Toni Braxton Impersonator Arrested

A woman by the name of Trina Johnson was arrested for setting up concerts in Toni Braxton’s name and then getting on stage and performing as her Lol!

Via Singersroom:

Toni Braxton fans in South America were excited about seeing the “Unbreak My Heart” and “You’re Makin’ Me High” singer on stage this weekend… there was one problem though… Toni was not booked to perform at the show they’d paid for !

According to Suriname sources, an impersonator had fradulently set up concerts in different cities stating that she was Toni Braxton.

Over the weekend the impersonator took to the stage and caused a near riot after fans realized that she, Trina Johnson, was not Toni.

Left surprised, Toni Braxton issued the following statement regarding the situation:

“Many apologies to the fans for the misrepresentation. We are working on finding out exactly what happend and what the whole situation was.”

In a recent article, Trina Johnson, the impersonator, believes she did nothing wrong. Stating she has no idea why people thought the “real” Toni would be there, Johnson says she was there to do an “imitation act” only.

Tickets for the concert were sold for US$20 and US$25 while VIP-tickets were costing US$55.

Mediaoutrage - Lmao she is definitely wildin’. Why would you think there’s nothing wrong with impersonating someone and taking money from innocent fans? Maybe her defense in court will be “Look your honor, it’s a muthaf*ckin recession, what you want?”
