33. Kel, no money can replace a person or make someone feel better.
But it sure doesn't stop anyone from trying to get the big bucks.

35. very sad story. celebrities should not be allowed to drive. They think they are above everything. Why didn't she see all the traffic ahead of her had stopped? Cell phone, daydreaming, whatever it was her fault and she should be sued and pay for what she did.

36. Farrah is an Internet troll. An Internet troll post the most asinine crap possible to get a reaction. No person with an IQ above room temperature could believe the crap that Farrah post. In the immortal words of Dr. King, "N**** please".

37. I was opened to this being an accident, but then read more about it and she was wreckless and now she should pay for taking someones life...especially when you see pictures of her on Rodeo Drive..in another car and shopping like nothing ever happened. I agree SUE THE F*** OUT OF THIS BITCH and if anyone says that they wouldnt sue ....You are just plain LIARS!!!!!!!! I feel sorry for the family of the victim she killed!!!!!!!!!!! She also should be charged with wreckless driving as she was doing 65 in a 50 mile zone.....for you idiots defending her that means she was speeding!

40. HEY ANGEL!! ENOUGH OF THE NAME CALLING YOU ARE BEING VERY RACIST. SO, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STOP THE NAME . WE REALIZE THE FAMILIES ARE GOING THROUGH TOUGH TIMES. PUT YOURSELF IN THESE FAMILIES SHOES.

41. Ah, yes, but a study done shows the results that a person driving while using a cell phone has the reflexes (stopping, swerving, slowing down, etc.) of a 72-year-old driver (obviously _not_ using a cell phone). That's scary. That's why it ticks me off when I see people talking while driving.

42. Angela, EVERYONE in L.A. speeds! And trust me, until you drive that stretch of freeway you don't know how fast something can happen. The right 3 lanes are always slow or completely stopped and the left three lanes are going full tilt boogie. Then you get someone trying to cut in to the stopped lanes to get on the 101 even if it blocks a fast lane and they end up toast like Awatef Aboudihaj. Hey, it's a jungle out there! Not everyone can make it out alive!

43. I would too.... as most of us would. PLEASE.... let's be honest people. If a famous person struck and killed your mother or daughter... You wouldn't try to get as much s you could. PLEASE... You can't put a price on life and since Brandy took that life....this money can go for her children's life.

44. Wow! I'm suprised to see so much steam and hatred directed at one person. I hope everything works out for all parties involved. The thing that strikes me about this conversation and racial rhetoric that abounds with each post. For those expression positive thoughts and condolences, you are doing respect to the memory of the victim. For those demanding justice, you mock it with your comments and behavior. I pray that Brandy is held accountable and that there is some mercy shown. I also hope that she is responsible in dealing with the grieving family. Remember, there is a child involved here and I would hope that she moves to create a trust for the child and do whatever she can to make amend. Justice AND peace - prayerfully respect and fairness will prevail in this tragic situation.

45. kzqy-tv. I agree! Some people shouldn't be allowed to chew gum and drive. But sadly the law is with the talkers. And in L.A. you can hold a phone up to your ear until 07/2008.
