REWIND: Toni Braxton's Full Behind The Music Episode
In case you missed Monday's premiere of R&B diva Toni Braxton's VH1 Behind The Music episode or just don't feel like playing hide and seek with the 5 million re-airs the full episode can be seen below.
Here's my few thangs:
I didn't know Toni filed bankruptcy for the second time due to her illness during the time she contractually obligated to her Las Vegas shows which in turn she was left with the costs when she was no longer able to perform.
I gathered from Toni's episode that she was handed hardship after hardship that ultimately diminished her grander years of her career but she never gave up which is why she is still around today.
But here's my beef: Why would Toni come for the Big O like that? What did she expect Oprah to do when she came on the show during the peak of her bankruptcy? Not ask about it? Give her a car? What? Oprah doesn't play when it comes to finances and doing right by your money. Toni should have known better!
Toni came off defensive and guilty when she should have been humbled and more receiving in regard to how she feels NOW. Even if she did feel that way THEN I don't think her mentioning it now in such an amateur way was a good move. I mean she is still Oprah! Don't burn your bridges boo.
UNLESS Toni thinks going off about Oprah hurting her feelings and ruining her career would somehow get a sympathetic Oprah to have a Next Chapter interview with her giving her a chance to tell her side as she did in the last season of The Oprah Winfrey Show with Iyanla Vanzant...hmmm.
Let me leave you with this:
Isn't it ironic that both TLC and Toni but sold millions of records and both after the smoke cleared were broke? Both mentioned on their Behind The Music episodes the break down of costs that they were told contributed to them being broke AND both were LaFace Records artists...ironic, huh?
