Recent episodes of the reality show “Braxton Family
Values” reveal singer Tamar Braxton behaving badly in her treatment
of her sisters Trina, Towanda and Traci. This transpires while big
sister, Grammy Award winning singer, Toni Braxton, looks on
perplexed at what fame has done to her younger, not to mention
louder, sibling.
Tamar, so full of hype over her career finally
taking off after 15-years of less than successful attempts, threw
her sisters out of her concert, for surprising her on stage. Tamar
called them “motherf*****s” “bit**es” and “sparkly Teletubbies”
(basically calling them fat) before her tour manager unceremoniously
ejected them from the venue.

sisters ejected from her concert
Tamar is painfully jealous of her sister Toni
Braxton, who became a household name in the 1990s and enjoyed much
success as a recording star at LaFace Records. That jealous keeps
seeping through on the show. You also see why LaFace chose Toni, a
good vocalist and piano player, who is relatively easy to work with.
Tamar has the bigger voice…and ego. The latter producers are wary of
in artists.
Ironically, if it weren’t for Toni, Tamar wouldn’t
have a record deal, as she put the family’s name on the map and took
her sisters on tours with her. Then Toni’s sisters, sans Traci,
received a record deal and earned two moderately successful R&B hits
"So Many Ways" "Only Love" and "The Boss."
Tamar Braxton's self-titled debut CD did not farewell in 2000 due to
the weak lead single "Get None" but had the impressive song "If You
Don't Wanna Love Me." However, sales were low and Tamar was dropped
from her record deal. However, her 2014 CD "Love And War" has become
a hit and it has gone straight to her head.
Not to mention, Toni introduced Tamar to music
manager, Vincent Herbert, who has now helped to make her famous. You
should thank God for your sister. She’s been a blessing to you. Your
other sisters have been there for you as well.
