PREVIOUSLY, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

IT'S BEEN A MINUTE SINCE THE WHOLE FAMILY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER.

UH-UH-UH-- OH!

EVERYONE'S GETTING ALONG, SO FAR.

THIS IS NOT MY IDEA OF SISTER AFTERNOON FUN-- THIS IS WHACK.

I CAN'T BELIEVE TAMAR DIDN'T COME.

SHE HAD A TANTRUM TODAY.

I FEEL LIKE THERE'S MORE TO THE STORY.

- WHERE'S TAMAR? - SHE DIDN'T WANNA COME.

THAT'S MADNESS.

YOU'RE ACTING LIKE FOOLS, IF I MUST SAY MYSELF.

NOBODY WANTS TO HANG OUT WITH ME.

NOBODY WANTS TO CALL-- NOBODY WANTS TO COME OVER.

YOU HAVE BEEN VERY, VERY SNEAKY.

BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN TREATING ME!

THAT WASN'T THE REALITY!

I JUST TOLD YOU WHAT THE 100% TRUTH IS.

- OH, MY GOD! - AND YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT IT!

YOU'RE MISSING IT-- YOU'RE MISSING IT.

I LOVE YOU, BOO-- I CAN'T DO THIS.

OF COURSE, YOU CAN'T.

WE ARE THE BRAXTONS AND YOU'LL SEE

THAT WE ARE NOT LIKE AN ORDINARY FAMILY

TONI TRACI TOWANDA TRINA TAMAR AND MISS E

WILL TEACH YOU A THING OR TWO ON BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES

- DON'T FALL. - HI. - TAMAR, HI.

NICE TO SEE YOU, AGAIN.

SO, I'M BACK ON MY PRESS TOUR TO PROMOTE MY SINGLE,

"LOVE AND WAR."

AND TODAY, I'M CO-HOSTING "ANDERSON COOPER LIVE."

I'VE DONE ANDERSON'S SHOW BEFORE,

AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT BECAUSE ANDERSON

IS THE MALE VERSION OF TAMAR, REALLY.

I WAS HOPIN' I WOULD BE BACK IN L.A.

IN TIME TO GO SEE TONI'S SHOW.

YOU WON'T BE?

WE WON'T BE.

NUMBER ONE, WE'RE HERE, AND THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS

THAT'S BEEN ADDED TO THE SCHEDULE.

TONI'S PERFORMING FOR A BIG CHARITY EVENT HONORING BARRY MANILOW.

AND, ONCE AGAIN, I'M SO SORRY, BUT SHE CAN'T MAKE IT,

AND SINCE THE CANADA TRIP DIDN'T EXACTLY END WELL,

I REALLY WANTED TO BE THERE FOR TONI,

SO SHE KNOW I WASN'T TRYING TO THROW HER NO SHADE.

HAVE YOU TALKED TO TONI?

TELL HER YOU WASN'T GONNA MAKE IT?

UM, YEAH.

I JUST, UM, SHOT HER A TEXT.

I KINDA FEEL BAD A LITTLE BIT.

BUT, WHAT CAN I DO, YOU KNOW?

I GUESS YOU CAN'T GO TO EVERYTHING, HUH?

THIS IS TRUE.

YOU ARE TRYING TO BE ON TOP.

EVERYBODY WANT ME TO GROW UP, HUH?

THIS IS GROWIN' UP.

TAKE YOUR PICK.

OKAY, WHICH ONE YOU WANT?

NOW, THIS IS A TIME WHEN I'D LIKE TO SEE

ALL OF MY SISTERS HERE, CHEERING ME ON.

TOO BAD I AIN'T GOT THAT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HANG OUT

WITH ME NO MORE.

...AND IS BACK WITH, UH, TAMAR BRAXTON, MY CO-HOST.

THAT WAS, UH, THAT WAS PART OF YOUR NEW SINGLE.

YEAH, THAT'S MY SINGLE CALLED "LOVE AND WAR."

- "LOVE AND WAR." - YEAH.

AND-AND THIS SINGLE DEBUTED NUMBER ONE ON ITUNES.

IT DID-- IT WAS JUST SO CRAZY.

I WENT TO BED, AND I WOKE UP, AND IT WAS NUMBER ONE.

- THAT'S CRAZY. - I'M LIKE, "OH, MY GOSH!"

- HAS THAT-- - YEAH, IT WAS CRAZY.

I DON'T- I DON'T- I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE HEARD THAT HAPPENING BEFORE.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S EVER HAPPENED BEFORE BECAUSE,

YOU KNOW, IT'S A R&B RECORD, AND IT DEBUTED NUMBER ONE

ON R&B AND NUMBER ONE ON POP.

SO, IT WAS SO CRAZY. - YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF FANS.

WELL, YOU KNOW, I HAVE L-LITTLE TAMARTIANS THAT LOVE ME, I GUESS.

THAT'S VERY NICE.

I SAW, ACTUALLY, A TWEET FROM LADY GAGA,

UH, WHO TWEETED, UH, TWEETED ABOUT IT.

SHE SAYS, "I NEVER PROMOTE ARTISTS, BUT IF YOU WANT YOUR MIND BLOWN,

"CHECK TAMAR BRAXTON, HER 'LOVE AND WAR.'

"SHE'S TONI BRAXTON'S SISTER, AND HER VOICE IS BEYOND."

THAT'S GREAT.

- SHE'S SO SWEET. - THAT'S NICE.

SHE'S AMAZING.

WELL, SHE WAS FABULOUS, OF COURSE.

ANDERSON AND I HAVE WONDERFUL CHEMISTRY.

AND NOW, I'M OFF TO MY NEXT APPEARANCE.

SUPER FUN.

- YEAH. - THANK YOU.

TRINA, I'M SO GLAD YOU CAME TO SEE ME.

WHY?

BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A FEW DAYS.

I HAVEN'T REALLY SPOKEN TO TRINA,

AND WE REALLY NEED TO CATCH UP,

AFTER MY BIG FIGHT WITH TAMAR.

AND TRINA'S USUALLY THE ONE THAT'S ON THE FENCE,

THAT'S TRYING TO MAKE NICE WITH EVERYBODY,

SO MAYBE SHE KNOWS WHAT WE SHOULD DO

BECAUSE I HAVE ALMOST LOST ALL OF MY PATIENCE WITH TAMAR.

I'VE BEEN A LITTLE BUMMED BECAUSE OF ME

AND TAMAR'S CONVERSATION.

OKAY, YOU HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED

BECAUSE NO ONE IS SPILLIN' THE TEA.

I TOLD HER THE REASON THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN,

YOU KNOW, SOME TENSION BETWEEN SHE AND I--

I DIDN'T SPEAK FOR ANYONE ELSE.

RIGHT-- THAT'S A GOOD THING.

I WAS JUST REALLY JUST SPEAKING FOR ME.

SHE WASN'T TRANSPARENT WITH THE WAY SHE WENT ABOUT

THE SPIN-OFF SHOW.

SO, AND INSTEAD OF HER SAYIN'-- "YOU KNOW WHAT, TOWANDA?

"YOU'RE RIGHT.

"I DID GO ABOUT IT THE WRONG WAY, AND I APOLOGIZE."

SHE DENIED IT.

WE ARE ALL FOR TAMAR'S RECENT SUCCESS,

BUT THE FACT THAT SHE'S BEEN SO ALOOF

WHEN IT COMES TO HER AND WHAT SHE'S DOING IN HER LIFE

MAKES US FEEL LIKE SHE CARES MORE ABOUT HER CAREER

THAN HER FAMILY.

WE-WE'VE BEEN A CLOSE-KNIT FAMILY.

WE'VE BEEN A CLOSE SISTERSHIP ALL OUR LIVES.

AND THEN, WHY, SUDDENLY, WHY-WHY IS THERE SO MANY SECRETS,

AND WHY IS IT SO, UM, BLATANTLY LIARIZED?

EXACTLY.

AND LIKE IT TOLD HER, THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

THIS ISN'T JUST THE ONLY ISSUE THAT WE'RE HAVING.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS HURTIN' OUR RELATIONSHIP

WITH TAMAR IS THAT SHE FEELS FREE TO CRITICIZE

EVERYBODY'S MARRIAGES, BUT WHEN YOU TRY TO TALK ABOUT HER VELCRO

WITH VINCENT HERBERT ISSUE, SHE GOES COMPLETELY DEAF.

