BRANDY LYING ABOUT MY CAREER DOOMED IT!

Brandy Says Lying About Marriage Was the "Fall of My Career"

 On ABC News Radio reports

The singer was just a teenager when she released her first album, Brandy, later starring as the girl-next-door on her own television sitcom, Moesha.  In a clip from VH1's upcoming Behind the Music special, Brandy says that in public, "It was all about setting this perfect image." 

That perfect image was one that Brandy never felt she quite lived up to, a friend reveals in the Behind the Music sneak-peek.  Brandy's squeaky-clean persona was threatened when the 23-year-old revealed that she was pregnant. 

Along with the announcement that Brandy was having her first baby, she also introduced fans to the child's father, Robert Smith, whom she identified as her husband.  The relationship didn't work out however, and a year after Bran gave birth to her daughter, Sy'rai, she and Robert officially announced their separation. 

What fans didn't know, and what Robert later revealed, was that he and Brandy had never been legally married.  In her Behind the Music documentary, Brandy, admits, "The lie about being married was the fall of my career.  Everything changed."

Brandy, who's been working on her upcoming album Two Eleven, also discusses the fatal car crash that brought her serious legal trouble in 2006.  Her Behind the Music episode airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. E.S.T.

okay this is crazy but goodness, if she had shown she made a mistake there would be no need to lie about it. Everyone loves a story of someone falling down and getting back up again!
