Accident?! help a brother OUT!! Because I don’t understand WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT BEYONCE LET HER REST!!!!!!!!!! JESUS

Hell yea!! Thats too much money. If she wasn’t famous they wounldn’t be sueing. Its simply not fair. I mean the girl was not drunk and she was not on any drugs. It was just an accident that ended up fatal. I can’t belived they are putting all her business in the media like this. Havn’t she been through enough. I mean she killed someone on accident and everytime you go on the web or watch the news thats all she sees. Leave her alone and let her get through this alone.

Personally, I think that charging her criminally is crazy. It was an accident. No drinking. No drugs. I’m still confused why the person who actually caused the woman’s death (the other car) has not been mentioned. TECHNICALLY that driver was apart of the accident as well but they’ll only sue Brandy b/c she has money. Yes, Brandy should have to pay some damages but $50mil? That’s a little bit much for an accident. But no charges should be brought.

I do not see the logic behind suing for $50 million. I can maybe understand the family wanting Brandy to foot any bills that were incurred due to the accident (ambulance/hospital bills-if used, funeral cost, etc.) but nothing more.

Sorry to say, but I think the lawsuit is JUSTIFIED. It only takes one to be empathetic to the situation. This woman was KILLED, her life can never be gotten back. I wonder how many on this board would sue for less if it were their wife/mother/daughter? The bottom line is..if Brandy is found to have been negligent (i.e. cell phone talking)and the CAUSE of the accident then that is surely grounds to pay judgment in a “wrongful death” lawsuit.

It is what it is, I can’t defend Brandy just because she’s black. Hell, from the looks of the victim’s name she TOO was black (African, most likely).

i hate it that the lady died in the crash, however i kinda think that they are sueing her because they know she has the money. id could understand more if they wanted her to pay for the person’s funeral expenses- but 50 mil? would they be treating her the same way if it was a sober non drugged non-famous person?

@BILLMAN

I COSIGN 150 PERCENT. IT’S UNBELIEVEABLE HOW THE TOPIC DON’T HAVE TO HAVE SHIT TO DO WITH HER HER NAME WILL POP UP! I’M NOT A HATER. I THINK SHE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL AS DO ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE BUT GOT DAYUM THIS MAKES NO SINCE. IF THE TOPIC IS NOT BEYONCE WE DON’T NEED TO HEAR HER NAME OVER AND OVER!

It was an accident but Brandy was at fault. Would the mother have made fifty million dollars to support her family if she were alive?

I think this is fucked up! $50 mil ain’t gon bring that lady back. If Joe Shmoe had hit her, they wouldn’t be able to file for that money because Joe wouldn’t have it. Believe me, my heart goes out to everyone involved (especially the family) but this stinks to high hell! It’s like extortion. Brandy, love her or hate her, MADE her own damn money through her dreams. It’s fucked up that these people want her loot. This situation pains me!~

I feel sorry for everyone involved. Very tragic.

#3 I COULDN’T AGREE WITH YOU MORE!! THIS IS SUCH A TRAGIC EVENT. I DO NOT BELIVE THAT BRANDY SHOULD BE CHARGED IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT CLEARLY SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT AND SHE WASN’T UNDER THE IKNFLUENCE OF ANYTHING. SECOND OF ALL, IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN O ANY FREEWAY, CRAZY SHIT LIKE THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!!! IF SOMEONE BREAKS IN FRONT OF YOU ND YOU DON’T HAVE SUFFICICIENT WARNING, THEN YU ARE GOING TO HIT THEM!! IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!! AND SHE WAS DOING 65 WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE FREEWAY FOR CHRISTSAKES!!! SO I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW THIS IS ANYTHING OTHER THAN AN ACCIDENT. LASTLY, I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE FAMILY REQUESTING ANY MONET AT ALL!! WHY IS IT, WHEN CELEBRKITIES ARE INVOLVED IN CCIDENTS, THE PEOPLE TRY TO SQEEZE THEM FOR MONEY? WHAT MAKS THEM THINK THAT THEY ARE ENTITLED TO IT? I DON’T MEAN TO SOUND MEAN, BUT MOST LIKELY, THEIR DAUGHTER WAS NEVER GOING TO BE WORTH THAT MUCH OR EARN THAT IN HER LIFETIME, SO WH ARE THEY ENTITLED TO IT? I HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN PEOPLE ARE POOR AND THERE IS A DEATH AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEY SMELL MONEY AND TRY TO GET IT!!! HOW IS IT FAIR THAT THEIR DAUGHTER IS DEAD AND YET IF THEY GET THIS MONEY, THEY WILL BE LIVING HIGH ON THE HOG OFF OF DEATH MONEY!! I THINK THY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES…. ACCIDENTS LIKE THIS HAPPEN EVERY DAY TO REGULAR PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES HAVE TO JUST ACEPT IT, PRAY AND MOVE ON, JUST AS THIS FAMILY SHOULD DO INSTEAD OF TRYNG TO USDE IT AS AN OPPOURTUNITY TO GET RICH……

One question though: Would we (and I’m including myself in this) feel differently about this if a rich, white celebrity had hit and killed a black person by accident and then the family sued that white celeb for $50 million?

Just asking…..food for though.

^^thought, I mean.

GUYS-

Someone sent me more pictures of this terrible tragedy yesterday. I sent it on to my email group and everyone was afraid to even open the remainder after they opened the first. Unbeknownst to me, it was this lady. The car is the same. The way it (the car) looked against the wall was unbelievable.

OMG! The pictures were HORRIFIC! I could stomach them but noone else on my list could. I just wanna say that AGAIN, my condolences to the deceased’s family!

I just can’t get that image out of my head! Brandy, our prayers go out to you and your family as well because this other family is not gonna give up until they feel justice has been served.

This is no surprise!!!! She should’ve known it was coming sooner or later…

#86 - you know people would be calling for that rich, white celebrity’s head.

damn..what a horrible way to go…that car was turned into soup…eeekk

Totally co-sign with #20 Chante!!! PREACH!!!

$50 mil is too much..ppl are really greedy….Do they think Brandy is Oprah….I feel sorry for the family who lost the woman in the crash…but it seems as if they are over the greving and just see $$$ in their eyes..

They’ll probably settle out of court and the family will get about 10 million. It happens all the time. they definately deserve some money.

Brandy, girl keep your head up…it could have happened to anyone. I can’t tell you how many times i drive and get distracted..it’s human nature. to those saying she should go to jail, I hope you’re ALWAYS 100% CAREFUL WHEN YOU GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF YOUR CAR, CAUSE KARMA IS A BITCH! GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSES.

