A Toni Braxton impersonator is locked up after trying to pass herself off as the real Mccoy out in the Caribbean:

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 happened 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.

20 dollar tickets to see Phoni Braxton? F*ck that.

    DEATH OF A BLACK WOMAN

    While struggling with the reality of being a human instead of a myth, the strong black woman passed away.
    Medical sources say she died of natural causes, but those who knew her knows she died from being silent when she should have been screaming, smiling when she should have been raging, from being sick and not wanting anyone to know because her pain might inconvenience them.
    She died from an overdose of other people clinging to her when she
    didn’t even have energy for herself.
    She died from loving men who didn’t love themselves and could only offer her a crippled reflection.
    She died from raising children alone.
    She died from the lies her grandmother told her mother and her mother told her about life, men & racism.
    She died from being sexually abused as a child and having to take that truth everywhere she went every day of her life, exchanging the humiliation for guilt and back again.
    She died from asphyxiation, coughing up blood from secrets she kept trying to burn away instead of allowing herself the kind of nervous breakdown she was entitled to, but only white girls could afford.
    She died from being responsible, because she was the last rung on the ladder and there was no one under her she could dump on.
    The strong black woman is dead.
    She died from being a mother at 15 and a grandmother at 30 and ancestor at 45.
    She died from being dragged down and sat upon by un-evolved women posing as sisters and friends.
    She died from tolerating Mr. Pitiful, just to have a man around the house at 20

    She died from sacrificing herself for everybody and everything when what

    she really wanted to do was be a singer, a dancer, or some magnificent other.

    She died from lies of omission because she didn’t want to bring the black man down.
    She died from tributes from her counterparts who should have been matching her efforts instead of showering her with dead words and empty songs.
    She died from myths that would not allow her to show weakness without being chastised by the lazy and hazy.

    She died from hiding her real feelings until they became hard and bitter enough to invade her womb and breasts like angry tumors.
    She died from always lifting something from heavy boxes to refrigerators all by herself.
    The strong black woman is dead.
    She died from never being enough of what men wanted, or being too much for the men she wanted.
    She died from being too black and died again for not being black enough.
    She died from being misinformed about her mind, her body & the extent of her royal capabilities.
    She died from knees pressed too close together because respect was never part of the foreplay that was being shoved at her.
    She died from loneliness in birthing rooms and aloneness in abortion center=.
    She died in bathrooms with her veins busting open with self-hatred and neglect.
    And sometimes when she refused to die, when she just refused to give in she was killed by the lethal images
    of blonde hair, blue eyes and flat butts , being rejected by the O.J.’s, the Quincy’s, the Cuba ‘s, & the Kobe ‘s.
    Sometimes, she was stomped to death by racism & sexism, executed by hi-tech ignorance
    while she carried the family in her belly, the community on her head, and the race on her back!
    The strong black woman is dead!
    Or is she? No she isn’t, not if she’s reading this!!!!!!!!!!!

    @Brittany – no Suriname is a country in northern South America on the Caribbean coast. It’s a former Dutch Colony (I believe it was called Dutch Guyana at one time).

    Toni can unbreak my heart any time!

    Im confused is that pic the Real Toni Braxton??? I liked the impersonator’s comment though “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” LMAO

  • MrsLaadee

    WTF Toni! Where in the hell is her bra? I can’t believe her husband would let her come out the house like that.

    @Brittany

  • mooiboi

    I’m from Suriname and it’s in South America!!
    i did not go to the show, but the fans almost killed her. She had to be protected by security and police.

    But she is safe now, enjoying her free stay in prison!!

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion here is an update and the real story.

    Johnson hit the stage February 27 to a crowd of about 1,500 people. The crowd started booing Johnson because they thought they were attending a Braxton concert. Concert goers rushed the stage. Raymond Finn rushed to his wife’s aid and was arrested along with his wife.
    The event hit all of the Suriname news papers. Newspaper reports claim Johnson attended a press conference stating she was Braxton’s manager and said Braxton was excited to perform. After the shows chaos reports stated the two were detailed by police and immediately released after Johnson produced the contract. This apparently is not the case.

    Currently, The two Americans are the only ones being held and have been sitting in a Suriname jail for nine days with no end in sight. There seems to be little effort to locate Suriname promoter Angel Ventura who disappeared without paying any of his concert production vendors.

    In a strange series of events, they’ve had two court hearings. During the first hearing, the judge gave the prosecutor a few more days to build his case. At the second court hearing, the judge gave prosecutors more time to gather information while refusing to accept pertinent information from the defense attorney.

    All of this according to Finn who was able to make one phone call to a friend in the Bay Area.
    He says all of the allegations are not true and that his wife is innocent. And that the High Profile nature of the case has created an extremely bias procees with little objectivity.
    They simply refuse to review the evidence that proves our innocence.
    The US company that hired Johnson, RNRH Entertainment in Nevada says that they produced the contract at proves that Johnson was not involved in misconduct yet they (Suriname Authorities) question the legitimacy of the impersonator’s contract and the existence of RNRH Entertainment. (Proof of the current Nevada Business License was provided)

    Raymond Finn says he was arrested for no reason. He says his only crime was to rush to his wife’s aid while she was on stage.
    There exist no evidence that Raymond Finn was involved in deception facilitated by the Suriname promoter Angel Ventura.

    If the two are convicted of these crimes, reports out of Suriname say they could spend three years in prison.

    I was origionally contacted for this gig in South America and turned it down as it seemed “ODD and not up to the regular standards many past gigs have been” to me. I don’t wish this kind of scam on anyone and am thankful I did not go, BUT I truly and firmly believe that you as an entertainer MUST DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, GET BACKGROUND CHECKS-GET NAMES-PHONE #S WHATEVER INFO you can to better insure your own safety regardless of WHO the CLIENT is OR the AGENT to whom books you is..ITs better to have every little thing U NEED in writing SO THAT IF anything goes terribly wrong you have YOUR END COVERED.. I NEVER MIS REPRESENT THAT I AM A LOOKALIKE TALENT… AND NO AMOUNT OF $$$$( and beleive me I can use money at this ppoint in my life but am not into lying NOR deceiving anyone) WOULD EVER MAKE ME DO SO..BUT you have to be careful of those out there who may want to pass you off as the real deal.whether it be the client or a bad seed agent…It sounds to me that I def made the right decision in NOT going due to my gut feeling but I hope they are able to resolve this and the truth comes out…ENTERTAINERS BE CAREFUL AND PROTECT YOURSELF!! ITs fun to entertain but we are just that entertainers NOT the real deal although some may think its fun to pretend to be the real deal it can only lead to further distruction….
