DID YOU BUY MY ALBUM?

I-- TRUST ME-- YES, I DID.

DID YOU BUY MY ALBUM-- EVERYBODY BOUGHT MY ALBUM?

YEAH.

I DIDN'T GET A PHONE CALL FROM NOBODY

WHEN IT WENT NUMBER ONE, AND IT CAME OUT.

I'M NOT UNDERSTANDIN' TAMAR.

SHE WANTS US TO TEXT HER TO SAY, "CONGRATULATIONS!

"I JUST HAD A BIG .

"CONGRATULATIONS, TA--" I MEAN, WHY WOULD--

WHY, TAMAR?

YOU WANT US TO TEXT YOU OR CALL YOU EVERY TIME

YOU DO SOMETHIN'.

TAMAR DOESN'T REALLY GIVE A FLIP

ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE'S FEELINGS. - REALLY?

BUT, WHAT IT REFLECTS BACK TO, IS YOU-- FEELING.

IT'S REALLY WHACK, HOW I FEEL.

- PLEASE-- PLEASE? - HASHTAG, AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT.

HASHTAG, WHY WE GOTTA BE LIKE THAT?

BECAUSE I DIDN'T.

HASHTAG, YOU DON'T EVEN CALL ME.

I COULD'VE.

HASHTAG, I HAVEN'T EVEN HEARD FROM YOU IN TWO MONTHS.

AND IT'S RECIPROCATED.

HASHTAG, YOU'RE NOT VERY NICE TO ME.

AND IT'S RECIPROCATED-- AND IT'S RECIPROCATED.

HASHTAG, YOU'RE ALWAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MESS.

YEP-- IT'S RECIPROCATED.

HASHTAG, AND-AND IT'S ALWAYS THE BOTTOM LINE

AND THE COMMON DENOMINATOR IS TOWANDA CHLOE BRAXTON.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

♪ 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 ♪

I-I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID TO ANYBODY

TO NOT EVEN GET A TEXT TO SAY, "CONGRATULATIONS,

"BITCH," AT THE END, IF THAT'S HOW YOU FEEL.

- OKAY, BUT-- OKAY. - I'M JUST SAYIN'.

TAMAR, TRINA, TRACI, AND I ARE HAVING DINNER TONIGHT.

AND, UNFORTUNATELY, THINGS GOT HEATED

BECAUSE EVERYBODY GOT IN THEIR FEELINGS.

IT WAS ON TWITTER AND INSTAGRAM THAT I CONGRATULATED YOU.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYIN'.

I'M-I'M TALKIN' ABOUT I CAN'T SEE EVERYBODY

WHO TWEETS OR INSTAGRAM ME.

WELL, YOU CAN'T MAKE A BLANKET STATEMENT.

LIKE, BUT I CAN-- I CAN DAMN SURE SEE WHO TEXTS ME.

I DEFINITELY DID TWITTER, AND I CONGRATULATED YOU.

YEAH, BUT WHY DIDN'T YOU TEXT ME?

THIS IS SOMETHIN' THAT MY SISTERS

KNEW THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR.

TO NOT HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE

AND RESPECT THE MOST IS, YOU KNOW, VERY HEARTBREAKING,

AND SAD, AND HURTFUL.

JUST LIKE IT TOOK TWO SECONDS TO TWEET ME

TO SAY "CONGRATULATIONS," IT TAKES--

WELL, THAT'S JUST LIKE ON INSTAGRAM.

IT'S-- HOLD ON-- LET ME-- LET ME GET IT OUT.

INSTEAD OF-- INSTEAD OF YOU TALK-TALKIN' TO ME,

YOU PUT IT ON INSTAGRAM-- THAT'S THE SAME THING.

EXCUSE ME-- LET ME GET IT OUT.

LET ME GET IT OUT-- LET ME GET IT OUT.

IT WOULD-- IT WOULD'VE TAKE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME

TO TEXT ME TO SAY "CONGRATULATIONS."

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

THAT'S IT.

AND AS FAR AS YOUR INSTAGRAM, OKAY,

I HEARD ABOUT YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY AND WHEN IT WAS.

I CANCELED EVERYTHING TO COME TO YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY.

WE STILL HAVE NOT HAD A CONVERSATION SINCE THEN.

SO, THEREFORE, WHEN I SAW THAT YOU AND TRINA WAS AT,

UH, THE RESTAURANT,

AND IT WAS HASHTAG, FAMILY,

HASHTAG, FUN, I WAS IN MY FEELINGS,

DEEP IN MY FEELINGS, BECAUSE WHY?

YOU'RE OUT HERE IN L.A.

YOU COULDN'T CALL ME?

TRINA AND I HAD LUNCH TOGETHER, AND WE POSTED IT

ON INSTAGRAM AND SAID, "FUN TIMES, FAMILY."

YOU KNOW, ALL THE GOOD OLD JAZZ,

AND TAMAR POSTED SOME RIDICULOUSNESS.

SO, YOU KNOW, I'M IN MY FEELINGS.

I'M LIKE, "HASHTAG, THAT'S WHACK.

"HASHTAG, YOU'RE ALL IN THE SAME CITY AS ME.

"HASHTAG, ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS CALL ME.

"HASHTAG, I WOULDA CAME.

"HASHTAG, POINT BLANK AND THE PERIOD."

I WAS DEEP IN MY FEELINGS.

- AND IT MADE IT OKAY. - NO-- DIDN'T-- GUESS WHAT?

DIDN'T EVER SAY IT WAS OKAY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, MY SISTERS AND THE WAY

THAT WE HAVE COMMUNICATED HAS BEEN IN FRONT OF...

EVERYONE TO SEE.

WELL, I WAS TRYIN' TO TALK TO TOWANDA DIRECTLY.

SHE SAID, YOU KNOW, "WELL, I HIT YOU ON TWITTER

"AND SAID CONGRATULATIONS."

SO, THAT'S COOL FOR YOU TO TALK TO ME THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA,

AND I CAN'T TALK TO YOU THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA?

BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY WAY

YOU WANNA COMMUNICATE WITH ME, 'CAUSE I TEXT YOU.

I CALLED YOUR PHONE.

IN EVERY SITUATION, IN EVERY CONVERSATION,

IT ALWAYS REVERTS BACK TO HOW EVERYBODY'S HURTING TAMAR.

- REALLY-- THAT'S WHAT I DO? - YES-- SURE.

EVERYBODY AT THIS TABLE HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH TAMAR.

THAT'S THE COMMON DENOMINATOR.

AND I BELIEVE EVERYBODY AT THIS TABLE HAS HAD

AN ISSUE WITH YOU, BUT YOU'RE SUCH A BULLY,

P-PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO TELL YOU THAT.

I'M A BULLY?

EVERYBODY CAN SAY I'M THE COMMON DENOMINATOR,

IF YOU WANT TO... AM I THE REAL PROBLEM?

NO, I'M NOT THE REAL PROBLEM.

WHEN TOWANDA COMES AROUND, EVERYBODY ACTS LIKE

IT'S NOT COOL TO BE COOL WITH ME,

AND THAT'S WHAT A BULLY IS.

TAMAR IS CALLING ME A BULLY

BECAUSE IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE.

WHENEVER YOU DON'T SEE THINGS TAMAR'S WAY,

YOU'RE A BULLY.

WHENEVER YOU CONFRONT TAMAR, YOU'RE A BULLY.

YOU'RE THE MEAN GIRL. - HOW AM I-- HOW AM I THE MEAN GIRL?