50 fuckin mill is too damn much ..if Brandy was on drugs or drinkin different story it could happen 2 anybody thats whats scary the family needs to step back asking 4 all that money ..

OK THIS IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF….

EVERYONE KEEPS ON COMMING HERE AND CALLING IT AN ACCIDENT AND BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH, BRANDY SHULDNT BE PUNISHED….BEUCASE SHE DIDNT GET UP THAT MORNING AND GET INTO HER CAR WITH THE INTENTION OF KILLING SOMEONE IN HER VEHICLE DOESNT MEAN THAT SHE CANT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR R-E-C-K-L-E-S-S D-R-V-I-N-G…

IF SHE WAS TALKLING ON HER CELL, EATING OR WHATEVER AND CAUSED THIS COLLISION SHE SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY FOR THE CONSIQUENCES…I MEAN THE GIRLS CAR WAS TURNED INTO SOUP FOR GODS SAKE, SO WHATEVER BRANDY DID SHE FUCKED UP BIG TIME

FOR THOSE OF US WHO DRIVE WE’VE ALL BEEN CUT OFF, OVER TAKEN AND WHEN SOMEONE GIVES US A BAD DRIVE WE ALL HAVE THE SAME REACTION AND SAY “WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT” BUT KEEP ON DRIVING….BRANDY COULD HAVE VERY WELL BEEN ONE OF THOSE PUNKS ON THE ROAD THAT DAY AND THIS IS THE PRICE SHE HAS TO PAY…AN ENTIRE LIFE WAS LOST OVER STRAIGHT CARELESSNESS

Has anyone bothered to notice that the car that has the most damage to it is a Mercedes Benz? The woman who Brandy hit was in a Honda Accord. People are looking at the shocking images of the Benz to say “look at what Brandy did” but she didn’t even hit that car!

Agree with #3. What a nightmare.

Brandy will get through this with God’s help. Everyone is saying its not fair to sue, blah blah blah. Just because the victim’s family is seeking $50 mil, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll get it. They may get some $, but $50 mil, doubt it.

Let’s just wait and see how things unfold before we start calling Brandy “reckless” and the victim’s family “golddiggers”. That family has every right in the world to seek compensation for the loss of their loved one.

I know damn well some of you would be hiring an attorney, before you even identified the body. Get off their case.

If Brad Pitt or Denzel Washington killed your child accidently, you wouldn’t try to get some money? If you say no, you’re lying! GTFOH

@97 Reece:

I see your point sweety, but again, none of this would’ve happened if Brandy didn’t start it.

I’m not getting some of these posts that feel Brandy is faultless in this entire ordeal.

C’mon folx! She is responsible to a certain degree, whether you agree or not. If she wasn’t the city would not have picked up the case.

Let’s be realistic. Also, each state has a certain cap on civil cases. The family may be asking for $50M but it’s highly unlikely they will receive that or even close. But, their attorney has to come with an offer regardless of how insurmountable it might be!

I just feel sorry for my Brandy, I hope she gets through this…

Brandy#1Fan_MEl

^ I’m suing regardless, celeb or not. Why should celebrities be exempt from criminal punishment? If one of us hit someone, we’d probably be in jail w/no bond up until the court date.

I dont feel she deserves to go to jail, but she should have to pay something.

dang man, there is always a way for God to bring everyone down to earth and let them know who’s really in charge he doesnt care if u famous or not, everyone needs a lesson to be learned but i fell bad for both parties.

To number 75 we were not talking about beyonce net worth. We said would these comments be the same if it was her. Brandy has enough money shes been out and did covergirl, candies, movies etc.

Beyonce is not worth more than jay-z or diddy. Look Beyonce did not even make the list of the 20 richest women in entertainment. She is on worth 20 million dollars. Go to E and check it out.

Now I’m just confused. Who came up with this amount of $? Did someone close their eyes and stick their hand in a hat? Okay yes, Brandy is a smart and saavy young business woman that has parlayed her talents into a career spanning over a decade. Yes, she will forever get royalties from album sales and Moesha reruns, but fiddy million dollars… I say got damn. Ain’t no way in sun by golly Jesus she has fiddy million bucks to just hand over.

This has sharky lawyer written all over it. Any other time the courts would consider how much the victim would have made up until retirement plus the cost of living and raising a child and come up with a figure from that. But it sure as hell ain’t fiddy million.

The US of A is a litigious society and where there is money to be made, please believe you will see some vultures. I hate to say it Brandy, but now’s the time you’re gonna find out who your true friends really are.

I think in some aspects they are using Brandy as an example. Matthew Broderick (Inspector Gadget, Ferris Bueller), Leiff Garrett (The Blue Lagoon), and Rebecca Gayhart (Urban Legends) have all had accidents which resulted in death, and never has the recourse been this extreme. Should Brandy be held accountable, of course, but if it’s out of the realm of what she’s able to do then what good does it make?

On a lighter note, and I hate to make fun of this situation. But when I came here and saw $50 milion dollars, I swear the scene from Rush Hour with Chris Tucker ran through my mind. The scene where the Consulate’s daughter was kidnapped and Chris was on the phone taking the ransom demands and the guy said $50 million dollars. Chris’s voice got all high and he said… “fiddy million dollars, fiddy million dollars, who you think you kidnapped… Chelsea Clinton”?

I know its not funny and I shouldn’t laugh but like the earlier post said, sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to finish listening to my Never Say Never album. I love that CD. brandy I love you and I’m still a fan.

Has anybody seen Brandy’s car? They say it was taken in for checking, but wouldn’t have been at the scene of the accident?

I have to ask this what if it was your family memeber your MOM,DAD,SISTER,BROTHER,GRANDMOTHER would you feel so sorry for brandy be real would you. just asking I pray brandy don’t have to do time for this but if she was driving Reckless then she needs to pay for what she did.

I repeat my last comment: “women should be banned from the road”

I feel bad for the family but suing Brandy for $50 million WON’T bring their mom back

It was an accident and these things happen. She wasn’t on the phone, she wasn’t speeding, she wasn’t under ANY sort of influence at all!!!

The world these days *shakes head*

^^ According to statistic, MOST accidents are caused by men because women are naturally more cautious. Not all accident but MOST of them.

I’m going to be honest for the ones who keep asking if a rich celeb had taken the life of my mother or child would I sue? Hell yeah I would sue and I’d be suing for the same reason I believe that family is suing. Maybe it’s a shame but it’s the truth.

