I dont think anyone really cared or ever really believed her after he put her on blast…

@ Katherine: I don’t think anyone cared before that.

Dam Brandy. Do you not know what kind of backward debauached community you come from? A community that sees no shame in a pregnant woman with no husband and is quite proud of it? If anything having a husband while pregnant would have been looked down upon by these vandals.

As a strong indepedent Black woman, I am ashamed that you pretended to have a husband while married. We as strong indepedent black women dont need a man and we certainly dont need a man to raise our kids. We can do it ourselves. Just make sure the governments keeps up with half the rent.

I swear If that FIVEhead get any bigger….Damn!!! She gonna need a hat on at all times.

I’d respect an un-wed mother more than a bold-faced liar any day.

You sound like you have some experience and are intelligent, but that may very well have been one of the most ignorant thoughts you allowed to materialize in written form. Don’t be silly; look at the black community as a whole. It’s true that some black women are very strong and do exactly what it is they have to do in order to raise their families, but if you think you don’t need a man to assist with child rearing you are sadly mistaken. Study after study has proven that when both a mother and father are involved, a child is statistically more likely to turn out to be a productive member of society. That isn’t something I made up and it isn’t a topic of debate; it’s fact. So, while you may not need a man to raise a child, that child most certainly needs the input of their father to have the best chances of being healthy, through and through. Look at the young ladies whose father’s have been absent and the rate at which they engage in risky behavior, or the self esteem issues they have. We don’t even have to talk about the little boys, because I trust you’ve heard, seen, and read enough about that to understand the effect. I just thought I’d take an opportunity to write directly to you, in a very non-threatening way. I hope you understand. Be cool.

i love brandy. been a fan from day one. in my opinion brandy or who ever was handling her career at the time is VERY smart. why possible ruin your reputation, put your hard earned money on the line and marry some one who if you marry you will most likely get divorce. case and point BRITANNY SPEARS! shout outs to BRANDY! do yo thang girl lol!

I have some respect for Brandy. Atleast she has some shame. Thats the problem with black females today, they have NO SHAME. No concept of honor or shame, everything they do is to be defended no matter how trife it is.

I knew it was fake, he acting shady on that t.v. show. I knew he wasn’t no good. Or her husband!

@justvisit,

I would like to introduce you to my friend Sarcasm. Sarcasm meet justvisitin. Justvisitin meet Sarcasm.

@ Kigali

Sarcasm, it’s been an absolute pleasure. Thank you so much for doing what you do so well.

justvisitin<—- cursing uncontrollably and mad that he was 1 up’d by sarcasm

Brandy should of just told the truth like Brittney little sister. It is no secret that Teenagers are sexually active. I am sure she is dealing with the consequences of being a single mother.

Raising a child alone is one of the hardest task that single mothers go through regardless of their financial status. Having a child with no father in the home is one of the hardest jobs in the world.

I co sign with BLAQ 100%. Look at Fantasia being a single mother from the south didn’t stop her from accomplishing her dreams. We are all humans who make errors. There is no such character as a picture perfect Moesha.

its not that deep….so she lied…we all have…she has a beautiful daughter now and has moved on

pple make mistakes, i respect Brandy, that is really brave to admit that she lied….

i guess she was afraid for her image, in the media

Man she ugly as hell

@chantal,

I am sorry sistah but it is 2008. These arent mistakes. These people are being intentionally reckless. How the hell do you accidentally get pregnant with so many different birth controls out there?

By the looks of it, for black females who are getting knocked up, these arent mistakes either but OUR culture. A very sad culture.

that’s why she should have gotten married before getting knocked up!!

@justvisitin

I definetly co sign with what you had to say it was very enlightning to read something meaningfull on here.

Brandy is so beautiful!! I love her. Such a big fan. Can’t wait for that album to drop. She’s the REAL QUEEN B. She always brings it with her albums!!

everyone makes mistakes. most of us are just lucky enough that the sh*t don’t get broadcast for millions of people to know.

rich is cool

fame…not so much

this has-been still has a career?

For you judgemental and negatively critical ass commentors on here talking about how you are “ashamed” at Brandy for coming clean about her marriage, need to take a long ass look in the mirrow and reflect back on your own damn life to see if you’ve always made a perfect decision. NOT!! In fact, hella not!!! Don’t try to sit your ass at a computer and past judgement on this young lady. Whatever deceits/lies she ever portrayed in the public eye, I’m sure she has brought it to the Good Lord (sorry God for my profanity) and He has forgiven her. And that’s the biggest and most importantant acceptance that man should be striving for, not from another so-called “strong, black women” or this fake ass society that we live in. Please!!!1

that’s life…sh*t happens. we all make mistakes. I hope she is in a good place now!

See this is why you don’t let folks all up in your bizness. It’s too late Brandy. I think she thinks she lost fans because she liedabout her marriage. I mean she already apologized for this so there is really no reason to do it again. I think she lost fans because her music was garbage.

she got a big ass muphakin head ,but doesn’t use it ,

Just want to say that Brandy KILLED someone.

OKAY, SO SHE LIED SO BE IT! NO ONE IS PERFECT AND HER ADMITTING TO IT SHOWS HOW SHES REAL.

SHES NOT THE FIRST AND SHES DEFINITELY NOT THE LAST.

