Toni, while being messy, inadvertently shows she's been bleaching.

The family already knew the dad couldn't sing so all that laughing and fake embarrassment was unnecessary. He wanted to do something nice for Trina (and to be seen with his flashy self). It hits different when professional singers are laughing at someone sing. Like get over yourself.

Anyway. Toni puts her hand up to her face and her hand is her true color which is about 3-4 shades darker than her face is now. I know there's been a few of us that suspected bleaching and it looks like we were right.

Start the video at 10:50.

But she was never dark to begin with so what’s the point of her bleaching. I remember in the early seasons she claimed it was because she used to tan

That difference seems so minor IMO could be make up, hyperpigmentation. Most blacks are not one color hands and face could be a couple shades difference.

However I am surprised to see someone with this level of celebrity with this shade difference?

If she were bleaching IMO she would do it more unformly with Gluta etc

Looks like she wears make up that's a lot lighter. It's no different, to me, whether you use makeup, lighting, or bleaching to make yourself appear lighter. It's all for the same reason.

I'm just going to go on a whim and say that maybe one of the many side effects of Lupus is that it can change the skin's melanin production? I've never noticed a difference in her skin color but the pic that was posted above make me side eye her a little, idk.

I always thought she was darker back then than she is now.

She and Babyface seemed to be about the same complexion in the early 90s.

It's clear that family has issues surrounding color. Toni and Tawanda were always the darker sisters while Tamar was the lightest and Trina and Tracy were in the middle. Their brother is darker but not as dark as Towanda, IIRC.


Pre nose job, pre bleach Toni was the color of her hands:

The difference looks more stark in the video, imo.

I noticed that also and talked about it in another thread. It could be a side affect of the Lupus but then again her foundation is too light.

I'm pissed that we even talking about this instead of this legend's new songs:unsure:. I hate that Toni is doing something better than being on this show dressing for wrong attention.

She has Lupus, I do as well. The main medicine we take for it requires us to not be exposed to sunlight. So much so we have to take Vitamin D pills so we don’t lack. If we were to go out in the sun, like to the beach, the park, not only would the sun drain us of all our energy it would also cause sores/rashes. I look like a ghost especially cuz of the pandemic, I scared my neighbor.


Lupus also causes hair loss, weight loss, bloat, extreme fatigue. Stress manifests itself into physical sickness. Cuz our bodies are attacking itself. She’s always late cuz it’s a struggle to even get showered and dressed sometimes. Imagine waking up on a random day feeling like you’ve been hit by a bus & extremely hungover or drugged and the same feeling 3 days later. She really does too much as it is.

Sorry to hear that. How does this explain her hands being darker and closer to her complexion at the beginning of her career? Wouldn't her whole body be lighter?

Their brother, Traci, and Tamar are the lightest I thought. I agree on her being closer to Babyface's complexion.

More recently..but she seems even lighter than this now:

She could be bleaching but her skin tone has always fluctuated a lot. She wears the wrong colour foundation + concealer, regardless. They all do --Toni, Evelyn, Tamar etc ... With possible exception of Traci (and even she isn't the shade she prefers to wear), none of them are yellow toned.

Towanda and Trina are the darkest. Tamar is the lightest. Traci is on the lighter end of the spectrum too but she tends to look lighter than she is because her skin has more "brightness" (warm gold tones) to it than her sisters who are have more of an olive/gray skin base tonally.

Girl I really regret getting into this show because it’s giving me Toni in a different light. I’m not going to lie but I’m biased against her because she’s one of my favorite artists but with somethings, I have to give her a side eye.

So many questions here.

What you say about Toni complexion in the 90s I always ask here but never got a scientific answer.

Naomi Campbell was considered darker than today's Gabriel Union I believe Kelly Rowland too.

Those two also Charlamagne case opened my eyes. Is it possible that black people can and will become lighter once they exfoliate better etc.Charlamagne was considered dark dark in the black community but after that doctor got the hypigmentation outside of him, he is brown. Question is how many "black and dark" people are actually born like that?

I don't know if she bleaching. But I do know lupus can fuk up your skin, the disease itself and the steroids you take to treat it can affect the skin. The face can get splotchy and uneven and skin can feel/look "thin". Plus you put the sunblock on the places that get exposed to the sun and some people use umbrellas, some wear gloves, some wear long sleeves. Any combination of this you can end up with skin darker in some places than in others.

Toni has lupus, so she probably is doing like MJJ to get her skin and even tone.


The family already knew the dad couldn't sing so all that laughing and fake embarrassment was unnecessary. He wanted to do something nice for Trina (and to be seen with his flashy self). It hits different when professional singers are laughing at someone sing. Like get over yourself.

Anyway. Toni puts her hand up to her face and her hand is her true color which is about 3-4 shades darker than her face is now. I know there's been a few of us that suspected bleaching and it looks like we were right.

When they all get done up, something is always too light. Usually just too light on the concealer. It makes it easier to take photos, but full body doesn’t work well without retouch.

Agreed

People who drag people for skin bleaching but wear foundation 5+ shades lighter than any part of their body get a SKRONG as side eye from me! Your sh!t may not be permanent, but your endgame was the SAME, booboo!

To be fair my mother’s skin is like that. Her hands have always been darker than her face and neck. I noticed it a long time ago because our hands are the same color and she’s lighter than me every where else but her hands are my shade.

Lupus wreaks havoc on your body So in between steroids and other medicines I don't think she would dare bleach. My friend had her whole upper torso on her back turn white from Lupus.

Exactly. This whole thread is pretty stupid considering Toni has lupus.

I know this post is old but i remember years ago around 2005 or 2006 Toni said she accidentally burned her hands while cooking and had surgery. I don’t think she is bleaching. I think she has always been light brown in complexion and her audition tape from the 80s has her with the same complexion she is today.

That is an idiotic way of thinking. I am not related to Toni. I simply stated her complexion now is no different than her 90s complexion when she did not tan. Which one of the Houstons are you? You joined this site on January 23, 2012 and when I search by your username I see numerous posts from you in January and February 2012 about Whitney Houston.

Difference btw us is on the very day you joined this site, you came in here and made one and ONLY ONE post about this Braxton girl. And for three weeks that remained your one and ONLY post. And as of now, every post you EVAR made on this site (all 8 of them) were about this Braxton girl.

Exhibit A:

I know this is an old thread and maybe it was mentioned. But I think it has something to do with lupus and the medications you take. I knew someone who had lupus (they are dead now) and they had really bad flair ups and they got lighter and ashier looking. Like I said I don't think it is the disease but some kind of medication and/or treatment you get for it. Notice Toni's skin doesn't just look lighter it almost looks like an ashy/gray lighter.