There are no words to describe this disaster and I cannot believe some of you are joking about it. I do agree that the family needs to be compensated for the loss of life, but 50 million dollars is just extreme, bottom line..no way around it. It was a tragic accident that took a life and will probably cause Brandy emotional distress for the rest of her life. Just a horrible situation. Brandy better get on her knees and pray until they start to bleed, because only god can help her with this one. The money isn’t even the primary issue right now..just think of the emotional distress that must be going with the parties involved . Terrible, terrible situation.

I think that is so unreasonable 50 million but I guess i would think different if it were my mother or cousin or whatever…either way the 1yr and 1,000 fine sounds better than 50million shes rich but that would put a dent in jay-z or puffy pockets!

It was an accident. Although tragic, accidents happen. I feel bad for both Brandy and the family… Should they get $50 million? I know no amount of money would heal the pain of my loss.

I don’t feel bad for brandy. She was talking on the phone, you would think she could afford a handsfree device.

MATTER OF FACT CHECK OUT THIS PAGE FOR THE STATISTICS about Men vs Women drivers :

According to CMU statistics :
http://it-gears.blogspot....women-vs-men-drivers.html
“Statistics tell that in the period 1999-2004 in 116 493 from the death accidents were caused by a man while women drivers were just 40 381 of the times!”

MSNBC had an article about it too : http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16698153/
“Male drivers have a 77 percent higher risk of dying in a car accident than women, based on miles driven.”

SO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT NEGRO!!!!!

People on here have examined this issue inside and out.

Brandy should pay. Brandy shouldn’t pay. It was an accident. She didn’t mean it.
The bottom line is that when the testimony comes out, and if it is proven that she was not paying attention in whatever form or fashion that is, she will be held liable. And, if it is proven that she slamed into the back of this woman’s car without enough time to break, it is considered “following too closely”. She is in a real tough spot and I truly pray for her. Unfortunately many people cannot and will not find it in their hearts to just sit down and say it is alright and we know you didn’t mean to cause this wreck which subsequently caused the dealth of my loved one. People need to be compassionate, yes, for both parties, but people need to be real too about the situation and how people will act in a court of law. Once you have a death involved, there are too many variable that need to be examined. There is no limit to what people can ask for when a death has occured. That doesn’t make it moral nor does it make things better. It really depends on how the person’s involved chose to resolve the issue. The law is not compassionate nor is it always just. It is up to the people involved to show compassion. If they can’t, then you better be praying that the law is on your side.

The media is attempting to make Brandy look like a monster by posting the pictures of the accident in an attempt to gain sympathy for the deceased woman and her family. It is extremely sad and unfortunate that this woman lost her life and my prayers are with her family, I couldn’t imagine losing my mom like that and I couldn’t imagine being the person responsible for killing someone like that. Both families involved need prayer. NOW!!! On the 50 million dollar tip, according to the news, the lady was working two jobs to take care of her parents and her child, the parents are the ones suing (am I right?!?!) so they just want to be taken care of. They need to be suing for what she would have been giving them a week, month, year something for maybe twenty years- nothing close to fifty million. You can’t put a price on life, but MONEY MAKES US SMILE JUST A LIL BIT HARDER AND BRIGHTER. Hopefully, both parties involved will be able to rest after the media is done demonizing Brandy. (Lesson to all: pay attention tot he road, do not do anything that takes your attention off of the road for longer than it takes for you to look in your rearview or side mirrors)- it can happen to anyone, I just thank God that He’s spared me from this type of heartache and sleepless nights.

Cosigns with #28. The money won’t bring her back but think about this woman’s family and child. Who’s to say this woman had life insurance or money saved up for her child to go to college or be taken care of. They have a ton of expenses now because of the reckless actions of someone else who just happens to be Brandy. Wrongful Death lawsuits happen everyday, even to lesser known people.

I feel sorry for everyone involved. Brandy too. But I do believe she needs to be help accountable for this life lost some kind of way.

OK, black people…This is the way white people do it! If you’re gonna sue, you may as well ask for the moon and the stars! What’s the difference if they asked for $1M, $5M or $10M? What should you ask for one month after losing your daughter? $20M? Why not ask for $100M? Brandy has provide a preponderance of the evidence by her own admission of guilt! Admitting guilt is something you should never do until after you speak with your lawyer! I reserve judgement on the merits of the case and I’m even less concerned about the amount of the $50M claim!

When you go for new career, most employers ask what starting salary you would like! Ask for the moon and stars! When you sue for sexual harassment of discrimination, ask for 40 acres and a Benz! The asking amount means nothing unless you ask for too little! Sell yourself short and see how quick you get a settlement! You be like, “damn I should have asked for more!”

Ron Goldmans parents sued O.J. and were awarded $8.5M in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages for wrongful death of their son. They never collected a penny! O. J. lives on $25,000/month from his $4M NFL pension!

My heart goes out to Brandy and the woman’s family. I do feel that the family should get some money because the baby was being raised by a single parent and now probably the grandparents have to step in and raise the child. And some of yall are frontin’ saying that they shouldn’t get nothing, but if it was you in that position you’ll be trying to get some dollars too. But 50 million is ridiculous!!!!!!

$50 million. that is ridiculous, but i knew it was coming. Plus after the husband said he found out about the wreck on the computer. No one even called and told him his wife was killed; he claimed he found out days later. So with that being said, they probably weren’t even together. He will try to sue someone next!

Society is built on money and everything that surrounds it is about money.

Al Sharpton and a few others are on the case saying that she is being treated this way b/c she is a celebrity.

Some of you really on Sunday need to go to the alter and DEDICATE your life to Christ b/c you need help.

Her life, mine and yours are not for sale and are priceless. No amount of money will bring her back, but I guess the family living comfortably at the expense of their mother,daughter,or wife is good enough.

Money is the root of all evil so it is written, the money wont change anything or fill the void. But I guess for some of you if you money is the beginning and the end and if you really feel like that then the end will be soon for you.

SOME OF YALL NEED PRAYER!

Money isn’t the root to all evil. The word says, “the love of money is the root to all evil!” It’s not the money itself, but greed!!

She is only going through that because she is a celebrity! My heart goes to Brandy and the family of the woman that was killed. But an accident is an accident. She wasn’t under the influence of nothing. So, I doubt if she is charged or have to pay. That’s my prayer!! Even though she lied to all of us for lyin about being married to the Robert dude!!

She should not be charged criminally. She wasn’t drunk or on drugs. She has expressed her contrition publicly. The way I see it, it was just a real tragic ACCIDENT! Brandy should pay something in a civil suit but not $50 million.

