Ashlee Braxton recently went public with controversial allegations involving her famous aunts.

The Braxtons” wrapped up a controversial premiere season thanks to the focus being placed on Traci Braxton‘s son and husband. Fans of the show accused the sisters of exploiting Traci’s death and family for a storyline. Regardless, Towanda Braxton and Trina Braxton stood by their strong dislike of Kevin Sr. Producers tried to bring Kevin Sr. on the show. They wanted him to tell his side amid the messy accusations made. However, Trina and Towanda said they would quit the show if he filmed. Ratings were bleak. By the season’s conclusion, some said they would be fine if the Braxtons never did another show.

Well, the Braxtons are back in the headlines. Their niece, Ashlee Braxton, has been speaking out on social media. Ashlee’s father is Michael Braxton, Jr.

Ashlee made waves online after she alleged that one of her aunts no longer speaks to her. According to Ashlee, the unnamed aunt’s partner at the time allegedly sent her inappropriate texts when she was 16. The aunt cut her off after initially being supportive.

“So, I wanna tell a story today and that story is about how one of my aunts and my family do not talk to me because they think that I at the age of 16 did something with a partner at the time. And I have been a nervous wreck to talk about something like this and to tell this story—A, because of my family. B, because I don’t want people…it’s not to hurt people to tell my story. But at the same time, I’ve been working through this so much in therapy and this is something that goes way deep to my core and in terms of worthiness and how I feel about myself,” Ashlee said.

She continued, “One of my aunts does not talk to me because she felt like I did something with her partner at that time. And nothing happened but I’m gonna try to tell the story quickly and also not name any names. So I was with this aunt for the summer with my sister. And I can’t remember how much time has passed since we were there in the summer for a little bit of time until we got home. My stepmother was going through my phone and she found this conversation, this sort of conversation. And she showed it to my dad and my dad called the aunt and we spoke about it. We talked about it a little bit.”

Ashlee said she eventually noticed a change in how her aunt treated her.

“She was very nice and I felt safe. But then as the years have gone by, it’s like that mood and that assumption that I didn’t do anything because I was a child was not that assumption anymore. And it boggles my mind because it was like if it happened or if it was true, then that would make him a…you know, and you’re okay with that? That’s what you would like to hear? And I will just never forget how when I got older I just realized that I really had to take the time and go back to that part of my life and understand how much feeling like I didn’t matter, that I was unworthy…it just felt like love from my family is cut off and gone. And you’re like, but wait, that guy?”

She added, “And it made it even worse because it was like wait, this guy that was doing this to you on TV. And it’s kind of like in cohorts in the same spirit of what was happening. Not in the same cohorts but in the same spirit.”

  1. Smh I sware this social media thing, no one deals with their family in private anymore knowing good and well people will want to know which sister! So now that she’s gotten everyone attention let’s see how this plays out 🤦‍♀️

  2. This is why Trina and Towanda wanted to make everything about Traci’s son and husband. They have dirt they don’t want to talk about. It’s sick to blame a child for a grown man coming on to her.

  3. Whichever sister it is should be ashamed of themselves, because this is your niece and at 16 for a grown man to be texting a child in my eyes he’s a predator. For her aunt to cut her off and not the grown man texting her. That aunt should be ashamed of herself and she needs therapy. Not going to go deep into this, but shame on you AUNTIE!!!
