Lolo Jones’ Alleged Fight With Tamar Braxton May Have Gotten Her Booted from ‘Celebrity Big Brother,’ Fans Cry Foul

Singer Tamar Braxton is making headlines yet again since joining the cast of “Celebrity Big Brother,” and this time, fans think she is to blame for getting roommate Lolo Jones booted off the show.

Braxton, 41, has been beefing with several members inside the house, including Ricky Williams and fellow singer Kandi Burruss, with whom she recently made amends. Her issues with Jones, however, came to a head this week when the two allegedly got into a physical altercation and Jones slapped Braxton in the face, according to The Shade Room.

“Whew chillay! The Internet is in a frenzy after people are claiming #LoloJones and #Tamar Braxton got into some sort of physical altercation in the #BigBrotherHouse! 👀👀 …,” the gossip blog wrote in an Instagram post. Might want to check those hashtags #roomates!”

In recent clips shared online, the Olympic hurdler is seen getting into a heated argument with Braxton inside the CBB luxury bedroom. Their drama later spilled out into the kitchen, where the two continued to yell at one another and get in each other’s faces. That’s when producers cut the live feed.

“Y’all are real funny,” Braxton is heard saying before the feed goes dark.

“I’m not real funny,” Jones replies from bed. “Here’s the problem today, you want me to tell you what happened and then you snap off on me.”

“Don’t start,” the “Love and War” singer shoots back.

At this point, Jones explodes: “I’m gonna f—–g start because you want to tell me … you asked me what the f–k and then you f—–g ‘pop off. So why the f–k wouldn’t I get mad, Tay? You do this every motherf—–g day. Like don’t f—–g start with me!”

Later out in the kitchen, Braxton is heard whispering to Burruss, “the next time somebody calls me a b—h, I’m just gon start yankin’ …”

“Then do it,” Jones says in passing, prompting Braxton to confront her.

It’s unclear what unfolded once the cameras stopped rolling, but fans didn’t seem to take Braxton’s side this time around.

“Tamar, although I love her music, is drama and has a bad mouth and LoLo probably was tired and popped her right in it,” one Instagram user commented.

“Tamar crazy tail will provoke anybody,” wrote another. “Her mouth is reckless and she thinks she can do and say what she wants with absolutely no repercussions. Her family lets her get away with that mess. But everybody won’t. That’s why they kicked her crazy self off @therealdaytime. She won’t last long on this show either.”

One fan simply wrote, “#TeamLolo.”

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.