I hope this doesn’t mess up Brandy’s TV deal with NBC

brandy can afford that cuz yahoo said she gets $600,000 per episode of Moesha that is bein aire and it air like four times a day.

If this family is going after Brandy thinking its their rich payday that is very very sickning. Brandy doesnt even have that kind of money. Whats really sad is that she will have to settle out of court and hopefully both families can move on.
My sympathy for the deceased woman and her family and hopefully Brandy can find peace in this terrible ordeal.

Wow! “Muslim prayer when someones dies” From God we come, to God we will return. With that being said, it was time for the sister to go. Everyone has a birthday and death day it was just her time to go. My condolence to the ladies family and I’ll keep the Norwood family in my prayers also.

Brandy already admitted guilt, and said she “felt remorseful” and I’m sure her family will help her get thru this. I just wish most people on her will be respectful to all the families involved. I don’t get some comments on here about if she wasn’t a celebrity, the family wouldn’t sue. People sue non celebrities all the time, I know a lot of you are emotional about this because it’s Brandy, but non celebrities get sued all the time, everyday.

Just lift the families up in prayer and be respectful of the died. Surely, if it were you’re family member you would think otherwise.

i think….but its around that much tho….again im feel so sorry for the family and her.

My deepest sympathies go out to the family of the woman who was killed in the car accident. What is 50 million dollars gonna do? That will not bring her back and that will not take away any sorrow. If Brandy were a regular 9-5 working person woould they sue for this much. I don’t think so. There is not even a guarantee that she will be able to pay that to them if everything does go through. I am not condoning what Brandy did because she should have been paying attention, but she has to live with what she has done for the rest of her life. Everyone think about if you were in her shoes. She admitted that it was her fault also. She has not tried to excuse her way out of it and for that much I commend her.

@ #79, If it showed the correct pic on aol, that lady that died is not black, and at # 91 and whoever else said that the car looked like soup and brandy should pay, you need to remember that Brandy hit the back of the victims car, there was another car that slammed into the victim and killed her. Get it correct. The damage to the side of the car was not caused by brandy, and to bring it to a close, I agree with the people that are asking if the person in the car that killed her are going to be sued also, by the looks of that car they were going way more than 65 mph.

my heart goes out to both parties. keep your head up and remember in time ” this too will pass”.GOD BLESS.

Thats really sad and they are taking advatage of the situation! 50 million? Yeah right I would agree 100% if she had been drinking or on the phone or putting on make-up! But she had an accident that wasn’t the result of her not paying attention!

A year in Jail and 50 million will not compensate for anything….it can’t bring the dead back to life or clean anybody of sins….the damage can never be erased.

Even though it was an “accident”, someone lost their life and I believe she should compensate the family. $50 mil…$hiiiiit, if she got it like that. Go head and pay up.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! only a $1000 fine? now this is something REALLY obvious compared to lil’ kim’s case only a year or so ago. lil’ kim spent a year and a day…A YEAR AND A DAY…in jail for NOT SNITCHING! brandy’s ugly martian looking ass KILLED somebody. and look at her now! she’s still on fuckin trial! bullshit! just plain dumb shit!

shoutin love to ms lil’ kim!
~N@ughty

Rebecca Gayheart and Matthew Brodrick killed people, and people didn’t hang them for it, but Brandy is being beat up left and right. I sense something shady behind this whole fiasco.

Some of you say “it was JUST an accident” like it was something that could not be controlled. Brandy apparently was not paying ATTENTION to driving, setting in motion conditions which led to someones DEATH. Is talking on your cell or looking for some paper or eating worth KILLING someone?? Brandy WON’T go to jail, Brand WON’T have to pay 50 mil as it’s a common practice for Lawyers to ask for outrageous amounts of money then get only a fraction. How much is a person’s life worth? If you live in the Boonies, maybe you can get distracted and not have an accident, but you can’t play that in NY, LA and most major cities. How would YOU feel if you lost your wife/husband because somebody was talking on their f*cking cell or putting on makeup?? Having to hear your kids sobbing everyday about what happened, to them 50mil ain’t enough.

Yahoo is damn lie!!!! She only got paid 80,000 per episode when it was current. If anything she getting paid less for reruns.

So since 50 million can’t bring the dead back to life, since NOTHING can bring the deceased woman back to life, I guess they shouldn’t ask for NOTHING? You people are hypocrits, yall would do the same if that was your momma or child, admit it.

PREACH CHANTE’!!!!!

How much do you think they would sue for if the person that caused the accident were not a celebrity?

Why should the people in the other car be sued? If it wasn’t for Brandy banging into the back end of the car it never would’ve been hit by the other car? The car that actually killed the woman should have no responsibility in this as if it wasn’t for Brandy that woman wouldn’t have been put in the path of the oncoming car.

I feel bad for Brandy, cuz not only did her actions cause someone to die, but now she will prolly have to cough up $50 million that she DOESN’T have. Yall know Brandy don’t got big big money like that. Where would she cough up that kind of money? That’s the part that really has me thinking….I wonder how this is all gonna pan out. I wish her the best.

from the pic i saw from da last blog she did look sorry they are askin 4 50million cos she a celeb SO!!!!! she hasnt been singing 4 a while so who knows how much money shes got now and no matter how much money the family want or get it aint gonna bring there loved one bak

$50 million could never bring their daughter back. It sickens me to always here a person reacting to a tragedy with, “Wheres the insurance money” or “Who can I sue”. Money is the root to all evil.

Ppl need to get back to reality, death can not b reversed and no amount off money should b able to sooth someones heart. The family is greedy for asking for that type of money. Its just bcuz a celebrity was involved.

@ #96 Matty Knowles the trant said..

Okay your logic is cool and all, but a lot of people on this post are NOT saying that Brandy should NOT be punished, we are saying that SUEING someone for $50 MILLION is a little SUSPECT. I live in California and drive towards the city (San Franciso) for work everyday on those CRAZY highways. Everyday is ALMOST an accident. And everyday I think to myself “if something happens to me, which person should my family go after (which means WHOOP their @ss then PROSECUTE) and who should be forgiven. The reckless drivers that speed up on your butt and you see cutting everybody off, if something should happen…PROSECUTE their @SS!! But if traffic suddenly stops, and someone can’t stop in time, then it was an ACCIDENT. I don’t CARE if Brandy is a CELEBRITY or NOT, but APPERENTLY those PEOPLE do. Which is WHY they are SUEING her for that CRAZY amount of money.

And for everyone that’s saying “you know good and well you would SUE for ALL that MONEY”…Please SPEAK for yourself, because i’m NOT that type of person.

