‘Braxton Family Values’ Starts Filming Again Amid Questions About Tamar Braxton’s Involvement

WEtv’s “Braxton Family Values” is back in production over a month after the famous stars refused to continue shooting over a payment dispute.

Tamar, Toni, Towanda, Trina and mom Evelyn Braxton were reported to have all ditched shooting in June, with sources claiming to TMZ that only Traci Braxton, showed up to the Atlanta set. As such, crews working on the musical family’s show shut things down.

But now, it appears the family has apparently come to some kind of agreement as fan Instagram account Tamar Chronicles said filming for the second half of the sixth season has resumed.

Still, it said it isn’t known if the women have successfully renegotiated their contracts with production company Magical Elves. Their initial issue was that they were not being paid as much as they felt they deserved.

This news comes less a week after a first-look promo for the next half of the season dropped on WEtv’s YouTube page. It focused on the sisters helping Toni prepare for her marriage to Birdman while hinting at some mysterious news involving the family.

But fans took notice of the fact that Tamar was nowhere to be seen in the new footage from this season.

“But I’m gonna need Tamar to be there too!! 😠”

“[Tamar] is not in any of the previews.”

“I think it’s safe to say she’s not going to be a part of this season at all.”

Recently, fans who have heard that BFV is back to filming are looking forward to what’s to come when the second half airs Thursday, Aug. 16 at 9 p.m.

“Looking forward to the DRAMA! I love Ms. Evelyn because she don’t play. She’s a Real Black Momma lol. She’s not here for TV.”

“Yes gawd but the show is kinda boring without Tamar.”

“All they do is argue with each other 😔 I just want them to get along all the time, no matter what. 😢”

Others have continued to speculate about Tamar’s involvement.

“Will Tamar be in the new season??”

“Tamar’s not going to be on it and the rest of the ladies have clearly moved on its just time to let go they can’t heal while the cameras are rolling.”

“Is Tamar coming back too?”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
