Update: Did Toni Braxton Pull A Fast One?
Monday. 2.5.07 7:20 pm
Brandy isn't the only R&B chic with major legal woes. As we mentioned before, Toni Braxton sued her former manager, Barry Hankerson, for $10 million due to breach of contract.
But is there more to the story....
On Wednesday we found out that Toni and Hankerson are now in a public battle. The jist of the story is this. Toni filed her lawsuit. The courts and her attorney told her to re-file in state court and make sure she had proof. Hankerson took her re-filing as her dropping the lawsuit and issued a public statement saying Toni dropped it.
Toni, then issues a statement saying oh hell no, I didn't drop the case I refiled. Then Hankerson issued yet another statement saying basically that Toni is full of shit. Read more here.
One key detail in Hankerson's claim is that Toni is pulling a fast one. Here is an excerpt from the Hankerson's/Blackground Records statement that was issued.
"Neither Blackground Records nor Barry Hankerson have been served with the new lawsuit; nevertheless, we are quite confident that this new lawsuit will ultimately be deemed devoid of merit. Both Blackground Records LLC and Barry Hankerson have fulfilled all of their obligations to Ms. Braxton and find it disappointing that she has chosen litigation instead of working with Blackground Records to make a hit album that could have revived her recording career," says the statement.
Hankerson claims that Braxton's original lawsuit comes just two days after he dropped her from Blackground when she collected an advance for an album that she later refused to deliver.
Aiight... let's get real here. Sure Hankerson maybe shady, but Toni's last cd had like two good songs on it. And I can easily see Toni pulling a diva move and promising an album so that she could get the advance and then say... fuck that shit.
As it stands now the case will go to trial in New York State Court and until then you can catch Toni at the Flamingo in Vegas.
Check this rare video from Toni for "Let It Flow." Apparently it was never released because the label thought it was too risque.
