Toni Braxton
May, 31 2009
Toni Braxton? Or not? When the singer took to the stage at a Toni Braxton concert in Paramaribo, Suriname, the unappreciative audience saw fit to jeer and pelt her with bottles. But the singer in question was not the Toni Braxton the crowd had paid to see, it was Trina Johnson-Finn, Toni Braxton impersonator. Disappointed gig goers had paid up to $53 a ticket for the pleasure of seeing somebody who turned out to be a ‘Phony Toni’ and they were justifiably annoyed. Trina was arrested, but at her recent trial her concert promoter, Angel Ventura, assured the court that Trina knew nothing of the deception. Johnson-Finn’s lawyer said of the arrangement, "Ventura told her to go all out as an impersonator and play a role in the whole thing. She thought that everyone knew that she was just an impersonator, but Ventura did not tell anyone in Suriname." The unlucky Johnson-Finn has already spent 3 months in jail awaiting trial, and may face sentencing if the courts fail to believe that she was not party to the deception.
