Brandy Says The Lie About Marriage Was The Downfall Of Her Career!!!

Brandy’s Behind The Music special will air next week aside from her rise to fame as a successful television actress and multi-platinum singer, she’s tackling some pretty pivotal points in her career. During the special, she will discuss the aftermath of the fatal car accident that she was involved in in 2006 as well as having to lie about being married to her daughter’s father, Robert Smith, to uphold her good girl image. In the commercial for the special, which airs next Wednesday (April 25), Brandy states, ‘The lie about being married was the fall of my career. Everything changed’.
To catch you up to speed, in 2003 Brandy announced that she was expecting her first child and that she had gotten married just the year before. She gave birth in June of that year and it was all documented in a reality series featuring Brandy and Robert titled, “Brandy: A Special Delivery”.
Years later, after they had announced their divorce, Brandy told a media outlet that she didn’t love Robert, so he went on the radio and dropped the bomb that they had never been married to begin with. Brandy, having to come clean, went on the Tyra Banks show and told her, ‘I felt the need to lie about it because at the time I was 23 years old, I had this good girl image, this role model image and I was taught that you should be married before you have a child. I felt the pressure of what people would think and disappointing little girls. I felt responsible because young girls looked up to me and I didn’t want to disappoint them. I was afraid. ”


Sidebar: Can I just say how disappointed I was when I found out that Brandy and Robert were never married. I watched every episode of ‘A Special delivery’ and they were pretty funny together but I will admit the chemistry was a tad off. I wrote it off as her being irritated because she was pregnant. LOL!
It’s crazy what some artists have to go through to uphold a certain image. We all make mistakes and you live, learn and move on.
This Behind the Music should be good.
