R&B singer Brandy Norwood's mother filed a lawsuit Monday against Kim Kardashian accusing her of running up more than $120,000 credit card charges without Brandy's permission. The suit, which also names Kardashian's siblings Khloe, Kourtney and Robert Jr., alleges they ran up the charges while Kim worked as Brandy's stylist in 2006 and 2007. It seeks the return of Brandy's money plus 10 percent interest. Kim Kardashian denied the allegations, claiming she and her siblings had Brandy's permission to make the purchases. "We have her signature on all items," Kardashian says. In the lawsuit, Brandy's mother, Sonja Norwood, who is also her manager, alleges Kim Kardashian had only been authorized in 2004 to make one purchase on Brandy's American Express card in Kim's then-capacity as a stylist. But later, Kardashian made unauthorized purchases and passed on Brandy's card number to her siblings, who also then made unauthorized purchases, including for items in two Kardashian family-owned clothing stores, Dash and Smooch, for a total of $120,636.Legal Victory For Vick
