After a report that she had been hospitalized this morning “after suffering an apparent seizure,” Grammy-winning singer-actress Brandy took to social media to reassure fans.
“I am following doctors’ orders and getting the rest I need due to dehydration and low amounts of nutrition,” she wrote.
TMZ reported that an EMS call went out to law enforcement about noon today. Her social media post came not long after that. The outlet said she is in the hospital and that the 43-year-old former Moesha star’s parents are there with her.
In 2020, the singer opened up about mental health struggles she had after she was involved in a car accident that claimed a woman’s life, saying caring for her daughter, Sy’rai, is what pulled her through.
Here is her full message:
“To my beloved fam, friends, and starz thank you for sending love and light my way. I am following doctors’ orders and getting the rest I need due to dehydration and low amounts of nutrition. Thank you for your prayers and support. Grateful for you all, see you soon.”

“If u saw me kick a guys ass after the show last night, I am sorry,” wrote comedian Kim Congdon on Twitter this weekend. “He sexually assaulted me after my set (and bragged about it on his way out), ruining an otherwise perfect night for me.”
Congdon — whose credits include Impractical Jokers, Stoned Science, Broad Topics on YouTube as well as her This Bitch podcast and appearances on big-name podcasts such as The Joe Rogan Experience and Kill Tony — was opening for Joey Diaz at Sony Hall in New York when, she stated, the incident took place.
“I had left my phone on a tripod near the sound booth and went to get it” after her set, Congdon said. That took her through the crowd. “The guy must have been walking back from the bathroom or something.”
While she did not originally describe the incident in detail, after a number of doubting replies from trolls on Twitter, Congdon made herself very clear.
“I can’t believe I have to say this,” she wrote, “but I would not tweet or make a fuss about someone grazing me by accident. I’m not out to get or accuse anyone. This man poked me in my vagina twice essentially trying to ‘finger me’ through leggings when I walked by” with her back to him.
“When it happened I was already walking the other way. When I turned around he literally pretended like he was blind.”
The incident occurred, she said, “Right when Joey [Diaz] was getting onstage and a lot of people were cheering and then the lights went down.” She lost track of the man in the darkness, but venue officials tracked him down.
“After they found him, I went and ID’d him,” said the comedian. And then they made him leave.
She wrote on Twitter, “He didn’t care he was being kicked out cause he said ‘at least I got to touch Kim’s p*ssy.’ “
Congdon noted that “this happened on the same night they threw the beer at that girl,” Ariel Elias, at a comedy club in nearby New Jersey.
These are just the latest in a spate of attacks on comedians as they perform, beginning with Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, then Dave Chappelle being physically assaulted at the Hollywood Bowl, T.I. storming the stage in Atlanta and grabbing the mic away from a comedian poking fun at him and standup comic Sampson McCormick being slugged by an audience member during his show at the Win-River Resort & Casino in Redding.
“It’s really bad,” said Congdon this evening. “I’ve been doing comedy for 10 years and I’ve dealt with stalkers and all kinds of things. Unfortunately, this happened and my next thought was ‘This probably won’t be the last time.’ “

There’s only one coach we call “Prime Time,” and there’s only one series like this. Coach Prime is a four-episode docuseries that takes viewers inside Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders’ Jackson State University football program, which is shaking up the entire college football landscape. Episodes will premiere in December exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
The series follows the JSU Tigers at practice and games, in the locker room, off the field, and in the community, amid the team’s quest for an HBCU National Championship during a season unlike any other. This season’s unforgettable and inspiring journey includes “Coach Prime” welcoming the nation’s top recruit, Travis Hunter, to Jackson State, and the team’s exciting performances on gameday. It features a range of celebrity guests who educate and inspire, and explores how the team and community dealt with a citywide water crisis, all while also changing the lives of young men and women in dramatic ways. It will also focus on Sanders’ broader mission to level the playing field in college sports by raising awareness for HBCUs. Coach Prime will showcase the football program’s impact on the community, demonstrate leadership and learning, and make viewers feel the energy and significance of HBCUs – and their impact on a changing world.
“We’re excited to welcome Coach Prime to the Prime Video family,” said Marie Donoghue, VP, global sports video, Amazon. “Deion Sanders is such an inspiring leader, both on and off the field, and we look forward to taking fans inside Coach Prime’s world as the exciting season unfolds at Jackson State University.”
“When Coach Prime began his job at Jackson State, the biggest challenge and the brightest opportunity facing us was to collectively shine a light on HBCUs and break down barriers faced by these culturally important, yet overlooked and underfunded, institutions. We have worked tirelessly over the past few years – building coalitions, forging partnerships, and developing this documentary series – to encourage and create change,” said Constance Schwartz-Morini, co-founder and CEO of SMAC Entertainment and executive producer of Coach Prime. “We are thrilled to partner with Prime Video to expand the series’ audience and give viewers a sense of the culture unique to HBCUs and a behind-the-scenes look at Coach Prime, and his efforts to level the playing field.”