50 mil is a lot just over an accident.Money can’t bring back a love one.Thats ridiculous.I don’t agree with 50 mil,1 mil yeah 50 mil is too much

and chante to answer your question…nope like janee said speak for yourself.it shows how much you need to grow up.and how you do all yall know how much brandy makes?

i believe its the attorneys taking advantage of the situation, regardless i hope the trial is fair no matter what celebrities got off before, a life was lost

If my mother was killed in a car accident by a celebrity, i would sue for the maximum amount too. It’s not about greed, it’s about punishment. That amount of money would hurt her more than a jail sentence( that probably wouldn’t get served) would. If she is truly sorry, she shouldn’t have a problem paying that. Most people who are rich and famous get a “Get out of jail free card”, because of their status and wealth. That’s not fair. You know if it were broke Raheem from down the street speeding, crashing, and killing someone, he’d be under the jail right now. How much monetary wealth would you put on a life? My life and the lives of my loved ones are Priceless. $50 million dollars compared to “priceless” is nothing. Also, what they want to give her ” $1000 fine (what is that going to do? I’m sorry I killed your mom. Here’s a $1000. WTF!) and max 1 yr. in jail’ is Nothing at all. She’s getting off easy in my opinion.

money might be the root of all evil but I say this it sure does make this whole world go around. There is no need to sugar coat nothing. If she had have been paying attention she would have never hit that person who had hit that lady. All of thiswould have never happened. And yeah I Would sue her ass too.Money won’t bring nobody back but it sure does help a situation. My father told me that when he leaves this earth he will leave me lots of money beacause it’s bad enough to be sad but why be sad and broke? When my mother lost her brother, money sure did help her somewhat, and when my aunt lost her husband money helped her alot also, beacuse these people are not never ever coming back they are no more.

I mean i feel for the family for loosing there child and all but FUCK FIDDY MILL shit they just tryin to come up off of an accident so with that said man fuck em, we on ya side Brandy or at least i am.

damn i feel sorry for brandy, i just hope that she strongly weathers out this tough storm. there ain’t no way in the world that 50 million dollars is going to ressurect the person who got killed, freakin money wanters.

This is rediculous. I mean I understand their loss but had this been a one of us that hit their loved one, we would get a damn ticket (at the most) and thats the end of it. IF in fact Brandy is proving to have been driving wrecklessly, then YES she should be charged and possibly sued. BUT $50 Million is obviously their way of saying WE HIT THE JACKPOT. I would sue if this was my family member too, if Brandy was driving wrecklessly. If not, the money will not bring the woman back, QUIT REACHING!!!

Yes, we all know this could have happened to anyone. Yes, we all know that Brandy is particularly being targeted because of her celebrity. However, Brandy did cause the accident.

I would venture to guess that this mess will settle out of court for some multi-million dollar amount- though far less than the trumped up 50 million they are asking for. It is in bad taste that the victim’s family sued so prematurely and that should be frowned upon. However, I am sure they had attorneys beating their doors down to represent them.

Paying some type of monetary settlement will be the easiest way for Brandy to say, “I am truly sorry for your loss.” However, she should not let this event define her life, she will move on and basically obliterate it.

You guys like I said befor think about if it was you on either side. Her guilt is enough! I hope none of you run in the back of noone and catch a chain reaction. Most of you probly don’t drive.

It sounds ridiculous to say that Brandy shouldn’t be sued or charged because “it was an accident”, especially in a case that resulted in death. Shit, I’ve seen people on the subway walk negligently with a damn cellphone and bump all type of people because they’re so overinterested in their conversation. If she was driving while on a cellphone (allegedly) she should be prosecuted.

My prayers go out to this family, but I’m so tired of these “if it was…” posts. Thank God it wasn’t our reletives!! Yes, I know this is gonna sound harsh, but stop it please. We are saying that 50 mil seems shady and that these people are reaching just a little too high.

The woman that died as a result of the accident had children that now need to be taken care of. Her parents are suing on behalf of her children. I don’t have a single problem with that. Irrespective of whether or not it was an accident and the fact that the money will not bring her back, those children still need to be supported until they are adults. (The legal term is “loss of consortium”)

They should get something, but I’m sure it will be much less than 50 million (which I doubt Brandy even has).

Someone’s child is gone because of Brandy’s recklessness. If that was Brandy’s daughter, you best believe monetary damages would be sought.

I don’t want to see Brandy go to jail, she does have a child and she was not under the influence, so I think she should try to settle for a much lower amount with the family.

she should be sued but not for that much. money can never compensate for a life taken so suing for all this money is pointless. and you can say that it’s going to the kids but i’m 18 and i don’t even think that my parents spent 50 mil on me if you add up school tuition, clothes, food, etc.. millions yes but 50?! too much if you ask me.

sorry for their loss though

@ 154 - ANGIE, thanks for keeping it real unlike others. All that Chanté speak for yourself, grow up blah blah is bullshit. ANGIE said what I’ve been saying all along, Celebrities hardly ever GO TO JAIL because of their status, you have to compensate somewhere. If a celebrity had killed your mother accidentally and had NO CHANCE of going to jail yall mean to tell me yall wouldn’t try to get as much money as possible? BULLSHIT!!!!! So your mother is killed and the negligence of the person who killed your mama stays unpunished, and like the great soul that you are, you forgive and move on? You don’t do NOTHING to punish the guilty party and at least compensate? These people aren’t CELEBRATING the death of their mother, wife and daughter by doing this, you people are really reaching, they are trying to find a LEGIT way to compensate.

I asked it before, since NOTHING can bring the woman back, should the family ask for “NOTHING”? No compensation no nothing? FUCK OUTTA HERE. Brandy didn’t do it PURPOSELY, BUT SHE DID IT!!!!!!!! These kids lost a mother, this man lost his wife, this mother lost her daughter, well guess what Brandy ain’t doing time, because she’s a star, so THEY DESERVE to BE TAKEN CARE OF!!! They KNOW they won’t get no 50 mill, their laywers advised them to start high to get as much as possible, that’s THE ONLY PUNISHMENT possible for a celebrity. Brandy, I feel for her, but she has to pay the price one way or another.

