Fans Call for ‘Braxton Family Values’ to Have Name Change Following Casting Changes

Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

As the drama surrounding Traci Braxton pressing on with filming “Braxton Family Values,” continues fans are beginning to splinter from the reality star.

A clip from an episode of BFV showing Phaedra Parks‘ debut posted on a “Real Housewives of Atlanta” fan Instagram page shows how the former RHOA star joined the wellness camp with Braxton, Luenell, Natalie Nunn and other famous pals. The episode included a time of wellness and bonding for the ladies as well as goat yoga.

Fans who caught Thursday’s episode seemed less than impressed about the fill-in cast, however. And they lashed out at Traci for leaving her sisters Towanda Braxton, Toni Braxton, Trina Braxton and Tamar Braxton behind to keep filming during the time they refused to show up on the set of the series.

“This is dumb. they should have just done another show instead of the Braxton’s Family Value.”

“So y’all can just call the show #TraciBraxxtonFamilyValues since we’re going on a 4th episode of her alone.”

“So they just doing anything to keep this show on. It’s really not even Braxton family values anymore. They may as well call it Traci’s best friends’ values🤷🏾‍♂️.”

“They should just change the title… it’s really weird and seems rushed and desperate on all parts.”

One fan even accused WE tv, on which BFV is broadcast, of using Traci to muddy contract negotiations between the sisters.

“WEtv is shady af! They used the weakest link, Traci, to ruin contract negotiations. They probably separately approached her with a slight raise in pay, which is a win for WE compared to how much the sisters and mom were asking. Now they have a bunch of reality stars desperate to get some work to fill in, while the sisters and mom are out a cheque they probably been depending on. Mind you this is a show Toni and Tamar led and probably are the main reason a production company got behind them. For Traci to release all her pent-up resentment by siding with WE during a contract dispute is dumb and shortsighted. She didn’t even consider her elderly mom’s income when doing that. Truly a dumbass!”

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.
