The Unbreak My Heart performer admitted said in her VH1 Behind the Music special last October that the split with Lewis in 2009 took a toll on her. 'I had to figure out a plan for my life that had nothing to do with him,' she said. 'I was angry with everybody. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I felt that I was a person dealing with a lot of struggles and here comes another one.'
The singer has endured trouble times in recent years. In 2010 she was diagnosed with lupus while she has had to battle financial problems, filing for bankruptcy twice. She recently settled a bankruptcy case after claiming she had run up debts of between $10million and $50million. The 45-year-old, who filed for Chapter 7 in 2010, agreed earlier this month to pay $150,000 to settle the case, according to TMZ.
The singer previously filed for bankruptcy in 1998 for debts of $3.9million. When she filed for bankruptcy the first time, she said the highly publicised case had taught her a lesson and that she subsequently changed her business strategy. 'I learned that I had to believe in myself and not just to be comfortable with the opinions of others,' she told Ebony Magazine in 2000.
'I'm just more in control; I dot the I's and cross the T's ... I finalise everything.' At the time critics blamed Braxton's erratic behaviour and penchant for breaking appointments for plunging her into debt, whilst others said her expensive tastes (600-thread-count bedsheets and jewellery from Cartier and Tiffany & Co.) were the culprit.
