Somebody lying. Brandy's mama, Sonja Norwood, is suing her son, Ray J. ex-girlfriend and soft-porn co-star, Kim 'I don't need any money for a sex porn tape because my rich daddy left me enough to last a lifetime' Kardashian for racking up over $100,000 on her Am ex card in 2006, 2007. Kim says she didn't do it. But I'll bet dollars to donuts that she's lying. Norwood's first choice was to avoid suing the Kardashians for alleged credit card abuse, but, she says, they gave her no other choice. "I did not want to commence litigation against the Kardashian family without conducting an exhaustive investigation into the charges and discussing all options, including criminal prosecution, with my family," Norwood said in a statement Tuesday.
"After Ray J and Brandy urged me not to file criminal charges because of their prior friendship, I decided to afford the Kardashians an opportunity to resolve this matter without a lawsuit," Norwood said. "When the fraudulent charges were brought to their attention, they apologized profusely, and advised us, through their attorneys, that they would pay the debt in full. However, they have since reneged on that promise."

In the lawsuit, which names Kim Kardashian as well as siblings Khloe, Kourtney and Robert Jr., the R&B singer's mother claims she had only given authorization for one purchase in 2004 on the Norwood American Express card. Kim at the time was a stylist for Brandy, and Brandy's brother, Ray J, also appeared in the infamous sex tape with Kim. Norwood claims Kardashian made extra unauthorized purchases and passed on the credit card number to her siblings, who also made unauthorized purchases – including items bought at their two family-owned clothing stores, Dash and Smooch and "other stores that I have never visited to take advantage of me. I very much look forward to having the Kardashians account for their misconduct in a court of law," according to Norwood. The suit also claims in 2006, the Kardashian siblings amassed $62,793.83 in unauthorized charges. And, in 2007, they spent another $57,841.82 on the card, totaling $120,635.65.
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian has come forward to deny Norwood's allegations, telling People magazine that she and her family members made all of their purchases with Mrs. Norwood's permission. "We have her signature on all items," Kardashian told the magazine. Her spokesperson says, "The charges against the Kardashians are meritless. Both Kim and Khloe were employed by the Norwoods and never used their credit cards without their express authorisation. The Kardashian family looks forward to proving the absurdity of these claims in a court of law."
Sonja Norwood's lawsuit seeks the return of the money plus 10 percent interest.