I THINK, INSTEAD OF HAVING ALL THESE TINY,

INDIVIDUAL CONVERSATIONS,

WHERE THINGS ARE LOST IN TRANSLATION,

I THINK THAT IT JUST NEEDS TO BE ALL OF US.

MAYBE DR. SHERRY OR SOMEBODY NEEDS TO COME AND-

AND MEDIATE THE SITUATION.

- MMM-HMM. - 'CAUSE THIS IS THE LONGEST--

YES.

THAT WE'VE EVER BEEN UPSET OR-- YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

KINDA DISTANT FROM EACH OTHER-- THIS IS THE LONGEST.

AND, LADIES, FREEZE FOR A COUPLE?

THANKS.

YA'LL LIKE THIS LIPSTICK, REALLY?

I THINK IT'S DEWY.

- I DON'T WANNA BE DEWY. - YOU DON'T WANNA BE DEWY?

I WANNA BE MATTE AND--

I AM A HUGE BARRY MANILOW FAN.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THAT ABOUT ME.

AND HE WAS BEING HONORED, AND HE'S A HUGE TONI BRAXTON FAN.

SO, HE REQUESTED ME TO SING.

SO, I WAS EXCITED.

I LOVE HIM, ALL HIS SONGS, "MANDY," ALTHOUGH,

I THOUGHT HE SHOULD'VE SAID, "TONI."

OH TONI YOU CAME AND YOU GAVE WITHOUT TAKIN'

HE WAS TALKING ABOUT ME.

SHOULD'VE BEEN, ANYWAY.

- TRINA? - UH-HUH.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THESE WOMEN ARE LOOKIN' AT YOU

LIKE YOU'RE A DAMN CALL GIRL OR SOMETHIN',

WIT' YOUR LITTLE DRESS ON.

AND MY HAIR.

I AM SO EXCITED TONI INVITED US ALL TO SEE HER TRIBUTE

PERFORMANCE TO BARRY MANILOW.

TOWANDA HAS A RECITAL FOR HER DAUGHTER, BROOKE.

AND TAMAR IS, OF COURSE, DOING PRESS.

BUT, I DEFINITELY COULDN'T MISS THIS.

I GREW UP LISTENING TO TONI SINGIN' MANILOW SONGS,

AND I KNOW SHE'S THRILLED.

THEY LOOKIN' AT TRINA LIKE SHE'S ONE OF THE CALL GIRLS.

I'M SORRY, WHAT?

YOU-YOU DON'T THINK IT'S TOO MUCH RED, WITH THE RED DRESS?

I SHOULD MAYBE DO A NUDE LIP.

- I'M SO SHORT, TONI. - YEAH, I'LL COME DOWN.

I HAVE ON SUPER HIGH HEELS.

SORRY, HER SHORT--

MY BA-- MY BREASTS LOOK LIKE I'M LACTATING.

- DON'T YOU-- - DON'T THEY?

THANK YOU.

OF COURSE, IT'S ALWAYS CRAZY BACKSTAGE

AND I'M JUST FINISHING UP GETTING READY,

AND THE STAGE MANAGER IS CALLING ME TO THE STAGE, ALL AT ONCE.

THERE'S NEVER A DULL MOMENT BEFORE SHOWTIME.

THE SPECTACULAR TONI BRAXTON!

OH, MY GOD, THIS IS IT--

IT'S TIME TO PERFORM.

I AM SINGING FOR THE BARRY MANILOW.

I AM A FANILOW.

I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS 'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, I LOOK UP TO HIM.

HI, GUYS-- HOW ARE YOU?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, GUYS, WE'RE HERE FOR A GREAT OCCASION.

WHERE IS MR. BARRY AT?

WHERE IS HE?

OH, MY GOD-- GIVE HIM A HAND, GUYS.

I LOVE HIM.

HA-HA.

WHERE ARE YOU?

I LOVE YOU

I LOVE YOU

DRIVE ME CRAZY

THINKING ABOUT YOU BABY YEAH

I LOVE YOU

IS THAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND?

BUT YOU LOVE HER

DRIVES ME CRAZY

WHAT AM I GONNA DO

WHEN TONI PERFORMED, I WAS LIKE "WOW!"

"SHE'S STILL GOT IT!

"SHE IS SEXY!"

I MEAN, IF I WAS INTO WOMEN, I WOULD KISS HER IN THE MOUTH.

GUYS, A LITTLE TONI TRIBUTE.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS, BUT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER,

I WON'T SAY MY AGE.

UM, I JUST CELEBRATED A BIRTHDAY.

I FORGOT ABUT THAT.

I JUST TURNED A YEAR OLDER, YEAH.

UM, 20.

YOU KNOW?

WELL PARTS OF ME TURNED 20,

BUT WE'RE CELEBRATING THAT, TOO.

SO WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WAS A YOUNGER KID,

I USED TO LOVE THIS MAN, RIGHT HERE, MR. BARRY MANILOW.

I LOVED HIM.

YEAH.

ONE OF THE REASONS I'M ON THIS STAGE IS BECAUSE OF HIM.

I HAD JUST STARTED TAKING PIANO LESSONS,

AND I HEARD THIS SONG, AND I'M LIKE, "OH, MY GOD!

"WHAT IS THIS SONG?"

AND I JUST--

♪ OH MANDY YOU CAME AND YOU GAVE WITHOUT TAKING ♪

♪ AND I SENT YOU AWAY OH MANDY ♪

♪ AND YOU KISSED ME AND SAVED ME FROM SHAKING ♪

♪ AND I NEED YOU TODAY OH ♪

THIS IS REALLY A HUGE HONOR FOR ME.

I CAN TELL THEY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME

BECAUSE I HAD A GREAT TIME.

AND, FOR ME, PERFORMING AND DOING SOMETHING

FOR BARRY MANILOW, WHO I LOVE,

I WAS VERY FLATTERED THAT HE-HE PICKED ME.

THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH-- HAVE A SAFE EVENING

AND ENJOY YOURSELVES.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR RING?

I THINK IT WAS FAKE.

IT WAS GLASS?

DO YOU THINK THAT BEING TONI BRAXTON'S SISTER

HAS ANY BEARING ON HOW YOUR SINGLE IS DOING?

THANKS, BOSS.

- ALL RIGHT. - ALL RIGHT.

- OH, HI-- HELLO. - HI.

SO, IT'S ANOTHER LONG DAY OF BACK-TO-BACK INTERVIEWS.

OH!

AND I GOTTA TELL YOU-- PROMOTIN' THIS SINGLE IS LIKE

RUNNIN' A MARATHON, EXCEPT FOR SHE'S RUNNING IN LOUBOUTINS.

YOU'RE WATCHING "ABIOLA'S PASSION PARTY."

AND TODAY, WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT TAMAR BRAXTON.

HI.

- "LOVE AND WAR--" - YES.

IS NUMBER ONE ON ITUNES.

ISN'T THAT AMAZING-- IT'S SO CRAZY.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE

I HAD MISSED MY TIME, OR MISSED MY MARK, WHATEVER,

AND I DIDN'T GIVE UP ON ME, AND CERTAINLY,

GOD DIDN'T GIVE UP ON ME.

SO, YOU KNOW, I-- AS LONG AS I HAVE THOSE TWO PEOPLE,

MYSELF AND GOD, I KNEW THAT I HAD A CHANCE. - YES.

IN THE BEGINNING OF THAT SONG,

YOU SOUND A LOT LIKE YOUR BIG SISTER.

WELL, THAT'S OKAY-- WE HAVE THE SAME DNA.

DO YOU THINK THAT BEING TONI BRAXTON'S SISTER

HAS ANY BEARING ON HOW YOUR SINGLE IS DOING?

NO, I DON'T.

YOU KNOW, I DO THINK THAT I WORKED REALLY HARD

ON, UM, THIS ALBUM AND ALL OF MY MATERIAL.

I DON'T THINK PEOPLE ARE EVEN THINKING ABOUT THE FACT

THAT I'M TONI'S SISTER.

I JUST THINK THEY THINK ABOUT THAT I'M TAMAR.

IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME AT ALL WHEN PEOPLE ASK ABOUT TONI,

BECAUSE SHE'S MY SISTER.

I'M PROUD OF HER, AND WE SIMPLY HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.

- HOW YA DOIN'? - TAMAR-- NICE MEETING YOU.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

WHAT'S THAT ON YOUR EYE-- THAT HURT?

