Celebrity Justice
Dead Woman's Hubby to Brandy: Stop It!

BrandyThe widower of the woman who died in a car accident involving R&B singer Brandy Norwood is furious that Brandy is out partying it up while he's still mourning his wife's death.

TMZ spoke with the attorney for Awatef Aboudihaj's husband, Marquane Hdidou, outside of court today. He said his client is extremely angry that he sees pictures of Brandy out clubbing so soon after the crash, which took place last December. Perhaps he saw them here?

In court today, the judge allowed the four parties suing Brandy in civil court to combine their cases: Hdidou, his wife's two kids from a previous marriage, her parents, and Mallory Ham, the man who survived the accident. A trial date has been set for January 28.


As for the criminal case, the investigation is still ongoing and no charges have been filed. Why does it take eight months to investigate a car crash?

271. If she was not drinking or high or on her cell phone, then what excuse does she have for not noticing that traffic ahead of her had slowed down? NONE!!!

Hilton and Richie went to jail and they killed no one but Brandy deserves to go free???

272. I have one question: Who is this man to tell someone else how they should be grieving for a mistake they caused? I am not biased, I am not a fan of Brandy although I enjoy a few of her songs from back in the day but this all seems ludacris to me. I understand his hurt, his anger, his sadness, his mourning, but for him to be as ignorant and rude to impose his frustrations onto Brandy in the manner that he did is downright cowardly. He is the only and RIGHTFUL person that should be attempting to file any kind of civil case against her in the aftermath of this horrible tragedy. Her children, and her parents are DEAD WRONG. As a student studying the law profession I know firsthand that in a situation like this the only person allowed to file any kind of suit concerning monetary value belongs to the spouse. If there is no spouse, then and ONLY then can the children and/or parents of the deceased file for a wrongful death or negligence suit. This other person, Mallory Ham, he has no real reason to even attempt to take his ludacris claims to court. I am amazed a judge is even allowing these four creeps to combine their claims in this case. All of the people commenting, brandy supporters as well as the ones against her, you need to study law before you open your mouth to say anything. Yes, she can be sued for negligence because clearly this accident was a result of her being negligent in using her cell phone while driving. Although that is proven it is also proven that another car was the car that plowed into the deceased's car sending her into the intersection where she perished.

This accident is unfortunate, and yes the widower deserves his monetary support in the aide of funeral expenses as well as pain and suffering but the others I agree are being ridiculous and money hungry. It makes you wonder where the government is headed when our judicial system will halt sentencing criminal charges against Brandy but will allow civil suits to be filed against her for RIDICULOUS amounts of money. The fact that she is a celebrity means everything (her race has nothing to do with it) she has fame and notoriety which means a judge and this family can capitalize off this case and possibly even get a movie deal or something.

It's crazy how the Paris Hilton's, the Lindsay Lohan's, the Nicole Richie's and the Britney Spears' of the world, who are not only flashing their genitalia, endangering their own children, driving drunk, using narcotics and recieving repeat sentencing for the same mindless acts of reckless behavior, are walking the world freely, partying and whatnot yet they aren't receiving harsh comments like the one of this starlet who accidentally miscalculated the time between yapping on her phone (probably about the welfare of her young child, or her work) and pressing her brakes. Just seems unfair to me.

But what do I know, I'm just in my 3rd year of law school. Maybe I need another profession.

273. I'm sure she does think about the accident every night.

I'm not sure what this man wants her to do. Wear a hair shirt out every day? It was an accident , she was not able to stop the car in a timely manner, she wasn't drinking, she was distracted as thousands of drivers a year are when they have their car accidents.

It's not as though there are public service announcements she could be doing. All she can do now is say she's sorry and get on with her life.

I'm sorry for this man and his family and wish them the deepest condolences on his loss.

274. 11. If that was your loved one who was killed I know you wouldn't be saying those awful things about the husband! For God sakes Brandy had something to do with someone's death and you guys are on her side????WTF???? These kids lost their mother and brandy can't do anything else but party???? I'm sure the husband wants money... funerals aren't cheap either is raising a child on your own... BRANDY PAY UP!!!!!!!!!!! I really do hope she she gets what she deserves KARMA IS A BITCH BRANDY!!!!

