Toni Braxton and her one regret in life
The American singer and songwriter, Toni Braxton has achieved a lot in her life and career. She is overall happy with her life. But recently when she spoke to The Guardian, she revealed that she does have one regret in her life. She feels that she did not go wild partying and fooling around much.
Toni said:
“I regret not having more sex when I was younger,”
The talented singer added:
“I should have drunk more. I should have partied more. Smoked more, even. I think my religious upbringing stopped me doing a lot of things that I should have done. It’s not a good look at the age I am now. The way it works is you do that stuff in your 20s and 30s and then in your 40s you’ve earned enough to pay for the therapy.”
Toni explains the reason for it
The singer reasoned out that this was due to her religious upbringing. She was brought up in several religions. But all of these considered premarital sex a taboo and a sin. She told the media outlet:
“When I was seven, my family became very religious,”
“We were Jehovah’s Witnesses; we were Catholic — we tried everything before settling on United Methodist. I asked my mum once what they were searching for and she just replied: ‘It was the ’70s.’ The ’70s were a very religious era. I think a lot of people were looking for the right path.”
Currently, the singer does not follow any religion. She added:
“I wouldn’t say I was religious, but I am spiritual. I believe in a greater force.”
How Toni was discovered for her talent?
Toni also spoke about how her talent came to light. She elaborated:
“I was in college and one day I was at the gas station, singing to myself while I filled the car,”
“The attendant [William E. Pettaway Jr., writer of “Girl You Know It’s True,” by Milli Vanilli] comes up to me and tells me he likes my voice and that he’d like to do some demos with me. I thought it was just a line, but I went with it and here I am. He went on to buy the gas station!”
Toni does know that people think it is just a fairy tale and hence unbelievable. She said:
“Nobody believes how I was discovered,”
“They think it’s a story for publicity, but it’s absolutely true.”
Her latest album is “Spell My Name” which was released more than a week back now.
