Please excuse me if I’m wrong but I believe its time celebrities realize that along with the fame, glamor, glitz and all that free ish they collect on a daily basis, they must be willing to accept that the world will be critical of them, especially when they screw up.  It comes with the territory and in my mind evens out in the end.  So I really can’t have to much sympathy for Brandy, who recently published a blog on VIBE.com entitled “The Blog Hate Goes Way Too Far” in which she begs viscous opinionated bloggers (who me?) to stop being critical and “having a lack of respect for her feeling.”

“People think that you being strong doesn’t mean things don’t hurt your feelings. That’s not what being strong means. I’m a very strong person, but some of those things that people say about me on blogs make me cry. I don’t like it. And what’s so frustrating is that I don’t get a chance to retaliate. Because y’all are not posting y’all pictures on the blogs. I can’t respond and I can’t be negative back because that’s just not me.”

First of all that doesn’t make much sense.  You can’t reply because “y’all” are not posting pictures but you can’t be negative because that’s not you? *BLANK STARE*  That aside, if  you’re crying because of comments people post on blogs you need to grow thicker skin.  On top of it, telling them how it affects you probably won’t help curtail the abuse especially as you’ve noted many of these malicious critics remain anonymous.  (That’s part of the reason I use my real name by the way.)

“Sometimes we don’t read the comments because of what we’ve seen people say in the past about us, “Brandy goes on to say speaking about her brother and friend Kelly Rowland.  “Okay, you don’t like my shoes, you don’t like my outfit, cool, but the rest of it, like bringing up the car accident?”

Brandy’s obviously making mention of her 2006 car accident in which she killed motorist, Awatef Aboudihaj.  I agree with Brandy here.  The car accident is off limits.  Not because I or anyone should care how she feels but because this innocent individual lost their life at the reckless hand of Brandy.  That’s something she should have to deal with just as any of us ordinary citizens would have to if put in a similar situation.

“If I was running the site, I wouldn’t post a bad picture of another person. I just wouldn’t do that. All to make money. For what reason? There are other ways that you can make money. Why do you have to do that at the expense of somebody else? And then the hard part about it is you take a picture of me, I don’t get a piece of that at all. It’s just weird. I just think people should have respect. We have feelings.”

Well there you have it ladies and gentlemen.  The entire reason behind Moesha’s gripe session…money.  Its cool for artists to make truckloads of cash at the expense of some hardworking schmuck who spent his or her last dime to cop that new Brandy album.  That’s cool but the moment someone flashes some less than flattering picture of her, or publishes a less than kind word she’s in tears.  The defenseless victim without means for voicing her own opinion.  I’m not buying it Moesha.  Time for a little pep talk from Frank and Dee.
