During an interview with the New York Post, Brown says the company will not allow her to take the money out due to people reporting the page as fraudulent. “They won’t even release it to me because that many people have called and said it was a fraudulent account. Every time you look at it, it says it’s under investigation,” Brown explained.
She added that she wanted to donate the $23,000 to Dr. Obeng’s charity, the “Restore Worldwide” foundation, and help families from her neighborhood in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana.
“That’s going to be pretty upsetting because who are y’all to say, you know, this was a fraudulent account? For one, Dr. Obeng brought me from St. Bernard Parish to Hollywood, like I seen the sign, to take this out of my head like this man didn’t have to do none of this.”
