Toni Braxton: ‘This is what lupus looks like’
At the 8th Annual Lupus LA Bag Ladies Luncheon earlier this week, singer Toni Braxton announced that she has the autoimmune disease lupus, saying, “Today I’m going to talk about it because I’m a survivor and I’m here, and I don’t want to lose hope.”
Braxton has been open about heart health troubles in the past. In 2004 she told WebMD about her brush with pericarditis, an inflammation of the tissue surrounding the heart. And in 2008, before competing on Dancing With the Stars, she faced another problem: microvascular angina.
