The bigger the star, the larger the target.

Music’s first couple Beyonce and Jay Z are becoming well acquainted with this old age adage – having both fended off legal claims against them separately this year.

The latest, however, pertained to them both and their 2013 smash ‘Drunk In Love.’

90’s sitcom ‘Moesha’ blasted Brandy‘s star into the stratosphere and launched Countess Vaughn (who played Kim Parker) into the minds of the masses.

Like most successful shows, though, the backstage dramas were just as compelling as what was taking place on the screen.

In the years since the series ceased airing, its stars have remained relatively mum about personal issues, but have confirmed their existence.

Today, however, Vaughn – who is currently starring on the Hollywood Divas reality show – reached out to Brandy via Instagram to extend an olive branch.