OH, YEAH, IT DID WHEN IT HAPPENED.

OOH, LORD JESUS!

WHAT HAPPENED WAS--

I WAS IN THE CAR WITH 50 WHEN HE GOT SHOT, YOU KNOW, MAN.

BEIN' NOSEY, LOOKED UP, LIKE, "OH!"

"OH, -- POW!"

- YEAH. - OH, MAN!

JACK THRILLER, HE WAS TELLIN' ME ABOUT HOW HE LOST HIS EYE.

NOW, I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT WAS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.

I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE-- IT LOOKED LIKE A LITTLE--

WHAT DID IT LOOK LIKE?

LIKE A EIGHT BALL IN HIS EYE-- YEAH.

- I LOVE "LOVE AND WAR." - THANK YOU.

I MEAN, FIRST TIME I HEARD IT, I STARTED CRYIN',

AND I DON'T CRY.

WHO DO YOU FIGHT WITH THE MOST, OUT OF ALL YOUR SISTERS?

ALL OF THEM.

THAT JUST-- REALLY, A BATTLE ROYAL?

I FIGHT WITH ALL OF THEM AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

MMM.

WHO-WHO OPEN?

- WHO? - 'CAUSE I'LL GO WIT' YA'LL MAMA.

- EVERYBODY-- - WHO-WHO-WHO IS LEFT?

EVERYBODY IS NOT SINGLE ANYMORE.

- NOBODY IS SINGLE? - NO.

EVEN YOUR MAMA AIN'T SINGLE?

I DON'T THINK MY MAMA IS YOUR TYPE OF CHICK.

- YES, SHE IS. - SHE DON'T PLAY AT ALL.

- YOU LOOK LIKE YOU PLAY A LOT OF GAMES. - I WILL FOLLOW HER RULES.

I WILL DO WHAT SHE TELLS ME TO DO.

CHILD, JACK THRILLER WAS THE MOST RATCHET INTERVIEW

I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE.

IT WAS FUN, BUT RATCHET.

- - THISIS50. - COM.

REMEMBER, DON'T KISS THEM HOES IN THE MOUTH.

WE'RE OVER, AND WE'RE OUTTA HERE.

DO I HAVE SOMETHIN' IN MY EYE?

PROBABLY!

YOU SAID THAT, FOR REAL?

- WHAT HAPPENED? - OH, MY GOD!

"DON'T KISS THE HOES IN THE MOUTH."

WHAT-- WHAT?

CAN I SAY THIS?

WHY DO WE ALWAYS GOT TO EAT WHEN WE'RE DEPRESSED OR HAPPY?

THIS IS NOT A GOOD WORKOUT METHOD.

IT IS FOR ME.

I JUST FLEW INTO L.A. TODAY TO JOIN EVERYBODY

BECAUSE WE'VE SCHEDULED A FAMILY THERAPY SESSION WITH DR. SHERRY.

I KNOW THAT THIS IS SOMETHIN' THAT WE ABSOLUTELY NEED,

AND I'M JUST FINDING OUT THAT TAMAR HAS A VIDEO SHOOT

THAT WAS SCHEDULED, BUT I AM THINKIN' POSITIVELY.

REGARDLESS ON IF TAMAR SHOWS UP OR NOT, I DON'T CARE.

I JUST THINK THAT WE SHOULD GET TO THE ROOT OF THE ENTIRE SITUATION,

WITH OR WITHOUT HER, WITH DR. SHERRY.

AND, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER HAPPENS AFTER THAT,

THEN SO BE IT.

I JUST THINK THAT WE NEED TO GET TO THE ROOT OF IT.

IF, AT THE END OF THE DAY,

TAMAR FEELS LIKE SHE'S OVER HERE,

AND AS FIVE SISTERS, THE FOUR OF US ARE OVER HERE,

YOU DON'T THINK THAT TAMAR SEES THAT THERE'S MAYBE A PROBLEM

WITH HER OVER HERE?

SHE DOESN'T SEE THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH HER.

- NO, SHE DON'T SEE THAT. - SHE DOESN'T SEE THAT.

- AND THE RATIO OF IT? - NO, SHE DOESN'T. - SHE DON'T SEE THAT.

OUR BABY SISTER IS REALLY GETTIN' OUTTA HAND.

AND SINCE WE'RE TRYING TO STOP HER FROM BEING SPOILED

AND SETTING BOUNDARIES FOR HER,

IT'S REALLY GOING REALLY HAYWIRE.

TRINA, LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS.

I TOOK MY NAILS OFF.

OKAY-- AND THE RING.

DID YOU ALSO TAKE THE RING OFF WHEN YOU TOOK THE NAILS OFF?

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR WEDDING RING?

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR RING?

WELL, GABE AND I ARE LOOKING AT NEW RINGS.

MM-HMM.

SO, THE OLD RING NO LONGER HOLDS THE SAME VALUE.

WELL, I WOULD'VE PAWNED THAT.

WELL, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RING THAT HE GAVE YOU

IN SAINT LUCIA?

IT WASN'T A GOOD RING.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "IT WASN'T A GOOD RING?"

WHAT YOU MEAN?

IT JUST, UM, IT DIDN'T SUIT MY PERSONALITY.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM.

I'M-- I THINK IT WAS FAKE.

IT WAS GLASS?

SINCE MY WEDDING RENEWAL TO GABE,

I HAVEN'T BEEN WEARING MY RING

BECAUSE GABE LIED TO ME ON THE BEACH

WHEN HE SAID IT WASN'T A CUBIC ZIRCONIA.

- IS IT A CUBIC ZIRCONIA? - NO.

IT'S A CUBIC REAL.

I HAVE BEEN HORRIBLY EMBARRASSED EVER SINCE.

MEANWHILE, I AM STILL WAITING ON MY REAL RING.

NOW, LET-LET'S BE HONEST.

WE ALL KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH GABE MAKES A LOT OF MONEY--

- HE'S CHEAP. - HE'S A LITTLE CHEAP.

CHEAP-CHEAP-CHEAP! - HE'S A BIRD.

TRACI, CAN WE FOCUS?

OH, SORRY.

I WISHED OR THOUGHT TRINA TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS

SOME CUBIC ZIRCONIA RING THAT SHE'S WEARIN'

ON HER DAMN FINGER THAT GABE GAVE HER.

WHY WOULD YOU ACCEPT A RING LIKE THAT ANYWAY?

CUBIC ZIRCONIA REPRESENTS FAKE, FRAUD, BITCH-ASS.

YOU KNOW, MY ANNIVERSARY IS COMING UP.

RIGHT!

- ARE YOU GUYS HAVING SEX? - YES-- YES!

YES, THEY ARE!

TOWANDA-- TOWANDA!

OH, THANK YOU.

WAIT-- YOU HAVE TO MOVE-- YOU HAVE TO MOVE!

- WITH MY FOOD. - MOVE-MOVE-MOVE!

- TOWANDA! - DON'T GIVE IT TO HER YET!

WAIT!

WE DON'T WANT HER TO EAT ANY OF HER FOOD!

- WHOO! - TOWANDA!

YOU GOT YOUR--

- OH, MAN-- PRAISE THE LORD! - YOU GOT YOUR HO HEELS ON.

CAN I GET SOME SALT AND PEPPER?

- BENDIN' IT DOWN. - WAIT, TRACI.

- SALT AND PEPPER, PLEASE! - STIRRIN' IT LIKE COFFEE.

TRACI-TRACI-TRACI, WAIT.

TRACI, WAIT.

SHE'S STIRRIN' IT LIKE COFFEE!

LOOK AT HER-- OH!

YOU ATE THAT WHOLE BIG-ASS BAG OF NUTS?

THESE ARE BREAKFAST NUTS.

YOU GOT CHEESE WHIZ IN YOUR PURSE!

THAT'S A FASHION NO-NO.

I HOPE JOAN RIVERS SEE THIS.

SO, TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF MY VIDEO SHOOT

FOR "LOVE AND WAR,"

AND WE ALREADY SHOT THIS BEAUTIFUL SCENE AT THE BEACH.

AND TODAY, WE'RE GONNA SHOOT ME CHILLIN' AT THIS HOUSE.

MY SISTERS HAVE SCHEDULED THIS FAMILY MEETIN'.

AND, OF COURSE, IT'S HAPPENING ON THE SAME DAY OF MY VIDEO SHOOT,

BUT I'M NOT TRYING TO MISS IT

BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE DOES.