Brandy killed somebody. A MONTH AGO. She should be locked up for 5 years and sued for 20 million dollars. Why is this woman still driving? I love Brandy. I have all her albums except Full Moon. But i hate to see Celebrities always getting off the hook. Revoke her license and lock her up.

wow! i know she wishes johnny cochran was still alive. i hope she does get through this. we all poke fun at celebrities when they go through ish and all but this is some real ish. somebody lost their life and they can’t get that back. um um um. what was she doing? they claiming she might have been talking on her cell phone. but damn it must have been some heavy ish she was listening too. anyway check out my blog yall at http://theeyecandy.blogspot.com/

No ones saying they shouldnt get anything. What Im saying is the family should be interested in how she is criminally prosecuted first. If its proved that Brandy was the cause then sue but from what I gather there more interested in the money aspect.

Cosign with RNB 4 life

NOBODY IS SAYING THAT BRANDY SHOULDN’T HAVE TO PAY, JUST NOT 50 MILLION!!!!!!!!!!IT’S CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!! SHE NOT EVEN WORTH NEAR THAT AMOUNT!!!

1. It will settle out of court for WAY less than $50MM.

2. Attorneys love personal injury cases involving individuals with “deep pockets” (term we use in law school).

3. #103, this is NOT God’s way of bringing someone “down to earth”. Thats asinine and ignorant backwater religion — and judgmental.

I would ‘hope’ that God could be a little more creative that crushing a single mother on a crowded CA highway!

Man, I don’t know the details behind this. But apparently brandy wasn’t drunk or drugged up, just negligent in some way. And I KNOW she didn’t outright set out to hit anybody that day. $50 mill, regardless of whether she killed somebody or not, just seems EXTREME. The girl has worked hard her whole damn life to get that money; I can’t see how she should have it all just taken away over something like this. Yah, if it was my fam i’d want compensation too, but damn, they try’na ruin the girl.

Wendy Williams just said that Brandy was leaving the hotel after visiting with Quentin Richardson to reconcile their relationship. He doesn’t want to reconcile, so Brandy left very upset!!

Wow……..Laura Bush is about to divorce George Bush. she has moved out of the white house!!!!!!!

i mean i really dont think that makin her pay all that money is necessary because the only reason why the family is sueing that much is because she’s famous.Now i kno DAMN well jus as anybody else does that i wouldn’t have been like that if it was jus some normal non celeb on the street. She got money + it was an accident. I kno that the pple lost a love one and i feel ‘em, but $50 million…Please thats a lil too much.she goin go bankrupt.

#158 Boss Lady,
You damn skippy, I know someone personally who killed someone that was riding a bicycle and he had been drinking and driving he didn’t do a day in jail for it.

America’s laws are really weird to me. So your telling me if I kill someone in a car I only serve a year in prison and the maximum fine of $1,000. But if I sell cocaine to people I can get LIFE IN PRISON? WTF?

ACTUALLY MY SIS WAS ON THE PHONE TALKING TO HER BOYFRIEND AND RAN INTO THE BACK OF SOMEONE AND SHE HAD TO PAY $3500 AND DID 6 MONTHS IN JAIL…..

everyone wants to be a laywer. smh

She is going to have to pay something, regardless if the women died or not, people sue for everything now a days. I hit someone going at 5miles and hour and the jerk is trying to do the same to me. So its all about money and by her being a celeb too, she is really about to get hit UP!!

#16 Oh my GOD you are so ignorant, why would you even say something like that!!!!! Wow maybe your brain is too far apart to be an intelligent person!!!!!!!! STAY STRONG BRANDY…KEEP PRAYING…….

I think Brandy was on her Cell Phone, the number one cause of accidents!!

Brandy can also say “bye bye” to her license!!

Suga Buga, glad to see you take this as a joke…

@ #166 Chante’…

Okay are you done yet? If YOU would go after someone else, CELEB or NOT, for that much money over an accident then that is YOUR BUSUINESS. But people saying “Speak for yourself” is not BS…it means SPEAK FOR YOUR D@MN SELF! All this is HYPOTHETICAL, no one can imagine (unless you’ve went through this YOURSELF) what BRANDY is going through as well as the family.

I read someone say that the womans parents are SUEING for her kids, to make sure they are taken care of….$50 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH? They need $50 MILLION DOLLARS to be taken care of? Now that is what is BULLSH*T! If they sued for $5 million or even $10 million, i’d be like okay. But $50 MILLION is exactly what it sounds life…LUDACRIS and SUSPECT!

Exactly, Janee! Seems that the parents were just looking at meal ticket.

windtalker1313, im not talkin about the mother im just sayin anythin can happen to anyone and god isnt blind to stardom, back water religion is the purest in todays time we need some of that kinda religion cuz people seem like they just losing their fuckin minds these days, we need something to scare them into shape but thats just my opinion, like i said it’s lettin people kno anything can happen to anybody. thats it. end of story.

oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh plz CL posters…

its all quite simple actually….point blank is that the law is what is is and the trend is, the more you make, the more you need to compensate in the case that u fuck up….so the obvious solution is that when ur worth that type of $ DONT FUCK UP….or get caught….thats the disadvantage to being filthy rich folks….when u fall you fall hard! but you can always find refuge in the fact that the rest of your life is complete euphoria…….

This is a damn shame and only being done because she if famous. The whole thing is a tragedy but it was an accident.

Brandy is likely a victim of voodoo. Her career was going strong until she chose the wrong person to play the mother on Brandy.

The family of the woman killed in the accident only wanted Brandy charged with misdemeanor vehicular homicide because felony vehicular homicide was too harsh of a punishment. They are filing a wrongful death lawsuit against her. IMO they are justified in their decision to sue her, because if it was my family member regardless if it Brandy or not I would sue too.

She should get her licensed revoked for LIFE, pay for the woman’s child to get through life cuz you can’t bring a life back, no amount of money in the world will. Had it been anybody else yeah, they would have threw them in jail quick. Of course it was an accident but if she wasn’t intoxicated she had to have not been paying attention…65MPH come on now…

They are just after some money. The girl would not have made $50 million if she lived 50 more years. Get real and further more saying that she supported her 6 siblings, her parents, and her kids….PLEASE…… they are being greedy when they should be grieving!

OMG! How horrible.

$50 million?! They crazy as hell…$1 mil. is ridiculous! But i do send my condolences and I am continuing 2 pray Bran.

Brandy was invited by the womans husband to come to him privately to talk before he even got his lawyer, and she did’nt do it . She could have ended this with some kind of settlement then , but she did’nt go. So to me it seems as if she wants to pay for being so stupid , and not meeting with him. I would have jumped at the chance to make this legal stuff go away.
___________
That may be true, but this suit was filed by her parents, not her husband. Her husband or child is not included in this suit.

I hate to repeat what others said, but there’s damn near 200 comments… How can I not?

