R&B star Brandy has turned her back on Scientology after turning to the controversial religion following her fatal car crash in December 2006. The singer was eventually cleared of wrongdoing a year after the freeway pile-up, which claimed the life of a fellow motorist, but she admits the accident left her seeking spiritual help.

And when one friend suggested she look into Scientology, Brandy considered joining the faith, which boasts Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Lisa Marie Presley among it's high-profile members.

She says, "Someone said, 'There're [sic] these classes that you can take that can better you as a person.' I'm like, 'OK, I'll go check it out, but that's all I did, go check it out. I'm not a Scientologist."
