Toni Braxton, Oprah: Singer Says Oprah Was 'Mean' to Her

More details are emerging from Toni Braxton's "Behind the Music" interview, including Braxton's account that Oprah was mean to the "Unbreak My Heart" singer during a 1998 interview that addressed Braxton's financial problems.

In the preview clip of the special, Toni said: "She was so frickin' mean to me, I was in shock. "She said, 'I hear you have Gucci flatware; I'm Oprah Winfrey and I don't have Gucci flatware...' You didn't have Gucci flatware because you didn't wanna buy it; it's not because you couldn't afford it."

"She made me feel this big," Braxton added, squeezing her thumb and forefinger together.


Oprah has not commented on Braxton's statements.

Braxton also opens up more about her financial and health problems in the special, which airs tomorrow night on VHI.

It is always wise not to kick someone when they are done, that all.

I remember this episode very well. I saw this episode in my home country and I was very shocked like Toni to see Oprah literally degrading Toni. I felt so bad for her. That was the very first time I remember thinking, even Oprah can be mean. If you follow Toni's story, you would want to give her a hug. Nevertheless, life goes on; I hope Toni has learned her lesson in general and I wish her nothing but good health and prosperity.

She should have listened to Oprah, because she filed again for bankruptcy. Many "stars" need fo have a talk with Oprah and they would not suffer financial devastation. Countless number of people lost their home and wound up penniless because they spent their money frivolously.

TONI LIKED VERY EXPENSIVE THINGS. OF COURSE OPRAH COULD AFFORD EXPENSIVE THINGS BETTER THAN TONI, SHE JUST DID NOT NEED TO BUY THEM. MISS O: IS PRACTICAL TOO. THAT IS WHY SHE STILL HAS HER FORTUNE. TONI, WAS JUST MAKING HERS TROUGH HER SINGING, AND APPEARANCES. WHEN THE MONEY STOPS COMING IN YOU NEED TO STOP SPENDING. MISS O WAS NOT MEAN SHE WAS TELLING TONI SHE NEEDED TO WISE UP ABOUT BUYING THINGS THAT SHE COULD LIVE WITHOUT.
