One of those "aw" moments took place between the '90s sitcom Moesha actresses Countess Vaughn and Brandy Norwood on Instagram. The two finally apologized to one another for a feud that included nasty name-calling, and lasted for over a decade.
Although on screen, Moesha (Norwood) and Kim (Vaughn) portrayed perfect best friends, the actresses were everything but that behind the scenes. According to EUR, the two did not get along and were not shy about revealing the tension that lasted for years. But recently, Vaughn decided to bury the hatchet with her former costar in a heartfelt Instagram apology in which she addressed her wrongdoings and congratulated Norwood on all of her accomplishments.
According to the post that displayed a solo photo of the R&B sensation, Vaughn stated how she was proud of her and, despite their ups and downs, recognizes her talent and realizes how wrong she was to call her names in the past.
Brandy, as she is known in the music industry, revealed the feud between the two during a past interview,explaining how Vaugn felt that the '90s sitcom was only a success because of her role on the show. The report stated how people would tell Vaughn that it was her presence on the show that made it such a huge success.
"People tell her, 'You're the reason why the show's successful,'" explained Norwood in reference to the tension between she and Vaughn. "And she's told me that before. And she's called me a b*tch to my face."
Vaugh addressed the past name-calling in her public Instagram apology stating,
"But at the end of the day I had to learn in find myself why not be friends when we're both talented, Why call you names when your just an amazing person... I'm proud of you for being you and working to rise to the best you inside of you."
Vaugh has recently been working to rise to her best self, with specific attention on her image. While working on the Hollywood Divas reality show, Vaugh took viewers through her journey of weight loss surgery, which she described as a "mommy makeover," according to People, and has since found herself in a happier place.
She has not always been happy with her appearance, which Norwood pointed out. She addressed what could possibly be the root of Vaughn's bitterness and envy toward her.
"She wakes up and looks at herself in the mirror and she gets disgusted. I don't," explained Norwood. But, Vaughn's apology sparked a change of heart for both women, evident through Norwood's response to the Instagram post.
"My heart is touched right now," Norwood responded in a comment on the post. "I would love to start a new friendship with you with new heads on both of our shoulders. It would also be great to work together again. Without you, Moesha would not have lasted as long as it did."
Nice to see the two work things out.
