2. How do you know the details of her wedding? Because a magazine or radio personality says it, does that make it true? Were you there? Did Brandy tell you who she did or didn't invite? And since you're the one that has been bashing Mrs. Norwood from the beginning about her involvement in Brandy's life, could you maybe see why she didn't invite her, IF that was the case? How all of a sudden is it a shame how she treats her "own damn mom"  when almost every post you've made thus far has been downing the same mother for being in her child's business?
I'm not asking these questions to be rude. I just wanted to give some examples of how petty these things are. Talking about someone's appearance is one thing (you can SEE FOR YOURSELF what they look like), but laying out what you HEARD about one's personal life and then criticizing and judging is another. You pose the question as to how family-oriented Brandy is. How 'bout this - How sisterly are we when we make assumptions like these?

Sweetie,
Ain't nobody hatin' on brandy. Talking about someone's appearance is just as petty, so how can that be put aside into another category. Petty is being petty. First of all I did not judge anyone. If you would've read what my reply was to, then , everyone would't be in physical education class, jumping to conclusions. As far as I'm concerned, my reply was to lil sunshine, and her thoughts on Brandy's maturity. DID YOU READ THAT???
lil-Sunshine
I read that article, and I think that she continues to stress the fact that she's a woman now b/c she needs people to believe it as well as herself. I also think that she still has lots and lots of soul searching to do before she can say that she's truly "found herself." Her provocative new look, IMO, is supposed to bring out the "woman" she's kept hiding for soooo long. Whatever!?!?! What she needs to do is stop trying to act like something she's not, and humble herself before she gets out of control with her immature attitude. Ooooops, my bad, she's already immature, and I don't think she'll humble herself until after she has her baby and realizes how hard motherhood really is!!!

Girl you are of the heezy on this topic.
My thoughts are, I wonder how long the marriage is going to last? Because isn't she only 22 or 23? I believe she is Waaaaaaaay to young for marriage, but what is done is done. I believe that she's just going through a phase, like we all did When we moved out of our parents house, and just KNEW WE WERE GROWN, BUT REALITY HIT, AFTER A GOOD MINUTE. SHE'S GOING TO SIMMER DOWN AFTER THE BABY COME, JUST WATCH, AND SEE. I think that if times start to get tough for her, she'll seek that advice, of other entertainer moms. But we ALLLLLLLL KNOW, MS NORWOOD, is GONE ALLLWAAAAYS WATCH HER GRAN-CHULLEN. and try to run their lives as well
"How 'bout this - How sisterly are we when we make assumptions like these?"
If that is the case then why weren't those assumptions asked to me in this way?
Strobelitehoney, Why do you think she's too young for marriage?? Or what does age have to do with it?, or what phase do you think she's going through. Why do you think things, will get tough?
Personally I think she's grown into quite a young lady. As far as her mother is concerned, If you have a child, or children, doesn't your mom, or their grandparents, take care of them when you are out handling business.????? So what is the difference
Where in the Heezy, Did i say I hated the girl, or I am hating on her??? Where in my post did I say, I hope her marriage doesn't last??? Not once have I commented on what i think the girls baby is gonna look like, but everyone else did. So what's the difference. Petty is Petty. It's just as gossipy as the next topic about brandy. So why is it, that I say something(when I really didn't), it's such a big stank? Is it because I'm a new member? or what. Because anyone who has posted on this topic, is just as guilty, for JUDGING, TALKING ABOUT, TRASHING HER,Gossiping, relaying messages from the radio personality, or magazine article too (otherwise, where would we get our info, because I doubt very seriously, Anyone of us know her pesonally). So don't get, HOLIER THAN THOU ON ME.
Have you READ the VIBE article??? I am not trying to change the subject. I'm bringing up points.
I don't know what others are thinking, But I know this, If I thought it ,someone else has thought it too. It's been said in my office where I work, and on the radio, casual conversation, and other BB's. So we are not always alone in our thinking. I don't speak for ANYONE else but myself. So instead of telling me not to speak for others, you should tell them not to put words in my mouth, or twist what i said, and then post it as if I said it. The same radio personality said, that she was pregnant, Did you see how in an uproar we all flew off the handle on that??
Now if i said, BRANDY IS TO YOUNG, AND NOT MATURE ENOUGH TO BE A MOM, AND ON TOP OF THAT I HOPE HER MARRIAGE FAILS, I CAN SEE, WHY EVERYONE SHOULD BE JUMPING ON MY CASE.
BUT IT'S NOT THE CASE, AND THOSE WORDS NEVER CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH.
And No, I don't think you were being rude.
You can find this article at Vibe.com. To clear up any confusion, It may have caused about brandy's mom, Not being INVITED TO THE WEDDING.
But now she admits to having secretly married Robert Smith, a 22-year-old producer from New Jersey. The two tied the knot in an extremely private ceremony last summer, and Brandy pulled a Janet Jackson keeping the nuptials on the low. "My mother was a little upset because she wanted to be there," says Brandy. "But we'll do a big wedding later." She gushes that her husband is "the best thing that's happened to her," but will reveal little else. When asked how they met, she just smiles and says, "I don't want to discuss the details, because we want our love to be between me and him." By all accounts, he's handsome, a dark-skinned brother who stands about 6'2". He produced a handful of tracks on Brandy's latest, including the remake of PM Dawn's "I'd Die Without You," a duet she sings with Ray J. Rodney Jerkins, who produced the bulk of Full Moon, and who is Smith's cousin, expressed concern over Brandy and Robert's decision to walk down the aisle. "I pray that everything works out for the best for them, but I don't know if they're truly in love," says Jerkins. "They say they're in love, but how do you really know a person in that short period of time?" (Brandy and Smith have known each other for a couple of years, but sources close to the singer are keeping mum about how long they were dating before the wedding.)
Brandy's mother, on the other hand, is gung ho about the union, even though she wasn't invited to the ceremony. "She's 23, but she's had experiences of women that are 35," Norwood says. "If she's found her soul mate, then great." Brandy herself is clear on the age issue. "People are going to say what they want to say, but I know what I feel," she says. "And when you deal with love, there is no time. There are no rules to love." So there. And if you'd like to know anything else about her mystery man, Brandy says, listen to her CD. "Everything you need to know about him is in the last four songs," she says, beaming.
