At a benefit lunch to raise awareness for lupus, singer Toni Braxton revealed she’s been struggling with the illness herself. She told the audience, “Take a look, this is what lupus looks like.” Lupus is a disease that causes the immune system to be unable to tell the difference between a person’s own tissues and foreign tissues, leading to inflammation of various organs. Lady Gaga placed an ad in the event’s program, saying, “Toni, your strength is admirable. As a woman whose family has been affected by lupus, I understand your struggle and have you in my thoughts. —Gaga.” Braxton’s younger sister Tamar is married to Gaga’s manager, Vincent Herbert. After the event, Braxton tweeted: “Had a great time at the 8th Annual Hollywood Bag Ladies Luncheon. A big moment for me. It was a tough decision to come out about it. But it was such a relief!”

Good luck to her.
I have dealt with Lupus in my family as well and it is not fun. I wish her the best of luck there will be good days and bad. Don’t let it slow you down.
Very brave of her to share her story, wish her the best.
Beautiful and a fighter I’m sure.
