After being sued by Brandy’s mom, Sonja Norwood, for allegedly blowing $120,000 on her credit card, Kim Kardashian and her siblings fired back at the accusations calling them “meritless.”

“The charges against the Kardashians are meritless,” Kim's publicist was quoted by OK! magazine. “Both Kim and Khloe were employed by the Norwoods and never used their credit cards without their express authorization. The Kardashian family looks forward to proving the absurdity of these claims in a court of law.”

Brandy’s mother and manager, who also names Kardashian’s siblings Khloe, Kourtney and Robert Jr. in the lawsuit, claimed that Kim Kardashian had only been authorized in 2004 to make one purchase on the Norwood American Express card in Kim's then-capacity as a stylist for Brandy, but Kim then shared the credit card details with her siblings and series of charges were made, $62,793.83 in 2006 and $57,841.82 in 2007.

According to reports, some of the clothes were actually purchased from two Kardashian family-owned clothing stores, Dash and Smooch.

The lawsuit seeks the return of the entire $120,000 plus 10 per cent interest.

In a new statement to OK!, Norwood said she commenced litigation against the Kardashian family after “conducting an exhaustive investigation into the charges, and discussing all options, including criminal prosecution.”

“After Ray-J and Brandy urged me not to file criminal charges because of their prior friendship, I decided to afford the Kardashians an opportunity to resolve this matter without a lawsuit. When the fraudulent charges were brought to their attention, they apologized profusely, and advised us, through their attorneys, that they would pay the debt in full. However, they have since reneged on that promise. The investigation has revealed that the Kardashians used their two stores and other stores that I have never visited to take advantage of me. I very much look forward to having the Kardashians account for their misconduct in a court of law. I also welcome the examination of any so called evidence to determine whether it was fraudulently obtained or whether it constitutes a forgery,” her statement read.