SHE'S GONNA GO, AND SHE'S GONNA SEE

WHAT THIS FAMILY MEETING IS ALL ABOUT.

OKAY, I'M READY. - WE READY?

AHEM.

- OKAY, HOLD ON, GUYS. - UH-- GOOD LORD!

SHE'S NOT TIRED, IS SHE?

IT'S THE FIRST SHOT UP.

TAMAR, CAN YOU, UH, SCOOT OVER TO YOUR LEFT, PLEASE?

GOOD, JUST-JUST KEEP PLAYING WITH YOUR NAILS.

THAT'S PERFECT.

LOOK OUT THE WINDOW, AGAIN-- I'M SORRY.

AND LOOK AT THE CAMERA, NOT ME.

BEAUTIFUL.

THERE'S A LOT OF DIRECTION WHILE I'M DOING THIS.

IT'S VERY DISTRACTING, ACTUALLY.

LET'S DO THAT, AGAIN.

TRUTH BE TOLD I'M WAVIN' MY FLAG

BEFORE IT GOES BAD

YEAH 'CAUSE WE MADE IT THIS FAR ON FOR BETTER OR WORSE

I WANNA FEEL IT EVEN IF IT HURTS

IF I GOTTA CRY TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE

LET'S GO 'CAUSE--

KEEP GOIN'-- KEEP GOIN'!

OH WE STAY ON--

I MEAN, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW,

BUT SHOOTING A MUSIC VIDEO IS HARD WORK.

IT REALLY IS.

YOU HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY PRECISE,

WITH A MILLION DIFFERENT SETUPS.

BUT, I AM SO FORTUNATE AND HAPPY TO BE WORKING

WITH A BUNCH OF PERFECTIONISTS,

LIKE HERSELF,

BECAUSE WE ALL WANT IT TO COME OUT GREAT.

UM, WHAT ARE-- WHAT-WHAT-- - WE'RE DOING THE BATHTUB NEXT.

YOU'RE NOT REALLY SINGING.

I DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT A BATHTUB SCENE.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

THAT'S-THAT'S-- IT--

- IS THERE WATER IN THERE? - NOPE.

IT'S JUST A BEAUTIFUL STAIN GLASS WINDOW,

AS HER FRIEND'S LAUGHING.

BUT, UM, THAT'S FIVE MINUTES.

VINCE, WHY THEY TELL ME ABOUT A BATHTUB, ON PURPOSE?

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL-- NO-NO-NO.

IT'S JUST-- WE ADDED IT LAST MINUTE.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S JUST A WINDOW, A STAINED GLASS WINDOW-- YOU KNEW ABOUT THAT.

- YOU KNOW WHAT? - OH!

YOU CAN'T IN OTHER PEOPLE'S TUB.

- OH, I'M SITTING ON THE TUB? - YEAH.

ON THE TUB, ON THE LIP OF THE TUB.

OH, I THOUGHT I WAS GETTIN' IN SOMEBODY'S TUB.

NO.

YOU'RE TEAM TOO MUCH.

SHE DON'T GET IN NO BATHTUB BECAUSE I CAN'T THINK ABOUT ME

SITTING IN MY OWN DIRT.

SO, SHE'S DEFINITELY NOT GONNA BE SITTING IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S DIRT.

THAT'S DISGUSTING.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SHOULD DO A TOWEL OR JUST, LIKE,

A LOOSE SORTA-- - A TOWEL FROM WHERE?

HA-HA-HA!

AIN'T NO-- BUT, CHILD, AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT.

- HERE'S, TAMAR-- - AIN'T NOBODY--

- TAMAR, THIS TOWEL, RIGHT HERE. - HELL NO.

WHOO!

CAN YOU SEE THE INSIDE OF THE TUB?

IT'S JUST A FOOTPRINT.

BLAH!

UH-UH-UH.

EW!

MMM-MMM-MMM.

GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!

FIRST OF ALL, BATHTUBS, LIKE, SYMBOLIZE SEXY, AND CUTE,

AND FUNNERS, AND STUFF, BUT I GETS IN THIS TUB,

AND I LOOK DOWN, AND IT'S, LIKE, BATHTUB FROM DIRT-MART.

LIKE, IT'S DISGUSTING.

HOW MANY MORE SHOTS AFTER THIS?

OH, A LOT.

SO, AFTER THE BATHROOM, THEN WHAT?

I'M GONNA PUT YOU UP IN A LITTLE BIT OF A PALM TREE.

GET YOUR LIFE.

I DON'T WANNA GET IN NO PALM TREE.

- I'M NOT-- - NO-NO-NO.

- ARE YOU SERIOUS? - IT'S A CLEAN TREE.

YOU GOT ON THE MANTLE.

I'M NOT GETTIN' ON NOBODY'S PALM TREE!

THAT WAS A ONE SHOT DEAL.

I'M NOT GETTIN' ON NO-- WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT NO TREES

AND TAMAR CLIMBING UP JACOB'S LADDER.

- WELL HELLO! - HI!

COME ON IN.

WHY DON'T YOU COME ON OVER HERE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S OKAY-- I WON'T BITE.

OH, OKAY-- I'LL SIT RIGHT HERE.

- ARE WE ALL COMFORTABLE? - MM-HMM. - YEAH.

MY UNDERSTANDING, TAMAR MAY BE HERE.

SHE'S WORKING-- I DO KNOW SHE'S WORKING.

SHE'S WORKING AND SHE'S RUNNING LATE.

- WE ALL COULD BE WORKING. - I UNDERSTAND.

WE'RE ALL WORKING ON DIFFERENT THINGS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE HEARD.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

BUT, MOMMY, YES IS YES, AND NO IS NO.

TRINA, I DON'T NEED YOU TO TELL ME THAT.

I'M-I'M NOT ASKING YOU WHAT YOU NEED, MOMMY.

I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU WHAT I'M FEELING!

I'M NOT- I'M NOT ASKING YOU WHAT YOU NEED.

WE'RE MISSING ONE PERSON.

SHE'S WORKING-- I DO KNOW SHE'S WORKING.

SHE'S WORKING AND SHE'S RUNNING LATE.

- WE ALL COULD BE WORKING. - I UNDERSTAND.

WE'RE ALL WORKING ON DIFFERENT THINGS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT HOPEFULLY SHE'LL ARRIVE.

IN THE MEANTIME, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND START WITHOUT HER.

IS THAT OKAY?

- MMM-HMM. - YEAH.

THESE GIRLS HAVE BEEN FIGHTING SINCE THEY'VE BEEN IN DIAPERS!

DO THEY LOVE ONE ANOTHER?

ABSOLUTELY!

ARE THEY STUBBORN?

OF COURSE!

AND, THEY'RE VERY OUTSPOKEN.

THEY'VE ALL HAD THEIR DISAGREEMENTS HERE AND THERE.

BUT THIS PARTICULAR FIGHT HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH

AND THEY NEED TO GET OVER IT RIGHT NOW.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

- TOO LONG. - TOO LONG.

SOMEONE CATCH ME UP.

OKAY, I-I-- ME AND MOMMY REALLY WANTED THE GIRLS

AND TAMAR-MAR TO TALK BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A LOT

OF FRICTION, OR ANIMOSITY, OR SOMETHING GOING ON.

IT'S NOT QUITE RIGHT, AND TAMAR THINKS IT'S THEM,

AND NO ONE'S TALKING ABOUT THEIR ISSUES

OF WHAT THEY'RE REALLY FEELING.

WE'RE NOT COMMUNICATING ANYMORE.

OKAY.

I KNOW YOU TOLD US WE NEED TO DO THAT.

- YEAH. - WE'VE REGRESSED.

WHAT HAPPENED?

THERE'S A LOT OF GRAY ELEPHANTS THAT CAME FORWARD.

THE BIG, WHITE ELEPHANT THAT USED TO COME?

NO, IT'S NOT EVEN WHITE NO MORE.

- OH. - THE THING IS GRAY.

- IT'S AGED? - YEAH.

OH, OKAY.

SO, DO YOU THINK ALL THE ISSUES ARE CENTERED ON TAMAR?

WHAT-- I MEAN, IS THAT THE MAIN FOCUS?

I THINK THAT THERE'S A-A-A BRIDGE THAT'S--

- OH. - THAT NEEDS TO BE MENDED.

