Weeks before Tamar Braxton’s apparent attempt to kill herself, the reality star singer sent an exciting email to her network bosses, accusing them of destroying her family and making her “suicidal,” Page Six has learned.
At the height of the unrest over the murder of George Floyd, WeTV executives emailed employees, including Braxton and his family, who have appeared on network reality shows for more than a decade, describing the Company efforts to support the black community. .
Braxton, who is in stable condition after apparently attempting suicide on Thursday night, responded with a message, seen by Page Six, explaining that his family is “in disarray.”
“We fight among ourselves, we betray ourselves, and now we are physically attacking each other, everything happens because his show [“Braxton Family Values”] You have chosen to show the absolute worst side of a strong, independent, and successful African American family; a program I created to show a strong black family as a beacon of hope for all black girls and boys; instead, he trained us and convinced us to find the worst in each other. “
He compared the network to “cruel white slave masters who once chained our ancestors, and the oppressive police forces that now terrorize our communities,” he added, “I hope those qualifications are worth it because they managed to destroy a large black family.” .
Meanwhile, she said that “the final bet in the heart of my family” was “the day you unearthed a secret that I had never shared with anyone, a secret that I was so embarrassed to talk about that I hid it even from my own account. Mom : The fact that I had been repeatedly assaulted and raped from 6 to 16 years old, sometimes several times a day. ” Braxton said the producers had “exposed him on his show in front of my entire family and 100 crew members.” She added: “You broke me that day and I considered ending my own life because of the shame I felt!”
She finished the email, “I have news for you! Today, I regain my power. I will no longer tolerate being oppressed. I ask you to break the chains NOW and let me go. I am suffocating! I CAN’T BREATHE!
When we informed WeTV that her behavior had caused Braxton to commit suicide, a representative only told us: “We keep her and her family in our thoughts and prayers and join with her fans in sending strength and healing in this difficult time. “
A family member also told us that Braxton was not happy that the chain had selected “Love and Hip Hop” producer Mona Scott Young to produce Braxton’s new show, “Tamar Braxton: Get Ya Life.” “Tamar felt ambushed,” said a source, “she was invited to the network to have a meeting to talk about the program and the premise of the program … and sitting there is Mona. The person she said she didn’t want to work with “
When we told Scott Young that Braxton family members felt that her work on the show contributed to Braxton’s unhappiness in the weeks leading up to her suicide, she replied, “My thoughts and prayers are with Tamar and her family during this difficult time. “
Braxton’s representatives did not comment.
