Brandy Sued for $50 Million

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

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

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

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles City Attorney is considering the CHP's recommendation to criminally charge Brandy with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter.

61. yall are all a bunch a racist idiots.. and the N-word no matter how you type it should never be written/spoken or thought by anyone who isnt black. and Brandy had an accident oh well, the family of the dead lady shouldnt get 50 million cause money can replace a life

62. 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.

65. I wonder if all you racist loosers would be posting these comments if your pictures were posted along with your words. It is easy to hide behind your computer screens and say hateful things. Cowards...post your REAL NAMES..and where you are from if you are not embarrassed at all the trash that you are typing.

68. I am a personal injury attorney. Based on what is known, these people will never collect ANYWHERE near $50MM. They will settle for less than 1/10 of that. Print that!

69. Wow. It's amazing they found enough courage in the midst of their grief and heartache to sue for $50 MILLION. Are you kidding me? They have some sleazy, money hungry lawyer who was suspended by the California Bar in 2004 for not making child support payments. Great person to get as your advocate. And why the heck are the parents suing, shouldn't the husband sue? It's sad that all their daughter's life meant to these people is $$$$$.

Check out the sleazy lawyers bar record.

70. They should sue for money because Brandy should have to feel the same pain that the family felt, only in her wallet. Afterall, it is wrong to kill someone , even if its accidental, If the family wanted to get even , they could have taken the money used for filing and found a pretty good hitman.I would hope if they did it wouldnt be the same guy who did such a bang em up job on Fitty Scent!

71. OMG, this is insane...I feel terrible for the family that lost a life but accidents happen...I am sure everyone involved is devastated but suing for $50 mIllion dollars...I totally see a sue happy situation here...And only because randy is a celebrity they are going to try and get all they can...I feel that a fair settlement is deserved, but the amount is outrageous! No oridinary person would sue another ordinary person for that amount...To me, It's not right!

72. The sum of $50 million!!!!! Whether or not they will collect all is ridiculous. You mean to tell me this woman was worth ONLY $50 million to you. Ppl are priceless, the most and more sensible would have been to have Brandy pay for all things linked to that accident, and nothing more.

I believe dignity has left the room, and we're pricing ppl to benefit ourselves. And, yes, honestly, I would only ask for the costs of the damages to be paid, including funeral et. al. $50 million doesn't even come close to how much loved ones mean to me. How greedy, and how unfortunate.

More regard to the deceased please. As always, both parties are in my prayers.

73. I love it. The attorney in question was sanctioned for not making child support payments...and we say black people don't take care of their children. disgrace to our profession...

74. 19. LOL. They claim they are in mourning and want an apology but they have time to consult with an attorney before they even bury her? I feel no sympathy for them. F*cking foreign money grubbers. She drove a piece of sh*t and now the husband'll be in a tricked out Escalade with a beotch by his side before you can say Awatef Aboudihaj. And how DO you say that anyway???

MOURNING...YES BRANDY KILLED SOMEONE...WOULD YOU NOT MOURN IF SOMEONE YOU LOVE WAS KILLED BY A WRECKLESS DRIVER? SURE YOU WOULD IN A SECOND, AND IF YOU SAID NO..THEN YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER LYING SACK OF SH*T...YOU'D BE CALL JOCOBY AND MYERS FROM THE AMBULANCE...SO TAKE YOUR BACKWOODS SELF AND CRAWL UNDER THE ROCK THAT GAVE BIRTH TO YOU. AND ANOTHER THING YOU BIGOTED A**HOLE, AMERICA IS MADE UP OF FOREIGNERS...ARE YOU ILLITERATE.....OR JUST A PLAIN IGNORANT DOUCHEBAG! I SAY TAKE EVERY PENNY THAT BITCH HAS! IT DONT ADD UP TO 50 MILLION THO, SINCE HER CAREER IS BEING FLUSHED AS WE SPEAK...NEXT ROLL OF TOILET PAPER FOR ALL YOU THAT THINKS SHE SHOULD JUST WALK AWAY. WHEN YOU DRIVE...THERE IS RESPONSIBILITY THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT...LIKE OBEYING THE SPEED LIMIT!

75. $50 Million?....how disgusting!!!!!! Yes it's sad that someone was killed in this ACCIDENT but to try and get grossly rich off of it is just evil. I hope Brandy doesn't just roll over and allow herself to get raped my these idiots. It was a f***ing car accident. We have thousands a day here in LA. Sure some money is owed but $50 million is a crime and I hope her people donā%u20AC%u2122t stand for it.
