Brandy Moving To Florida - Starts 'SECURING' Her Assets - MediaTakeOut.com™ 2008


BRANDY MOVING TO FLORIDA - STARTS 'SECURING' HER ASSETS
 







November 02, 2007. R&B singer Brandy Norwood is actively preparing to defend against a wrongful death lawsuit. And the first step in that preparation appears to be to secure the home front. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that the popular singer is taking a series of steps to protect herself - just in case she loses to the deceased woman's family.

A person close to Brandy tells MediaTakeOut.com that the R&B singer has hired a new accountant - and his sole job it is to rearrange Brandy's assets. The insider tells, "She's extremely sorry about what happened, but she's not prepared to be bankrupted over it."

And that's not all. According to our source, Brandy is in the process of selling her Los Angeles home and purchasing a condo in Miami. The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com "Brandy is a California girl through and through. She would never leave Los Angeles unless she had to."

So why is she leaving California for Florida? Because Florida's homestead laws prohibit creditors from taking your home - no matter how much you owe.

    she can pay for the funeral expenses, but trying to take all of her money is not going to bring back the lady she accidentally killed!

    if it's all about the money for this family then brandy sure did do them a favor!

    If thats a recent pic I'm loving her hair & jacket. That's a hard case b/c if it was her car that indeed caused that womans death you don't really have any control when your in an accident. But on the other hand the womans family suffererd a great loss. Should she be held responsible for her death???

    accident or not, someone was killed. and at the same time no amount of money could take away that pain, or bring back that person. hope noone close to you ever gets killed in an accident.
     

    carrington
    NOBODY is a winner in this situation - a lady DIED and she still had a family; so while I don't believe that there is malicious intent on the part of the family as they sue her... I DO believe that had Brandy been a regular girl, she wouldn't be getting sued.

    It's the nature of the beast... if she was drunk or something I could see the furor, but it was really an accident from what I can tell.

    She's a mean ole' evil witch, she knows your business, she tells your business and then she'll cuss your azz out... but it's all about love... she's Miss Pearl

    I just did a search and found out they're suing for 50 MILLION!!! WTF??? I don't know about that.

    I think the lawyer that's representing the family is trying to make a name for himself by winning a huge civil suit against someone famous! If she was a regular Stephanie from San Diego, they wouldn't be suing for 50 MILLION!!
     

    bdsbabydoll
    She should have been trying to play hide the money, because everyone knew that civil suit was coming. I'm not saying she shouldn't pay for what she did, but you know good and well suing for 50 mil will not bring that woman back. People usually sue for what the deceased would have possibly made during their lifetime of employment, depending on what job they had.

    I feel sorry for the woman who was killed, but only in America can someone take everything you have behind an accident. That family act as if Brandy did it on purpose, she wasn't drinking or smoking, it was an accident, what that family needs to realize is that no amount of money is going to bring their loved one back, with that being said, it really does seem like it's all about the money! There is no principle!

    To Florida? It's nice down there, but then she's gonna be depressed because she's away from Family and friends. While partying, she'll have fun with a [EXPLETIVE] named Gilberto Rodriguez who will have pitty on her and offer some free help in the form of cocaine to 'ease' her pain! All the money will be all spent, and you will first see her on HBO's "taxi cab confessions" licking some dudes meatballs for $5, then she'll be on COPS running out a motel with old tight sweat pants and high healed shoes 3 sizes too big with a Newports Jacket/virginia slims cap to match.
    All this to save your assets? Pay the people 2 million and stay at home. Give em lifetime free concert tickets as an extra incentive. You ain't doing any shows no way! haha

    This was not intentional,this was a car accident any one of us could be in a car accident and someone can die , this girl is not an intentional killer.

    they probably can't take the house but they can probably put a lean on it if she ever tries to sell it. and how come she stopped making music. she needs to be killing the game again
     

    MadamLovely_1
    Brandy is doing what she needs to do to give her child a future. These folks do not deserve 50 mil if that is how much they are suing for. If she was sober, and stayed at the accident sight and paid for the funeral expenses, she has done more then enough. Leave brandy alone damn it

    this is very smart on her part. as a person who drives the 405 every day, i can sympathize with her situation and how crazy traffic can become in an instant. yes, i understand that the family is suffering a loss, but sometimes things really are just an accident. you can't kill somebody over that.

    NOW THAT'S SMART!!! Protect yourself Brandy. I could see if she was neglegent as in drinking/drugs and driving but she was sober as hell and the whole entire accident was unfortunate. I do agree that she has to take responsibility because she ultimately caused the crash but to be sued for $50 million is just plain vindictive. Even though you can't put a price on anyone's life Brandy does not deserve to be torn down financially. I think she should pay the family a substantial amount and do some jail time in a minimum security prison...sumthin' like a camp...that's all.

    Good for you, Brandy. I mean... why should she be sued over an accident? Her car insurance company, yes... but to hold her personally responsible for wrongful death? Doesn't seem fair. I hope she wins. I love Brandy.

    I can't believe what I am reading. Are all of you idiots supporting her serious? She killed someone's MOTHER and now she's trying to get away with not paying up. Bad enough she's not in jail. You idol worshipers are pathetic. BUT I have a funny feeling if she took your moms away you'd be ready to kill her yourself or are you that big of a fan?

