Toni Braxton’s sister, Towanda Braxton, is standing up for her, after the tons of backlash Toni recently received. As we previously reported, Toni caught a lotta flack a few weeks ago, when fans accused her of going overboard with plastic surgery. It all started after Toni shared the below photo of herself, seated in a car and gazing into the camera. It was her nose that caught most of the attention though…

One commenter wrote, “Looks great…no more nose work though…unless she going to go back and add some..🙄. While another said, “smh cmon Toniiii! We was rooting for you!”

Well now, Towanda is defending Toni B. and denying her sister’s had any plastic surgery at all. According to Towanda, Toni’s slimmer nose looked that way because of her Lupus disease. Here’s what she said when asked if her big sis’ had surgery on her nose:
Towanda:”Nooo! Toni has Lupus. So when you’re on Lupus, you take steroids and with the steroids…it fluctuates your weight. Sometimes she has to be on steroids and sometimes she has to be off of steroids. So it fluctuates her weight. And because she has Lupus, she can’t have anything foreign in her body. So Toni can’t get, like Botox, she can’t get any of that because it’s synthetic. Anything synthetic can make her sick.”
She continued:
“You know what? I think that people should do their research…they should research different diseases, you know. ‘Cause Lupus is no joke.” …] People are gonna talk about you, whether you do good or bad, but you now…she’s 50 years old and looks amazing. People just can’t understand how she’s 50 ands she looks so amazing.”
Towanda spoke her mind, didn’t she? Respect to her for that.
I also took Towanda’s advice and did a lil’ research on Lupus. According to many plastic surgeons, people with Lupus can, in fact, get nose jobs, Botox, and other fillers. The plastic surgeons also stated that Lupus does not automatically disqualify one from having types of those procedures, which many Lupus patients have gotten.
Now, I luhhs me some Towanda Braxton, Lawd knows I do *in my “Ms. Sofia” voice.* However, I have to be real. She could very well be telling the truth about Toni not having a new nose job, but her explanation about Toni’s Lupus hindering her from plastic surgery, may make some fans give her the side eye. That is, if they also take her advice and do some quick research of their own.
Anywho, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- new nose, or no new nose, I’m just happy that Toni Braxton is happy. And besides, as long as her soon to be husband, Birdman, likes it, then that’s all the “respeck on her name” Toni will ever need.
