[WATCH: Toni Braxton Talks Drugs, Money & More on VH1's Behind The Music (FULL VIDEO)]
After being hospitalized in LA just last month due to issues related to her lupus condition, Toni’s healthy appearance was obviously a welcome sight.
The Grammy award-winning singer posed for photos with fans before sitting down with Mario to talk about her newly reincarnated acting career.
More photos + video below:
In her interview, Braxton spoke of her new acting role on the Lifetime movie “Twist Of Faith.”
Braxton stars as Nina, a single mom and choir singer who finds herself falling in love with a songwriter named Jacob. Jacob is an Orthodox Jew who moved to Alabama from New York after witnessing the murder of his wife and three children. He is embraced by Nina and their gospel community and music brings Nina and Jacob together as they try to make sense of his past and their possible future.
“Twist Of Faith” premieres on Lifetime, February 9, 2013 at 9pm.
Will you be tuning in to watch Toni in her dramatic lifetime role?
Yes i will! Love toni!
…hope springs eternal with Toni!
looks like a made for tv “I can do bad by myself” repeat
LOL yes it smells like a Tyler Perry movie….Pause
Sure, anything for Toni!
Yep
Toni looks beautiful. I like her better with her short hair tho. Them Braxton women know they loves them dayum wigs. At least this wig don’t look like it’s been chewed up by a puppy.
Toni needs to sit her azz down. She seems thirsty now that Tamar is the berakout star. Really Toni?? The other sisters let you have the spotlight twenty thousand years and you can’t let it go. Raise your kids and let your sisters have a chance at fame.
Why does she need to sit down? How does she seem thirsty? Where else have you seen Toni besides promoting this movie? She still has a voice and she still looks good. Toni didnt hold her sisters back. They held themselves back. No one held a gun to their head and told them to stay in the background. Also if she didnt sign up for the reality show, then it wouldnt have been a reality show. So they still needed her for their chance.
@ Trinky: Amen. She actually took her sisters with her throughout the years. That is commendable. A lot of people forget their family and get brand new when they accomplish success.
Thankyou, people kill me TALKING and not knowing what the hell they are talking about
You mean like how you be doing?
you don’t know me..don’t get cursed out again like you did the last time..had you come at me better I wouldn’t have had to go there with you..you started it and I can finish it..stop stalking my comments
Couldn’t agree more.
100% agree. Her sister Traci acts as though her career was over because she had a baby. The other sister has a nice voice and a good band, but rather drink than work hard. Tamar is following her dreams. Even though I cant stand her personality with the bobble head, speaking in the third person and .com, .org mess. I will definetly purchase her cd because her voice is on point.
Are you going to pay her bills?
Tamar is that you, LOL???
The music industry is HUGE. There is more than enough room for both Toni and Tamar to release cds. If I’m not mistaken, Toni was already set to have a cd out (she released a dance video last year). She probably pushed her cd back so that Tamar can shine. I believe Tamar’s cd is out either this month or March.
You sound like a delusional fool. How are going to tell somebody to stop working so that others can have fame. I can see the type of persons you are. Legendary Toni cannot come out of the spotlight, she has earned it. You think fame is going to just fall on the sisters, they have to earn it. If its notToni it will be someone else. I don’t hear the sisters complaining because they are hard working, so you must have major issues to tell to someone that. I think you should try working on yourself to be a better person, so you can be happy for everyone. IJS
Toni deserves extra props for being the supportive sister she is to Tamar. Elephant in the room is Tamar is over the top negative in personality, her mirrors only work for HER and her singing is a straight imperfect rip off of Toni. Toni is relevant, Tamar is tacky. Only claim to fame is hubby’s money and being Toni’s sister. Toni MADE her money and fame through hard work and debilitating illness despite what industry did to her.
Toni that dress is the biz! Girl, you did that! Much success…hope your health continues to improve. God Bless.
*googling the dress…need it for a wedding*
She can act? (no shade) I’ve just never seen her in anything but her videos.
she’s done a couple of movies, nothing big but she can act a bit
Congrats Toni, love seeing her healthy
She looks good! (By the way those pink shoes with the outfit is hott!!!) Yup! Will be watching.
Go Toni! Looks Fabulous. She don’t need to sit down, she need to make her money to take care of her babies. @Really?, you must be suggesting you will pay her bills telling her to go sit down. That is like telling a single mom not go to work and stay home with children without answering the question who will pay the bills?
Toni: TOni is the businezzzz : You mean the world to me, you are my eeeeverything, and the only thing that matters. matters to me oh! baby baby baby ba…baaaaaaa! duh! duh! duh! oh! babaaa..duh!duh!duh!
As for her sisters….
Tamar: She can saaaang too! she can be alittle to much at time…she can shine too! If she allow her talent to do all the work for her (she and Toni can co-exist)
Towanda (decide what you &Andrea going to do) Trina…figure what you are going to do with yourself and marriage..Tracy figure out what you want to do with your life hun…….