    Nobody's worshipping an idol. I believe I said that what's right is to sue for the amount the person would have been expected to make in his/her entire lifetime. That's fair and equitable. It is only greed and vindictiveness to sue for 50 mil. If it were my mother involved, of course I'd be mad as hell. But I'd still know that the money could not bring her back. Not only does my family have to suffer, so does Brandy, because she would have psychological problems to deal with too.

    That's why you put all your s/h/i/t under a corporation so nobody can get to it. I would've been slowly transferring my stuff the night of the accident! NEVER EVER put stuff in your name, she should've retained Johnny Cochran before he died because a smart lawyer will save your a/s/s/. Forget screwing professional athletes with their dumb a/s/s/e/s, go after a really good attorney. OJ Simpson isn't as dumb as people think, he still has his football pension that pays him $25,000 per month, and that was before Johnny.

    YOU SOUND REAL STUPID. IF THE FAMILY WAS HERE LEGALLY THEN THEY CAN GO AFTER BRANDYS INSURANCE CARRIER. IF THE FAMILY WAS HERE ILLEGALLY THEN THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. BRANDY WORKED HARD FOR HER MONEY RIGHT BEFORE OUR VERY EYES... NO ONE GAVE HER ANYTHING!

    MY REGRETS GOES OUT TO THE DECEASED FAMILY BUT BRANDY DID PAY FOR HOSPITAL AND FUNERAL EXPENSES.
     

    BEAUTIFUL-ONE
    SINCE THIS FAMILY WANTS TO GET 'ALL LEGALLY' WITH BRANDY, MAYBE SHE SHOULD HIRE AN IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY AND AGRESSIVELY PURSUE THEIR LEGAL STATUS IN THIS COUNTRY AND FIGHT TO HAVE THEM DEPORTED.

    I THINK BRANDY'S FUNDS CAN SUSTAIN A LEGAL BATTLE TO HAVE THEM THOWN OUT OF THIS COUNTRY. I DON'T THINK THAT FAMILY HAS THE FINANCIAL STAMINA TO GO UP AGAINST BRANDY TO FIGHT THEIR LEGAL STATUS IN THIS COUNTRY!
     

    Dutchess1
    Wow ZEBRAHEAD, comments like yours will definitly come back to bite your azz. Just heartless.

    The fact remains, Brandy was speeding in an enviorment where all traffic around her had slowed. She was not paying attention while driving, either. Witnesses have attested to the aformentioned facts.

    Brandy has also pleaded the 5th ammendment until the case goes to trial. So we shall see...

    Brandy is cool. I like her but she looks a hot mess all the dang time! SHe needs a stylist. If Fantasia and Venus can look alright surely they can find a weave that can cover that forehead and make them eyes look half way normal!
     

    MzJSUFan
    The family DOES deserve some type of compensation for this accident. It could happen to anyone true enough, but most of the people I know, would be in jail by now, had they been involved in this accident. Reaching for something and not paying attention to the road, no, malicious intent was not present, like many have said, that could have been any one of us, but we should also think about the family. These people will NEVER see this woman again. Suing for 50 million is excessive to me, but I do think they should recoup some monetary compensation.

    Brandy is in no way a "z-lister"! She has paved the way for many and given us a sound that we always know it's her! I still love to hear all of her old songs. She is being a smart person by doing this and you can tell she is humble enough to accept the fact she messed up. I pray all works out well for her and the family is also compensated for this. Brandy...we are still with you girl!

    She was not intoxicated, she's not a coporation, so she will not go bankrupt over this. Brandy will be okay. The media is running wild again. She didn't murder(purposely set out to end someones life). She will be okay.

    All [EXPLETIVE] aside she killed someone. She killed a mother, a wife, a person, and the other person was NOT at fault. She needs to start singing to get some income to help that little boy who's growing up without a mother. I know the court of law isn't going to be kind to a rich black girl/lady, but she f*cked up and should have been looking where she was going. If she doesn't know how to drive then her non-driving azz should be on the bus damn...she killed someone let's not forget she could go to jail for manslaughter and that way she wouldn't have to worry about a few dollars leaving her damn, purse!

    @ sexykimmie

    Where's the proof that she [EXPLETIVE] up? I mean who says? Has she been ticketed? Has the DA charged her with something? Hell to the no bitch cause there was no proof of foul play. Shut your damn mouth, you are not an investigator and your ass was not on the scene. She was not charged with anything, and there's no [EXPLETIVE] proof of negligence. Is anyone suing the car that actually hit the woman? No, they are going after brandy for the money. And while you can feel for that family, and while they may be entitled to some funds, that woman would probably have never made that amount of money in 20 lifetimes, let alone one. Her husband is trying to turn this tragedy into a big payday and i aint with that. No one wants to hear your judgements and your day dreams of being a police officer or investigator, when you are probably in reality a [EXPLETIVE] secretary or janitor. Please stay in your lane dumb cow.

    I love Brandy, it was an accident. It's not like she hit the woman and left her to die.

    She took full responsibility and that's why I continue to like her.

    She didn't get on the road and plan to kill someone that day. She didn't intentonally murder someone. It was an accident and those happen, then live moves on.

I like Brandy and all but she should be in jail point blank she took somebodies life. Now that lady's kids has to grow up without a mommie and her husband now has to raise their kids alone. I admit all the money in the world is not going to bring this women back. But having some money will make you feel a little better!
