Brandy, who earned a Grammy in 1999, was sued for $50 million on Tuesday by the parents of a woman killed in a car accident for which Brandy has been held responsible.
The suit, filed by Ahmed Aboudihaj and Zohra Labridi, alleges ‘Brandy was driving recklessly’ when she struck their daughter.
The police found R&B singer Brandy Norwood at fault in December 30 accident or failing to prevent her Land Rover from hitting the car in front of her when traffic suddenly slowed, CHP spokesman Leland Tang said this week.
At the time of the accident, Aboudihaj was on her way to one of two waitress jobs she held, according to her widow, Hdidou Marouane, 32, an L.A. sales manager.
Investigators have ruled out alcohol and drugs as factors in the crash but found no evidence was found that brandy was using a cell phone or was otherwise diverted as she was alone in her car.
If charged and found guilty, Brandy, 27, faces up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Brandy’s spokeswoman, Kelly Mullens said,
The accident was a terrible tragedy and Brandy’s heart goes out to Awatef Aboudihaj’s family. But for legal reasons we cannot comment on this lawsuit.
