Celebrity Justice
Victim's Husband Sues Brandy Over Fatal Crash

BrandyTMZ has obtained a lawsuit filed by the husband of the woman killed in a car crash involving former "America's Got Talent" judge Brandy Norwood. It's the second lawsuit the singer is facing regarding the accident.

In the documents, filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Marquane Hdidou claims that Brandy and another motorist named Mallory Ham were "recklessly and carelessly ... traveling too fast for conditions and "following too closely" on the 405 Freeway, which factored into the collision that killed his wife, Awatef Aboudihaj on December 30.

As a result of his wife's death, Hdidou claims in the lawsuit that he has, "forever been deprived the support and maintenance, services, guidance, companionship, comfort, affection, solace, moral support, society, care, love, consortium and other benefits" from his wife.

Hdidou is suing for an undisclosed amount of financial relief to cover medical and funeral expenses, as well as legal costs and other damages.

Brandy is also facing a $50 million lawsuit filed by the victim's parents.

Reps for Brandy had no comment.

5.

This is really sad. I really think it was an accident. It wasn't like Brandi was drinking, like so many other celebrities (who get away with their antics over and over again). Still, she caused the accident. And the guy lost his wife. No one wins in this case.

7. My GOD!!! Just because she's a 'celebrity' these people want to clean her out!!! It was an accident!! Charge her!!! and forget about the lawsuits already !!!
These people who probably have no relationship with their spouse or child and want to turn around and act like their life cant go on whn the person dies make me sick!!! Cuz its alllll for the money

8. Would this man be suing if the person who hit and killed his wife were NOT a star? I'm sure that Brandy did not mean to cause someone's death via an accident. I am truly sorry for this family for their loss, but this could happen to any one of us.

Two words for this man..... Gold Digger!

9. The law suit the parents filed should be null and void. Yes they lost thier daughter but her income and future earnings were not their source of existing.

10. She deserves to pay every cent of each lawsuit. She doesn't have an excuse and its WORSE that she wasn't drunk or high. She killed that woman because she's stupid. Now her husband and children have to live with Brandy's dumbass mistake.

I hope someone she cares about is killed in the same fashion. The DA needs to press charges and send that ugly bitch to jail. I hope those girls inside mess her up!

11. I think it's sick people are that money hungry. That money will not bring his wife back. It just shows you where people will take it when the person has money (like Brandy does) - Say the same accident happened but it wasn't Brandy driving. Do you honestly think they would go after them for $50 MILLION dollars? Doubt it. These people need to have their time to grieve and respect the life that was lost, not hunt people down for money.

I'll keep you in my prayers Brandy.. keep your head up..

13. Seriously I agree with everyone. It was an accident. Was she somewhat negligent? Perhaps. I think that she should have to pay restitution, but that $50 mil is bull. What if I killed her? They would get my $100K policy limit and not much else. Greedy bastards. All the money in the world isn't going to bring her back. But apparently all they care about is the money.

14. he needs to suck this shit up and move on with is life. getting 50 mill from this isnt going to bring their daughter or wife back so why try to take someones money. your not hurting that person by taking thier money any way. brandy still probrably has much saved royalties and money from the albums she has made and still making money. soo if you sue what is it going to do? not a damn thing...

15. I carry auto insurance that covers personal injury up to $200,000. That's enough for an accident.

If there was drinking, drugs or negligence I think she should pay for the damage out of her own pocket. Again, just an accident.

What the point of being insured if losers like thisare allowed to make outrageous claims?
