On Why She Lied to Oprah About Being Married to Her Daughter’s Father: 

Oprah: I asked you were you married at the time, and you said you were.

Brandy: I said that I was.

Oprah: Why did you say that?

Brandy: Because you know, at that time being pregnant out of wedlock was not a trend. It was not something people praised. It was a sin. And I felt that I could not be honest about it. I felt the pressure of having to be perfect. And I was scared. I thought that everything that I had worked hard for and everything thing I had work to build and the image I had worked so hard to build was threatened. And I felt like having a child out of wedlock…

Oprah: Would ruin that?
