One person asked, “Why did she wear that?….You would wear sheer with your a– out at a special moment like that? As a parent? Toni is beautiful we all know that, im just saying not appropriate for a child’s graduation, another observer added.”
Braxton did not react to the comments. She later shared a video of her emotional son shedding tears as he stood in line preparing to walk across the stage.

In October 2023, Braxton said that she was doing considerably better following a health scare, which had her showing signs of the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus.
At the time, she was said to be experiencing both “good and bad days.” The 56-year-old emphasized that while she could still stand up on stage and act, she was aware of her limitations.
“For me, occasionally taking the stage or performing has always been difficult. I won’t argue against it,” she noted.
“I wasn’t going to the doctor, and if someone hadn’t pushed me, I might not be in this situation right now if I hadn’t visited the doctor. Going to the doctor and getting that blood test literally saved my life. I’m still here today, because of that,” she added.
