Brandy fires back at the rumors that's been circulating about her Bible Study Brawl through her rep.
~~~
" *A spokesperson for Brandy called EUR's Lee Bailey to set the record straight about entertainment journalist Jawn Murray's report regarding Brandy and a Bible study brawl.

As previously reported, Murray told the Tom Joyner Morning Show that the R&B singer had just left a Scientology meeting before attending the class at First A.M.E. church in Los Angeles. According to Murray, Brandy was challenging some of the principles of Christianity, and a fight suddenly broke out after one question too many. And after chairs and curse words were thrown, Brandy and her crew were escorted out of the church.

According to Brandy's rep Courtney Barnes, "the whole middle portion of the story is bullsh*t." He says that the ruckus Murray referred to in his story involved a mentally-ill person at the church who had tried to cause trouble with "a person who had come in with Brandy."

Here is Barnes' account, verbatim, to Lee Bailey.


BARNES: Brandy did not come to the church from a Scientology meeting. She was invited to the church by a member of the church to attend a Bible study. She did so because she's very interested in religion. There was not a fight that broke out between Brandy and her friends. The Bible study went on as normal and there were questions being asked back and forth. The Bible study ended, and the person who was conducting the Bible study asked the congregation to bow their heads and pray. There was a mentally ill person who was in the back of the room where the Bible study was taking place. That person was seated next to a person who came to the Bible study with Brandy, but was not seated next to [Brandy]. That person was clearly-by all accounts, by the person who was seated there and all the people in the church-a mentally-ill person. And that person had an episode and he tried to basically cause a fight with the person who had come in with Brandy. The person who had come in with Brandy, recognizing that the person was mentally-ill, called upon the elders of the church to come and get this person under control. In the course of them doing so, a ruckus was caused. They ended up escorting that person out of the church. After that was over, they continued to pray. At that point, the session was over and everyone involved with the session left.

BAILEY: SO BRANDY WASN'T ESCORTED OUT AND ASKED TO LEAVE? No she wasn't even personally involved with the ruckus that occurred. It was a person who came in with her who was not seated near her. I guess that's where Jawn is getting this whole thing where a fight broke out between her friends.

HOW HAS THIS WHOLE THING AFFECTED BRANDY? She's not happy that this is the way the story is being reported. But over and above that, she wants the truth out there.

DOES BRANDY STUDY SCIENTOLOGY? No. She's taken some classes, but she has no formal relationship with Scientology. She was at First AME for a Bible study and she was invited by a member of the church."

I guess this rumor was serious enough for her to respond so quickly, huh?