In a dream sitcom pairing two decades in the making, Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. are set to star in a father-son multi-camera comedy. CBS is developing the untitled project, co-written by Wayans and former Last Man Standing executive producer Kevin Hench.
The comedy revolves around legendary talk radio host and happily divorced “Poppa” (Wayans) who has to drag his grown son (Wayans Jr.), who has all his charm and none of his drive, kicking and screaming into adulthood before he turns 40.
Wayans, Hench and Wayans Jr. executive produce. CBS Studios, where Wayans Jr.’s Two Shakes Entertainment has been based since its launch, is the studio.
This marks Wayans’ return to network comedy after he co-created, executive produced, and starred in ABC’s My Wife and Kids, which ran on ABC for five seasons from 2001-05. It is on that multi-cam show that his son, Wayans Jr., made his TV acting debut with a major recurring role. He went on to star in single-camera comedies Happy Endings and New Girl before headlining the CBS multi-camera sitcom Happy Together.
That CBS sitcom lasted a season but it gave fans a taste of what the Wayanses’ onscreen father-son dynamic would look like when Wayans guest starred as Wayans Jr.’s father in an episode titled, “Like Father, Like Son.”
Wayans Jr., who also appeared on his father’s Showtime sketch comedy The Underground, was most recently seen in the films Supercool, Cherry and Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar. He recently wrapped Netflix’s Players and is an executive producer on the streamer’s upcoming drama series Glamorous.
Wayans is a four-time Emmy nominee who co-created and starred in the iconic sketch series, In Living Color. He most recently starred as Roger Murtaugh on Fox’s Lethal Weapon series and will next be seen starring alongside Pam Grier in Tubi’s noir thriller Cinnamon.
In addition to his lengthy stint as executive producer on Tim Allen’s Last Man Standing, Hench co-created and executive produced Cristela and Mr. Iglesias. He is currently executive producing Allen’s new Disney+ series The Santa Clauses.

The cast of Family Matters is reuniting this holiday season with a Christmas film debuting digitally in Nov. 2022.
According to VIBE, original cast members Kellie Shanygne Williams and JoMarie Payton will be seen together for A Family Matters Christmas. Directed by LaVern Whitt, the film follows three siblings who get tapped by the “forgotten Christmas spirit,” Alternis. The siblings’ lives are quickly swapped as they experience life in the other’s shoes while also on a race against time to switch to their everyday lives back before Christmas Day.
“Working with JoMarie again is such a pleasure, and I could not wait to rekindle the spark and warmth that millions have come to love,” said Williams in an official statement, who played Laura on the ‘80s and ‘90s sitcom.
The script of A Family Matters is written by William’s real-life mother, Peggy Williams.
“When I was writing the story, I realized that the story mirrored my life, and through those life experiences, I’ve learned love, understanding, and forgiveness always win,” she added.
Lise Romanoff, Managing Director/CEO of Vision Films—the team backing the holiday project- said the film is “a labor of love, both behind and on-screen.”
And, “[It’s] a delightful and special holiday film for the entire family. The three generations involved and reuniting some favorites from TV history make it that much more meaningful. It is a film that everyone needs heading into the holidays this year!”
Be sure to catch A Family Matters Christmas on all major cable and streaming platforms on Nov. 8th.