- ARE YOU SERIOUS? - HOW AM I THE MEAN GIRL WHEN I'M OSTRACIZED?

TAMAR, THAT'S JUST LIKE THE-- THAT-THAT--

HOW AM I THE MEAN GIRL WHEN I'M OSTRACIZED?

EXCUSE ME-- I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHAT IT ABSOLUTELY IS.

OKAY, WHAT IS IT?

THE WAY THAT YOU ACTED AND REACTED ON INSTAGRAM

THAT WAS TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER.

BUT, YOU-YOU WERE USING INSTAGRAM--

THAT WAS TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER.

YOU WERE USING INSTAGRAM TO GIVE YOURSELF A REASON

FOR NOT-- FOR NOT DEALING WITH ME.

S-- ARE YOU SERIOUS?

ARE YOU SERIOUS-- ARE YOU SERIOUS?

YES--OH, YES, BECAUSE GUESS WHY.

- PLEASE, PLEASE, TAMAR, PLEASE. - THE REAL PROBLEM,

IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO BE HONEST,

AND IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO BE AN ADULT,

AND IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO HASH THINGS OUT WITH ME--

IF I WANTED TO BE AN ADULT?

YOU WOULD ADMIT TO YOURSELF THE FACT OF THE MATTER

THAT YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT-- YOU CAN'T TAKE IT.

IF I WANTED TO BE AN ADULT?

YOU CAN'T CALL ME, YOU CAN'T SAY, "BITCH,

"HOW YA DOIN, HO?

"WHAT YOU DOIN'-- WHAT'S UP?

"HOW YOU FEELIN'?"

YOU CAN'T DO THAT. - AND MY PHONE RINGS, TOO.

YOU WANNA KNOW WHY-- BECAUSE YOU'RE MEAN, AND YOU'RE HATEFUL,

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE. - I'M MEAN-- I'M MEAN?

I'M HATEFUL?

THAT'S HILARIOUS. - YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE TO BE.

I'M MEAN, AND I'M HATEFUL-- THAT'S FUNNY.

AND EVERY TIME, YOU KNOW, TOWANDA FEELS A CERTAIN WAY,

EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD HAS TO FEEL THE WAY

THAT TOWANDA DOES, AND IF THEY DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT,

THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE KICKED OUT OF THE CLUB.

THAT'S HILARIOUS-- THAT'S HILARIOUS.

BUT, I'M THE MEAN PERSON, AND I'M THE OSTRACIZED ONE.

BUT LET ME TELL YA SOMETHIN', LET ME TELL YA SOMETHIN'.

I-- TOWANDA DOESN'T HAVE A PROBLEM.

BUT, TAMAR WAS THERE FOR YOU ON YOUR 40th BIRTHDAY.

YOU WASN'T THERE FOR ME DURING HER SUCCESS STORY.

- TOWANDA DOESN'T HAVE-- - BUT, I AM THE MEAN GIRL.

OH, SO BEING 40 IS A SUCCESS STORY?

THAT WAS-- THAT IS A SUCCESS STORY.

GET-GET OUTTA HERE, TAMAR-- MAKE IT ABOUT YOU, LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO.

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE NOT MADE IT TO 40?

EXCUSE ME, GIRLS.

- YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL AND 40. - HI, DARLING-- HOW ARE YOU?

HEY-- CAN I GET ANOTHER ONE, PLEASE?

- MAKE IT ABOUT YOU. - SURE.

I NEED ANOTHER ROUND-- CAN YOU MAKE MINE A DOUBLE?

I'M MEAN AND HATEFUL-- THAT'S HILARIOUS.

MAKE MINE DOUBLE-- MAKE MINE REAL HARD AND STRONG.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

I CAN SHOW YOU HATEFUL, THOUGH.

I-I'VE SEEN IT.

NO, MAKE IT FOUR-- TWO FOR HER AND TWO FOR ME.

YEAH, KEEP SITTING BECAUSE IT'S COMING.

UM, CAN I GET SOME CHICKEN SATAY, PLEASE?

- TRUST ME. - I HAVE A QUESTION.

SO-- I'M SORRY. - SURE.

GUESS WHAT, TOWANDA-- NOTHING'S YOUR FAULT.

IT'S ME. - YOU'RE RIGHT.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE REALIZING THAT, FINALLY.

I'M THE MEAN GIRL-- I'M-I'M THE HEIFER.

I THANK YOU FOR REALIZING THAT.

I'M-- I STAB EVERYBODY IN THE BACK.

- YOU DO, ACTUALLY. - I'M WHACK.

- YEAH. - OKAY, WAIT.

CAN WE-- CAN-- NOT IN FRONT OF THE COMPANY, HONEYS.

THANK YOU. - CAN I TAKE THAT?

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE.

ALL THE OTHER STUFF IS DUMB.

WE'RE FAMILY... GET OVER IT.

IF YOU CAN FORGIVE YOUR HUSBANDS,

YOU CAN FORGIVE YOUR SISTERS, WHATEVER IT IS-- BOOM.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DON'T TALK TO ME.

BUT, IF I HAVE HURT YOU AND OFFENDED YOU,

WHICH I AM SURE I HAVE, I'M HUMAN, I APOLOGIZE.

TIMES WHEN I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THINGS

AND I DID, I APOLOGIZE.

AND I-I JUST WANT, IN RETURN,

TO KNOW WHAT HAS GOTTEN YOU TO THIS POINT,

BECAUSE IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU HATE ME

AND CAN'T STOMACH ME.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE MY-MY SISTERS BACK...

AND FUN BACK.

AND...

IT'S-IT'S, LIKE, IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

WHY ARE WE FIGHTING?

WHY-WHY YOU NOT SPEAKING TO ME?

WHY YOU NOT TEXTING ME BACK?

LIKE, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT EVERYTHING TO BE COOL.

SO, YOU KNOW, ME TAKING THE BLAME

AND ME SAYING I'M SORRY IS WORTH IT.

OKAY, FORGET IT-- IT'S ME.

I'M SORRY-- I DID IT.

SO NOW, CAN WE BE COOL?

NO.

- FRESH AIR-- IT'S HOT. - UGH.

- WALKIN' IN THE SUNLIGHT. - IT IS.

IT'S HOTTER THAN A WATUSI'S BOOTY.

TRACI, TRINA, AND I ARE GOING OUT FOR A HIKE,

AND I THINK THAT WE ARE ALL JUST A LITTLE FRUSTRATED,

AND I'M HOPIN' THAT, TODAY, WE CAN WORK OFF

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THE STRESS.

- IT'S HOT. - I'M TIRED ALREADY.

I MEAN, HOW LONG WE BEEN GOIN'?

- FIVE MINUTES. - IS IT?

- YEAH, THAT'S IT. - IT FEELS LONGER.

- MMM. - IT'S NOT.

- HOW FAR ARE WE GOING? - WE'RE JUST WALKING.

YOU GOTTA-- THIS IS HOW YOU CLEAR YOUR MIND.

UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME-- I THINK THEY ALREADY WENT HOME.

- PHEW. - IT'S ALMOST LIKE MEDITATING.

- OKAY. - BEING ONE WITH THE NATURE.

I HAVE A QUESTION. - MMM-HMM.

DO YOU GUYS EVER THINK THAT THE TIGHTNESS

OF OUR SISTERHOOD WILL BE TIGHT, AGAIN?

I THINK IT WOULD BE.

I THINK WE'RE ALL GOIN' THROUGH DIFFERENT PHASES.

IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME.

YOU KNOW, I REALLY HONESTLY HOPE SO.