I THINK EVERYONE WANTS TO HAVE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP

WITH ALL OF US SISTERS COLLECTIVELY,

BUT I THINK, IN PARTICULAR, THE RELATIONSHIP WITH TAMAR

AND THE OTHER GIRLS HAS BEEN STRESSED.

NOT SURE HOW DO WE KNOCK THAT WALL DOWN, BUT I'M HOPING,

WITH DR. SHERRY'S HELP, THAT WE CAN DO IT.

YES.

UM, I HAD A ONE ON ONE WITH TAMAR, AND SHE LEFT

BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANNA HEAR MY TRUTH OF HOW I WAS FEELING.

MMM-HMM.

AND BY ME HAVING THAT ONE ON ONE CONVERSATION WITH TAMAR--

MMM-HMM.

AND BY ME SWALLOWING MY PRIDE--

BECAUSE EVERYBODY IN MY FAMILY KNOWS HOW I AM.

IT'S HARD FOR ME TO SWALLOW MY PRIDE AND TO HOP ON THE PLANE

TO HAND HER THAT OLIVE BRANCH, AND THEN SHE CRAPS ON IT.

THAT'S HOW I FELT.

TAMAR WAS-WAS ANGRY, TOO, AND DISAPPOINTED,

BUT TAMAR SEEMS TO THINK THAT NONE OF HER SISTERS LIKE HER.

SHE SAID, "MY SISTERS HATE ME,

"AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID TO THEM."

- SO, IT'S SERIOUS. - IT'S REALLY SERIOUS.

IT IS VERY SERIOUS.

IT'S DETRIMENTAL TO OUR FAMILY, AT THIS POINT.

ARE WE STILL DEALING WITH BAGGAGE FROM THE PAST?

I DON'T KNOW.

- I THINK IT'S A LITTLE. - OR, IS THIS SOMETHING NEW?

I WILL SAY, FOR ME,

FROM DOING THE "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"

FROM SEASON ONE WHEN WE CAME INTO THIS WHOLE SITUATION,

IT WAS AS A SISTERSHIP AND AS A SISTERHOOD,

AND WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IT FROM THE VERY FRUITION OF IT,

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FAMILY UNIT.

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FAMILY PROJECT.

WERE YOU ALL ASKED TO BE A PART OF THE OTHER SHOW?

- NO, WE WASN'T. - TO AT LEAST MAKE APPEARANCES?

SHE NEVER ASKED.

WHAT SHE SAID WAS, "I MEAN, THIS IS A OPPORTUNITY.

"IF YA'LL WANNA DO IT, FINE-- IF NOT, FINE."

AND THAT'S-- THAT MUST BE VERY AGGRAVATING?

IT MUST BE VERY FRUSTRATING.

IT'S ALSO VERY REAL.

IT IS VERY REAL, FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

- NO, IN REALIZATION. - I DON'T KNOW.

I HAVE TO-- I HAVE TO-- BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S NOT PERSPECTIVE-- IT'S VERY REAL, DR. SHERRY.

- OKAY. - IT'S NOT PERSPECTIVE.

AND I'LL-- AND I'LL ACCEPT THAT.

IT'S VERY REAL.

WAIT-- LET'S SAY.

IS IT REAL, OR IS IT NOT? - IT IS REAL.

- IT IS REAL. - IS IT REAL?

- YOU KNOW WHAT? - YES OR NO, MOMMY.

BUT-BUT, I, UH, I NEED TO SAY THIS.

- OKAY. - BUT, MOMMY'S A MOM.

- I NEED TO SAY THIS. - SHE'S NOT A SISTER.

I UNDERSTAND THAT SHE'S NOT A SISTER, BUT-BUT--

YA'LL CAN GET UPSET ALL YOU WANT.

- MOMMY, IT'S NOT-- - I NEED TO SAY THIS.

WHETHER OR NOT, YOU KNOW, IT'S A YES OR NO SITUATION.

I-I NEED TO SAY THIS... IF TAMAR--

BUT, MOMMY, YES IS YES, AND NO IS NO.

MAYBE TO YOU.

- NO-- PERIOD! - MAYBE TO YOU.

- WELL, LET'S TALK ABOUT-- - NO, DR. SHERRY.

TRINA, I DON'T NEED YOU TO TELL ME THAT.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU WHAT YOU NEED, MOMMY.

I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU WHAT I'M FEELING!

- I'M NOT ASKING-- - NO, DR. SHERRY.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU WHAT YOU NEED.

I'M ASKING YOU HOW YOU FEEL.

BUT, YES IS YES, AND NO IS NO.

I GOTTA TELL YOU-- I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN TRINA.

SHE WENT BLOW TO BLOW WITH MY MOM.

OBVIOUSLY, SHE HAS SOME ISSUES, SOME UNRESOLVED ISSUES.

IT'S VERY HARD FOR ME TO SAY YES OR NO.

I AM A MOTHER, AND I HAVE TWO CHILDREN, AS WELL,

AND I KNOW HOW IT IS TO NOT WANNA TAKE SIDES.

HOWEVER, AS A PARENT, YOU STILL HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE

WHAT'S TRUE AND WHAT'S NOT.

SO, SOMETIMES, IT GETS REALLY, REALLY FRUSTRATING

BECAUSE SHE CHOOSES TO REMAIN NEUTRAL.

WAIT A MINUTE.

WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME LIKE THAT, TRINA?

WHAT'S WRONG?

I THINK I HAVE A RIGHT TO LOOK AT WHOMEVER I CHOOSE.

I'M JUST LOOKING.

JUST LOOKING.

OKAY.

AND, YOU SEE, TRINA GETS VERY UPSET WITH ME

BECAUSE SHE FEELS THAT, UM, I'M ALWAYS STICKING UP FOR TAMAR.

YOU DO, BUT THAT'S NOT- THAT'S NOT THAT SITUATION AT HAND.

SEE HOW HOSTILE SOMETIME THEY CAN BE?

BUT, THAT'S LET'S GO BACK WITH THE BAGGAGE BECAUSE--

WAS I- WAS I- WAS I HOSTILE, JUST NOW?

- THE HOSTILITY-- - IT-- WE-WE CAN'T REALLY TALK.

YOU KNOW, WHEN TRINA GOT A LITTLE SPICY, I CALL IT,

WITH ME, I FELT SHE WAS VERY DISRESPECTING.

I DON'T THINK I'M ANY MORE PROTECTIVE OVER TAMAR

THAN THE OTHERS.

I'M GOING TO BE THERE FOR ALL OF THEM.

THAT'S JUST WHAT I DO.

I THINK THAT THERE IS JUST A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE NEED

TO DISCUSS AS SISTERS-- PERIOD.

WOULD YOU ALL LIKE MOM TO LEAVE?

YES, I WILL.

MOM SAYS--

EVEN IF THEY DON'T EVEN LIKE IT, I HAVE TO.

OKAY.

'CAUSE I-I THINK THAT THEY NEED TO TALK, YOU KNOW,

AND BE MORE OPEN.

OKAY.

AND NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT I'M FEELING.

I THINK THAT IT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE FOR MOMMY

TO BE IN THE SESSION TODAY.

WE CAN'T REALLY AIR OUT THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY NEED

TO COMFORTABLY AIR OUT, IF MOMMY'S SITTING HERE.

YOU KNOW, BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SAY, "EFF YOU,

"YOU MAKE ME SICK, I CAN'T STAND YOU,"

IN ORDER TO GET OVER STUFF,

AND WE COULDN'T DO THAT WITH MOMMY SITTING THERE.

I'M SORRY-- WE COULDN'T.

I DID WANNA SAY JUST ONE THING.

I REMEMBER HOW TRINA FELT WHEN WE DID AN INTERVENTION.

REMEMBER THAT, DR. SHERRY?

- MMM-HMM. - AND SHE FELT ATTACKED.

RIGHT, AND I WAS ABOUT TO SAY--

AND IT WON'T BE COMMUNICATING.

NO COMMUNICATION WILL HAPPEN.

I-I DON'T WANT HER TO FEEL ATTACKED, 'CAUSE I WANT US--

- TO BE ABLE TO TALK. - TO HAVE AN ENDING.

SO, HOW DO WE DO THAT?

RIGHT, THAT'S WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO SAY.

TELL US HOW TO TALK WHEN SHE COMES IN?

IT'S FUNNY YOU MENTION THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS MY EXACT WORDS.

