Again, it Sucks to be Brandy
The former Moesha star isn't smiling her trademark smile today. She's being sued -- for $50 million -- in a wrongful death suit stemming from her December car wreck.
You know that her insurance company will be dishing out the chunk of change, but I can't help but think ole Brandy isn't worth anywhere near $50 mil. Her last album didn't sell. I think her last movie was I Still Know What You Did Last Summer... in the '90s. And I so doubt that America's Got Talent put her into the Olsen income bracket.
I bet she's hawking her swag on eBay as I type... or planning a Tori Spelling type tag sale.




How utterly predictable.
On the contrary, I think that's exactly how much she's worth and that's why this lawsuit will wipe her out :( Since there were no drugs or alcohol involved, it really does suck to be Brandy right now.
I agree with GFD. I doubt she had $50 million worth of auto insurance. I feel terribly for her. This is the sort of thing that could have happened to anyone.
i really think they are being to hard on her usually im the first to say celebs get off easy but in this case its almost like because she is a celeb they are chewing her up and spitting her out i mean there were not drugs or alcohol and she wasnt on the phone or anything it really was just an accident and reports say she was very distressed at the scene, while i am aware someone did lose a life i really do think they are hitting brandy a little to hard; almost like they are making an example of her. I feel really bad for her and hope she will be ok as well as express condolences to the victims family.
The lawyers are the winners in this case. Accidents happen.
Yes, I used to be a big fan of Brandy's and I think what happened is so sad and unfortunate. I think it truely was an accident, and I just pray that Brandy will see this as a huge eye opener and rededicate her life back to Christ. I know Brandy's mom managed her money pretty well, but I doubt if she'll have anything after paying a $50m lawsuit. Sheesh. What a sticky situation to be in. My God.
Girl, open a Swiss bank account. Hide that money.
Who cares about brandy mabye now she'll pay more attention while driving. Cars are not toys they can kill people!
Accidents happen. You could be an extremely careful driver and still have this happen to you. I hope things work out for her.
Yes this is sad, i mean that is ridiculous, its dumb cause this stuff happens all the time and no one gets sued for 50 MILLION??? Its only because she is a celeb and the victims family is only seeing green out of all this, they know she didn't mean to, but all they care about is MONEY.
Can 50mil bring back the victim? oh know!! These people are suing that girl because she is a celebrity. They are so terrible if she was under the influence of anything i would have said justified but these people have no moral its just money money money and these lawyers are disgusting too!

$50 million is the opening salvo. The suit will be negotiated and probably settled out of court--probably end figure will be in $5mil-$10mil range. After all, Brandy WAS at fault and these people lost their daughter. Why should Brandy get a free pass?
Yes, everyone seems to forget "she killed someone". Who cares if it was an accident? The punishment has to fit the crime. If they sued her for $50,000 she wouldn't even blink at it. Now sue her for $50mil and I bet she understands the impact of her actions.
She can feel as bad as she wants at least she is alive to feel something. Where as another young woman is dead. If she was a stand up person she would have offered to pay all funeral expenses and donated some amount of money to the charity of the families choice or set up a trust for the motherless child.
She was at fault, but that doesn't mean she was negligent. It's not a free pass when someone doesn't pay for the results of their non-negligent actions.
From the info that has been released on the accident, we don't know enough about what happened to say if she was negligent or not. Too soon to judge.
Great! Hope they sue the crap out of her. She was driving recklessly, according to some witnesses. AND she killed someone.
See... now I had asked this yesterday... I don't think it is right, but it was bound to happen. When Famous and Rich people accidently do anything to anyone, they WILL be sued
It's all about the money when it's said and done.......
If she was driving reckless (which is what I heard today) then she should be punished. But we need to get all the facts first.
She probably won't have to pay $50 mil. She will pay a bundle though. Many factors go into play. Any offspring that need to be supported. Anticipated annual salary for years to come etc.And anyone else who is impacted as a result of this person's death. Not to mention the loss of life itself.
Okay, this is a sad situation on both ends of the fence. A lady has lost her life, but sueing Brandy for $50 million is not going to bring that lady back. These people are after money at the end of the day. Brandy will be okay in the end, and hopefully the family can somehow manage to move on. For those saying that she was driving reckless, where are you getting that from. The speed limit was 60 and she was going 65 (we all do that). She was not under the influence of anything, and there is no evidence that she was on a cell phone, it was just a pure unfornate accident. My prayers go out to the family who lost their loved one, and to Brandy.

