All these comments about Toni Braxtons "selfish" nature buffle me. Its quite clear the those who posted such dont have a clue of Toni Braxtons journey began. Let me "school" you a bit on that then, so that you could stop grabbing at loose straws. Firstly as it already been stated Toni Braxton didnt start out as a solo artist, she was part of the group the Braxtons when she was discovered by Kenneth Edmonds and him and Clive only wanted to sign Toni, but then she said that she wont be able to do anything with anyone unless her sisters where to be lined a deal as well, which did happen and they released a c.d together which didnt fare well in the public, this was around the when Toni had just released her debut. Then later on around the secrets era she managed to negotiate a another deal for the Braxtons minus her this time because of the plight of her career, she couldnt afford to be a group nd a solo artist at such a time. Then around the same time Tamar managed to land a solo projet, which was great to say the least but failed to lauch her. Fast forward to the first season of Braxton family values. Toni has said even before 2010 that Tamar had been running the idea of a family reality show with she was sceptical in doing but then decided to do just because of her sisters and because she wanted to get some topics off her back(her lupus and bankrupcy). She did the show and it managed to lauch her sisters ambitions to the eyes of the public. Fast forward to the second season where she stated before it even began that she would be having less of a role this season because she wants to rework her brand outside the reality show and not forgettin that she was moving to L.A and the show is shot in Atlanta(dont know how she can be at two places at once), but now some of u choose to see that as her distancing herself. And to correct one of you Toni never said that music was a "TONI BRAXTON FAMILY BUSINESS" she said that "MUSIC IS A BRAXTONS FAMILY BUSINESS"