EVERYBODY'S HOLDING A LOT OF STUFF, RIGHT NOW,

AND IT NEEDS TO BE HEARD.

OKAY.

BUT THEN, ALSO WANT HER TO SHARE WITH US HER FEELINGS,

AND YOU GOT TO BE WILLING TO LISTEN.

AND THEN, WE'LL RESPOND.

RIGHT.

- BECAUSE OTHERWISE-- - I AGREE WITH THAT.

IF YOU JUST DUMP IT, SHE'S NOT GONNA HEAR IT.

AND IT'S GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, AGAIN,

WE'VE HAD SOME TIME TOGETHER BEFORE SHE COMES IN.

SO, YOU KNOW, SHE'S GONNA BE ON GUARD.

EXACTLY.

YOU KNOW, SHE'S GONNA BE ON GUARD.

SHE'S GONNA COME IN VERY GUARDED.

SHE'S GONNA BE ON GUARD-- SO EXPECT THAT.

PEOPLE OFTEN THINK THAT MY SISTER, TAMAR,

IS A HARD PERSON TO COMMUNICATE WITH.

THERE ARE TRUTHS ABOUT THAT.

BUT, IN ESSENCE, SHE'S JUST VERY SENSITIVE.

AND I FIND THAT PEOPLE WHO BARK A LOT ARE THOSE PEOPLE

WHO DO THAT TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.

- HOLA, CHICAS. - WELL, HELLO-HELLO!

HI.

EVERYBODY LOOKS CUTE.

YES, EVERYBODY.

YES, THE SPECIAL GUEST OF THE DAY HAS ARRIVED.

AND HONESTLY, WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY'VE BEEN SAYING,

WHILE THEY'VE ALL BEEN WAITING ON ME?

ALL I KNOW IS, IT'S ALWAYS THEM AGAINST TAMAR,

AND I AM CONSISTENTLY ATTACKED WITH THAT MEAN GIRL THEORY.

TAMAR, YOU HAVE GOTTEN REALLY MEAN.

TAMAR, SWEETIE, YOU'RE BECOMING A MEAN GIRL.

BUT, THAT'S TRUE.

IT IS YOUR MOUTH BECAUSE IT'S TRUE-- IT IS YOUR MOUTH.

EVERYBODY TELLS YOU THAT.

TAMAR, EVERY GROUP YOU'VE BEEN IN FAILED

BECAUSE OF THAT ATTITUDE OF YOURS!

LET'S JUST KEEP IT REAL!

EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO GET BACK AT TAMAR FOR WHAT TAMAR SAID LAST SEASON!

THIS IS NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT!

IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT I LOVE AND CARE ABOUT MY SISTERS

MORE THAN ANYTHING.

AND, YOU KNOW, I-I DON'T WRITE DOWN ALL THE HURTFUL THINGS THEY SAY TO ME,

BUT I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

I'M GLAD YOU COULD JOIN US.

I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN WORKING.

YES.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS ASKED TO DO

IS TO COME AND TO TALK TO EVERYBODY, TALK TO SISTERS.

ABOUT WHAT?

WELL, I'M GONNA LET YOU DECIDE.

I'M GONNA LET EVERYBODY DECIDE.

I'M A LISTENIN' EAR TONIGHT.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

I NEVER SAID THAT TO YOU, TAMAR?

I DON'T- I DON'T GIVE A FIERY !

I CARE NOT!

- SO, WE'RE NEVER GONNA GET PAST IT. - I GUESS WE AIN'T.

IT-- I SHOULD'VE NEVER COME HERE.

- TRINA? - MMM-HMM.

I HAVE SOMETHIN' VERY IMPORTANT TO SHOW YOU.

- IS IT A SONOGRAM? - FOR WHAT?

ULTRASOUND-- I DON'T KNOW-- WHAT?

YOU TRIED IT-- LET'S GO.

- OKAY. - LET ME SHOW YOU.

- WHAT YOU GOTTA SHOW ME? - TRINA, LOOK!

OH, MY GOSH-- TOWANDA, LOOK!

MY BABY!

TOWANDA, SHE LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE PRINCESS.

- DOESN'T SHE? - YEAH, SHE'S A BRAXTON.

ISN'T SHE?

I'M REALLY PROUD OF HER-- SHE LOVES BALLET.

GREAT!

WELL, SHE'S TALL ENOUGH FOR IT.

SHE'S GONNA BE 5'2" TOMORROW.

THAT'S TALLER THAN TONI.

EXACTLY-- SO, WHAT'D YOU REALLY HAVE TO SHOW ME?

'CAUSE YOU DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION

WHEN I ASKED YOU TO SHOW ME THE SONOGRAM.

THE PICTURE.

NO ULTRASOUND-- NO SONOGRAM?

NO!

HOW COME YOU DIDN'T WANNA ANSWER ME?

GO AHEAD, SAY IT.

SAY-SAY, "I'M NOT HAVING A BABY."

I AM NOT HAVIN' A BABY.

ARE YOU DOING THE DUNA-DUNA WIT' YOUR HUSBAND?

OUT THE DOOR, LET'S GO-- BYE.

WHY?

HOW COME YOU WON'T ANSWER ME?

- COME ON, TRINA. - I DON'T HAVE MY SHOES ON!

- I'LL THROW YOU YOUR SHOES. - YOU CAN'T PUT ME OUT!

I'M GONNA GET YOUR SHOES!

GOODBYE! - YOU CAN'T PUT ME OUT!

LOVE YOU-- BYE.

I'M GLAD YOU COULD JOIN US.

I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN WORKING.

YES.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS ASKED TO DO IS TO COME

AND TO TALK TO EVERYBODY, TALK TO SISTERS.

ABOUT WHAT?

WELL, I'M GONNA LET YOU DECIDE.

I'M GONNA LET EVERYBODY DECIDE.

I'M A LISTENIN' EAR TONIGHT.

AS SOON AS TAMAR WALKS THROUGH THE ROOM,

EVERYBODY WAS ON EDGE

BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT ANYONE KNEW HOW--

WHAT TAMAR THEY WERE GONNA GET.

THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY WERE GONNA GET

RAH-RAH-RAH-RAH TAMAR,

OR THE SWEET TAMAR.

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YA'LL AS SIBLINGS?

I-I DON'T KNOW.

I REACH OUT-- I CALL.

I TEXT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

DO YOU WANNA START, IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU THINK HAS HAPPENED

THAT HAS CREATED THE DISTANCE THAT YOU-YOU MAY HAVE, NOW?

I DON'T-- BECAUSE I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA.

EVERYBODY ELSE KNOW EXCEPT FOR ME.

SINCE NO ONE'S SHARED THEIR FEELINGS, YOU KNOW,

OR YOU DON'T KNOW, IF YOU CAN HEAR--

I WOULD LOVE TO.

YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN.

OKAY, BECAUSE IN THE PAST,

THE COMMUNICATION REALLY GETS MESSED UP AROUND HERE.

SO, TOWANDA, YOU WANNA START?

SURE.

AS I, UH, STATED TO YOU BEFORE, IT WAS KINDA DIFFICULT

FOR ME TO BE EXCITED THE WAY THAT EVERYTHING WAS PRESENTED

FOR THE "TAMAR AND VINCE" SHOW.

IT'S SO STUPID BECAUSE THIS IS THE CAUSE

OF EVERYBODY HAVING AN ATTITUDE.

THE SHOW?

- YES, IT IS, BECAUSE-- - OKAY, LET-LET-LET ME ASK.

- THIS IS THE CAUSE. - LET ME--

THIS IS THE CAUSE OF NOBODY WANTING TO CALL ME BACK,

NOBODY WANTING TO GET THE PHONE, NOBODY WANTING TO COME--

TAMAR, GODDAGGIT!

I JUST-- SOMETIMES, I FEEL LIKE SHAKIN' HER,

JUST SO SHE CAN WAKE UP.

I DON'T GIVE A FLYIN' FREAK ABOUT TAMAR'S SPIN-OFF SHOW.

I'M HAPPY FOR HER.

I DON'T CARE.

IT'S THE WAY SHE WENT ABOUT IT,

AND THAT'S NOT OUR ONLY ISSUE, OBVIOUSLY.

AND THEN, ANOTHER-- MY O-OTHER PROBLEM,

ALSO, TAMAR, IS, IT'S LIKE YOU-YOU TURN A DEAF EAR

WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR HUSBAND, WHEN HE DOES CERTAIN THINGS.

