Joyce was only eight years old when the drama began. Her mother would take a flat stone and heat it over the fire for several minutes until it was burning. "She protected her hands because she knew it was really hot.

 She took it, pressed it against my breasts and massaged them really well," recalls Joyce, now 25 years old. "It was very, very painful... I had to run away from the house. It was horrible."

TLC's T-Boz Files for Bankruptcy

Who would have ever thought that a member of one of the best selling girl groups of all time could go broke?

From TMZ

According to docs filed last month in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, T-Boz (real name Tionne Watkins) found herself owing creditors $768,642.99 -- mostly from mortgages on her $1.2 million house.

The docs don't paint a picture of exorbitant spending -- she takes in $11,700/month in income, with monthly expenses totaling $8,821.

TLC had ten top ten singles, four number one singles, four multi-platinum albums, and four Grammy Awards ... but according to the docs, T-Boz only pulls in $1,200/month in royalties.

T-Boz might have dodged the bankruptcy bullet if she'd been able to collect the child support she claims she's owed -- which according to the docs is $250,000.
