History’s Most Infamous Shotgun Weddings

BRANDY & ROBERT “BIG BERT” SMITH
Married: In Imaginationland, 2001
Ray-J’s little sis pulled the ol’ fake shotgun trick when she revealed to the media that she was pregnant in February 2002. She also claimed that her and the father (who is the cousin of Brandy’s producer Rodney Jerkins) had quietly married the previous summer. But after the baby was born in June, things seemed to fizzle out. In 2004, her “husband” finally revealed that the marriage was a sham that they invented to protect Brandy’s image. We’ll never believe anything she says again.
