Coffee Talk: Toni Braxton Shares Bankruptcy Details

See why we’re adding a lot of extra cream to our morning brew:

• Toni Braxton is a hot topic this morning. Not only did her reality show debut last night on WE, but she’s opening up about her very public money woes. She told Black Enterprise that her biggest financial mistake was putting her own money into her Vegas shows. “Because of that, I had to file a business and individual bankruptcy. If I had to do it over again. I would get investors. I understand why you do it yourself because of the security; but putting your own money up isn’t always the best idea.” She went on to say she did treat herself every now and then, but never to anything too extravagant.
