Toni Braxton is re-teaming with Lifetime after delivering record ratings with her 2016 biopic ‘Unbreak My Heart.’

And this time, she’s also appearing in front of the camera in new movie ‘Faith Under Fire.’

As reported, the butter-smooth contralto swaps the mic for tense drama in the film adaptation of the book ‘Prepared for a Purpose: An Inspiring True Story of Faith, Courage and Compassion in Crisis’ by Tuff and Alex Tresniowski.

The 50-year-old stars as Antoinette Tuff, a struggling single mom from Georgia who is hailed as a hero for convincing a crazed gunman intent on causing chaos at an elementary school to stand down.

‘Faith Under Fire,’ which Braxton is also exec producing, relays the moments that led to his surrender and the integral role Antoinette played.

Ahead of its premiere on January 28th, a trailer has been released. Check it out below…

The R&B singer’s “split” from husband Vince Herbert has been a fixture in the headlines since news hit that she had filed for divorce back in October.

What followed was public comments from Braxton’s family supporting the break-up and various suggestion that domestic violence was involved.

Adding pepper to the hotpot of mess, this week the 40-year-old songbird took to social media to declare that her “ex” had impregnated another woman (who she branded a “wh*re.” It was also revealed that whatever bust-up that spurred on the announcement also saw Vince locked up for (alleged) spousal abuse on Christmas Day.

So, riddle us this: why then was Tamar spotted ringing in the New Year none other than…Vince?!