WHAT DO YOU THINK CHANGED?

WE DEFINITELY STOPPED COMMUNICATING PROPERLY.

I THINK WE ALSO STOPPED RESPECTING ONE ANOTHER'S SPACE.

- I AGREE WITH THAT. - I THINK, WHEN WE WERE, UM,

WHEN WE WERE KIDS,

WE ALWAYS KNEW EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON

IN EVERYBODY'S LIVES,

AND IT'S NOT LIKE THAT ANYMORE.

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

BABYFACE AND I RELEASED OUR FIRST SINGLE, "HURT YOU,"

AND WE NEED TO SHOOT A VIDEO.

FR

WHEN FR

WHEN WE FR

WHEN WE WERE FR

WHEN WE WERE KIDS, FR

WHEN WE WERE KIDS, WE FR

WHEN WE WERE KIDS, WE ALWAYS FR

WHEN WE WERE KIDS, WE ALWAYS KNEW FR

WHEN WE WERE KIDS, WE ALWAYS KNEW EVERYTHING FR

THAT WAS GOING ON IN EVERYBODY'S LIVES,

AND IT'S NOT LIKE THAT ANYMORE.

ME AND TAMAR'S RELATIONSHIP IS A MESS,

AND I THINK THAT THE SOCIAL MEDIA SITUATION

TOOK IT TO A HIGHER HEIGHT.

THAT WHOLE INSTAGRAM SITUATION WAS A POOR EXCUSE

OF THE REAL REASON, THAT SHE MISSES HER SISTERS.

I JUST THINK THAT TAMAR'S APPROACH IS A BIT AGGRESSIVE,

AND NO ONE CAN HEAR WHEN YOU'RE BEING LIKE THAT.

NOW, LOOK AT HOW PRETTY THIS IS.

- MMM-HMM. - YEAH, THAT'S NICE.

SEE-- LOOK-LOOK... LOOK AT IT.

- OH, WOW! - IT'S PRETTY.

TAMAR MISSES US, NOW MORE SO THAN EVER,

AND WHEN SHE SEES US HANGING OUT TOGETHER AND HAVIN' FUN,

SHE FEELS LIKE SHE'S MISSING OUT,

AND SHE WANTS TO BE A PART OF IT.

AND IT HAS CHANGED DRASTICALLY IN THE PAST YEAR

BECAUSE SHE HAS A NEW RECORD OUT.

SHE'S GOING ON TOUR.

SO, ABSOLUTELY, SHE'S-- SHE IS MISSING OUT

A LITTLE BIT 'CAUSE SHE'S NOT ABLE TO BE WITH US.

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WE WOULD JUST BE ON THE PHONE

FROM BEGINNING OF THE MORNING, AND WHEN THE KIDS

CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL, WE WERE STILL ON THE PHONE,

ALL FIVE OF US, NO MATTER WHAT WE WERE DOING.

AND WE'RE SO CLOSE WITH EACH OTHER

THAT THINGS JUST TEND TO HURT OUR FEELINGS

SO MUCH MORE THAN OUTSIDERS,

AND WE'RE MORE APT TO FORGIVE THEM SOONER

THAN WE ARE TO THINGS THAT'S GOING ON

WITH EACH OTHER. - I AGREE.

THERE IS JUST CERTAIN THINGS

THAT YOU SHOULDN'T SPILL OUT

FOR THE WORLD TO SEE. - HUH.

AND THAT'S JUST HOW I FEEL PERSONALLY.

AND MY THING IS, IF IT'S-- IF IT'S NOT OKAY FOR ONE TO DO,

THEN IT'S NOT OKAY FOR THE OTHER TO DO.

I THINK TAMAR WAS ABSOLUTELY IN HER FEELINGS

ABOUT WHAT SHE WROTE ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

BUT, TOWANDA DOESN'T HAVE ROOM TO TALK ABOUT

SOME OF THE SISTER SPILLING BUSINESS IN A PUBLIC FORUM,

ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE TALKED ABOUT TRACI'S SITUATION

WITHOUT TRACI'S KNOWLEDGE, OR WITHOUT TRACI BEING THERE.

THAT WASN'T COOL.

TRACI HAS SHARED WITH US, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS,

THAT HER HUSBAND HAS EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES.

LIKE, HE GOT A COUPLE BITCHES.

THERE MAY BE AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD INVOLVED.

BITCH, WHAT?

I THINK THIS-- THIS CLIMB WAS LIKE--

IT'S LIKE A METAPHOR TO OUR SISTERHOOD.

IT WAS ROUGH COMIN' UP THE HILL,

BUT LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL IT ENDS UP.

REACHED NEW HEIGHTS.

SEE?

ISN'T THIS PRETTY, GUYS?

I FEEL LIKE I'S IN "THE COLOR PURPLE."

IT'S SO HOT, YA'LL-- I CAN'T TAKE THIS.

I-I THINK I'M GOING THROUGH A CHANGE OF LIFE.

YOU ARE NOT GO-- TRINA, YOU'RE ONLY A YEAR

YOUNGER THAN ME-- THAT WOULD MEAN--

- 15 MONTHS. - EXACTLY.

IF YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THE CHANGE,

I WOULD HAVE TO BE GOING THROUGH THE CHANGE.

NOT NECESSARILY-- EVERYBODY'S DIFFERENT.

WELL, I'M DIFFERENT BECAUSE, HONEY,

I AM NOT GOING THROUGH THE CHANGE.

TONI, WHY DO YOU HAVE CHILDPROOF CABINETS

AND YOUR KIDS ARE GROWN?

FOR EARTHQUAKES, AND I DON'T WANT--

THEY'RE MY FAVORITE DISHES.

- OH. - YEAH.

SO, THAT'S WHY I DO 'EM-- HEY, TRAY.

- HEY, HEY, HEY. - THAT MAKES SENSE-- HEY, TRACI.

TRACI AND I ARE JOINING TONI THIS MORNING

FOR SOME TEA, TONI'S FAVORITE,

BEFORE SHE GOES OFF TO SHOOT THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR "HURT YOU."

AND WE HAVE TO CATCH WHATEVER SISTER TIME

THAT WE HAVE WITH TONI 'CAUSE SHE'S BEEN SO BUSY, LATELY.

DON'T FORGET THE SAUCERS-- JUST SAYIN'.

- THAT ONE DON'T GO. - OH, MY GOD.

- THAT ONE DON'T GO. - THAT'S--

HOW'D YOU DO ON THE APTITUDE TEST?

I DID GOOD.

THESE ARE ALL-- THESE ARE ONLY ONES THAT ARE UP HERE.

THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE UP HERE?

I CAN'T HELP BECAUSE YOUR PEOPLE

PUT THE STUFF AWAY WRONG.

LOOK AT THIS-- SEE THIS SHAPE?

SEE THIS SHAPE?

BIG CIRCLE-- THERE YOU GO.

IT'S JUST SIMPLE.

SEE THE TEENY CIRCLE?

PUT THE LITTLE TEACUP HERE.

- TONI BRAXTON. - THERE YOU GO.

I CAN'T HELP BECAUSE YOUR PEOPLE

PUT THE STUFF IN WRONG.

WELL, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KNOW SHAPES.

MOVE-- SIT DOWN, PLEASE.

- I'M DISAPPOINTED. - YOU SHOULDN'T BE.

WE'VE BEEN OVER AFTERNOON TEA.

YOU SHOULD BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE PEOPLE

WHO PUT YOUR STUFF AWAY WRONG.

- WHERE? - IN COMPTON.

