Former Moesha co-stars Brandy and Countess Vaughn have made amends after nearly two decades. In the April 1998 issue of VIBE, Brandy revealed in her cover story that she and Vaughn were not as close as their fictional characters Moesha and Kim would have one believe. The singer/actress revealed that Vaughn spewed some heated words her way.
“I think she’s very funny, very talented,” Brandy said. “I just feel like she wants to be in the position I’m in. People tell her, ‘You’re the reason why the show’s successful.’ And she’s told me that before. And she’s called me a b***h–to my face. She said, ‘I’m the reason why the show is successful, b***h.’ In front of a lot of people. And I looked at her like, Wow. I couldn’t say nothing about her because I wasn’t about to. She knows. She wakes up and looks at herself in the mirror and gets disgusted. I don’t.”
On Saturday (Dec. 19), however, Vaughn sang a new tune. In an open letter to Brandy on Instagram, the actress/Hollywood Divas star offered an apology for the negativity that transpired between them.
“At the end of the day I had to learn in find myself why not be friends when we’re both talented, Why call you names when your [sic] just an amazing person,” Vaughn wrote. “I’m proud of you for being you and working to rise to the best you inside of you.You are an amazing being with amazing God-given capacity.”
Brandy caught wind of the post, and accepted Vaughn’s apology, expressing a desire to start anew.
“I would love to start a new friendship with you with new heads on both of our shoulders. It will also be great to work together again. Without you, Moesha would not have lasted as long as it did.”
