The Grammys Are Concerned Toni Braxton's Awards Will Be Auctioned

Toni Braxton

The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS), which is the organization that awards singer with Grammys, has made an appearance in singer Toni Braxton's bankruptcy case, out of concern the six awards she has won during her 20-year music career could be seized and auctioned, to satisfy her many debts.

Braxton fell seriously ill with breast cancer, lupus and angina, which made her unable to work for a time. As a result, Braxton fell behind on credit card payments to high end retailers and other financial obligations. Due to the fact she did not disclose the full extent of her health problems, the insurer that underwrote her Las Vegas performance policy, did not pay the $10,000,000 guarantee in the event her stage run abruptly ended.

Braxton's financial woes grabbed unflattering headlines last year, when she filed for bankruptcy, the second time in a decade, prompting claims she is a spendthrift not in charge of her financial affairs. Braxton's latest Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, already saw her reluctantly relinquish her million dollar mansion in Atlanta, Georgia's Sugarloaf Country Club. The legal documents also list her Grammy awards among her possessions.

It's all good and fine that they made an appearance in the case, in an attempt to protect their brand. However, the Grammys are a complete farce now, when a screamer singer like Beyonce Knowles, among others, can criminally commit wholesale theft of valuable copyrights worth many millions and win more Grammy awards than Aretha Franklin, in one fifth the time. It says the organization's credibility is gone.

You are giving out Grammys like candy to people that did not earn them, which has taken the prestige and heft from your awards. I also have it on good authority, though you do not want the Grammy awards sold to non-recipients, the voting process can be bought to rig a desired outcome on behalf of artists that did not earn it. The aforementioned two problems, which will mushroom into a forthcoming scandal, when specific details are brought to light before the public, are the real issues the Grammys need to be focused on.

Rumor: Tamar Braxton Is A Victim Of Domestic Violence

Vincent Herbert and Tamar Braxton

I read a rumor on the internet stating singer and reality star, Tamar Braxton, who is featured on the show "Braxton Family Values" along with her sister, Grammy Award winner, Toni Braxton, is a victim of domestic violence.

Someone posted claims on Yahoo stating Tamar frequents their business and came in one day with a black eye, hidden by shades, which they attributed to her husband, Lady GaGa producer, Vincent Herbert.

On a separate note, during an episode of "Braxton Family Values" Tamar sarcastically insults her sister, Toni, for turning up late to her party at a restaurant and Herbert is seen hitting her on the right leg, in a manner that shook her up on camera. Therefore, is there truth to the rumors. I hope not.

STORY SOURCE

Is it true that Tamar Braxton husband Vincent Herbert beats her?

Answer: I have heard that as well. I live in Los Angeles and used to work in one of the places that Tamar Braxton visits often (place shall remain nameless because I still have friends that work there). I have seen her come in with a black eye before when she took the big shades off (why the world did she come outside like that being as vain as she is, I will never know).

Also, some of my co-workers actually waited on her another time while she was on the phone with him and heard them arguing and heard her say that she was going to call the cops if he hit her again. After the phone call she was very upset and scared to go home so they actually ended up calling one of her sisters and a friend to come get her. It is obvious that she married this man for his money. I love money too, but I love me much more. Tamar needs to get it together.com. I'm praying for her.

Its really sad to hear this. I was wondering and actually suspected that. She always clams up like a battered woman whenever he walls into a room on the show. Looks like they fight a lot. He is wayyyy bigger than her and im sure that it doesn't tale much to get your point across when your that huge.

Although I DO NOT CONDONE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, I will say that Tamar's mouth probably makes it hard for him not to shut her up.......with any means necessary. She talks too da** much and she not real cute if you ask me. She will probably leave the guy as soon as her short-lived career takes off though.

Will Reality Show Clear Up Toni Braxton's Debts And Financial Troubles


Toni Braxton

In 2010, Grammy Award winning singer, Toni Braxton, filed for bankruptcy - the second time in a decade. In 2010, Braxton lost her $2,400,000 Las Vegas home to foreclosure. She also gave up her primary residence, a 7 bedroom, 7 bathroom, $1,500,000 Duluth mansion, set in the Sugarloaf Country Club.

Braxton initially fought to keep the attractive, sprawling home. However, her creditors forced foreclosure, but due to the property having negative equity, Braxton was advised not to challenge it. She ended up surrendering the property, in what had to be a very difficult blow.

