Comedian Thea Vidale, star of the 90s sitcom Thea claims that Brandy, who played her fictional daughter, as well as her real-life mother Sonja Norwood, brought attitudes to set. On her currently deleted Twitter account @MsTheaVidale, the actress expressed her feelings about the Full Moon singer. The revelation came after Vidale revealed she would be cheering for R&B singer Monica as she faced off against Brandy for a Verzuz song battle.
“Let’s go—I’m rooting for Monica!” she tweeted adding an emoji blowing a kiss and a promotional flyer for the digital event. After being questioned as to why her former sitcom daughter did not have her support, she shared her non-favorable experience with Brandy in the 90s.
“I’m tired of people coming at me sideways about Brandy,” she tweeted. “I never said she wasn’t talented. I do and will always fundamentally disagree with her and her mama’s disrespect while we worked together on my sitcom. And I stand by that sh-t !!”
As a call-in guest on The Morning Hustle, the Cinderella star addressed the comments made by her former co-star, claiming she was not treated well.
“I would just have to say that Thea didn’t really treat me the way I deserved to be treated. I was a child. I respected her and I loved being on her show,” Brandy said on the show. “I felt like that was the stepping stone to get to my music career. And I felt maybe, you know, she’s just a little bit bitter because I haven’t seen her do a lot since then. So maybe it was a way to get attention. And I just honestly believe that. She needs a little love right now,” she said.
While on the radio show, the actress also spoke on a reboot of her own 90s sitcom Moesha. She also responded to critiques of her fictional dad Frank’s parenting style as the original series streams on Netflix. The 41-year-old singer also shared the show may be returning with new episodes.

“You know what, I haven’t even been paying attention. I’ve just been so thankful that it’s on such a platform like Netflix and it’s been trending forever. I’m focusing on the possibility of us doing a reboot. ‘My dad’ can make up for all of that in the reboot.”