She looks great (as usual), and she is so tiny!!!
I plan to watch the Lifetime movie when it is released.
I love her style. Go on Toni!
why does her face look so swollen. bad plastic surgery or medications
Lupus..keep up
Actually, the Lupus is not causing the swelling. It is the medication (often steroids) use to control the Lupus that causes the swollen appearance.
You are correct, it just bugged me that the poster said plastic surgery..trying to shade when it was unnecessary..that’s why i left it as Lupus so they could just hush
No, gurl had work done, nose job, check implants. The blood clot last month was proberly from the surgery. Lupus dont make your face swollen.
STHU! Aint’ nobody checking for Tony Braxton no more. She’s like 50 and too many "yunguns" have taken her spot. Girl Bye!
While you’re on TEAM TAMAR, if it wasn’t for Toni, Tamar would not be KNOWN, it was Toni that gave her sisters a shot by singing background for her, it was Toni that introduced Tamar to Vincent, it was Toni that had to greenlight their show or it wouldn’t have been picked up because no one was checking for ANY of the sisters on their own INCLUDING Tamar..therefore give Toni the respect that is due or stFu! oh yeah and she’s 45, and looks better than most..probably you too
Totally Agree. Toni looks Fabulous for a 40+ old lady (hint of sarcasm) with health issues. She even looks better than most healthy 20 something’s. Young ladies you can look this good too past 40 if you stop with all the excessive drinking, drugging, smoking and sexing. Also I don’t care what your closeted gay boyfriend or husband tells you; stop it with the over eating and butt shots. This is how a mature woman is supposed to age gracefully.
Maybe you should take your own advice and stfu?
Still stalking I see…
She does look fab. It sad to see so many people under 30 who are more than 100 pounds overweight. You are young work that out now, because in the long run those medical bills will add up.
Correct that statement idiot, you are not checking for Toni. Toni is 45, but the same team Tamar you are on is 36 and reviving her career. The legendary Toni is always in the spotlight, its not her fault she always stands out. As Tamar would say have SEVERAL SEAT. I wonder what "yunguns" you are talking about, because they put out music today and ppl forget it next day. I think you should check yourself before you become a wreck , because you must be on something to make that comment.
Looks good I love Lifetime movies..
Boston
Even with health issues, Toni looks better than most 20 somethings including her youngest sister.
I agree…Love me some Toni, will definitely be watching.
I would if only i had lifetime Channel!
Yeah Toni! Very happy for her. She looks great.
Really? Clearly some ppl dont know Toni Braxton. She has played in the movie Kingdom Come with Anthony Anderson and Jada Pinkett-Smith.(betcha didnt know NeNe Leakes was in that movie either…). Toni also played in the movie Play’d a Hip Hop Story( this movie was something to the nature of the beef between Biggie and Tupac). Please folks do your history and read up on stuff before you start saying she always want to be in the spotlight.Yes, her sisters were in the back round for many years for Toni Braxton. But if they are still not doing anything pertaining to music, then why is that Toni’s problem? Tamar is the only one that I see is doing something with herself. Toni is not doing anything other than what she supposed to be doing….making money to take care of her kids. And for the record Lifetime is always making movies so nobody actually knows when or how long this movie was in production. Tamar has been working on a album since 1999-2000. Stop the presses!!!!!
I didn’t see NeNe, i’m going to have to watch it again..good info thanks
im glad she is able to act, her face looks really swollen, but im sure it’s because of lupus break out. i think the dress is too tight but he who am i to judge? lol lol lol what i will say is that the eyelashes are not put on right, whoever did them need their ass whup! love you toni!
You need to know when to sit down. Period.
Are you saying she should sit down for health reasons? Your health is your wealth. I guess she still has to work and pay those bills. I can not knock her for taking care of her sons.
for 2bme:
Ne Ne had a very very small part. Theres a part when they are all walking over the person in the isle acting a fool at the funeral. Cant remeber who it is for some reason. Ne Ne was supposed to step over the person, just like everyone else, but instead she steps on the person. The producers thought it was funny so they kept in the movie. I heard her say this in an interview as to when she did a little acting before Glee,RHOA,and The New Normal.
Oh Ok thanks Doll, it’s amazing the tidbit of info you find out, lol..I’m going to check IMDB see wht else is out there that’s how I found Kenya’s extensive resume(enter side eye)
[...] Toni Braxton still looking good- StraighfromtheA [...]
I don’t know what she had done but Toni looks gorgeous. Such a beauty. Go girl.
Will def watch it,love me some Toni and she is working that dress.
interesting- just as I scroll to this, the preview shows. Sure, Ill check it out.
Know it’s late but saw the movie. Toni was great!