WHAT THAT GOT TO DO WITH ME?

TAMAR, WHAT DOES TALKING LOUD DO?

- WHAT HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH ME? - YOU LOOK RIDICULOUS.

- I DON'T TALK ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND! - YOU LOOK RIDICULOUS.

YOU DO.

I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

AND-AND-AND YOU'VE DONE IT.

NO, SHE'S TALKING ABOUT SAYING THAT--

AND YOU'VE DONE IT, TIME AND TIME, AGAIN.

- YOU TALK ABOUT THEIR HUSBANDS-- - RIGHT.

THEIR HUSBANDS, AND THEIR HUSBANDS,

AND EVERYBODY ELSE'S HUSBANDS, BUT WHEN SOMETHIN' HAPPENS WITH YOUR HUSBAND,

YOU TURN A BLIND EYE-- THAT'S WHAT SHE'S SAYING.

- OKAY. - WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LISTEN?

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO OVER-TALK PEOPLE?

- I HEARD IT. - WE'RE COMMUNICATING.

YOU HEARD IT.

WE AIN'T COMMUNICATIN'.

WE AIN'T COMMUNICATIN' NOTHIN'.

NO, WE'RE NOT COMMUNICATING BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING LOUDER.

THIS IS A DAMN TAMAR INTERVENTION.

I DONE WALKED INTO THE DAMN LION'S DEN,

WITH MY ASS ON A PLATTER. - AND LOUDER, AND LOUDER--

AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT .

THAT WAS NOT THE INTENT.

YOU KNOW, TAMAR SAID SHE DOES GIVE A "EFF"

ABOUT "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES."

SHE HAS HER OWN SHOW, AND THAT'S ALL SHE CARES ABOUT,

AND THAT'S ALL SHE'S CONCENTRATING ON.

TRINA DIDN'T TELL THE WHOLE CONVERSATION!

THAT CONVERSATION CAME ABOUT WHEN BRA--

WHEN BRAXTON FAMILY, AND EVERYBODY SAT AROUND THE TABLE,

TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH I CHANGED,

AND I'M A MEAN GIRL AND ALL THAT STUFF.

THAT HURT MY FEELINGS.

WAIT A MINUTE-- WAIT A MINUTE.

THE-THE FIRST- THE FIRST THING WE NEED TO ESTABLISH

IS WHETHER THAT CONVERSATION HAPPENED.

NO, THIS CONVERSATION HAPPENED FIRST "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES."

OH, MY GOD!

TAMAR SAID, "I'LL BE GLAD WHEN I DO MY OWN SHOW.

"I HATE WORKIN' WIT' YA'LL.

"YA'LL ARE SO EFFIN' LAZY."

THAT HAPPENED.

AND I TOLD YOU THE GIRLS-- - IT'S DUMB.

YOU HURT THEIR FEELINGS WHEN YOU SAID THAT BACK THEN.

TAMAR, DON'T EVEN TRY THIS WITH ME

BECAUSE ME AND YOU HAD THIS CONVERSATION.

I DON'T REMEMBER THAT CONVERSATION.

OH, YOU SAID, "WELL, TONI, NOBODY TALKS TO ME."

I SAID, "I CAN TELL YOU THIS.

"THAT HURT THEIR FEELINGS."

SO NOW, YOU GOT A BIG MESS.

THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO TALK TO THEM,

- HA-HA-HA-HA! - AND THEY NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

- I NEVER SAID THAT TO YOU? - I AIN'T GOT NO BIG MESS--

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I THINK.

I NEVER SAID THAT TO YOU, TAMAR?

I DON'T GIVE A FIERY !

I CARE NOT!

LIKE, I AIN'T GOT NO TIME FOR THIS .

THIS IS BULL !

MY SISTERS ARE KNOWN FOR BACKING OUT OF REHEARSAL,

BEING LATE, OR NOT SHOWING UP AT ALL.

SO, IN FRUSTRATION, IN AN ARGUMENT WITH ONE OF MY SISTERS,

SOMETHIN' LIKE THAT COULD'VE BEEN SAID.

I HAVE TO GO HOME.

WHAT YOU TALKIN' ABOUT, WILLIS?

- WHAT YOU-- - YOU'RE LEAVING TONIGHT?

WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT?

LIKE, WE DON'T HAVE TOMORROW TO PRACTICE-- NO.

TONI'S NOT COMIN'?

I MEAN, I JUST DON'T FEEL THE NEED OF HAVING REHEARSAL

WHEN THE PERSON WHO NEEDS TO BE REHEARSING IS NOT HERE.

TOWANDA, ARE YOU EVER GONNA GIVE YOURSELF A CHANCE

TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN BE ON THE PHONE?

ALWAYS HAS TO BE AN ISSUE-- JESUS!

YOU HAVE THE ISSUE-- WE WERE GETTING ALONG FINE!

JESUS!

AT THE END OF THE DAY, IF IT'S WHACK,

YOU'RE GONNA ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FOR BEIN' WHACK,

AND I AIN'T TRYING TO BE WITH THE WHACK JUICE.

I DON'T WANT NO WHACK JUICE ON ME.

IS IT A BAD THING THAT I WANNA WORK, AND THEY DON'T?

IS IT A BAD THING THAT I'M LIKE, "OKAY, FINE,

"I'M NOT GONNA WASTE YOUR TIME,

"AND YOU'RE NOT FITTIN' TO WASTE MY TIME?"

I DON'T THINK SO.

SO, WE'RE NEVER GONNA GET PAST IT.

I GUESS WE AIN'T-- IT.

THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT.

I SWEAR TO GOD, WITH EVERY INCH OF MY BEING, I CARE NOT.

WHATEVER-- I DON'T CARE!

I SHOULD'VE NEVER COME HERE.

I SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO MY GUT.

WELL, IF YOU DON'T WANNA BE HERE, TAMAR, I UNDERSTAND IT.

YOU SHOULD LEAVE-- I GET IT.

I JUST THOUGHT WE WAS GONNA TALK.

YOU GET IT-- YOU DON'T GET IT.

IF YOU WANNA LEAVE, YOU SHOULD LEAVE.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

- DON'T TEST-- - YOU ALL RIGHT?

- DON'T TEST ME. - TRACI?

'CAUSE YOU GOT THE-- DON'T TEST ME-- DON'T TEST ME.

- THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT. - I'M DONE.

I'M OUTTA HERE, FOR REAL-- NO-NO-NO!

I'M OUT-- NO, TO THE FRICKIN' WAY.

- TONI BRAXTON! - NO.

I SHOULD HAVE NEVER COME HERE.

I SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO MY GUT.

WELL, IF YOU DON'T WANNA BE HERE, TAMAR, I UNDERSTAND IT.

YOU SHOULD LEAVE-- I GET IT.

I JUST THOUGHT WE WAS GONNA TALK.

YOU GET IT-- YOU DON'T GET IT.

IF YOU WANNA LEAVE, YOU SHOULD LEAVE.

"EFF-YOU" TO EVERYTHING IS NOT HOW YOU TALK TO PEOPLE.

TAMAR TENDS TO DO THAT WHEN SHE GETS UPSET--

"EFF" THE SITUATION.

AND I KEEP TELLING HER, "USE YOUR WORDS,

"LIMITED VOCABULARY-- LEARN TO COMMUNICATE.

"SAY HOW YOU FEEL."

AND THAT'S JUST HER THROW AWAY WORD,

AND SHE'S-- SHE WAS WRONG.

I CAN'T FAKE IT-- I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

SHE WAS WRONG-- SHE CAN'T SAY THAT TO PEOPLE.

BEFORE YOU LEAVE-- BEFORE YOU CHOOSE TO--

THIS WAS NOT THE INTENT.

IT'S NOT?

N-NO, BUT IT'S COMING OFF LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW, I SAID, IF I WAS GONNA COME HERE TODAY,

I JUST WANNA WORK THINGS OUT.

BUT, THAT'S CLEARLY NOT WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA.

EVERYBODY HAS ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MINDS ABOUT ME,

AND THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH BASHING ONE PERSON CAN TAKE.

YOU ALL ARE SISTERS.

TURNING IN SISTERHOOD, A BOND--

I'M NOT THE DEVIL, TRACI.

I BEG YOUR PARDON.

I DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE THE DEVIL.

WHO'S THE DEVIL?

SHE-SHE JUST MADE A STATEMENT, AND I MADE A STATEMENT BACK.

