I was a little hurt when I found out that Toni Braxton filed for bankruptcy – again. She is between $10 to $50 million in the hole. I love her voice and her fashion sense. Her Las Vegas show was acclaimed.
I wonder if her high-end persona is keeping her in the poor house. If she were a folk singer, would she be in this situation? I really hope it’s Ms. Toni’s last time filing. She’s had too great of a career to give all of her well-deserved riches to the mortgage company and jewelers!
She’s also had some health issues which cramped her work. Some reports are suggesting that her show’s insurance company may not be picking up the tab for her missed shows. Saving for rainy days is a must. I think if I were a successful singer, I would try to save half of my earnings. That career is so fickle.
What do you think? Can Toni rebound? What’s your favorite Toni Braxton song?

favorite song: Unbreak My Heart
I do love her, but man, she needs a reasonable budget!! And yeah, I adore Unbreak My Heart!
I’m really at a loss as to why she’s broke (again!). Does she really live such an extravagant lifestyle? Did she not learn her lesson from the last time? It’s a little hard to feel sympathy for her on so many levels. Also, isn’t she the same one who was kissing some man onstage at an Awards show when her husband was in the audience? This latest bakruptcy strikes me as a sympton of a larger mess. Sounds like she first needs to go to therapy if she isn’t already there. Her overspending has to be a sympton of something a lot deeper. Wish her well though…
I did not realize that she was broke again…even though people sometimes file to stay put for a minute. I think when her knight and shining armor rescued her and then she married him (probably out of guilt or obligation) she did not learn the lesson she was being taught. So she is down the same road again…maybe she will learn the lesson this time when she pulls herself out of this mess. I believe she has divorced said Knight and unfortunately, he may be pulling the rug from under her as well. I know her illness and her son’s autism have to be tugging on her wallet, but she has to live within her means. It took me a minute to learn that lesson, but I did–kind of. Well, we have to be honest. However, I did not have the number of dollars flying through my fingers like her…I wish her well…and I encourage her to listen to you or Suze Orman….but she needs to listen to SOMEONE.