THE COMPTON SWAP MEET IS IN SOUTH L.A.,

AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS PLACE...

IT'S WHERE IMPORTANT HIP HOP ARTISTS,

LIKE WARREN G., DR. DRE,

WERE DISCOVERED AND PROMOTED BACK IN THE '80s.

NOW, IT'S TRACI'S TIME.

OH, HAVE FUN!

YA'LL ARE NOT GONNA COME WITH ME?

WHAT IS THAT-- IS IT LIKE A CHARITY?

NO, FOR, UM, PROMOTION.

- FOR WHO? - ME.

MY MANAGER WANTS ME TO DO MORE PROMOTIONS

FOR MY RADIO SHOW AND MY UPCOMING SOLO ALBUM.

I AM PLANNING TO RECORD SOON, YA'LL-- YES.

I LOVE YOU, BUT I'M NOT COMING.

I KNOW YOU GOT WORK TO DO.

NO, I'M JUST NOT GONNA COME--I'M OFF.

THIS IS TOMORROW? - I THINK IT IS.

NO, I'M NOT COMIN'.

TOWANDA CAN COME-- TOWANDA'S NOT OFF.

OH, YEAH-- MAYBE YOU CAN PICK OUT AN OUTFIT FOR ME.

WHAT AM I DOIN', TONI-- TELL ME WHAT I'M DOIN'.

NOT THAT I WOULDN'T LOVE TO COME-- I'M JUST OFF.

I NEVER GET OFF DAYS-- I HAVE AN OFF DAY.

I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR ANYBODY.

I'M GONNA BE SHOOTING MY MUSIC VIDEO FOR "HURT YOU"

IN A FEW HOURS, SO I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE A LONG DAY.

TOMORROW IS MY FIRST DAY OFF IN A LONG TIME,

AND I WANNA SUPPORT TRACI,

BUT SUPPORTING DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN GOING THERE.

I JUST NEED SOME TIME TO MYSELF TO WATCH MY FAVORITE MOVIE,

LIKE "GONE WITH THE WIND," AND EAT SOME SEE'S CANDY,

AND DRINK A COUPLE GLASSES OF CHAMPAGNE.

I NEED THAT REALLY BADLY.

TOWANDA'S GONNA GO WITH YOU. - OH, THAT'S SO DELIGHTFUL.

THANK YOU. - SHE'S THE MIDDLE CHILD.

SHE HAS TO GO. - MIDDLE--

THESE ARE SOME TEAS.

TRACI, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

- THANK YOU-- YAY! - BUT--

- ARE YOU GONNA SING? - NO, I'M NOT SINGING.

SHE'S JUST MEETIN' PEOPLE, AND SAYIN' HI,

AND SHAKIN' HANDS. - I'M JUST MEETING PEOPLE.

HI, AUTOGRAPH, PICTURES, AND THAT'S IT.

LOOK AT THAT-- THAT IS DELICIOUS.

- UH-UH. - WHY YOU ACTIN' LIKE IT'S POO?

IT'S TEA.

WANT SOME SUGAR? - YES.

I'LL GET THE SUGAR.

OH, I GOT THESE MAPLE CRYSTAL SUGARS.

OH, THEY'RE SO YUMMY-- LET ME GET IT.

CAME OFF OF SOMEBODY'S BARK OF A TREE.

I'M ALMOST DONE.

WHERE'D TOWANDA GO?

HEY.

BABYFACE AND I RELEASED OUR SINGLE, "HURT YOU,"

ABOUT A WEEK AGO, AND IT'S DOING REALLY GREAT.

I'M SO EXCITED.

AND WE'RE SHOOTING A MUSIC VIDEO FOR IT NOW.

WHICH WAY AM I GOING, GUYS?

WE READY, GUYS-- OKAY, I'M READY.

AND THE MUSIC VIDEO DIRECTOR IS RAY KAY,

AND HE'S WORKED WITH SO MANY GREAT ARTISTS,

WHOM I LOVE, LIKE CHER, AND BRITNEY, BEYONCE,

JUSTIN, LADY GAGA.

I MEAN, I'M JUST DROPPIN' A FEW NAMES,

BUT WE'RE JUST REALLY EXCITED TO BE WORKING WITH HIM.

KENNY AND I ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

THE DIRECTOR HAS COME UP WITH THREE SETUPS.

VERY SIMPLE, BUT POWERFUL-- ONE OF ME ON THE BED,

THE SECOND, IN THE CHAIR, AND THEN THERE'S GONNA BE

ONE OF ME AND KENNY TOGETHER.

- PICTURES UP! - PICTURES UP,

FROM THE TOP, PLEASE.

THIS IS GONNA BE HARD TO HIT-- P-PUNCH THE WALL.

WELL, WE ALSO HAVE THINGS THAT YOU CAN USE

TO THROW AT IT, TOO, JUST IN CASE.

- OKAY. - THE ICE BUCKET FIRST.

OUR ORIGINAL CONCEPT BEHIND THE MUSIC VIDEO

WAS "MR. AND MRS. SMITH."

BUT, THAT WAS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE.

SO, WE DECIDED TO MAKE IT A LITTLE SIMPLER

AND LET BREAKING DOWN THE WALL BE THE FIGHTING

THAT WE HAD WITHIN OURSELVES ABOUT EACH OTHER.

YOU GUYS COME UP TO THE WALL, BOTH OF YOU GUYS,

KINDA LIKE FEELING THAT THERE'S A WALL BETWEEN YOU GUYS.

YOU KNOW, LIKE, WANTING TO BREAK THROUGH IT.

JUST START, LIKE-LIKE, HITTING IT,

AND IT'S A SUPER THIN WALL. - OKAY.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'LL BE POSSIBLE TO, LIKE,

CRACK IT OPEN, YOU KNOW? - HERE WE GO!

I WAS SORT OF THINKING THAT YOU WOULD

GET THE FIRST ONE THROUGH WITH YOUR HAND,

AND THEN YOU WOULD PICK SOMETHING UP.

I REALLY HIT IT HARD, AND IT DIDN'T MOVE.

YOU KNOW, THE DIRECTOR HAS BEEN TRYING TO SELL ME

A DOLLAR AND A DREAM BECAUSE HE'S SAYING,

"THE WALL IS REALLY THIN-- IT'S PAPER THIN.

"YOU JUST HIT IT, AND IT'LL BREAK, AND IT'LL BURST."

IT DID NOT HAPPEN.

YOU NEED A DAMN SLEDGEHAMMER

TO BREAK THIS WALL, ACTUALLY.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, STEP BACK!

WE'RE GOING WITH THIS. - WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO PALM IT?

BRIAN, WE'RE GOING WITH THIS, OKAY?

ALL RIGHT, LET'S ROLL PLAYBACK, PLEASE.

GOD-- UGH!

.

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

YA'LL MOTHER WORKIN' ON MY DAMN NERVES.

I GOTS TO PEE.

I-I DIDN'T SAY-- I DIDN'T SAY--

THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T COMMUNICATE, 'CAUSE YOU JUST--

YOU GOTTA-- YOU GOTTA BE THE ONLY ONE TO TALK.

- WHOO! - OH, YOUR NAILS.

ALL THE WAY DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, BUT THAT'S OKAY.

- NONE OF US HAVE NAILS. - DAMN IT.

WE'RE SHOOTING OUR MUSIC VIDEO FOR "HURT YOU,"

AND I LITERALLY HURT MYSELF

PUNCHING THROUGH THIS FAKE WALL.

I PULLED 'EM OUT AND-- GOD-- UGH!

