Prior to her breakout role as Toni Braxton, she also appeared as an extra in the N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton (2015).

Her casting as the soulful-voiced R&B sensation Toni Braxton in Unbreak My Heart (Lifetime, 2016) proved to be a major turning point.

Soon after, Lex Scott Davis stepped into her first major recurring television role as Alyse Craig, the intelligent yet jaded wife of Justin Cornwell’s character, in Training Day (CBS, 2017–).
