Toni holds a BA degree from Bowie State University.She was a hit in vegas and became very ill.Her insurance company made her pay out of her pocket for the shows she could not cover.

Melanie...No ONE gave TONI Anything! She earned Her Money and was free to spend it as She desired. You are lazy and yelling for someone to GIVE you something, read your own post. Go Earn it like she did.

First, my heart goes out to Toni. Her young child has developed AUTISM...a variable developmental disorder that appears by age three and is characterized by impairment of the ability to form normal social relationships, by impairment of the ability to communicate with others, and by stereotyped behavior patterns. Will Smith's son has the same disease. So many many children are suffering and there is no CUREor identifiable CAUSE.

Second, TONI, about a year or more ago was diagnosed with MS none as Muliple Sclerosis...a demyelinating disease marked by patches of hardened tissue in the brain or the spinal cord and associated especially with partial or complete paralysis and jerking muscle tremor. She even has an attack doing her Vegas show. Insurance Companies do not pay for MS treatments, or hospitalizations. It is a life threatening and the patients end up immobile,speechless, mentally impaired and MS is incurable.

So, before U speak so pious, learn to have some compassion. If U noticed it mentioned the astronomical hospital bills, and they will only continue to mount, for her and child. My Prayers are with Toni and her FAMILY!

she EARNED the money
you didn't !!

Not to mention she has an autistic child. Before you criticize know what your talking about! Making a point should never involve ignorance!

The problem, MISSBURDINES, is that she DIDN'T EARN IT.... she spent money she had not earned and went into debt..... not once..... BUT TWICE!

To Melanie and all the other rock throwers... Let's try a little kindness. You do still have an ounce of this, don't you? Judge others and you'll be judged too. Maybe the world would like to see your perfect life and accounts?

Well, I have no problem feeling bad for someone who is going through bancruptcy no matter how much money they have made in their life. Listen, hard times can fall on anyone at any time. But one thing is for sure and I feel that this fact should be made clear: The reason that Toni's insuranmce company did not pay out on her claim for her heart illness while in Vegas is because when she first applied for the insurance coverage, she had to fill out an application. On that application are various health questions that she had to honestly answer. The one that asks "Have you been treated for any prior illnesses in the last 5 years (some ask for 10 yrs) you must answer it HONESTLY. Toni has been diagnosed and treated for heart problems in the past - she answered "no" to that question - knowingly withholding pertinent information about a prior illness. That automatically makes the policy null and void. Sorry to say, she tried to pull a fast one on the insurance company. That's why they refused to pay her any disability or medical claims! It's call cheating, folks. I can't feel bad for her in that respect.
