Tamar Braxton Lashes Out at Phaedra Parks for Joining ‘Braxton Family Values,’ Confirms She’s ‘Not on That Show Anymore’

Tamar Braxton is not a fan of former “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Phaedra Parks joining “Braxton Family Values” — despite the fact that she’s bid farewell to the reality show for good.

The “Love and War” singer had a get together with sister Towanda Braxton on Wednesday night and Tamar held nothing back when she spoke about how Parks got on their family’s show.

“Who’s not a Braxton, Towanda? Who? Phaedra Braxton not a Braxton?” Tamar says through an Instagram voice filter on Aug. 22. “C’mon, let’s do a toast. Let’s do a toast to the Braxton wannabes. To Phaedra Braxton … Maybe she’ll be funny and great.”

Adding more fuel to the flames, Tamar added in the caption before she removed it, “When you are not called OR ordained!! _/ have several with a seatbelt 💺🛫 #gtfoh #ifuseemeknowigotmycoin💰💸 #pettyREALbraxtons🙄.”

The post comes after Parks appeared with Traci Braxton on “Good Day New York” earlier this week to confirm she’s going to be on BFV during the second half of the sixth season.

“We just knew a DMV diva and a southern belle sweetie would cause a lot of chaos,” Parks explained. “So we’re all about it.”

Parks’ addition to the show — along with appearances from  Kym Whitley, Tiffany “New York” Pollard and Flavor Flav — comes after mom Evelyn Braxton and all the Braxton sisters excluding Traci failed to show up on set. The refusal was reportedly due to concerns over unfair payment. A more recent report says filming has since resumed but it’s not clear if the payment disparity has been settled.

Meanwhile, folks in Tamar’s comments section have been sounding off.

“We need answers??? Do you all not own the right to your own show @tamarbraxton. The fans are so confused. Love me some Phaedra but how did she become a Braxton?”

“If you need hateraide lessons [you’re] in the right place @tamarbraxton will give it to you best.”

“Phaedra Parks on the Braxton’s? Sounds thirsty to me that’s not going to work. What she going to be ur brother’s love interest lol😂”

One exchange led Tamar to confirm she’s no longer on BFV at all.

“@tamarbraxton when yours [sic] friends are on more than 1 episode it’s not a cameo anymore sis,” one user said during a back and forth about Parks’ full-time status versus making a guest appearance.

“@chrissy_natalya but the point is it wasn’t “the Braxton’s” it was MY show with MY friends!! I could give a s— really… I’m not on that show anymore 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m here for my family support,” Tamar said in response.

Still independent.

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.