Brandy shouldn’t have to pay $1 million… They’re just doing this crap cuz she’s a celeb… I hope they work something out cuz it was indeed an accident, but #86 brought up a good point… Is the family money hungry or super duper influenced by the lawyers? Who knows?

Best of luck to all parties involved!

‘DUBAI HERE WE COME’ that’s the vvictim family thinking out loud. And they deserve every penny, plus Brandy should be locked up you crazy-two-way-eyed-fish-eyed-fool.

Regarding Brandys MONETARY assests.

Brandy has sold 35million worldwide, in albums and singles. Taken alot of Production and Writing credits from that aswell. Also has Produced and Written and Performed on many other ventures.

MOESHA brought Brandy $1.3 million a year, for six years. Then any re-runs she recieves royalties for, MOESHA is currently shown on SIX Channels in the USA alone. Also gets Re-Reuns Worldwide. Brandy also recieved a LARGE sum from The Parkers.

Brandys has had endorsments with DKNY, COVERGIRL, KANDIES, Ultima, UNCIEFF and others.

Brandy has had THREE of the Highest Rating Shows in American History ~(Cinderella, Double Platinum and Americas Got Talent)~ Brandy takes Production Credits from that also.

She has a Industry worth of between £35-$45 Million. Exlcuding Private Bonds ect.

——————————————
——————————————

This is exactly why Brandy has been hit with such a huge law suit. For so called ‘reckless’ driving, which has never been Offically Stated. Brandy has not been found to have driven ‘recklessly’ as of yet. They are trying to milk her assests and certain media outlets are trying to make a example of her.

Black People should be ashamed of themselves for abusing this girl so bad, when this situation shows blatant signs of Institutional Racism and Predujiscm. You need to pray for her and support her in this TRAJIC time. Noone has said Brandy wasnt at fault, she made a MISTAKE which has sadly, very sadly a bad reprecussion. But noone should be branded and lynched for a mistake.

^^ Had you read what I typed you’d see that I typed that they KNOW they wont get 50 mill, NOBODY in their right minds would THINK they could get 50 mill out of this, but they were advised by lawyers to put the amount HIGH to get as much as possible, they’re gonna get between 8 to 15 mill at best I believe. And whether they sue for 10 or 50 mill, that’s still a huge amount of money that they wouldn’t get if she wasn’t rich and that won’t BRING THE DEAD LADY BACK like yall were saying, so you’ve JUST showed that you’re OKAY with suing celebs for millions and so now I’m 99.9% SURE YOU WOULD do the same if you were in their shoes, Thanks for PROVING MY POINT that yall would do like them!

@163 the victim only had 1 child but I do agree the child should not want for anything thats only right.

I THINK MY GIRL BRANDY IS FINE SHE AINT GOING TO JAIL

You know what fuck all the dumb cunts who making those stupid comments who aint got nothing better to do with there life.. It was accident shoot accidents happen every day sometimes fatal ones they only wanna sue her for 50 millions dollars cause she famous shit that is pure greed and God dont like ugly justice always prevail in the end.. I feel sorry for the family aswell as for my girl B.. But that is ridiculous cause all that money aint gonna bring her back shoot..

well,im on the fence on this one because i know how i would feel if i were the child of this woman.thats pain that i cant relate to so i would want her to jail time but considering the fact that she was not intoxicated or high then she should not be punished such as a drunk or high person should be…

IT DOESN’T MATTER IF SHE WASN’T UNDER THE INFLUENCE…HER ASS WAS NEGLIGENT!!!

Why is it so hard to understand that?? Brandy not paying attention killed a woman. If she was aware of what was going on around her, this wouldn’t happened. The wreck is her fault and she does need to charged and compensate the family.

If this was someone ya’ll didn’t care two shits about, it would be a different tune.

so when the facts of the car wreck come out, are ya’ll still going to go on about how it wasn’t brandy’s fault?

they can sue her 4 all the money in the world, its not gon’ bring that dead woman back. I say just press charges against her and let the law deal with her.

pay up bitch

Get it right concreteloop, they are suing her for 75 million, 50 million Euros. Yes that is how far behind our currency has gotten.

It’s truly unbelievable how much hate and silliness is being directed at Brandy by the ignoramuses on this message board! IT WAS A CAR ACCIDENT! They happen all the time all over the world. It could happen to you! I’m not saying that she should get off without any punishment or consequences but I really don’t know how suing the poor girl is going to change or fix anything. Honestly, this will probably haunt Brandy until the day she dies - I can’t think of a worse punishment than knowing you killed another human being. Asking for 50 million dollars is a disgusting, offensive insult that totally negates any sympathy I had for the victim’s family - we can probably assume that this is the work of their greedy lawyers (don’t they realize how scummy and money-grubbing their clients look?) but what the hell is this world coming to when this ridiculousness is considered a serious legal claim?

oooh hush 184!! Glad you can take the time to type that out. Use that energy for something else!!

PAY THE MONEY WENCH……

” YOU KNOW YOU KNOW ME, YOU BLACK, YOU KNOW YOU KNOW ME!!”…..IN YOUR FACE HUZY, YOU WERE INTOXICATED, GOING 64 MPH, YOUR EYES ARE SO FAR APART MAYBE YOU DIDNT SEE THAT CAR.!!!!

PAY UP THE MONEY,AND DONT RUN FROM THE CAMERAS, YOU GOT PUNKED!!

Please sign the following petition in support of Brandy .

http://www.petitiononline.com/Zuzu/petition.html

are you serious? WHAT IS THAT GONNA DO?

I’m praying for everybody involved, this is crazy.I’m not suprised and I believe she should pay something NOT 50 million but something. I think it’s fair to ask for something at least funeral cost, and some money for the child that was left behind, his mother may have been saving up for college, now he/she is stuck with granparents that living of their social security ( if they been in the states long enough to get social security you know you have to at least work 40 courters or ten years) we don’t know what position that left them in. That women might have been there sole providor. Them asking for 50 mil has something to due with her being “Brandy” them file a suit is human nature. My prayers to all!

#212, That is just plain RIDICULOUS. Are you serious? A petition?

#187, I understand what you are saying. I respect it. I simply think that God does not use such events for anything.

211, shut your stupid ass up. How do ignorant people get on this site?

i wish these ppl would stop. Instead of leaving the scene, she admittted that she caused it. She didn’t just jet out like someone with no conscience. I still find it funny that we didn’t kno about it when it happened. The girl wasn’t drinkin or nuthin but if she was, pleez believe that if she WAS buzzed as shit, it woulda been all ova the news bad-naming her. Look @ all these Hollywood chicks that get away wit murder *not literally, u kno what i mean* and don’t spend not a day in jail or gotta pay nuthin’. And $50 million!!!!!——I know for sure that they ain’t gettin’ all that money. A fair judge would kno that someone put a bug in the ear of the victim’s family and now they just tryna get Brandy for all her $$$ just because. I bet they didn’t even kno who the hell B was…. Damn shame. I wish her all the best..