The kids lost their step-mother not their biological mother. I don't think Brandy should be held responsible tor his children from another marriage. 2nd Marriage says alot about him. He's probably only getting every other weekend and you guys are all up in arms about another womans children. Those children are back with their mother during all this crap. The judge put the cases together so it won't be a massive payout. Split 4 ways and everyone gets the same. Parents don't have a right when a man is married. Not even life insurance policy unless the child named them on the policy. Parents go somewhere money hungry ass holes.

275. #11. What you think money is going to bring his wife back? If it was my husband, child, mother or love one that got killed "by accident". I would want to grieve in private. I wouldnt have time to concern myself with what Brandy is doing. She cant sit home just to make idiots like you talk your bull.....I wouldnt be sitting home either tearing myself apart over something I had no control over. Her husband should be more concern with his children and making sure they remember their mom. You need to get a life. Brandy can help take care of the funeral..He's a man..Suck it up and move on. Brandy is trying to put this behind her....

276. Brandy was not on her cell phone, at the time of the accident.

The "grieving husband" is the ex-husband of the deceased, and the kids are adults, who were not related by blood to the deceased.

The whole group of people, who are suing in this situation, including the Iranian attorney, are SCAMMERS!

277. Brandy didn't mean to kill that woman, who knew she would be in a car accident. HANG IN THERE BRANDY! we love you!

278. Becuz, Lohan, Spears, Richie and Hilton DID NOT KILL ANYONE!!!!! PAY attention on the road folks!

Posted at 9:55PM on Aug 22nd 2007 by kiki

279. WOW, most of you are morons. First off, just because alchohol was not involved does not mean it wasn't her fault. If some dumb bimbo that is too stupid to drive and talk at the same time hit and killed my wife (or mother) and then had the balls to go out partying all the time.....JEEEZUS. Let's just say a lawsuit would be the very least of her worries. Also, an accident is when you spill a drink on someone's outfit and ruin it....mowing down the mother of two children while yapping on the phone is a little more serious. Does that compute?????

280. One more thing...this is for 3rd year law student aaliyah. Yes, you do need a new profession. If after your third year of law school you are certain parents and children cannot be party to a wrongful death suit you're in for one hell of a time passing the bar. But heck, what do I know....I just graduated from law school AND passed the bar...maybe I need a new profession.....Oh no...wait....I'm actually pretty smart and you are a DONKEY.

281. Shall we at least CLEARLY and EXPRESSLY state the facts of the case? Was she INVOLVED in the accident or did she CAUSE the accident --as sentiments cannot properly flow without this clarification. If the latter is true then of course Brandy should use her better judgement and not been seen for a while, to help with his grieving. If the former, then of course the man is going to have to cope, he cannot tell her how to live her life esp. when now there is a class action lawsuit against her, don't these people have insurance? But whatever the case CLARITY, CLARITY, CLARITY is needed first. Be careful of those with the urge to punish.

282. Big Dutch,

If you really did just pass the bar, then you should focus on paying closer attention to the facts. It would greatly benefit your legal future to understand what you are talking about, before you speak.

Brandy was NOT ON HER CELL PHONE at the time of the accident.

The man who is suing is the dead woman's EX-HUSBAND.

The kids who are suing, are both adults, and are not even related to the dead Iranian woman. They are the EX-HUSBAND'S children from his first wife, not from the dead Iranian woman.

The entire Iranian clan, including the Iranian attorney, are scammers!

283. This is to Too many Persians in LA........If your facts are correct sir......DAMN, you got me good and you are correct.

284. #75 Have you ever lost someone? Does eight months equal a year to you? no you still have four months to go. And I realize that four months are four months to you but think about this. If you loved someone and they didnt come home would you be like its been a year I should start dating again...NO you probably would be counting the days and since the major holidays are coming up and you have had to experience birthdays, anniversaries, etc. without your love.
I can understand with this man. I have been in a car wreck and it took me 2 years for it to be over with. The man that hit me was not a celebrity. I got a letter from his insurance company that said sorry we are not responsible and then one that said well since you lawyered up we will help you. See it was not my fault and I got rear-ended by a u-haul truck.
Most people lack sympathy...I feel for this man. I think brandi should kiss her children goodbye for the moment deal with the charges and whatever comes her way. If she is guiltly. Since a article did say she was the reason this tragedy happened.
I have read some of the comments posting to this and you people that write things about the races of the victims....Have something wrong with you. Did your family come from another country? And at one time your country may have been considered a third world country. Show some empathy for the decease and their families. This is what is wrong with America we can bash anyone due to their moral fibers. What ever happened to compassion?