Braxton's former home in Duluth, lost to foreclosure

In the 1990s, LaFace Records, gave Braxton a reported settlement of $20,000,000 as apart of a renegotiation fee on her recording contract, after the bad publicity from her first bankruptcy. Label mates, TLC, were reportedly given the same, as they too had filed bankruptcy.

Braxton's former home in Las Vegas, gone to foreclosure

In 2006, Braxton signed a lucrative Las Vegas performance deal with the Flamingo hotel, but fell ill a year and a half into the multi-million dollar run. This is where her troubles began, as she'd taken on new debts and insurers refused to pay when she became ill, stating she hid her medical condition from them, which is a violation of the performer's policy. Braxton is battling lupus, angina and breast cancer.

Braxton's Las Vegas show was cancelled due to illness

It is regrettable that Braxton did not buy a home outright, when she had cash surpluses, rather than obtaining mortgages, as she would not have lost her main residence, which was clearly distressing. She is also older now, 43, with her health problems impacting her appearance. There also exists a pathetic ageism in the vain entertainment industry.

Braxton Family Values

However, with the success of her reality show "Braxton Family Values" that has brought in a moderate amount of money, with residuals and DVD sales to come, will Braxton get back in the black. That depends. Her 2010 bankruptcy filing was filed with debts to luxury retailers and establishments, such as Tiffany's, BMW, Neiman Marcus and the Four Seasons.

Braxton's spending would have to drastically change, in order to rebuild her finances from the ground up and maintain a solid financial profile. Her health is also a factor, which should indicate to her to save up for a rainy day.

SPIRITUAL Stop Worrying About The Future

People spend too much time worrying about the future. Some sit and fret over bad things that never end up happening. Problems that seem insurmountable today, will be less difficult tomorrow. Take things one day at a time. Don't try to look too far ahead, lest you become disheartened and discouraged. Things will improve if you give it time. God bless.

Tamar Braxton Defends Her Plastic Surgery

Toni Braxton and Tamar Braxton

During the recently televised "Braxton Family Values" reunion show, Wendy Williams asked Tamar how she felt about blogs stating she had plastic surgery. The Judiciary Report was the first to make this claim regarding Tamar. A few weeks later, Tamar spoke openly about it in an interview, confirming the Judiciary Report's claims she had plastic surgery.

However, on the reunion show this week, she stated a blog said she looks like Michael Jackson and the Jacksons, due to the plastic surgery. The Judiciary Report was the site that stated this as well. Tamar said she likes the Jacksons and is fine with looking like them.

"Braxton Family Values"

As usual, she was being dramatic. However, liking them has nothing to do with it. The fact of the matter is, when plastic surgery goes wrong, it can have negative effects. Furthermore, c'mon now, Michael was gluing on his nose after a while (joking).

Seriously, the repeated surgeries had destroyed the structure of his nose and kept eroding in a line and exposing the implant the surgeon placed to create a pointy, pencil thin nose. He constantly covered his face with surgical masks for this reason. How can that be a good thing. There's nothing wrong with plastic surgery, but it should never be obvious.

Braxton Family Values Finale Explodes Into Fight


"Braxton Family Values"

The season finale of the reality series "Braxton Family Values" exploded into a fight between Toni Braxton's parents, Michael Braxton and Evelyn Braxton, when the former was invited to dinner, without the family telling the latter. As 60-year-old mother, Evelyn argued with her ex-husband, Michael, while stabbing her salad with a fork, I thought to myself, girl I don't want you to go to jail, please don't stab him with the fork.

Things became so heated, she walked away from the dinner. Michael Braxton's actions in cheating on the mother of his six children, has given his daughters issues when it comes to men. The family is still suffering emotionally from his choices. Michael Braxton was wrong to leave his wife of 30-years and six children, to be with another woman. That is hurtful and it is understandable that Evelyn would be angry. However, she must forgive him, as should her children.

Friction Between Toni Braxton’s Parents Leaves Her In Tears


Braxton Family Values

This week’s episode of the reality series "Braxton Family Values" featured Grammy award winning singer, Toni Braxton, returning to her home state, Maryland, to face some unresolved family issues. Tamar orchestrated the trip and meeting with their dad, but all didn’t go to plan and it left the sisters in tears.

Braxton’s dad, Michael Braxton, is a preacher that cheated on her mom, Evelyn, which devastated the family. He went through a mid-life crisis that was regrettable. Preachers have to put the Lord and their marriage vows ahead of outside forces that would seek to destroy their unions. It was not God’s will for him to leave his wife and marry another woman. It has profoundly affected his children and ex-wife. Doing the right thing is more important than leaving one’s family.
