Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, one-third of the 90s girl group TLC, filed for bankruptcy in 2011, despite the group’s success. Although TLC had multi-platinum albums and hits like No Scrubs, the members faced financial difficulties.

Lawsuits, healthcare costs related to her sickle cell anemia, and poor financial management contributed to her bankruptcy. However, T-Boz made a strong comeback, returning to music and acting.

In 2017, TLC’s Kickstarter campaign raised over $430,000 to fund their final album, demonstrating her resilience despite past struggles.
