Toni Braxton Thinks That God Gave Her Son Autism To Punish Her For Having An Abortion


Toni Braxton Annual Lupus Orange Ball Beverly Hills CA May 8 2014
Toni Braxton’s new memoir, Unbreak My Heart, reveals a lot of things about her, but most importantly, that she thinks her son’s autism is a punishment straight from G-O-D. This is an actual real thing that she thought would be appropriate and not at all offensive to write in a book that would be released to billions. I’m thinking we should file this one away into our cabinet of celebrities who are oblivious about their statuses as public figures.
Toni’s ridiculous opinion about the “cause” of her son Diezel’s autism is due to the guilt that she carried over having chosen to terminate one of her pregnancies.
“Amid my major misgivings about abortion, I eventually made the gut-wrenching decision. In my heart, I believed I had taken a life—an action that I thought God might one day punish me for…My initial rage was quickly followed by another strong emotion: guilt. I knew I’d taken a life…I believed God’s payback was to give my son autism.”
Wait, what?? Did a Duggar say this? This is shocking and offensive on so many levels. As someone who’s spent an incredible amount of time with an autistic person, I would just like to assure Toni that it isn’t some sort of retribution that people on the Naughty List get in their stockings. So don’t worry, Toni; if you don’t tip your next server well, your son won’t wake up with double autism the next day.
Also, whether you’d like to call it a condition or a disorder, or refer to those on the spectrum as “autistic” or “people with autism,” can we all unite to agree that hers is the most selfish response ever? It’s like, way to make discovering this new facet of her son’s life all about her and her guilty conscience.
Ugh, I’m just truly sad for Toni that she thinks this way about her own son. But I’m even more worried that her son will find out that his own mother stigmatizes such a significant part of who he is. Seriously, what the hell gives?

BRAXTON'S SECOND LUPUS-RELATED VISIT


Toni Braxton was admitted to the hospital late last week. Her year started off with Lupus-related health issues and it looks as though it will end with more.
Toni Braxton hospitalize for Lupus complications
It's been a rough year for R&B singer Toni Braxton. Aside from recently being accused of bankruptcy-related fraud, Braxton also has been living with Lupus for the past two years.
She was admitted to the hospital over the weekend after suffering complications with the disease. Braxton did not report what those complications are, and neither did her spokesperson.
On Friday, she tweeted to her fans that she was in the hospital, then added, "But no worries! I will be out any day now."
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease during which a healthy immune system becomes overzealous and attacks healthy cells. While many people live long and relatively healthy lives with Lupus, that's not always the case. Fox News reports that Braxton's uncle died from Lupus complications.
This only adds to an already rough year for the singer. She began 2012 with another hospital visit because of more Lupus-related complications.
Then, later in the year, Braxton was investigated after being accused of making a fraudulent money transfer to her estranged husband, Keri Lewis. Braxton filed for bankruptcy in 2010. It's rumored that she transferred $53,000 to avoid having it seized to pay back debt during the bankruptcy process. Braxton, who flew to the top of the charts in the 1990s with her single "Un-Break My Heart," is believed to owe $10 million to $15 million worth of debt.
The singer claimed the debt was related to her Lupus and medical treatment. It's possible. Do record companies offer health insurance to their performers?
Oprah may have other suspicions about that massive amount of debt. It could have more to do with her expensive taste. According to their 1998 interview, which Braxton cited during her taping of VH1'sBehind the Music, Braxton's such a big spender — even Oprah seemed concerned.
"'I hear you have Gucci flatware,'" Braxton reports Oprah said. "'I'm Oprah Winfrey and I don't have Gucci flatware.'"
Whether that debt was accumulated because of Braxton's taste for super-expensive tableware, her health issues, or other celebrity necessities, we may never know.
We wish Braxton a speedy recovery to both her health and her career.
