*Tamar Braxton appeared on “The Wendy Williams Show” on Wednesday (Sept. 18) and dished about her 30-day self transformation challenge and how she’s ready to marry boyfriend David Adefeso.
Braxton also shared an update about her ex-hubby Vince Herbert, and touched on the “lies and deceit” that resulted in the end of their marriage. The “Love & War” singer even addressed her controversial departure from the Emmy-winning daytime talk show “The Real.”
When asked if she would ever return to the show, which Williams described as “cute,” Tamar responded “Here’s the thing. I don’t wanna be anybody’s marketing tool this season. No shade, but I just wish everybody well,” she said.
Williams also noted that “The Real” needs Braxton.
“I just feel like sometimes God has to move you out of situations before you become more toxic yourself.” Braxton continued. “What if I was in a situation where I’m doing Braxton Family Values and it’s very stressful, and I’m doing this other show where people are being catty behind my back? What kind of person would I be right now, sitting on this couch? I wouldn’t be focused. I wouldn’t be ready for my transformation. I wouldn’t be ready for my elevation. And that’s where I’ve got to go. I gotta go up and up and up and up.”

“The Real” aired immediately after Braxton’s appearance on Wendy, and it kicked off with Loni Love addressing both Braxton and Williams’ comments.
“We were just watching Wendy live. Hi, Wendy,” Love said. “First of all, thank you for calling us a cute show. We’re also an Emmy-winning show. So, don’t forget that, sis.”
She then questioned why Braxton’s past drama with “The Real” was even being rehashed as a topic.
“Tamar Braxton was your guest and we appreciate the fact that you brought us up,” she continued. “I just want to be… full disclosure, it’s been three years. I don’t know why you guys keep talking about this whole situation.”
Love went to explain show she has tried to reach out to Tamar and invite her on the show but received “no response.”
“Tamar, nobody is trying to use you as a marketing tool, sweetie,” she said. “You apologized to us over the summer, and we just thought to close this loop… Just like Wendy did yesterday with NeNe [Leakes], that’s all that’s the intention, my dear. You are still welcome anytime. It’s not a big deal. Seriously, we as Black women have to stick together… It’s no pettiness, it’s just… we need to have you come here so we can close the circle. You apologized; we opened it up to you. It is still there, and it will always be there. We love you, Tamar. You are a powerhouse. We know you know us.”