AND I BREAK A NAIL-- I MEAN, I BREAK IT.

YOU KNOW WHEN YOU BREAK IT ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE?

I BROKE IT DOWN THERE.

THIS IS NOT MY FAVORITE PART OF THE VIDEO.

NO.

I THINK GUYS THINK WOMEN ARE PRETENDING WHEN WE SAY,

"OH, I BROKE A NAIL-- MY NAIL HURTS."

NO, IT REALLY HURTS!

YOU BREAK IT PAST THE NAIL POINT, AND IT BLEEDS.

IT-IT REALLY HURTS, GUYS.

IT'S NOT JUST A GIRLY THING.

EVERY WOMAN OUT THERE, I KNOW THEY SYMPATHIZE

WITH ME ON THAT.

IT'S OKAY.

IT'S OKAY. - THEY'RE REAL.

YEAH, THEY'RE MY REAL NAILS.

- OOH. - THEY'RE NOT FAKE.

- THE, UH, DID IT BREAK? - DID WE GET IT, GUYS?

!

I RUN TO THE BATHROOM.

"OH, I BROKE A NAIL-- I HURT MY NAIL!"

I AM A LITTLE EMBARRASSED ABOUT THAT,

BUT I GET A BAND-AID, AND I RINSE OFF MY FINGER,

AND I FEEL BETTER.

IT WASN'T AS PROFESSIONAL AS I SHOULD'VE BEEN.

IT WAS A DEFINITE GIRLY GIRL MOMENT.

BUT, HEY, I AM A GIRL, SO I GOT THROUGH IT.

HERE WE GO.

POINT THE SMOKE THIS WAY, PLEASE.

MORE WITH THE ICE BUCKET FIRST.

FAKE LIKE I'M HITTING THIS.

- YEAH. - NO, DON'T DO THAT.

I DON'T WANT THE SUN SHINING THROUGH THE WALL.

ALL RIGHT.

ROLL PLAYBACK.

YEAH, OKAY.

OKAY, I'LL TELL YOU-- I'LL TELL YOU WHEN TO DO IT.

SO, THE FIRST-FIR-- THE FIRST TWO TIMES,

WITH THE BUCKET.

HIT THE WALL, RIGHT HERE.

HOLD ON, GUYS.

WE GAVE HER-- SORRY ABOUT THAT, TONI.

YOU GOT TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, SINCE IT CHANGED UP.

YOU CAN HIT THE WALL WITH THIS TWICE.

AND THEN, ONCE YOU STOP HITTING THE WALL WITH THAT,

THEN CHEAT BACK TO WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT

THE INVISIBLE WALL, OKAY? - OKAY-- GOT IT.

ALL RIGHT-- SORRY ABOUT THAT, GUYS.

OKAY, THANK YOU-- HERE WE GO.

TWO HITS AND THEN IT'S OUT.

ROLL SOUND!

I FINALLY BROKE THROUGH THIS WALL,

AND IT'S TIME FOR THE THIRD SETUP,

WHERE I SING TO BABYFACE,

AND THIS PART IS WONDERFUL.

ALL RIGHT.

AND, ROLL PLAYBACK!

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT-- NICE, NICE, NICE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH-- OKAY, GUYS.

TRACI, I'M YOUR CHAUFFEUR TODAY.

YAY-- THANK YOU.

YEAH, THAT'S TRUE. - WE SUPPOSED TO TAKE, UH, 405?

YEAH, GO ON THE 405-- YES, GO ON THE 405.

I'M SO GLAD I'M RIDING WITH MY SISTER.

- YOU EXCITED? - I AM.

BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, DO I NEED TO WEAR SOME ARMOR?

FOR WHAT?

IT'S NOT THE BAD COMPTON, IS IT?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT, THE BAD COMPTON?

I WORE-- I WORE BURNT ORANGE,

SO I WOULDN'T WEAR RED OR BLUE.

SO, ARE YOU GONNA TALK TO-TO EVERYBODY?

OR, IS IT JUST PEOPLE LINING UP, SHAKING YOUR HAND,

AND SAYING HI? - NO, LINING UP,

SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS, AND TAKING PICTURES.

WANDA, I'M EXCITED,

AND I'M EXCITED THAT YOU ARE HERE.

I'M JUST DRIVING YOU-- I'M NOT GOIN' IN.

YEAH.

BUT, I'M JUST SAYIN'.

I MEAN, YOU GET A CHANCE TO CALM ME DOWN.

- TO CALM YOU DOWN? - YEAH, I DID HAVE SOME DRINKS.

WHAT?

YOU THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA? - I REALLY DO.

WELL, TAKE A NAP-- CLOSE YOUR EYES.

IT TAKES 45 MINUTES TO GET THERE.

- OKAY-- WELL, TAKE A NAP. - I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I'M TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO.

I KNEW THAT SHE WAS REALLY, REALLY NERVOUS,

AND THAT'S A PART OF THE REASON WHY I'M HERE,

JUST TO CALM HER DOWN, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW,

SOMETIMES, TRACI, WHEN SHE GETS NERVOUS,

SHE SAYS SOME CRAZY THINGS OUT OF HER LIPS.

SO...

ALTHOUGH I'M NOT ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY GOING IN

TO THE MEET AND GREET, I HAVE JAMES.

HE'S THERE-- THAT'S WHAT HE'S HERE FOR.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA BE BIG.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA BE TINY.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA BE LITTLE.

YOU THINK IT'S GONNA BE LITTLE?

TRACI, YOU ARE ON 50.

I HAVE TO TINKLE.

MMM-HMM.

WE'RE GOIN' TO THE SWAP MEET.

SO, I'M GONNA GET ME A PONYTAIL WITH SOME GEL EDGES.

YEAH-- YOU CAN GO SHOPPIN' THERE, RIGHT?

YEAH.

SO, WE CAN GET KNICK-KNACK, PADDY-WHACK,

GIVE A DOG A BONE. - YOU WON'T BE SHOPPIN'.

YOU'RE MEETIN' AND GREETIN'.

I CAN GET SOME COSTUME JEWELRIES.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE SHOPPIN'.

YOU GOTTA WORK-- YOU'RE BOOKED.

- YOU GOTTA CLOCK IN. - YOU'RE BOOKED.

OH, TRACI, LOOK, YOUR PICTURES ARE EVERYWHERE!

HEY, EVERYBODY, LOOK-- IT'S TRACI!

- I GOTTA PEE. - TRACI, GOOD LUCK.

I'M PROUD OF YOU-- YOU ENJOY YOURSELF.

I GOTTA PEE-- OH, GOD-- I GOTTA PEE.

- YOU-- BYE! - I GOTTA PEE SO BAD.

WHY TOWANDA'S NOT GETTIN' OUT OF THE CAR?

YOU AIN'T USED TO THE HOOD?

DON'T ACT LIKE WE DIDN'T HAVE NO FAMILY MEMBERS

THIS IS OUR PEOPLE, HONEY.

I'M JUST ALLOWING TRACI TO HAVE HER MOMENT, RIGHT NOW.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S ABSOLUTELY NOT ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I JUST THINK THAT IT'S TIME FOR TRACI

OH, NO, DINO-- WE AIN'T DOIN' THAT.

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

AND THEY TELL ME, "WELL, I INSTAGRAMMED YOU."

- STAND UP AND TALK. - IT'S NOT THE SAME.

AND-AND ALL I'M SAYING IS,

SOMEBODY SAYIN' CONGRATULATIONS-- SOMEBODY SAYIN' IT'S WHACK.

