Singer Brandy has just been ordered to pay up!
As you may recall, she was in a car crash in 2006, and the woman in the other vehicle, Awatef Aboudiha, passed away. Brandy’s Range Rover had struck the woman’s car on a freeway in Los Angeles, killing her.
No criminal charges were filed, but the children of the women will be seeing some money out of the deal. According to TMZ, L.A. County Superior Court has ordered that Awatef Aboudiha’s two children will each receive a $300,000 settlement.
The woman’s husband, Marouane Hdidou, who has yet to settle with Brandy, rejected his part of a $1.2 million settlement offer in February.
This is just sad on all sides, the family who lost their beloved wife and mother and for Brandy who is genuinely distraught over what happened.

I think that Brandy SHOULD pay up…
It’s a shame that this case lingered on so long. I can understand if Brandy felt that she wasn’t at fault AT ALL for the accident but from the news reports (which we don’t know are accurate), it seems that she should accept some blame for what occurred…

I’m actually surprised she didn’t have to pay more, but I guess less than a million dollars total covers a human life.
