46. This is a tradgety for both families. One family lost a loved one. On the other hand Brandy has to go to live with this, also. I'm not one to judge. It's a sad situation for both parties. May things work out for the best.

48. you can bet your ass if that was you or I in that shituation, charges would have been issued on the spot. No kudos to the Civil Right Group for backing her up. Celebrities should be treated no differently. I mean, for God sakes, she was in a Land Rover, how does she not see traffic coming to a halt? speeding? putting on makeup? cellphone? watching a video on her console? whatever the case is, she is getting of lightly with only a misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. Also, condolences through her publicist, What a joke. Hope the family sues until shes broke.

50. *chanting*: CELL PHONE..... CELL PHONE..... CELL PHONE..... CELL PHONE..... CELL PHONE..... CELL PHONE..... CELL PHONE..... CELL PHONE.....

_Who_ wants to bet she was on her cell phone when it caused the accident? _If_ this is the case, I say we make a Federal Case out of Brandy ("Don't Call My Norwood") Norwood. Right, guys?

52. Brandy will be charged with involentary manslaughter. She did kill someone. Her insurance will pay for it if she has enought to insurance to cover (most people in her wealth range do). She is being sued, not because she is black, but because she killed someone's family member! It is not a racial thing! She didn't see those cars and say "Hey, I wonder if I can hit a middle-easterner!" She didn't see the cars slowing and caused a death. Regardless of race, if someone killed your aunt, sister, cousin, or other family member, you would sue, too! and Farrah, I think you misspelled when you wrote you'd never stop your fight "against" racism! Should that not have been "for" racism, as yours was the most racist submission yet!

53. I will not lower myself and comment on the racist remarks that are thrown upon me. It is obvious that I have struck a nerve and it hurts. It is my mission to educate those who have hate in there hearts. RACISM must be stopped in this country and the African Americans need justice for the past atrocities made against us. We will not be silenced by the RACIST, CRACKER, BIGOTS, oh no. I will never give up my fight against RACISM! NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!!!

54. 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.

55. Sarah, everyone knows stars have zillions. When a regular person hits you you don't think BIG like this family probably is! It's gonna be a big ol payday!!Great, now I wish I where related to them somehow.

56. 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".

57. Farrah, You have got to be kidding us!!! brandy has already admitted that it was her fault. She was going too fast and probably distracted (that we haven't heard about yet). It is NORMAL for a family to file a wrongful death suit.

Hells bells, it isn't going to bring their family member back, but Brandy was in the wrong here..... she has said it herself.

Geeze, she will probably only have to pay $1,000.00 so very little for such a big loss to some family that you probably wouldn't care to know, because they have a Middle Eastern type name. For shame on you....Shame, Shame, Shame. You are the bigot.

You really sound like a racist of the worst kind.

To Angela, I think you took (PayUp's) post wrong. She is saying the same thing you are!. She will have to pay because she accidentally killed a human being. Look at posts a little more carefully before you accuse others.

I don't know Brandy personally, but she has seemed like a nice enough girl all of the years I've known about her. She actually seems to be the kind that Cares About Others, Unlike A Whole Lot Of Bigots On This Site.

And you want to know something??? I'll just bet that those of you who would have lost their sister or mother would be THE FIRST TO BE SUEING BRANDY, if it had happened to YOUR FAMILY.

Geeze, There sure are a lot of uncareing and unfeeling people on these gossip blogs. Disgusting.

58. 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.

59. 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!

60. Sue Brandy, she killed plain and simple! Myself $50 million WOW how do people come up with this figure! the main point is someone died, she will be in jail that is if she doesn't get any "special treatment" for being a "celebrity"

As for Farrah and his dumbass comments on "poor ass Arabs" and "Jew" comment (sorry forgot the words) but come on buddy, you want to "fight racism" and here you are spouting it off.. VERY I do not care who u are in racsit in 1 way or another.