SO, WHO ARE YOU REFERRING TO AS THE DEVIL?

WHY ARE YOU SO MAD?

- WHAT YOU THINK? - BUT, WHY ARE YOU MAD?

WHY ARE YOU MAD?

WHY YOU GOTTA LIE?

WHY YOU GOTTA TURN ON EVERYBODY ELSE?

TURN ON EVERYBODY ELSE?

WHY YOU GOTTA STEP ON PEOPLE'S PLATFORM TO GET WHERE YOU'RE AT?

WHOSE PLATFORM DID I STEP ON?

- WHAT? - I STEPPED ON MY OWN PLATFORM.

HONEY, NO, YOU DIDN'T STEP ON PLATFORM.

- WHO PLATFORM DID I STEP ON? - YOU AIN'T STEP ON YOUR PLATFORM.

WHO PLATFORM DID I STEP ON?

- YOU AIN'T STEP-- - GET YOUR LIFE!

I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE SITTING DOWN.

- NO, YOU NEED TO GET YOUR LIFE. - THAT DID NOT HAPPEN!

- YOU, UH, NO, YOU NEED TO DO DOUBLE-DUTCH-- - GIRL, GOODBYE.

- AND DO A TUMBLE SAULT AND EVERYTHING ELSE. - GOODBYE!

I HAD ENOUGH, SITTING HERE NEXT TO THAT SCREAMING DIVA.

SO, SHE THINKS SHE CAN POP OFF AT THE MOUTH?

SAY WHATEVER SHE WANTS?

YOU BETTER GET YOUR LIFE.

WHY ALL THE SCREAMING?

I FEEL LIKE TRACI TURNED AROUND AND GOT BUCKED,

AND THAT'S WHEN IT GOT- THAT'S WHEN IT GOT AMPED TO THE- TO THE MAX.

REGARDLESS, LET ME JUST PUT IT LIKE THIS... SAY--

- WHAT'S UP? - DON'T-DON'T TEST ME.

- YOU ALL RIGHT? - DON'T TEST ME.

WAIT A MINUTE... WAIT A MINUTE, TRACI.

- DON'T TEST ME. - YOU ALL RIGHT? - TRACI?

- 'CAUSE YOU GOT THE -- DON'T TEST ME.

- UNNECESSARY-- UNNECESSARY. - DON'T TEST ME.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT.

- DON'T TEST ME. - TRACI, COME ON.

- I'M NOT THE ONE. - NEITHER AM I.

- I AM NOT THE ONE. - AND NEITHER AM I.

DON'T ACT BIG, BAD WOLF TODAY.

- TAMAR-- TRACI? - DON'T DO IT.

TAMAR AND TRACI ARE ALWAYS HOSTILE WITH EACH OTHER.

- YOU'RE NOT TEACHING RIGHT. - YOU MADE AT ME,

'CAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE YOU'RE DOIN'!

THAT'S NOT MY FAULT!

MISS BIG MOUTH ALMIGHTY?

- EXCUSE ME-- CAN WE JUST-- - MISS WONDERFUL ALL THOU?

I KNOW IT'S FOR TONI, BUT THAT ONE, RIGHT THERE,

HER MOUTH, JESUS!

AND IF YOU BE REAL WIT' YOURSELF, YOU'D BE LIKE,

"YOU KNOW WHAT?" - I'M ALWAYS REAL TO MYSELF.

"I WAS ACTING LIKE A ASS TO YOU

"FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON."

AND-AND, YEAH, I WAS.

"AND I ALWAYS LIKE AN ASS."

AND, YES, I WAS, JUST LIKE YOU WAS, TOO-- JUST LIKE YOU WAS, TOO!

NO, WAIT-- ALL-ALL THE HANDS--

- JUST LIKE YOU WAS, TOO! - NO, STOP-- THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.

- JUST LIKE YOU WAS, TOO. - DON'T PUT YOUR HANDS IN PEOPLE'S FACE.

AND I THINK THAT NOW TRACI'S GETTIN' TO THE POINT WHERE,

"TAMAR, YOU'RE NOT GONNA SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT TO SAY TO ME ANYMORE.

"YOU'RE NOT GETTIN' AWAY WITH IT."

I THINK THAT NOW IS SHOCKING FOR TAMAR

THAT WE ARE CREATING BOUNDARIES.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT TAKES A MINUTE TO GET USED TO THAT.

- IT'S SO CHILDISH. - YES, YOU ARE.

I'M SITTING HERE TRYING TO SAY, LIKE, THE WHOLE--

IF YOU WANNA PLAY DOUBLE DUTCH, YOU CAN.

- THE WHOLE BUCKING -- - IF HER BUCKING IS CHILDISH,

WHAT IS YOUR SCREAMING?

UM, I'M NEVER GONNA SIT HERE AND LET NOBODY,

UM, MAKE ME OUT TO BE SOMEBODY THAT I'M DEFINITELY NOT.

I'M NOT GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN.

SO, MY HOSTILITY AND FRUSTRATION COMES FROM THAT.

IF I WAS THE PERSON THAT EVERYBODY WANTS ME TO BE,

YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE,

AND THAT'S JUST THE BOTTOM LINE.

I'M NOT THAT GIRL.

IF IT'S UNTRUE, TELL US WHAT YOU FEEL

THAT IS UNTRUE THAT IS COMING OUT OF OUR MOUTHS.

WELL, OKAY.

LET'S START WITH-WITH-WITH TRINA, WHERE, YOU KNOW,

SHE TRIED TO SAY THAT, "WELL, YOU SAID YOU DON'T CARE

"ABOUT THE BRAXTONS."

I SAID I DON'T CARE ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF THE WAY I WAS BEING TREATED.

I'M SORRY.

HAVE YOU WATCHED THE SHOW, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN?

HOW WAS TAMAR BRAXTON BEING TREATED ON THE SHOW FOR "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES?"

I'M SORRY-- TAMAR ATTACKED EVERYBODY!

SHE ATTACKED EVERYBODY'S PERSONAL LIFE, THEIR MARRIAGE.

I MEAN, SHE ATTACKED EVERYTHING.

BUT, NO ONE SAID ANYTHING IGNORANT OR DEROGATORY

ABOUT TAMAR AND HER MARRIAGE OR HER SITUATIONS.

DON'T THROW STONES

WHEN YOU'RE LIVIN' IN THE BIGGEST GLASS HOUSE

ON THE HILL.

HMM...

AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHETHER YOU CARE OR NOT,

YOUR ACTIONS HAVE SHOWED ABSOLUTELY VERBATIM WHAT YOU SAID.

SO, WHETHER YOU ACT LIKE YOU--

OH, MY ACTIONS,

BY ME GETTING A SPIN-OFF SHOW?

I'M-I'M SORRY.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING YOU GOT A SHOW.

ARE WE SURE-- ARE WE SURE?

YOU'RE SAYING THAT TO ME?

I'M SORRY.

TAMAR, YOU'RE SAYING THAT TO ME?

- LET'S MAKE SURE. - ARE YOU SAYING THAT TO ME?

I'M JUST MAKING SURE EVERYBODY FEEL LIKE THAT.

I'M DONE-- I'M OUTTA HERE, FOR REAL.

NO-NO-NO!

I'M OUT-- NO, TO THE FRICKIN' WAY.

- TONI BRAXTON! - NO WAY.

- TONI BRAXTON, COME BACK! - LET'S MAKE SURE EVERYBODY FEEL THAT WAY.

I'M OUT-- WHERE'S MY BAG?

I WAS REALLY UPSET WITH MYSELF FOR LEAVING THE SESSION

BECAUSE THE SAME THINGS I WAS TELLING THE GIRLS NOT TO DO,

I ENDED UP DOING.

I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE THINKS THAT.

SHE THINKS HER WHOLE FAMILY IS JEALOUS OF HER.

WE'RE HER SISTERS.

WHY WOULD WE NOT WANT HER TO WIN?

WHY ARE WE STILL HERE?

WE'RE HERE BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE.

NO, REALLY, WHY AM I STILL HERE?

LIKE, SERIOUSLY, LIKE, WHAT AM I DOING?

- WELL LET ME BACK UP. - NO.

HANG ON FOR A MINUTE.

THIS WHOLE MEETING WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MY TIME.

HOW THEY FEEL-- HOW THEY WANNA FEEL ABOUT ME,

I CANNOT RESOLVE.
