‘Sorry to My Lashes’: Tamar Braxton Warns Fans to ‘Pick Ya Lash Girl Wisely’ After This Happened to Her

Tamar Braxton made fans shudder in fear after she revealed one of her most recent beauty horror stories.

The “Love and War” crooner took to Instagram on Monday, Nov. 4, and posted a makeup-free photo of herself with her natural eyelashes missing. She took a selfie, opened her eyes wide and stared down at her camera.

With two to three eyelashes on each eye, Braxton urged her followers to choose “wisely” when picking an employee to put on their fake lashes.

“Whew chile! If these lashes walked right by me I wouldn’t know a thing. Sorry to these lashes 😂😂”

The 42-year-old crooner certainly has a lot to be thankful for nowadays, including her love life. She’s been dating The Pacific Group CEO David Adefeso for going on two years, and he’s been able to see the progress the star has made to wade past her prior pain.

In May, Adefeso explained how Braxton battled through her hardships in a lengthy Instagram comment.

“I have seen her go through a lot these past 12 months. It’s been real tough sometimes,” he said. “It takes a lifetime for many of us to recover from what she went through the last 2-3 years … Many would’ve run and hid, maybe given up the race. But Tamar chose to stay and fight. … You have my full support my African Queen…together forever!”

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.
