Toni Braxton is taking aim at Oprah Winfrey in a new interview, saying the TV titan wasn’t very nice to her during an 1998 interview about the singer’s financial problems.
The R&B star insists the TV chat severely damaged her reputation after the host made some choice remarks about her over-spending which led Braxton to declare bankruptcy.
In a taped interview with VH1 for a Behind The Music special, the singer says, “She was so frickin’ mean to me, I was in shock.
“She said, ‘I hear you have Gucci flatware; I’m Oprah Winfrey and I don’t have Gucci flatware…’ You didn’t have Gucci flatware because you didn’t wanna buy it; it’s not because you couldn’t afford it.”
Squeezing her thumb and forefinger together, Braxton recalls, “She made me feel this big.”
