BRANDY - BRANDY'S MUM ACCUSES KARDASHIAN FAMILY OF CREDIT CARD FRAUD

The mother of R+B star BRANDY has accused socialite KIM KARDASHIAN of committing credit card fraud. Sonja Norwood filed a lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court on Monday (04Feb08) against the star, after Kardashian allegedly abused the use of a credit card given to her to make "one (and only one)" purchase on behalf of Norwood. However, Kardashian is accused of giving the American Express card to other members of her family, Khloe, Kourtney and Robert Jr. The three are alleged to have run up debts of $120,635 (GBP60,317) on the card in 2006 and 2007. The suit also claims thousands of dollars from the unauthorised payments were charged in the family's Dash and Smooch stores, reports TMZ.com. The Kardashian family have yet to comment on the case.
