‘She’s Always Been a Baddie’: Tamar Braxton Shows a Little Skin In New Photo as She Showcases the Importance of Self-Love

Tamar Braxton is stepping out into her sexiness again while exuding self-love.

On Tuesday, Feb. 2, she posted a photo on her Instagram story, sitting down wearing nothing but black undergarments and knee-high shoes. In the photo, she wrote, “After all this time I was waiting for that man to love me… thank God he never showed up‼️🥰.” She continued, “I love me…all of me.”

Fans cheered Braxton on with one writing, “Yes Tamar!!!! Now come out with some music cuz I know it’s gonna be 🔥.”

Another person added, “She’s always been a baddie.”

Someone else commented, “I’ve always seen her as a woman who loves herself a whole lot as she should. Just never know what’s really going on on the inside. Team self love.”

Writing words of encouragement to Braxton, someone said, “Yessss, love yourself ma! Love love love yourself! 💝 no one can love you like you, foster your goals like you, bring you joy like you, no one can treat you quite like you.. so love on yourself and make it a standard.” Another person added, “Considering all she went through… this is a good site to see.”

After a year of trauma and a messy break-up, Braxton’s main concern for the past few months has been to focus on her healing. Last year around summertime, it was reported that Braxton attempted to commit suicide after experiencing what she described as a toxic work relationship with WE tv, the company that airs her family’s television show “Braxton Family Values.” While dealing with that, a couple of months later, the 53-year-old also went through a public and nasty split from her then-boyfriend, David Adefeso. Adefeso claimed Braxton domestically abused him while he was driving, which resulted in his vehicle being damaged. Braxton has consistently denied Adefeso’s claims and even spoke of him positively in interviews and on social media.

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.
