Brandy Pop singer Brandy is reaching out to her online critics, telling them to stop using the Internet to drag up very negative things about her past. Brandy is calling on the bitter bloggers to have respect for her feelings when they decided to dredge up details about her 2006 car accident, which resulted in the death of motorist Awatef Aboudihaj. The singer escaped criminal charges but was sued by the deceased woman's family. She settled with them in November, but is insisting that she's still struggling to put the incident behind her. And the negative 'tweets' and blogger's bits about the tragic accident aren't helping. On her blog, she writes, "Sometimes we don't read the comments because of what we've seen people say in the past about us. 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? "People just go too far. Way too far. But people are going to be who they are...

They are seeking $50 million in compensatory and punitive damages.If found guilty of criminal charges, Brandy faces a maximum sentence of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine, reports TMZ.com.

If the 'Moesha' star is charged and subsequently found guilty, the 27-year-old could face a year in jail.

Police recommended on Monday that singer-actress Brandy be charged with a single misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter for a fatal four-car crash triggered when her vehicle struck another car from behind.

The driver whose car Brandy rear-ended, Awatef Aboudihaj, 38, a married mother of one, was killed when her vehicle slammed into a third car, careened into the freeway's center divider and was hit broad-side by a fourth automobile.