accidents happen everyday...those that are saying she should be sued for the accident, the same thing might happen to you today or tomorrow... y'all think she got out of her house that day thinking she's gonna drive recklessly and kill someone? NO! We don't do that, but that doesn't mean it can't happen.
It was a accident. 50 million dollar is a lot of money. I don't have that kind of money. What would they get from me? Not a penny. And the life would still be gone. I feel very sorry for the family but the money is not going to bring her back. Brandy is going to have to deal with this for the rest of her life.As for Budsmasher, people like you never make a mistake. I would like to no how about you being in Brandy shoes.Or someone in your family
better her than me. next time watch what your doing a women is dead here,all she has to do is pay the lawsuit that womens husband has to pay his respects to his dead wife..
Brandy is starting to look like Whoopie {gag} a little work would have done her good as just look at that picture.
She best get it done before she looses that 50 mill.
We need MORE laws that make it a crime to text while driving. More states are making it a crime to talk on a cell phone without hands free devices. GOOD
Maybe they can call the new law the Brandy Bill??
first off, you can't put a price on a life and to be perfectly honest she should be sued for every cent she has b/c she is the cause of someone's death. Second yes 50 mill is a lot to sue for, however lawyers always go for an amt that is completely higher than what they will actually receive. They start high and meet in the middle. But for those out there who think that it is distateful to "profit" from their daughter's death, well did anyone think that maybe the money is going to her children, that Brandy just left motherless, that maybe the money will go into a trust fund for them? Come on she deserves this
ohteg, your post is pointless..as she was not on the phone. Read before you post. madtowngirl, $50 mil is ridiculous to ask for, the woman was not drunk or high, it was an accident. Should a normal person be sued $2 million because of an accident? I don't think so..so why should BRandy be sued $50 million? Honestly, she should be punished..definitely. $50 million is drastic, especially when she is going to be fined by authorities and face potential jail time. To really get over the grief of the daughter, they have to forgive. People forgive MURDERS that had specific intent to murder, and rapists..why can't they be regular people and forgive Brandy, and be compensated without putting Brandy up on the cross?
If she was at fault she should be punished, if not accidents can happen.
Does anyone know why the traffic slow down in the first place? Who really cause this accident? Are they making an example out of her because of the name and the COLOR? Should she be the one charged? IT WAS AN A C C I D E N T !!!
She is hurting enough and being a prisoner of the mind for the rest of your life is far worst than you could ever know.....
I love people like you'll, that dont think that Brady has money. To start off eveytime the show moesha reairs she gets any where b/w 5-10,000 dollaras, and the show come one like 3 times a day, plus with all the cd's that she has sold any where b/w 35-40 million sold ww, come on you know that she made about 50-60 millon of her cd's, plus she is a model, has her on hair line, the tour that she went on in 1998 she made over 82 million dollars off of it, I'm sure that she made about 5-10 million off of America got Talent why i say this is simon, randy, and paula all make like 30-40 million off of there show each season. So let's all before real you know that she has a good 100 million. Plus the people that are suing her may ask for 50 million but they want get. I talk to a police and he said that all she is going to get is a fine, probation, and pay for the accident. So the people will be lucky to get 5 million. So if you look at it by the time that every thing is over she would be out about 10-20 million if that.
Money can be remade. Brandy can put out another album or a couple more and make up the difference.
But that little boy has lost his mother FOREVER and a husband has lost his wife. I think Brandy is getting off pretty well for what I would call vehicular manslaughter.
