Toni Braxton Accused Of Bankruptcy Fraud, Husband Get's Sued ...

Source: WENN

I?m going to go out on ?limb here and say Toni Braxton?s money hasn?t been right since?before?she got into the industry. You would think after two bankruptcies, the singer?s bank accounts would start to look better but now that she?s been accused of fraud and her semi-estranged husband Keri Lewis is being dragged into the drama, things are looking a lot worse.

According to TMZ:

Toni Braxton?fraudulently transferred $53,490 to her estranged husband in order to avoid paying back creditors in her bankruptcy case ? so says the trustee of Toni?s bankruptcy estate.

According to new docs filed in Toni?s ongoing bankruptcy case, Toni?s estranged husband?Keri Lewis?received the 5-figure sum after Toni?s money was already earmarked to repay creditors.

Now, the bankruptcy trustee is suing Lewis to get the money back ? much like?John Mayer was sued?for $465,000 following a giant Ponzi scheme collapse in Seattle.

When Toni filed for?bankruptcy?the last time in 2010, she claimed she had between $10 million and $50 million worth of debt stemming from the?cancellation?of her Vegas shoes due to her?health?issues. The $50K she allegedly transferred to Keri wouldn?t have even put a dent in that debt but the law is the law. According to Toni?s rep, she followed it though, saying in a statement:

?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.?

Interestingly, on tonight?s VH1 ?Behind The Music? special with Toni, she talks about her first bankruptcy in 1998 and the infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey in which the daytime talk show host lightweight went in on her for her financial choices. I believe this was also when Oprah said she signs every last one of her checks. Anyway, Toni didn?t appreciate the ?lesson,? telling VH1:

?She was so frickin? mean to me, I was in shock. I couldn?t believe it because I loved her so much. I looked up to her and she pretty much reprimanded me.

?She says to me, ?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. What do you mean? Immediately she made me feel this big. That moment changed my career. It made people look down on me.?

I guess we won?t see her on ?Oprah?s Next Chapter.? Check out the sneak peek here.

What do you think bout Toni?s money problems?
