Tamar isn’t on good terms with her family.
Tamar Braxton has been in the headlines for months now. She has been very vocal about her issues with WE tv. Even though she’s been released from her contract, she called out the network, again, recently. Tamar was furious that in a trailer for the upcoming season of “Braxton Family Values,” her sisters and mother were shown reacting to news of Tamar’s attempted suicide.
Tamar told her fans that her loved ones actually recreated their reactions for the show. And she was disgusted. Not too long after, she unfollowed everyone on Instagram, including her mother Evelyn Braxton.
The Braxtons tried counseling.
Tamar recently appeared on the “Tamron Hall” show.
While discussing the stress she’s been having about everything, Tamar revealed that her family has been trying to get help but they haven’t been successful.
She said, “We went for help. Me and my family. We went for counseling…because the show, it did create a lot of division between me and my sisters and it did create, you know something that was never there which was we couldn’t get along and we couldn’t communicate. We stopped communicating. And we just simply wasn’t a family anymore. And, that help turned into a nightmare for me.”
Tamar explained what led her to try to take her own life, “It was about feeling like I could never be myself and being misunderstood and having the stigma of the angry Black woman all the time. And that’s not who I am. That’s not what I wanted to portray…It wasn’t just about being an angry black woman, it was about real issues coming up on the show.”
Tamar seemingly discussed her alleged altercation with Traci.
On her alleged altercation with Traci Braxton, Tamar said, “I love my family. And I don’t want to fight with my family.”
She continued, “And I want to be an example of a family who fights and argues and always have turmoil. And now we’re at the point where it’s assaults and threats. This is not the show that I created. I created the ‘Braxton Family Values’ because I wanted to be an example part of the Black community with five Black amazing sisters, with all different walks of life, who can inspire and help and people can learn from our experiences along the way. We wasn’t teaching anything but being devilish and I didn’t want to do that.”
She doesn’t believe she’s a victim.
Tamar said that she isn’t innocent in all of this, “I’m not going to sit here and act like a complete victim. I played a part in that. I know what it’s like to keep up ratings and keep up having the number one show on a network and having all of those bells and whistles and that comes with a price. Sometimes you that comes with embarrassing your friends or embarrassing your siblings. I don’t think I sold my soul [to keep the show on]. I don’t think at the time I knew exactly what I was doing.”
She continued, “I think that for the show and for my family we wanted to have a great show and sometimes that is making the deal with the devil and that is doing things that you wouldn’t normally do.”
As far as David Adefeso is concerned, Tamar denied assaulting him. And she also said no one was abused in the relationship.
With her issues with WE tv being front and center, Tamar can assure fans she won’t do another reality show in the future. She said, “I feel like that’s the best thing for me. I don’t feel like I need to give a depiction of my life and what’s happening and a play by play.”
