‘Tamar Has The Same Thing Michael Jackson Had’: Vince Shuts Down Skin Bleaching Rumors

December 6th, 2012 - By Jazmine Denise Rogers

Tamar Braxton is just another name among the laundry list of celebrities who have been accused of  being self-haters and drastically altering their appearance with plastic surgery and skin bleaching. Tamar has of course denied these rumors, but clearly not too many people are buying it. In an exclusive interview with Bossip, both Tamar and Vince open up about these allegations.

“I just want to know what time do I have to do that,” she told the site. “It’s just been crazy. If you really think about it, we’ve been shooting ‘Braxton Family Values’ for two years and then in between that it was ‘Tamar & Vince,’ and now we’re back into production with ‘Braxton Family Values.’ So, ‘When did she change her face?’ I just think I grew up and I don’t look the same that I did when I was 19.”

Vince also felt it necessary to defend his boo boo regarding these allegations.

“It just sounds stupid, you know? I’m sorry that she looks beautiful and people can’t understand it. I tell her not to look at it or read it because it’s just so ignorant. It’s not appropriate. It’s wrong. You can’t satisfy everybody. We know what goes on in our household. I would never be with a vain person like that.”

He also went on to offer an explanation as to why Tamar complexion may seem a bit lighter that it did in prior years.

“Actually Tamar has the same thing that Michael Jackson had.”

Tamar also chimed in on the condition.

“It’s vitiligo, but I don’t really like to talk about it.”

While it certainly has to be difficult to cope with having people constantly point out physical symptoms that come as a result of some form of sickness, people still don’t seem to be buying those vitiligo claims. Tamar could very well be suffering from this disease, but unfortunately this is an excuse that is frequently used by celebs who bleach their skin so many are still just giving her the side eye. Plus they can’t very well expect us to believe she hasn’t had any work done, can they?

What do you think? Is Tamar hiding behind vitiligo claims?

    “I’m just trying to understand how the blackness of his kids has anything
    to do with him having vitiligo or not. It amazes me how people still to
    this day after so many years are still talking about them being his
    kids or not, WHY DOES IT MATTER???”

    Because he sought a WHITE woman to supposedly have the kids with! A Black woman obviously wasn’t good enough! That’s what most people of color don’t like. MJ had self esteem issues, it was widely world known. Please stop trying to defend him, and may he R.I.P. I will always remember MJ as that little brown boy on stage dancing and singing with his brothers. MJ disappointed me when he felt that he had to have a White man looking nose and hair to be accepted. He was super talented, he didn’t need to go and do that.

    Yes please! Look at her newer tapered NOSE! Does that come from “Vitiligo” too??? MJ hid till the day of his death that he had nose jobs, and the thing was falling off! I mean, do they think people are blind?!

    This disease does strike more than just African Americans, light or dark. When it affects someone with lighter skin the splotches appear red. On a light skinned black woman, red blotches are very noticeable, MJ did have it, and i know someone in my extended family has it. I have even seen white people with it. So as far as Tamar saying she has it, I believe her. And i think that its nice that Vince thinks his wife is beautiful. All this hate, is just craziness. Its not like Tamar and her husband are putting food in y’all s house so why so concerned?
    And she probably got the wrong color with her make-up, had to have something that really hides and tones down that red, hence the lighter look. and if she is bleaching so what? thats her choice.

    First of all, she is ‘light-skinned’ but is a beautiful black woman. She doesn’t act white, she’s gloriously ‘hood’ with it at times, talented, funny as all outdoors and I really love her show. The only thing I question is her attraction to Vince. Come on ladies, we know that a 10 won’t usually date a 5-6 and Vince is, well….lacking. He just needs to lose a little weight. I like his personality though and he does take good care of her so what the hell do I know? Either way, leave this girl alone! #Tamartian

    Oh, please! She does not have vitiligo! She just wants to be lightskinned. If all she had was vitiligo then I guess the nose fairy came in the middle of the night to slim down her nose and the weave fairy brought a blond wig to go along with her “medical” transformation.

  • AfricanBambi

    actually, Vince has the same voice Michael Jackson had. (No shade to mike, RIP)

    And also MJ had to stay out of the sun always using umbrellas because it was dangerous for him to be in the sun the only reason people didn’t believe him is because it’s a rare disease that scientists have yet to find the cause so there’s no info on it and because he had appearance issues its clear Tamar is lying its sad nobody had his back before but now they are using him when its convenient

  • eva

    Um vitilligo is genetic you can’t just say I have vitilligo and expect people to believe it without saying who in your family has it Michael’s grandfather had it cousins and his oldest son Michael Jr may have it both of his underarms have white blotches and I believe it may be on his neck too Michael’s autopsy proved he had vitilligo and lupus but no one reported that right? There are actually pics and videos that show his with blotches but people act like they don’t see it in his rehearsal video of captain eo he’s face is brown but his whole neck is white in Remember the time his feet is brown with blotches while his face is white and there are also pics of MJ showing the black spots left on his feet in the 2000s. Like his mother said Michael bleached with cream or got surgery on his upper body to even his skin tone but the rest he left alone also Black or White promo pics show the vitilligo on his hands. It’s very clear MJ wore ns of makeup during off the wall and thriller and also when they auctioned his glove their was brown makeup spots all on the inside where his vitilligo supposedly started. Tamara & Vince need more people Tamar has already made it clear on the show that Vince.LOVES white women so it wouldn’t be surprising if she was bleaching or at least wearing light makeup getting rhinoplasties because of him. But the most amusing part of this is that no one believed MJ had it but now all of a sudden people are claiming it less than 3% of the population has vitilligo and like I said its not contagious it’s genetic this is an excuse for her I don’t understand she’s already light skinned. Nonetheless MJ had appearance issues however in the last 10 years of his life if still followed him you know he came to terms with it and truly accepted himself as black

    All of you haters below need to have several seats.. and if your already sitting down ..stand up and sit down again .. maybe it didn’t activate correctly. Her skin color has nothing to do with you! She has a husband so stop hating she dont want your man. lol.. You can always tell a single baby momma by the hater juice they spill… Better get downty!

      this must go on funniest comments

  • GymJunkie43

    I don’t get it. Middle class people have to lie to get the insurance to pay for plastic surgery IE calling a nose job a deviated septum. Whatevery happened to “I’m rich, I felt like it….keep it moving” ?!

  • Kim

    How the hell is her vitiligo completely even. I have quite a few family member with vitiligo and you skin does not turn all one shade all of a sudden. It takes time and it occurs in patches.

    What does she mean when does she have time. Hell you have time to shower daily don’t you. Tamar is wacky but Vince I kinda expected more from you.
