The parents of Awatef Aboudihaj, filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Los Angeles
County Superior Court against Brandy just one day after police
recommended that she be charged with a misdemeanor count of vehicular manslaughter.
The three-page document claims that Aboudihaj”s death was caused by Brandy”s "reckless
driving" and it seeks $50 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

As previously reported, the California Highway Patrol found that the singer
was at fault in a fatal car crash on December 30, 2006 that killed Aboudihaj,
38, mother of one. Investigators have ruled out alcohol and drugs as factors
in the crash and say there was no evidence that Brandy, who was in the car alone,
was using a cell phone or was otherwise distracted.
