Posted byBy Danielle Jones | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

It looks like drama is brewing within the Braxton family. On Wednesday, Oct. 21, Tamar Braxton went on an unfollow spree on Instagram after accusing her family members of faking their reactions in front of We TV cameras to her purported suicide attempt.

A teaser for the new season of “Braxton Family Values” was released earlier in the day on Wednesday, and the prime focus of it was Tamar’s supposed suicide attempt. It begins with Toni Braxton saying “2020 has been a year like never before for me and my family,” followed with a clip of Toni finding out about the incident while in the studio. It then cuts to Tamar’s mother, Evelyn Braxton, and her sisters, Towanda and Trina Braxton, giving their reactions.

Shortly after the arrival of the trailer Tamar took to social media and said, “After waking up to that disgusting trailer…F-CK @wetv and whomever else participating for using my pain for their pleasure and ratings don’t miss my exclusive TELL ALL on my girl @tamronhallshow next week..at some point this abuse HAS to STOP.”

She later took to the The Shade Room’s comments section to further explain, saying, “And just to clarify… I’m not shooting for bfv or any other show for wetv since December of LAST YEAR why are they talking about me?? Wtf??”

A viewer of the clip went on Twitter to give her opinion, writing, “Wait!!!!! WeTv was recording BFV when Tamar was going through it and they still used it for ratings after she voiced her issues with them? This is crazy because I just saw it and WOW!”

Tamar retweeted and commented on the tweet to give more insight on the situation responding, “No pumpkin they wasn’t. it’s ALL re staged for tv. And that’s my fckn issue. Remember @wetv said we have parted ways in August. I am no longer employed by them and they are STILL using me and my hurt to make a coin. What show talks about old cast members?”

Although it was only Evelyn, Trina, Toni and Towanda who were seen giving their reactions, Tamar decided to hit that unfollow button on everyone, including Traci Braxton.

Tamar is giving her side of the story on the “Tamron Hall Show” which will be airing on Oct. 28.

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.
