I was listening to last week’s episode of The Read when they broke some news for me. We’ve reported that the Braxton Sisters were meeting with Iyanla Vanzant for the finale of their show “Braxton Family Values,” a show many of the sisters had been absent from for the past several episodes.
The last we wrote, Toni and Tamar seemed to be having what appeared to be a productive conversation about their annoyances and grievances with one another. (Toni shared that she was disappointed by Tamar’s animations.)
But in a since deleted tweet from Tamar’s page, she flat out explained that the session didn’t go as they thought it would. In fact, Tamar and her sisters walked out of that episode as well. Afterward, Tamar shared her thoughts about the experience.
In response to a man who wrote: “I TOLD yall that b*th was a fraud. I f*cking told y’all.”
Tamar wrote: “U did! Rhonda is the DEVIL!!! Trust me!!! Smh.”
Naturally, when she tweeted this we didn’t know why she might feel this way but apparently, that came out too.
Yesterday, we reported that Tamar told Wendy Williams that she was molested by family members as a child. That sexual abuse was the catalyst for the experience with Iyanla.
“I’ve been battling myself on whether or not I want to say really what happened or not. But I’m Tamar and I’m real. A lot of things happened to me during my childhood that I was too afraid to talk about or too ashamed to talk about. But the truth of the matter is, I’ve been molested by both sides of my family and it’s nothing I ever talked about. And I never thought that I would sit around a table with Iyanla, who’s here to talk about me and my sisters and their problems and basically sex-shame me in front of everybody.”
Today, in an Instagram post she wrote that Vanzant forced her to reveal that sexual trauma in front of a room full of people and then sex-shamed her because of it. See what she wrote in her Instagram post from earlier today.

A lot.
All of this makes me really interested to see how this whole thing went down with Iyanla. In the meantime, you can watch the full Wendy Williams show episode here or in the video below.
