Vincent Herbert Remains Quiet, Tamar Braxton Responds to Loni Love’s Comments About Her Firing from ‘The Real’

Tamar Braxton has apparently caught wind of her “The Real” co-hosts chatting about her Friday and she seems to have responded to their take on her firing two years ago.

During a chat on “The Breakfast Club” Oct. 12, Loni Love directly tackled the elephant in the room. She made it clear that she nor Tamera Mowry-Housley, Adrienne Houghton and Jeannie Mai had anything to do with getting Braxton kicked off the daytime talk show. Love pointed to Braxton having her husband, Vince Herbert come on board as her manager as the root of why things took a dive between the singer and her former co-hosts.

The comedian said she learned about a rough cut of “Braxton Family Values” and Herbert had called out “The Real” hosts and blamed them for Braxton getting the boot.

“I called my attorney I said, ‘You gotta call WEtv and let them know that if they’re naming us, we’re going to have to have legal action because we had nothing to do with this defamation of character,’” Love explained.

By noon that day, Braxton seemed to have made it known that she wasn’t going to give the discussion any attention. Instead, she’s leaving things up to a higher power.

“Alexa play ‘the battle is not yours it’s the Lords’ by @yolandaadams 🗣 If he fixed my edges he can fix ANYTHING 🙏🏾🤣,” Braxton said in the caption of a photo of the star turned to the side with her full hairline on display.

Fans peeped he shade thrown at her former colleagues, who said they haven’t heard from Braxton since she was canned in 2016.

Braxton’s followers then shared their thoughts on the situation in the comments.

“simply get together and talk. it’s not that serious. loni said she don’t mind talking. you a better person? take a leap and have a simple convo. pettiness gotta stop 🙄”

“hammock neck Loni is obsessed with you.”

“They have a right to tell their truths!”

“Absolutely they didn’t even go in, Loni just told they side….they ain’t diss Tamar either.”

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.
