Toni Braxton, Bankrupt: Singer Sued Again

Toni Braxton Sued For FraudGetty Images

It has not been an easy road for Toni Braxton since filing for bankruptcy in 2010, and Braxton isn't out of rough waters just yet.

According to TMZ, a bankruptcy trustee is suing the "Unbreak My Heart" singer for fraudulently transferring $53,490 to her estranged husband, Keri Lewis, in order to avoid paying back creditors in her bankruptcy case. The documents show that Lewis received the funds after Braxton's money was already earmarked to repay creditors.

A rep for Braxton disputes any wrong doing, telling TMZ: "All of the payments made to Lewis prior to Toni's bankruptcy filing were appropriate transfers for reasonable and necessary personal and business expenses in the ordinary course of her business." The rep added that Braxton "will continue to provide the trustee whatever info is needed to address the allegation."

Tonight, Braxton opens up about her financial struggles on VHI's Behind the Music, which airs at 10 p.m. ET on VHI.

See a preview clip of the special below.

I don't feel sorry for her, but we don't know what all is going on there. I know she has an artistic child and she suffers from a disease that is not curable. I think prayer is needed for her, along with someone who cares enough for her to give her honest advice. Love you Toni!

Actually isn't it true that once you try to get away with hiding money in a bankruptcy that it drops you out of the bankruptcy. I love her music, but you should have learned the first time around to get better management. From watching the show The Braxton's her own sister said when Toni was looking for a new house..."If this is what bankruptcy looks like, I want in!"