IT'S ALL THE SAME DAMN THING.

NO, IT'S NOT.

HASHTAG,

HASHTAG, TRY

HASHTAG, TRY IT.

- HASHTAG, TRY IT. - NO--

- HASHTAG, TRY IT. - NO-- OH,

- HASHTAG, TRY IT. - NO-- OH, TAMAR.

HASHTAG, TRUST ME.

HASHTAG, SHE CAN'T HANDLE IT.

- HASHTAG, WAIT A MINUTE. - HASHTAG, LET'S GO.

HASHTAG, PLEASE. - WE'RE NOT DOING THAT.

HASHTAG, FAMILY... HASHTAG, FUN... HASHTAG, PIZZA.

HASHTAG, WHY IS YOU MAD ALL THE TIME, GIRL?

HASHTAG, COME HOME.

HASHTAG, SHE'S BEAT WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING-- M'KAY?

ACTUALLY, I DON'T LIKE YOUR MAKEUP TODAY.

HASHTAG, PLEASE.

HASHTAG, SHE IS BEAT FOR THE SUN GOD.

HASHTAG, SHE IS BEAT FOR THE SHOE GOD.

SHE'S BEAT FOR THE SHIRT GOD.

HASHTAG, BITCH, YOU WON.

HASHTAG, NOTHING-- HASHTAG, TOLD YOU SO.

SO, HASHTAG, PLEASE TELL ME,

SO, HASHTAG, WE CAN MOVE ALONG.

CAN YOU STOP GRABBING AIR?

HASHTAG, GET OVER IT ALREADY, LIKE...

- THANK YOU. - YOU'RE WELCOME.

OH, NO, DINO-- WE AIN'T DOIN' THAT.

I CAN'T GET A KISS ON MY CHEEK?

NO-- UH-UH.

- WE CLOSE ENOUGH. - ALL RIGHT.

THAT WOULD MESS HER LIP GLOSS UP.

UH, EXCUSE ME.

WHY YOU ASKIN' ME TO GIVE YOU A KISS ON YOUR DARN CHEEK,

KNOWIN' YOUR GIRL IS AROUND THE CORNER?

UH-UH-- YOU AIN'T SETTIN' ME UP.

THIS IS NOT GONNA BE A COMPTON FIGHT MEET HERE.

HI-- HOW ARE YOU?

OH, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

I MEAN, BABY, YOU GOT A WIFE AROUND HERE?

- I-- HUH? - YOU GOT A WIFE AROUND HERE?

GIRL AROUND HERE? - NO-NO.

OH, 'CAUSE I'M GONNA SAY--

NO, WE'RE GOOD-- WE'RE GOOD.

EVEN THOUGH I'M SITTING DOWN

AND MY FOOT IS KILLING ME,

THERE'S NOTHING THAT I WOULDN'T DO FOR MY FANS.

WHAT IS YOUR NAME? - ANIYAH.

- HOW OLD ARE YOU, ANIYAH? - NINE.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA BECOME WHEN YOU GROW UP?

- A DOCTOR. - I KNOW THAT.

GIRL, I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT-- WHAT KINDA DOCTOR?

FOR, LIKE, LITTLE BABIES.

A PEDIATRICIAN-- YAY!

YOU MAKE SURE THAT YOU BECOME A PEDIATRICIAN, OKAY?

AND YOU FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS.

NEVER STOP IT, OKAY, ANIYAH?

- MMM-HMM. - OKAY, LET'S TAKE A PICTURE.

- AW, HOW PRETTY IS THAT? - YAY!

YOU DID THAT, ANIYAH.

YOU WEREN'T EVEN THAT SCARED.

LOOK AT THAT. - WANT YOUR PICTURE?

YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEAVE MY PICTURE.

AND NOW, YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEAVE MY PICTURE?

REALLY-- THAT'S WHAT YOU DO? - THANK YOU.

HI.

I BROUGHT YOU SOME SOCKS 'CAUSE YOU WANTED SOME.

OH, YOU GOT ME SOME SOCKS!

OH, YOU'RE SO NICE AND SWEET-- OH.

DID YOU SEE MY GIRL?

SHE BROUGHT ME SOME SOCKS.

SHE SAW ME TAKE MY SHOES OFF,

AND I NEEDED SOME SOCKS, HONEY.

I DO BELIEVE I HAVE THE MOST THOUGHTFUL FANS

IN THE WORLD.

YAY, TRAY-BIRDS.

- WHAT'S UP? - WHAT'S UP?

- NOTHIN' MUCH. - HOW YOU DOIN'?

ALL RIGHT-- I NEED A SIGNATURE FOR RAQUEL BEASLEY.

SO, YOU NEED A-A SIGNATURE FOR RAQUEL?

RAQUEL BEASLEY.

REALLY, "STAY BLACK?"

REALLY? - "STAY BLACK."

"AND BLACK."

- THAT'S WHAT'S UP. - OKAY... I QUIT.

SHE TOLD ME TO STAY BLACK.

BYE-- THANK YA'LL!

THAT WAS FUN.

THAT WAS-- YOU LOOK GREAT.

- THANK YOU. - HAD A GOOD TIME.

HI-- YEAH.

I WILL TRY TO TELL HER.

SHE PROBABLY WILL.

- THAT'S TOWANDA. - IS THAT TAMAR?

NO, THAT'S TOWANDA.

TOWANDA, YOU WANNA STAY IN THE CAR.

THAT IS SO FUNNY.

YOU FORGOT YOUR BULLETPROOF VEST.

I LOVE COMPTON.

YOU MISSED IT ALL!

MY ALLERGIES ARE KICKIN' MY BUTT.

HOW PUFFY ARE MY CHEEKS?

YEAH, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU BEEN SNIFFIN' A CAT.

I KNOW, RIGHT?

- THAT'S YOUR HOT TODDY. - THAT'S MY HOT TODDY.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

- HELLO, LADIES. - HELLO.

- WE GOT A HOT TODDY. - WILL I BE ABLE TO TOUCH IT?

IT'S HOT-- THANKS.

- OOH, THAT SMELLS-- - YOU WANT ONE, TOO?

NO, I'LL FIGURE OUT SOMETHING IN A SECOND.

THANK YOU. - THANK YOU.

IT'S NOT HOT.

- IS IT WARM? - IT'S A WARM TODDY.

LET ME SEE.

WHAT?

HAS A LOT OF ALCOHOL.

WHOA!

WHOO! - REALLY?

- WOW. - GIVE IT TO TRINA.

SHE'LL DRINK IT. - WOW.

I THINK I'M DRUNK.

HEY... HEY. - HEY, SISSY.

TODAY, MY SISTERS AND I ARE MEETING FOR LUNCH

BECAUSE WE REALLY NEED TO TALK.

APPARENTLY, THEY HAD A BLOWOUT AT DINNER

THE OTHER NIGHT, AND I WASN'T THERE.

THANK GOD!

BUT, I'M HERE TODAY TO HOPEFULLY HELP US

ALL COME TOGETHER.

DO YOU GUYS WANNA COME TO MY PERFORMANCE?

YOU HAVE A PERFORMANCE TONIGHT?

LIKE, IN 20 MINUTES, AT ARSENIO HALL.

- HEY, GIRLS. - HEY-HEY-HEY.

AND I'M ALWAYS CIVIL AND COMFORTABLE WITH TAMAR,

ALWAYS.

EVEN WHEN SHE'S NOT WITH ME, I AM WITH HER,

BECAUSE I HAVE TO BE THE BIGGER SISTER.

