Toni Braxton Uncut: Stories From her Rise to Fame, Divorce, Lifetime Movie + Battle with Lupus
Ойын-сауық
Coming off a Grammy win for Best R&B Album in 2015, Toni Braxton's storied career just keeps on growing. With her own Lifetime movie, "Unbreak My Heart," documenting her career premiering tomorrow (Jan 23), Braxton stopped by Sway in the Morning to give us some behind the scenes stories of her early career.
From leaving her sisters behind to start her own solo career to her musical relationship with Babyface, Braxton speaks very candidly about how she made her start. Being silenced from speaking on label issues, Braxton, who is now free to speak out, mentions the help and advice she received from Prince.
Finding out in 2007 that she was battling lupus, we hear Braxton open up about her divorce and how "Love, Marriage, Divorce" came about.

First of all Toni couldn't even talk about her situation because she weren't allowed and Oprah was basically telling her she's spending money on things she can't afford/doesn't need when Toni wasn't even being PAID and she sold millions of records. The truth? Nobody knew exactly what was going on until the movie, INCLUDING Oprah. ✋🏾

That the real reason Toni did her biopic So that ppl could see the real reason for her money problem
I'm so happy for Toni. So many artists lose in this business, but I think she can definitely say she won. It's crazy too, because around 2007, so many people were really coming for her like oh she spent her $, and they didn't even know half of what was going on. It just shows you don't speak on people's lives before you have all the facts. Now she's back and even better, and the best part is she gets to tell her tale, unlike Whitney and Aaliyah, who didn't get the chance.

I'm so in love with her guys! I mean, she looks so sincere, so honest so kind and so good! She's a survivor and really impressive artist! Can't wait for new music

Sway stutters when she grabs his leg during the intro hahahaaa!!!
Toni Thee Braxton living legend!! Often imitated but never duplicated! I don’t think she gets the respect she deserves!! Like some of the other R & B ladies from that era!
I'll always love Toni Braxton. And I'll always be here for her.
There is something about Toni's beauty, poise and gaze that is so angelic and captivating. I can't stop looking at her😩😩 I was looking her only through out❤
glad I found this interview after watching the movie because Sway is telling everything!
If ever meet Toni, Mary j blige, and tboz I feel I'll go crazy and pass out. I love these singers from the heart.
now that's how a woman is supposed to keep herself up over time.
My face 😖😂when Sway told Toni she likes it hard!
SUCH A BLESSING TO SEE THEEE QUEEN STILL REIGNING OUT HERE! PROSPERING AND WALKING IN HER DESTINY!! I LOVE YOU QUEEN TONI BRAXTON !!! THANKS FOR SUCH AN INSIGHTFUL AND COMICAL INTERVIEW SWAY IN THE MORNING CREW!
20:30 Dude do you know how many shows she do ? She's not going to remember you 😂😂😂😂
My first ejaculation August 18th 1996 Toni Braxton- You Makin Me High music video. Camel toe had a young man paralyzed. Had that shit recorded on a VHS with Goodburger on an episode of All That to hide it.

This woman has been a part of my life since the secrets album. She was so deep and intimate. It’s so rare to find a woman so open about her feelings as she’s done. Much love all the way from South Africa❤❤❤❤❤
Can't get enough of this woman. #muchloveandrespect
she is such a good sister......
Absolutely love this woman. My favorite female singer now. Was always a favorite. Still beautiful.
Wonderful interview. I'm so proud of Toni and now everyone knows the truth about her life and the entertainment business. Thnx Sway
This was a really good interview. Enjoyed from beginning to end.
Bro I never noticed how funny sway is 😂😂😂
She's blessed us with such beautiful legendary music, she should never had gone thru what she went through financially. But it made her stronger
Miss Toni Braxton!!! You are such a BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!!! Loved your interview.
This was a great interview! I love Toni Braxton!
Love her, her voice is still untouchable!
Omg part two of Love, Marriage, & Divorce.... cant wait😆
I am sooo here for this interview and Toni us gorgeous still.
Her confidence is amazing
'Im not broke right now!' lol Love it!
She is just so beautiful, and her voice will make you melt. 💜💜💜💜😗🥰🥳
I was the Toni in high school. My friends would always make me sing her songs. Great days, love toni
I find her life story so fascinating, I love our Queens!
That hand motion tho lmao
I love Toni Braxton!!!
ahhhh man black don't crack she is a black nubian queen
Love Toni Braxton a true queen with class and grace.
She still my idol til this day classy with style, heart and looking good as hell!
How can any man leave that? She's got more class than her sisters.
lmao @ Heather B's face when sway started talking about Toni behind closed doors
omg this video has actually taught me so much! I can't believe Toni had to go all through that and same with so many other artists. so unfair. I hope that she knows that she shouldn't feel guilty for leaving her sisters behind, she did what she could and God paved the way for them. God bless the Braxtons they are sometimes a little crazy but what would life be without them? :)
Love this lady. Pure class. Excellent interview.
love me some toni braxton..... just love her
Definitely a icon! I love her
Even her speaking voice is beautiful.
She’s so ...everything. Velvet voice. I love her.
Love this interview
I love Toni Braxton. .she is sooooo pretty
She is so beautiful. Inside & out. I NEED new Toni Braxton music in my life. Love, Marriage, Divoice was good but I want Please, Hit The Freeway, He Wasn't Man Enough type of up-tempos.
she should play Betty Boop,,,who was actually a famous "Black" singer in the twenties

It's no surprise she became the superstar she is. I can tell she always deserved it. Love how simple she really is by how she is on the show. I roll simple like her too. Shame someone like her has to be plagued with such health problems she doesn't deserve that!

Some people get to the age where they don't have any qualms about talking over any aspect of their life. Maybe because Toni is a public person she's gotten used to it, or it could be the collective influence of social media and the non-privacy effect of everything. In any case, she just seems so relaxed and open for everything in this interview. Nice flow, cool folks here.
