‘Braxton Family Values’: Fans Roll Their Collective Eyes at Tamar After She Storms Out of Trina’s Engagement

More drama emerges between the Braxton sisters during a taping of “Braxton Family Values.” During the June 6 episode, the family had taken a trip to Napa Valley, California, on Tuesday, March 26, for family bonding time and to help celebrate Tamar Braxton’s 42nd birthday. Tamar and her boyfriend David Adefeso dined with Trina Braxton and her boyfriend Von Scales and the rest of the family. During the dinner, Scales started to give a speech.

“I didn’t think I would feel this way about another person at this stage in my life. I was wrong about that too. I love you with all that I have.” While Scales was speaking, Tamar huffed and puffed, and was on her phone posting a shady Instagram story while giving the side-eye.

Scales then popped the question to Trina asking her to marry him, and she said a big yes.

While everyone else hugged and cheered for the newly engaged couple, Tamar was visibly upset that Scales proposed to Trina during her birthday celebration. What was supposed to be a joyous time for a family turned into a night of drama as Tamar wasn’t pleased with her birthday gifts of a hot air balloon ride, gift cards, and sunglasses.

Tamar responded to her sister’s engagement with “It’s my birthday though, what the f**k is going on.” She stormed off and even broke up with her boyfriend for 20 minutes, which she blamed on wine.

Fans of the show were very displeased with Tamar’s behavior and let it be known via Instagram.

“Tamar’s behavior this entire trip was disgusting!!!! Period!!!! Her attitude is horrible, 🤦🏽‍♀️” one fan wrote.

“Tamar Braxton acts like a 13 year old child. Her attitude sucks.”

“To be honest. This episode made me sad. I cannot believe Tamar acted like that. After ALL, that Trina has been through!!! How could you do this to your sister?!?!? That was horrible, and everyone saw it smh.”

Tamar seemingly responded to the negative comments via her Instagram story.

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.