I JUST CAN'T WAIT UNTIL WE CAN ALL GET PAST THIS.

SO, OKAY, NO SHADE.

I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WHEN I HEARD ABOUT

THE LITTLE THINGY EVERYBODY HAD AT THE RESTAURANT

THE OTHER DAY.

TODAY IS THE FIRST STEP. - WHAT YOU HEARD?

- THAT IT WAS A LOT. - YEAH.

- WAS IT A LOT? - IT WAS.

THAT'S ALL YOU HEARD-- WHO YOU HEARD IT FROM?

- A LOT OF PEOPLE. - .

- EVERYBODY. - YOU DIDN'T HEAR IT FROM ME.

I HEARD IT FROM EVERYBODY.

I HEARD IT WAS A LOT. - YOU HEARD IT

FROM ENOUGH PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM?

YEAH, IT WAS A LOT.

SO THAT MEANS EVERYBODY WAS IN THEIR FEELINGS.

WAS EVERYBODY IN THEIR FEELINGS?

WAS YOU IN YOUR FEELINGS, TRAY? - YEAH, I WAS IN MY FEELINGS.

- WAS YOU IN YOUR FEELINGS, TRINA? - YES.

WAS YOU IN YOUR FEELINGS, TOWANDA? - YES.

WAS YOU IN YOUR FEELINGS, TAMAR?

I WAS DEFINITELY IN MY FEELINGS.

SEE-- WE AGREED!

THAT'S A GOOD THING.

DON'T EVEN PUT NO SHADES ON,

'CAUSE THERE AIN'T NO SHADE UP ON HERE.

TAKE 'EM OFF. - NO-NO-NO.

EVERYBODY SHOULD BE-- HAVE A FEELING DAY,

AND, THAT WAY, WE CAN AT LEAST START COMMUNICATING.

YOU KNOW, I FELT LIKE THERE WAS A TIME I APOLOGIZED

TO TOWANDA THE OTHER NIGHT, AND NOBODY SAID NOTHIN' BACK,

AND THAT MADE ME FEEL LIKE,

OH, WELL, BITCH, IT'S ALL YOU.

HOW'D YOU APOLOGIZE?

- VERY CALMLY AND VERY NICE. - WHAT'D YOU SAY?

I SAID, "IF I DID ANYTHING, IF I HURT YOU,

"IF I SAID ANYTHING, IF I TREATED YOU--"

THAT'S NOT AN APOLOGY, THOUGH.

- NO, THAT IS AN APOLOGY-- - "IF I--" AND "IF I"

IS NOT AN APOLOGY.

AND LET ME TELL YOU WHY I SAY, "IF I,"

BECAUSE I ASKED HER SPECIFICALLY WHAT I DID,

AND SHE DIDN'T TELL ME-- THAT'S NOT MY FAULT.

WHEN A PERSON APOLOGIZES, THEY DON'T SAY,

" IF I'VE DONE ANYTHING TO HURT YOU."

NO.

IT'S, "I KNOW I HAVE DONE X, Y, AND Z TO HURT YOU."

OR, JUST SAY, "YOU KNOW WHAT?

"I'M SORRY."

OR, "I APOLOGIZE FOR HURTING YOU."

OR, "I APOLOGIZE FOR SAYING THESE THINGS TO YOU."

"IF" SHOULD NEVER COME INTO PLAY.

THAT MEANS YOU DON'T MEAN IT.

YOU DON'T KNOW UNLESS SOMEBODY TELL YOU.

- SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW. - NO, BUT, IN THIS CASE,

I REALLY, HONEST TO GOD, DON'T KNOW.

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

HOW MANY SHOWS HAVE YOU-- OF MINE YOU BEEN TO?

I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THAT SHOW.

HOW MANY SHOWS-- NO-NO-NO-NO, NOT "SUPPOSE."

NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO, I WAS SUPPOSED--

MY-BUT MY SON HAD A FLARE UP. - HOLD ON.

TRACI, CALM DOWN-- DON'T DO THAT!

I

I ASKED

I ASKED HER

I ASKED HER SPECIFICALLY

I ASKED HER SPECIFICALLY DON'TWHAT

I ASKED HER SPECIFICALLY DON'TWHAT I

I ASKED HER SPECIFICALLY DON'TWHAT I DID,

AND SHE DIDN'T TELL ME, AND THAT'S NOT MY FAULT.

YOU DON'T KNOW UNLESS SOMEBODY TELL YOU.

- SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW. - NO, BUT, IN THIS CASE,

I REALLY, HONEST TO GOD, DON'T KNOW.

ONCE AGAIN, SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE DID,

HASHTAG, THIS TIME, WHICH IS IMPORTANT.

I FITTIN' TO MAKE ME A SHIRT, WITH HASHTAG, "THISTIME."

LIKE, WHAT'D SHE DO?

I MEAN, DO YOU THINK ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS

BETWEEN ME AND TOWANDA?

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I... - I TOLD YOU.

THE THINGS THAT YOU PUT ON INSTAGRAM--

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU PUT THAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

WHY DID IT HURT YOUR FEELINGS?

INSTEAD OF TEXTING ME PERSONALLY,

YOU PUT THAT NEGATIVE THING ON INSTAGRAM

FOR THE WORLD TO-- - IT WASN'T NEGATIVE.

YOU DON'T THINK THAT WAS NEGATIVE?

I DON'T THINK IT WAS NEGATIVE,

SAYING THAT I HAVEN'T TALKED TO YOU.

YOU DON'T ACCEPT MY PHONE CALLS.

I DON'T CARE IF YOU SAY YOU DON'T, BUT IT'S THE TRUTH.

- NO-- NO-NO-NO-NO. - IT WASN'T AN ATTACK.

THAT WAS JUST THE SAME THING. - BUT-BUT, YOU-YOU--

OKAY, BUT YOU HAVE TO LET SOMEBODY TALK A LITTLE BIT.

I-I DIDN'T SAY-- I DIDN'T SAY YOU WAS A EVIL,

HATEFUL, HURTFUL BITCH ON-ON-ON INSTAGRAM.

SEE, THAT'S WHY WE-- THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T COMMUNICATE,

'CAUSE YOU JUST-- YOU-YOU GOTTA--

YOU GOTTA BE THE ONLY ONE TO TALK.

I HAVE 30 SECONDS, THEN I GOTTA GO.

THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO HURRY-HURRY UP AND GET IT ALL IN.

WHAT I-- WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY IS--

I LOVE MY BABY SISTER, TAMAR, BUT I HAVE TO BE HONEST.

SHE WANTS TO OVER-TALK YOU,

WHERE SHE DOESN'T LET YOU HAVE YOUR SAY,

AND SHE GETS LOUD,

AND SHE GETS OFFENDED BY EVERYTHING YOU SAY,

AND IT'S GETTING WORSE.

I'M HOPING THAT MAYBE SOME OF THE CONJUNCTIONS ARE HEARD.

THE "DO," THE "AND," AND THE "BUT."

JUST SOMETHING,

SO WE CAN AT LEAST GET PAST THIS POINT, AGAIN.

YOU FOUND IT NECESSARY TO ADDRESS ME ON INSTAGRAM,

AS WELL.

SO, IS "WHACK" A POSITIVE WORD, THOUGH?

NO, I DON'T THINK SAYING "WHACK,"

SOME-SOMETHING'S "WHACK," IS NEGATIVE-- NO, I DON'T.

I THINK, IF-IF YOU SAY SOMETHING IS WHACK,

IT'S AN OPINION.

