Folks are talking about the latest interview with the women of “The Real.”
As you may know, a controversy was born after Tamar Braxton was fired from the show.
Many of Tamar’s loyal fans searched for clues on who was behind her dismissal. Many settled on it being Loni’s doing, while the other women played smaller roles.
Well it appears Loni has had enough of taking all the blame.
During the interview with “The Breakfast Club,” Loni had plenty to say.
After Dancing With The Stars, Tamar told Loni she wanted a new manager while they were hanging out at Tamar’s home. She then asked Loni to connect her with Rushion McDonald, Steve Harvey’s former manager.
So Loni gave her Rushion’s number.
Tamar then asked Loni what she should do about Vince. Loni didn’t know what to tell her because the conversation made her uncomfortable. She didn’t want to involve herself in Tamar and Vince’s marriage.
Loni also said that all of them went to visit Tamar when she was hospitalized. When Loni went to the ‘Wendy Williams Show,’ she had no idea Tamar would be fired.
“Why would I go to the ‘Wendy Williams Show’ if I knew my cast mate was going to get fired that next Monday? I got a call on Saturday. They said that Tamar was being let go. I asked a question, we all got on a text and asked what’s going on?
“We call her, she’s not picking up the phone…nothing.”
Social media made things worse.
Things got messy because Loni was the first person Tamar unfollowed on Instagram. So people assumed she was behind Tamar’s firing.
Then Adrienne and Tamera went to Logan’s birthday party to try to talk to Tamar about the situation. But Loni and Jeannie got even more backlash because fans noticed they were not at the party. So fans began to believe both Jeannie and Loni were behind Tamar’s dismissal.
“After all of that happened, I get on a plane to go to Atlanta. Who’s in front? This how God works. Who’s in front of me, first class? Tamar’s sister Towanda. Her sister Towanda said, ‘Loni I am so sorry that this is happening to you. We know you didn’t have nothing to do with it.’
“She said, ‘Well I’ma tell you something. They just did an emergency filming of ‘Braxton Family Values.’ And you need to see the episode'”
A possible lawsuit became necessary.
Loni eventually learned from someone who works at WE tv that a scene or rough cut had been filmed of Vince telling Tamar that all the girls were jealous of her and teamed up to get her fired.
Outraged by this, Loni called her lawyer and her lawyer threatened to hit WE tv with a defamation lawsuit if they aired this scene.
Apparently a blogger got ahold of this unaired scene, and stated that Vince made it seem like Loni had the biggest role in Tamar’s dismissal.
“And you know why I say he does that? Because I gave her the number of Rushion McDonald.”
Loni thinks Tamar may have now figured out the truth.
“I think she’s embarrassed. She knows the truth.”
Loni then said that if Tamar really thought they had something to do with her being removed from the show, then it makes no sense that she sat with them at the Daytime Emmy Awards after the show was nominated.
They also said that Tamar did not invent the show contrary to reports.
Tamar doesn’t speak to any of them anymore.
Tamera Mowry made it clear that she is upset with Tamar’s past social media actions.
“And I would find out how she feels about us via Instagram and Twitter. That’s how I would find out.”
While they are unclear of what actually went down with production and Tamar, Loni feels like Vince knows but hasn’t told Tamar the truth.
