Tamar Braxton Finally Sells Cali Mansion at a Staggering Loss

Singer Tamar Braxton has finally sold the Calabasas home she shared with estranged husband Vincent Herbert, but for much less than the original asking price.

According to Variety, Braxton sold the home for $9.25 million which is less than what she paid. In 2013, the couple purchased the 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms property for $10.5 million. After their marriage fell apart, the couple listed the property in October 2017 for $15.999 million. After multiple liens and almost foreclosure, their asking price dipped to $13.995 million. When the couple failed to sell the home for that price, they settled for $1.25 million less than that $10.5 million they paid in 2013.

TMZ reported in October that the couple put the home up for sale after filing for divorce. “[I’m] upset about the lies claiming she doesn’t care about me,” Herbert told HipHop Hollywood. He continued, “That’s my wife. I’m really sick of the lies. Sick of all the blogs.”

During the same time of the divorce filing, and the house being put up for sale, Braxton released her most recent album “Bluebird of Happiness” which was to be her last one in order to focus on her marriage. “There are a lot of things that I want to do, and a lot of things that are in the works,” the singer told Entertainment Tonight. She continued, “There’s a lot of things that are going on in my relationship and me being close to this music industry, and whatever I can do to eliminate all of the stress and problems off of my relationship, I would rather do that.”

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