SOMETHING IS-- SOME-- SAYING SOMETHING IS WHACK

IS NOT SAYING YOUR HAIR IS NAPPY.

IT'S NEGATIVE-- THAT'S A WHACK WEAVE.

IT'S ALL HOW YOU TAKE IT.

OH, SO NOW PEOPLE FIGHT OVER THE WORD "WHACK."

HASHTAG, WHACK?

STOP-- YOU'RE LOOKIN' FOR SOMETHIN'.

LET SOMEBODY SAY,

"TAMAR, THAT DRESS YOU HAVE ON IS WHACK."

OH, MY GOD!

THE MOUNTAINS WILL CRUMBLE, THE SEAS WILL ROAR.

NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE-- WHACK.

IT'S NEGATIVE.

WHAT'S WHACK, IS THIS.

YOU SAID, "WELL, I GOT 30 SECONDS.

"I GOTTA SAY WHAT I GOTTA SAY, WHAT I FEEL, REAL QUICK."

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

NOW, YOU GOT TO GO-- I'M SORRY.

I HAVE TO PULL TRUMP. - OH, I KNOW THAT.

YOU CAN'T PERFORM ON NO SHOW AND HAVE THIS ENERGY.

WELL, YOU KNOW, GUESS WHAT, TONI?

GUESS WHAT-- GUESS WHAT?

LET ME JUST EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO YOU.

GUESS HOW MY ENERGY HAS BEEN THESE--

I'M NOT EVEN GONNA CRY,

BUT LET ME TELL YA HOW MY ENERGY--

BUT LET ME TELL YOU HOW MY ENERGY HAS BEEN

FOR THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS, OKAY?

ALONE.

SHE'S ALONE-- SHE FEELS ALONE.

I CAN'T CALL MY SISTERS, AND, YOU KNOW, BE LIKE,

"WELL, CAN YOU COME, AND CAN YOU COME?"

NOBODY WANTS TO COME AND-AND-AND SUPPORT ME AND BE--

HOW MANY SHOWS HAVE YOU-- OF MINE YOU BEEN TO?

I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THAT SHOW.

HOW MANY SHOWS-- NO-NO-NO-NO, NOT "SUPPOSE."

- BUT, MY SON HAD A FLARE UP. - TRACI, CALM DOWN!

DON'T DO THAT-- DON'T DO THAT TODAY.

I'M JUST SAYIN', MY SON HAD A FLARE UP.

BUT, YOU WERE ABOUT TO GO THERE.

HOW MANY SHOWS HAVE YOU BEEN TO OF MINE?

- NONE. - OKAY, I HEAR YOU-- I'M GONNA NEED YOU GO TO.

HOWEVER, WHEN MY ALBUM WENT NUMBER ONE,

I WAS EXPECTING TO HAVE A TEXT,

OR AT LEAST A CALL, ANYTHING FROM MY SIBLINGS.

- GET UP. - AND-AND THEY TELL ME,

"WELL, I INSTAGRAMMED YOU." - STAND UP AND TALK.

- IT'S NOT THE SAME. - AND-AND ALL I'M SAYING IS,

SOMEBODY SAYIN' CONGRATULATIONS-- SOMEBODY SAYIN' IT'S WHACK.

IT'S ALL THE SAME DAMN THING.

- NO, IT'S NOT. - ALL RIGHT.

LET ME GO SING THIS FAITH SONG.

- GO HAVE A GOOD SHOW. - HAVE A GOOD SHOW-- BYE!

HAVE A GOOD SHOW-- KILL IT!

ONCE AGAIN, NOTHING GOT RESOLVED.

EXCEPT FOR... HASHTAG, IT'S HER FAULT,

WHICH IS ALWAYS THE END RESULT AT THE END OF THE DAY.

TELL ARSENIO WE SAID HI!

WOOF-WOOF-WOOF-WOOF-WOOF!

NOTHING?

UH-UH, 'CAUSE I JUST DON'T AGREE WITH THAT BEING THE SAME THING.

- I DON'T WHAT SHE MEANS. - SHE-SHE SAYS-- OKAY.

WHAT HAPPENED WAS, SHE ASKED-- - WHAT'S SHE MEAN, TRAY?

THAT THAT'S NOT OKAY FOR US TO PUT ON INSTAGRAM

TO CONGRATULATE HER. - CONGRATULATE HER.

TO LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT HER.

SHE'S NOT TAKING THAT INTO CONSIDERATION

THAT I AM PROUD OF YOU, TO LET THE WORLD KNOW.

IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THAT WASN'T ENOUGH.

- TAMAR'S SPOILED. - ROTTEN!

THIS IS ABOUT TAMAR BEIN' ROTTEN.

IT'S THAT WAY BECAUSE OF US.

WE'VE CREATED THIS MONSTER.

YOU KNOW, EVEN WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER, YOU KNOW,

WE'VE ALWAYS HAD TO SAY,

"OH, TAMAR, TAMAR, TAMAR, TAMAR, TAMAR, TAMAR, TAMAR,

"TAMAR, TAMAR, TAMAR, TAMAR, TAMAR, TAMAR."

YOU KNOW?

AND IT'S JUST-- IT'S THE WAY THAT WE ARE NOW.

I DON'T GET IT.

LIKE, CAN WE ALL GROW UP A LITTLE BIT, PLEASE?

THIS WAS A GOOD TALK.

SO, THIS IS GOOD.

YEAH, IT'S LIKE ROOM TO GROW.

IT'S LIKE STEPPING STONES. - WE GOT A LONG WAY.

WE MIGHT TAKE A STEP-- HALF A STEP BACKWARDS

BEFORE WE GO TO THE SECOND STEP.

WE CLEARLY NEED TO WORK THIS OUT,

BUT I THINK THAT TOWANDA AND TAMAR

ARE WAY TOO EMOTIONAL, RIGHT NOW.

THEY NEED TIME TO COOL OFF

BEFORE WE ADDRESS ANYTHING ELSE.

I THINK WE NEED A REAL SISTER TRIP.

SOMEWHERE FUN, THOUGH.

AND HAVE A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AT A HOTEL,

AND JUST CHILL OUT-- - I CAN'T DO THAT.

I GAIN FIVE POUNDS.

I CAN'T JUST CHILL OUT IN A HOTEL FOR A COUPLE DAYS.

I GOTTA HAVE ACTIVITIES WITH MY SISTER DAY.

- WELL, WE CAN DO ACTIVITIES-- - TRINA CAN BE IN CHARGE OF--

TRINA CANNOT BE IN CHARGE-- NO, SORRY.

I DO FUN STUFF!

NAME THREE THINGS THAT ARE FUN.

I THINK SKYDIVING MIGHT BE FUN.

I THINK PARASAILING MIGHT BE FUN.

JET SKIING MIGHT BE FUN.

YOGA MIGHT BE FUN. - YEAH.

BALLROOM DANCING EXERCISES WOULD BE FUN.

WE CAN'T JUST DO FUN TONI THINGS.

YOU WANNA BE IN CHARGE OF THE TRIP?

- I CAN DO IT. - IF YOU MESS IT UP THIS TIME,

WE AIN'T NEVER DOING-- - OKAY, SO CAN WE DO A WEEKEND?

- A WHAT? - A WHAT?

- FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY. - WHAT IS IT CALLED?

A "WE CAN?" - NO, I DID NOT SAY "WE CAN."

- YOU DID. - SHE DID.

- WEEK-END. - WEEK-END.

- WEEK-END. - WE CAN-- CAN YOU?

WE CAN-- WE CAN.
