Dead Woman's Hubby to Brandy: Stop It!

Posted Aug 16th 2007 1:42PM by TMZ Staff

Brandy The 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?

33. Leave her alone TMZ. She may be going to jail for a long time. She wasn't drunk and she isn't the person who even hit the car directly. BTW, who IS the person that actually hit that poor woman's car? Have they filed charges against him/her too? I really feel for Brandy, she lost her job because of this (AGT) and she's a single mother.

Don't get me wrong, I truly sumpathize for the woman who lost her life and her family. It was, however, an accident. This could happen to anyone driving. They didn't even say she was on her cell phone. The husband is understandably hurt and upset. But obviously Brandy is an easy target for his frustrations and he's being unreasonable when it comes to requesting she not go out.

34. She should go to jail, and her roomies should be Bubbette, and Sally plunger!

35. Al Sharpton should take the case up for the victims family. Oh well, maybe not

36. while i understand the guy must be upset, is Brandy supposed to cease to have a life? As long as she's not out drinking and driving there shouldn't be a problem.

37. why is brandy acting like that. mr. al sharpton. mmmmmmmm

38. She was NOT drunk. It's been 9 months. She has a right to live. People talk on thier phones and drive all the time, it doesnt' have anything to do with being a star. She showed remorse, she was heartbroken. She cried and greived and now if she doesnt stop, people will take that as an admission of guilt. She had and accident. Someone died, and it can't get any worse, but she still has to make a living. As I recall she wasn't boozing it up at the party either, she was just out trying to take her mind off what's been going on. I am sure, that several people this man knows have said "come on and lets go do something, go to dinner, take the kids out etc. you need to get your mind off of loosing your wife". If he did go out to try to take his mind off it, does that mean that he didn't love his life. Get over yourselves loosers.

39. First and foremost, alcohol was NOT a factor in the accident. That has been stated since day ONE. She's not an alcoholic. Second, why does she have to stay in the house? She had an accident. A BAD one, really bad and someone died. I don't discount that but she shouldn't have to stop living.She is an entertainer by trade, she needs to socialize in order to make a living. He won't be complaining about how she makes her money when he takes her money. She has every right to blow off a little steam, she hasn't been out publicly in over 9 months since the accident. He needs to stop trying to build sympathy. She has a right to live and its not like she is drinking and partying it up all the time. Geez.

40. Whatever this guy should stop browsing websites like TMZ while he is supposedly mourning!

BRANDI WASNT DRUNK WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPEND EITHER SO WHY SHOULD SHE GIVE UP ALCOHOL.. SOME OF YOU PPL ARE OF SUCH LIMITED BRAIN CAPACITY IT IS AMUSING

42. #25 I could not have said it better myself.

#29 you are an idiot. You consider Brandy's "partying" almost a year after the ACCIDENT to be so taboo, but it's no big deal if the woman's husband just wants to extort money to exploit his dead wife whom you so callously suggested that he hated???

43. How long should Brandy mourn someone she does not know? I am sure she thinks about it every day, I know I would. That doesn't mean she should ware a black veil for years and not leave her house. People die. When its you time to leave this life, then its time. The dead womans husband should get on with his and his kids lives. I am sure the deceaced would appreciate it more than anger tearing her family apart.

44. She said she was on her phone. This has caused many accidents, and yes, deaths.

45. 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 woman who survived the accident. A trial date has been set for January 28.

5. "HALLOWEEN"........is in October TMZ.

6. Her life is NOT his life; his grief is NOT her grief. He's just trying to get publicity by pissing and moaning. He needs to be quiet and TMZ needs to stop giving him coverage.

7. Brandy should be in jail. What about his kids?

Posted at 1:50PM on Aug 16th 2007 by mangey

8. Jesus it's been 8 months what is she supposed to do?? This guy is obviously just trying to get as much pubilicty for this so that Brandy has to pay out her ass in court. And all in the name of his dead wife. Nice.

9. Sorry but this dude is in the wrong! What is she supposed to do? Stay home for two years? She WAS NOT drinking when the accident happened - it was exactly that, an ACCIDENT! I feel bad for Brandy!!

10. If it were me, I would not be seen out having the time of my life for a looong while, like Rebecca gayheart after she killed that little boy 10 years ago, in fact i have just started seeing photos of her at movie premiers here recently so brandy should layoff the most photographed spots in hollywood because whatever pic they get, TMZ is gonna title it:
BRANDY HAVING THE TIME OF HER "LIFE" AT OPERA LAST NIGHT when she could have just been there for a business deal or a friends birthday.

Posted at 1:54PM on Aug 16th 2007 by I don't know

11. #4 Robert - Brandy was not drunk, nor did she have any alcohol in her system at the time of the accident. That has been proven already. Pay attention before you make false comments!

12. 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!!!!

Posted at 1:56PM on Aug 16th 2007 by BRANDYKILLED SOMEONE...

Okay the person I just copied and pasted above needs some SERIOUS ANGER MANAGEMENT classes! Loser! This was an accident! If Brandy was not a celebrity this would have been over with a long time ago. You should really watch what you say about KARMA - otherwise you are going to get in an accident and kill someone. Mark my words.
