Tamar Braxton’s Throwing Shade on K. Michelle Because of Her Past Relationship With Memphitz

I don’t know when Tamar is going to learn to mind her own reality TV business but it needs to happen soon. Apparently during the season premiere of “Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta” she sent out a few subliminal messages about one of the cast members, K. Michelle. The back story is K. used to date Memphitz before he married Toya and though K. Michelle didn’t name names, she did disclose on the premiere that she used to be in love with a man who helped her get a $2 million dollar record deal but said he eventually ‘beat her a**’ and left her with nothing. Memphitz being a music executive at Jive makes him the likely woman beater in the story and apparently Tamar didn’t like that so she got to popping off 140 characters at a time.

In an interview with TT Torrez of IPower 92, K. Michelle explained exactly what happened:

“She was on twitter last night [and] she deleted the tweets because she knows she doesn’t want it with [me]. She better stay over there with ‘Family Values’. She deleted the tweets because people were tweeting me what she said. she was saying to Toya ‘Oh have fun and let this girl sell her fairy tale’ and all I tweeted was that ‘I like Toni anyway,’ because I do. You know me, I don’t mess with anybody until they mess with me and I don’t play them little games. I’m from Memphis, we jump gates! We don’t play in them little games. So until the muppet gets it together she needs to stay away from me.”

What’s interesting is that although she clearly wouldn’t hesitate to get busy with Tamar, many assumed she was scared to talk about her relationship with Memphitz which is why she didn’t put his name out there on the show. She said that’s not the case.

“I wasn’t scared about that because you are only scared when you’re lying and you only get scared when there aren’t any facts. His family still talks to me and they know the truth. For me, it was like, I still try to do it right and not be shady out of respect for Toya and the situation. I did not even say his name. I told my story without saying his name because I did not want it to be like ‘Oh K is throwing shade’ or ‘K is bitter’ no! He probably is a different man now. Different women bring out different things in men. I wasn’t the one to calm him. And I’m not mad at him or her but the one person I am mad at is Tamar Braxton, that muppet, she needs to have several seats.”

Tamar take note.

I’m just happy to see that one of the cast members appears to have some sense. Funny how people want to jump on K. Michelle for telling her own story discreetly and people like Tamar want to jump up and defend something that they don’t have anything to do with. K. handled that entire situation well from not naming names to not insinuating Memphitz is now beating Toya. She gets major points in my book. Tamar should go grab those seats.

What do you think about how K. Michelle handled her past relationship with Memphitz on the show?

    All this is a bunch of crap and frankly no one should be paying any of this any attention. This women says she was beaten. She is making me sick. If she was beaten like she says she was she need to take her evidence to the police. All the he said she said he did, she did. mess is childish. Now if she was beaten like she says and has proof take it to the law or shut the F up. I can’t stand a scorn women. They are dangerous and evil. You don’t play with being a victim of domestic violence. There are too many people out there being abused. She seems to be using this as her platform to fame. Put out the proof or shut the F up about it already.

    I think kmichelle is telling this story to be relevant and get back in the industry,,,there’s a reason why the industry is scared of kmichelle(((herghettoazoutbursts)),,,,,she’s a firecracker when it comes to her attitude, she would get furious when memphitz worked with other women artist,,years later you wanna tell da world cuz u on a show,,cuz ur career at a standstill,,,,im not buying it

  • sassydiva

    Kmichelle didn’t mention his name because the network would of had a law suite if she did not have evidence of this happening,,, this is what his lawyers informed them of,,,,so on that note,,I really don’t believe kmichelle. Us as blk women knows how to provoke a blk man..do I think they had fights Yes,,,do I think she got beaten no,,when you’re beaten this means you don’t fight back and the way she’s hostile an saying I’m from Memphis,,,I know she a beast,,,,she spent her own money,,look at here whole body,,it costs to have allthat done.men shouldn’ t hit women tho but u can’t say he beat you when you storm at him first and get scuffed up

    I like Toya but on this she needs to listen, learn and be quiet! She was not in the relationship! K.Michelle was. Tamar needs to get a life, such a shame to be so rich n so stupid at the same time. Stay in UR lane and worry bout UR husband….VINCE!!!

  • MrzB

    TOYA IS CLASSY SHE DONT NEED TO RESPOND TO ANYTHING THAT DONT APPLY TO HER BOTTOM LINE.

  • KiaJ

    Well done k.michelle

  • missk

    Tamae is just a mess and wants to be seen and heard. She should mind her damn business. K.Michelle was very tasteful in how she described the situation. It’s her story and she was mature by not mentioning any names. I see nothing wrong with what she said at all. No one would have ever known wo it was until things were pointed out and repeated to the public , thanks to tamar and toya. Everyone knows.

    I think the whole situation is messy. this allegedly happened 2-3 years and it has still hasn’t been proven. im not saying it didnt happen but the fact that she didn’t file a police report & no charges were filed. on top of that they way she called him “the love of her life” all giddy like didn’t sit well with me. and i do love her music but if you were familiar with her back in 06-08 when she did vlogs on yt she was always drunk & seemed disturbed. there were reports of ppl backing out of deals & not wanting to work with her because she was unstable and not a pleasure to work with. I ‘ve noticed these vids are no longer up & im guessing that has alot to do with the show coming out.

    • Mel

      I’m not dispute what you’re saying bec. I really dont know these people, but it has to be said that most celebs (esp. women who get beat) would never file a police report. Its way too embarrassing for them and their brand.

    • whats up

      i was beaten by my ex and i never reported it for various reasons. so she probably is telling the truth.

  • golddee

    She told HER truth as she saw it. The truth will stand on its own. So if its a lie it will come out. Tamar might need to mind her business…

    lmao Tamar does look like a muppet. Tamar is always starting stuff and getting into other people’s business on twitter, she needs to go take care of Vince. I found K. Michelle the most enjoyable on the show thus far.

  • bluekissess

    Knock it off already life is to short wasting your breath on senseless people. People are dying of cancer, people are homeless. It makes no sense to me.

  • Miss_Understood

    She handled the situation with her ex well. She should have just ignored Tamar because although she is far from Beyonce, she does have industry connections and K needs to put her career above all because she has a beautiful voice.

    As far as being bitter, maybe she is because she has this song called “Worst man I ever had” that is CLEARLY about their relationship.

    • Ms. Z

      That’s a Beyonce song that K Michelle is covering. A lot of artists do that to showcase their talent and this particular song is one that a lot of sista’s could cover. Ya heard…

  • ElleBee

    I didn’t even know who K. Michelle’s ex boyfriend was. It wasn’t until I watched several reviews of the show on YouTube that I found out who her ex was. I think that she handled the situation very well. Tamar needs to understand that outside of the Braxton Clan, popping off like that will get her cursed out or worse. Stay in your lane Tamar. First Jilly from Philly and now this. Girl Bye!