AND WHO ARE YOU NO HAVING JOB GOON FACE MOFO’S SUPPOSED TO BE TO JUDGING HER.

NOBODY!

BRANDY IS A REAL TALENTED BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN AND I WISH HER THE BEST OF LUCK.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

NEW ALBUM “HUMAN” DROPS ON DECEMBER 9, 2008.

COP THAT! COP THAT!

she already told this story to Oprah or somebody -this is nothing to do…..

I didn’t even know that Brandy’s extra-terrestrial looking a$$ was still around making music. WHATEVER!!!

@ Kigali

Marriage before children is the ideal situation. But we do not live in an ideal world. I don’t know who you have spoken to that has given you the impression the American Black Woman do not want to be married and want to be single mothers have profoundly misled you. Children being born to unwed mothers have increase steadily in all races since 1990 the highest increases with hispanic women in their 20′s, secondly White women in their 40′s and actually the amount of black teenage pregnancies have decreased more than anyone else in the last 18 years. So it may be a societal issue were it is more accepted by all Americans to not be married when the child is born. More people are living together in lieu of being married. With the divorce rate at 60% many people are weary of marriage. 40% of all children born in the U.S. are born to unwed mothers 36% of those mothers are living with the childs father and plan to marry. Black men and women do not marry as much as other races. 65% of black households contain children of those 45% of them contain 2 parents. (Writing a grant, had to look up all of these statistics today:)) So I feel as though your interpretation the American black female is flawed (surprise surprise). Being ashamed of bringing life into this world is silly and unproductive. I personally advocate marriage before children, before sex even. If you choose not to wait, protect yourself, and if you end up a single parent through divorce or otherwise hold you head up high. That is the best lesson you can teach a child, never be ashamed of yourself, learn from your mistakes, and never let anyone make you feel small or inferior because you did not follow the norm. Peace and Blessing to all my sisters, especially the single mothers your have a harder job than the rest, but we are all responsible for the children.

one of the reasons I have so much respect for Mary J.

She has never lied about who she is or was. Hell, she even walks you thru her changes.

@ justvistin….

I got you right away.Some peopLE are just LittLE more dence, than others.

In the last part of your statement you said:

“Black women don’t need a man and we certainly dont need a man to raise our kids. We can do it ourselves.

Just make sure the (GOVERNMENT KEEPS UP WITH HALF THE RENT.) Meaning they can’t do it by themseLves after all.

To these so called (strong black women) I keep hearing about. Without a man to kick in that finacilal support, or Government heLP.

Or you happen to be Madonna, or Angelina Jolie whom both can purchase people to take care of thier kids.

You can not do it alone. so get off that (strong bLack woman) ish,

it is pLayed out, old, and a lie.

Hats off to you (justvistin) Scarcasim at its best, LOL …..ARTOWAR.

Now I see the probably she does not take good up front photos back up your heads to big

@ My Homegirl Kigali

Furthermore if she wasn’t using birth control she would have a hell of a lot more than one child.

To hell with Brandy!

Coming clean won’t bring her eyes closer together!!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

before it was announced that she and her “husband” were separating wasn’t there a report of her being pregnant with their 2nd child?

I love her music back then. Havent really heard or kept up with her since FULL MOON.

LOL@ joey bishop

My mom was married to my father when she had me that didnt stop my father from leaving though. He was there when I was growing up finacially but he was what I called a weekend dad. He always had his kids FRiday-sunday but i feel like my mom was a single parent b/c it was her who knew when i wasnt do right and her that took care of me in evey way possible dont get me wrong i love my daddy but my mom comes before anybody she had to sacrifice not him. The whole point is I came out just fine no kids before marriage never been to jail and neither have my other 7 siblings my mom only has 1 grandchild.

what the kids will do to stay in the news…. who cares!

@REALLY

you cant be going off they dont like that here you might get jumped.(lol)

@Flawdagurl—>>> thats a happy ending…i salute you and your fam.

@ART OF WAR,

justvisitin didnt say that, I said that. She was quoting me and didnt get that I was being sarcastic.

scary. We dont seem to respect women anymore. But its because we moralize too much. And we get demonized way to much.

At Kigali

Your statements stem from the greatest ingnorance. Having a child before marriage is not only a practice that happens in the African American community. From what I have read, unwed pregnancy births are up for all races, not just African Americans. Instead of singling out one group of people and directing the negativity towards them, you should address the masses. No one race is responsible for the rise in unwed pregnancies, we as a whole should take accountability.

brandy’s biggest mistakes was that she lied..

i agree with MIA1011, single mothers is something that occcurs in all races.

what about if a woman gets married, and then get a divorce… she’s back to being a single mother…

Ok she lied…who doesn’t? Publicly or not. It’s bad that she lied, but admirable that she wanted/wants to live up to being a role model. At least she’s admitting it now.

If anything, she can use her story to say don’t be this way. I think because we end up in situations with single parents or kids by more than one person, we say it’s okay when should say, I did it, but you should want better if that’s possible (but ‘ol boy aint give her much of a choice in the end, did he).

So many entertainers stupidly say “I’m not a role model” when the funny thing is you don’t get to choose if you are one or not. The people who follow or emulate you determine that.

Who is more busted Venus Williams or Brandi?

Yeah, those teeth are what’s really a problem here….damn, looks like she can bit an apple through a picket fence

We all make mistakes… Lets git it in… Peace Black People!!!!
