Toni Braxton made headlines last week when she took to Jada Pinkett-Smith‘s web talk show, ‘Red Table Talk,’ to discuss her highly publicized divorce from Mint Condition star Keri Lewis after 12 years of marriage.
Insinuating the split was due to her diagnosed illnesses (see: lupus, microvascular angina, etc.), the recount of the failure of her first marriage ignited a firestorm of criticism against her singer/songwriter ex-husband.
“I felt shallow because my ex-husband and I broke up for money issues,” she stated. “I found out I had lupus at the time, I couldn’t make money because I had lupus, I had to cancel the show. That was my personal contribution to the marriage failing, because who wants to take care of a person who’s sick all the time?”
Tired of the hoopla, Lewis took to Instagram to defend himself and even offered details surrounding the couple’s prenuptial agreement. Read his lengthy statement inside:
As seen above, Lewis did not exactly take kindly to Braxton’s mention of their alimony agreement – even saying “men are the new b*tches” (referencing Britney Spears’ ex Kevin Federline, Mary J. Blige’s ex Kendu Isaacs, and more).

Well, they should not be airing out their grievances publicly in the first place. They better be quiet because if Toni really committed bankruptcy fraud via spousal support payments then they surely could get busted if these back and forth details keep going on.

TROLLmine what times your shift tonight, girl (boy)? It’s madd windy out I hope your corner doesn’t intersect a wind tunnel Bih ??♀️
Leave me ALONE David u WOMAN ABUSER. Cyberbullying is the same as bullying so f.uck off. #WeToo Movement B|tch. Bullying women will NOT be tolerated u ugly n|gga!
If your a MAN being paid by a WOMAN and you are NOT the care-giver of those children. MRS KERI – you are indeed a BIT_CH, like Kevin GA_Y BACK UP DANCER FEDERLINE and KENDU is 100% a B_ITCH. GET OUT AND GET A JOB OR TALENT…. PRINCESS. STOP USING WOMEN. GO AND WORK.
so basically he tried to be polite and keep it cute but couldn’t help but show his ass at the end… he feels emasculated like any insecure little man with a star wife. it’s funny how he feels the need to distance himself from K-Fed and Kendu but he’s just like them in that sense lmao
If what he is saying is true then he is not like Kendu or Federline. Those men hired attorneys and went after their exes for spousal support, child support, and property. Keri received spousal support from Toni but he also paid child support to Toni. Toni’s divorce was more complicated because she had just filed bankruptcy and based on the timeline, I suspect she offered him alimony because it was money she would have had to pay creditors anyway. I agree with her decision because he is the father of her children but I also think she should have answered differently. Based on the long delay in her answering the question it is obvious it is not something she had prepared to answer.

Jizzmine, drop it. No one cares about your phony ass ‘knowledge’ on economics or any other pretense or stunt you pull up here to hide the fact you’re a lifeless troll loser. xoxo
Jizzmine? I don’t deserve to be name called u f.aggot! You t***** trash don’t u speak to me like that. I will kick up my foot up your ass. Oh you probably would like that. Nasty ass stupid sissy. You are the lifeless troll Paula the F.ag.
I always admired that they kept the details of their divorce so private SMH…The thing about it is, Toni hasn’t made any negative or derogatory remarks about Keri. Not in her book, movie, TV show or interviews (not even the red table talk interview). All she did was express her point of view and talk about how she felt during the divorce….
When Toni said men have become b****** in reference to Kerry, that was derogatory.
That isn’t what she said..What she said is “I went through a phase were I felt like men were the new B******”. All that does is shed light on how bitter she was at that point in time. It had nothing to do with him, moreso her. Not everything needs to be read between the lines.
At what point did you hear Toni said that? Lol basic comprehension is lacking..
She failed to mention how she maintained his lifestyle throughout their marriage and even put him on payroll…Maybe then he’d actually have a reason to be salty?
because he was managing her and working on her albums as well dumbass
Huh ?!! ??♂️
Keri always been that b**** so I don’t know why he upset about that part…Toni was stating how she felt at the time. As talented as Keri is he still sit on his ass while his sick wife had to go work because she has a family to feed. What exactly Keri doing now? They can say a lot about Toni but she is a hard worker and always trying to make her family better. Keri guess what? Your kids ain’t no fool either!
Keri still tours with Mint Condition and does real estate. How else you think he eating? He ain’t getting no money from Toni.
No he is laxy. He does NOT tour with Mint Condition. He left that group 20 years ago! He does NOT do real estate because he was nor good at it. He recently had to sell all his music publishing rights just to pay child support. He is a bum.
lazy not laxy.
Keri ain’t doing s***. If Toni could work through Lupus he could have done better for his family. Hr is talented and let it go to waste.
Can’t cash the checks and still not want to be called a B. You could have declined, but didn’t. So enjoy your checks and your title as a B.
Why should he have? She and her lawyers made that agreement so no he shouldn’t have declined as it was what she agreed to give. Halle and Mary did not have the sole power in the draft of the prenups (was Halle even married). At the end of the day Keri went with what Toni created so she should not be complaining.
Well Nick Cannon cashed Mariah’s spousal support checks and nobody calls his corny b|tch ass a b|tch.
WHAT A QUEEN. HE COULD HAVE DECLINED THE PAYMENTS AND HE DID NOT AND SHE DID NOT CALL HIM ANY NAMES AND THIS IS ALL FOR ATTENTION BECAUSE HE TAGGED EVERY BLOG HE POSSIBLY COULD TO GET THIS STORY GOING.
She called him a b**** and insinuated that he was a money hungry loser. Are u dumb?
JUST LIKE YOU
Oh Keri, you could have just declined the money plain and simple. Next….!!!!!!
We all know Toni wasn’t reading contracts back then anyway so she prolly didn’t know what alimony was until that first payment was due lol.
He did the prenupt and divorce on HER terms and using her lawyers. I’m kind of Team Keri, b/c he definitely wasn’t trying to use her.
And let’s be clear — he was NOT the cause of her financial problems. Toni Braxton is known for her extravagant spending. She got caught up in bad contracts with LaFace in the beginning, but after that, she made millions recording and touring.
Which Keri help to spend he was always that cute boy…. The first time Toni filed bankruptcy she had to do it in order to get her money from laface. The second time was when she got sick on could not filled her Vegas contract. Keri did not be a man then and step up to his responsibility , and at the same time Toni was dealing with an autistic son. You hear 1 false news and run with it. Even when Toni is sick she has to be on that stage because she has kids…where is Keri then?
As an Aquarius who is surrounded by Libras, I believe him. Gotta love Libras, but they can be messy ? Especially when it comes to their relationships and what parts of it / themselves they want to shed light on.
ooh hunty Libras are sooo messy but y’all Aquas love to pretend to take the high road and then throw some shade just like Keri did on that note haha
True ?❤️♒️