And since ignorant people take this as a joke and want to spit on Brandy, how about you take a good look at yourselves…

@ 200 CHANTE….

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! In your STATEMENT you haven’t proved a d@mn thing, at least when it comes to me. Because I said, if THEY..follow me now.. key word THEY, were trying to SUE BRANDY for $5 MILLION or even $10 MILLION (that’s STILL STREATCHING but now) then I don’t believe as many people would have a problem with that. It’s the $50 MILLION that people seem to have a PROBLEM with and NOT the FACT that they are SUEING. GOODNESS what part of that DON’T you PEOPLE understand? PLEASE do yourself a FAVOR and DON’T ASSUME what I would or would not do in that situation because you don’t know me. And I don’t feel the need to continue to hold on debates with people that somehow feel EMPOWERED just because they have the ability to sit and TALK SH*T behind a COMPUTER BOARD.

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”? But you’re missing the WHOLE point, why would you try to get as much MONEY out of somebody for something that was an ACCIDENT. I guess that is just the AMERICAN WAY. SMDH (shaking my D@MN head) You are just One-sided with your sh*t, not even looking at Brandy’s side, which is your right to do so. If you don’t agree with my comment, then more POWER to you. But I said what I said and I meant it…the END.

Can’t SAY anything on these posts without a D@MN ARGUMENT…SMH. LOL.

DAMN!!!!!!!!!! U SEE THAT CAR?!?!?!? HOW FAST WAS SHE GOING?
UMM HONESTLY IF WE HIT SOMEBODY THEY WOULDVE BEEN HAD OUR ASS IN JAIL REAL TALK!

Damn, this is crazy.

I don’t know how much Brandy is worth, but 50 mil sounds like they are trying to break her.

I really can’t comment b/c I don’t know exactly how Brandy was driving. Now this is only hypothetical: If Brandy was running from the papparazzi (I know I spelled it wrong) then she deserves whatever comes her way.

These entertainers really piss me off when they drive recklessly to avoid getting a PIC TAKEN! I know this isn’t the case with Brandy but accidents have happened with celebs and NO special treatment should be given.

Brandy is and always has been a sweet person. I believe she’ll be okay. Things will work out.

I got into an accident on the same freeway. A water bottle got stuck under my break and my car slammed into another car. Luckily, no one was seriously injured. My dad paid all the medical bills for the family and I thought everything was over. 2 months later I got served with papers. The people tried to sue my dad ( I was a minor)for $600,000 dollars!

My point is people are money hungry. An accident can happen to ANYONE at anytime. Of course the family should be compensated, but 50 mill is a lot of money! The family is definitely taking advantage of the situation.

hell she better sleep with donald trump and 50

Okay, I have only read a few comments and everybody seems to be pissed with the $ amount. I don’t think it’s about greed. They want her to suffer like they are suffering. Period.

I know if a family member of mine was severely injured/killed I would not have any mercy (at least initially). I guess I’m just a mean person but I would want to take EVERYTHING that person had. Not to become wealthy, but to BREAK the person. We all know that a, lets say 100,000 fine would not hurt Brandy. So wealthy ppl can be sued in civil suits.

If there was no gross negligence then Brandy should be shown mercy. The family of the deceased is just hurting immensely and is still in shock. Of course they don’t want mercy for Brandy. BOTH families should be prayed for.

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…

http://www.myspace.com/bringakback:
This guy was booted off of American Idol for making a mistake in his past. I mean he got the yes to go to Cali…but oh yea…poor Brandy. I know that case will not go anywhere because it is so obvious that are after her money. Accidents are accidents

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.

this 50mill shit is rediculous the accident was an month ago and b didnt speak to the parents after what she did ACCIDENTLy could you newayz a month later and some snake ass lawyer like a devil whispers in the famiies ear a get rich quick scheem and they listen that is why b shdnt pay unless she offers a resonable price

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!

GANGSTERPRINCESS, I already proved to his ass with facts and links that the vast majority of accident are caused by men cause women are naturally more CAUTIOUS. ROFLMAO!

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

^^^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.

oh okay i feel ya windstalker.

THE ACTOR THAT KILLED THE 17 YR OLD IS ON THE SHOW “PRISON BREAK”. HE WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING TO JAIL BECAUSE HIS BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL WAS OVER THE LEGAL LIMIT AND THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING DRINKING WITH A 17 YR OLD AND 2 15 YR OLDS. HE SUPPOSED;Y HAS A HIGH POWERED ATTORNEY NOW.

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!

@233 Gangsterprincess

first you sound maad ignorant. GangsterPrincess?shouldnt you be causing accidents doing drivebys or something?

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.

and you should be banned from opening your mouth….

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…

Miss Complexity..
I don’t support R Kelly either. He will get what he deserves in the next life. Undoubtedly…

I don’t even think she has 50 million dollars!!!

#233 I think 248 had it right, maybe you should go do a drive by! ha ha ha you stupid bitch. what kinda princess you know also a gangsta!!!

Greedy people will also get what they deserve….

um brandy can afford 50mill stupid 3multi platnum albums 3top rating tvmovies 2 blockbusters covergirl dkny and candies moesha 7years thats 50mill alone with just moesha she worked with whitney diana and gladys this girl is paid she aint oprah but u get my point really add up the points 50mil chump change but damn 50milllllllllllll what i can do with that and is a undercover producer and we know they make bank haaaaaaaaaaa 50 mill

if it was my family member killed in a car accident, i would take brandy to the bank, if i gotta suffer a loss, she would suffer one too. i would have her living at a homeless shelter when im done. I say this because she wasn’t drinking, she wasn’t on drugs, then what was she doing when she hit the car from behind?????

BRANDY COME BACK TO JESUS LEAVE THAT SCIENTOLOGY MESS ALONE!

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

Hi, there!..4b92e95810fb77b81548ec51a9a4bb73

[...] … Brandy Norwood was driving recklessly in the freeway when her car collided … Accidents happens and no one ever wants sum1 to die from a car accident. … Learn about here . . . [...]

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??

Brandy should go to jail for that, that women had a family who was expecting her to come home that day,if it where anybody else they would probably have life or be on death row just because she is famous shouldn’t mean a damn thing
