"BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

YOU ALL'S FEELINGS GET IN THE WAY.

NO WONDER YOU CAN'T MOVE FORWARD.

IT'S BEEN BULL FOR AT LEAST ALMOST TWO YEARS!

OH.

TAMAR'S LEAVING.

NOW, EVERYBODY ELSE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY

TO SIT AROUND AND LAUGH, HA-HA, HEE-HEE, EXCEPT FOR ME,

AND I'M HAVIN' A PROBLEM. - BECAUSE YOU LEFT.

YOU LEFT-- THAT WAS BY CHOICE.

I AM THE WRONGEST ON THE PLANET.

I MEAN, MRS. WRONG.

YOU'RE WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG,

AND IT'S A LOT.

TONI IS GOING TO JAMAICA.

YA'LL NEED TO GET AWAY-- GO, HANG OUT, HAVE FUN.

THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!

WE GONNA STAY IN L.A. FOR A WHILE,

SO WE CAN FINISH THIS PROJECT, RIGHT?

YOU GUYS ARE MOVIN' TO L.A.?

YES, ABSOLUTELY.

SO THAT WE CAN FINISH THE ALBUM.

THE BIGGEST THING ABOUT A GIRL GROUP IS THE ARGUING,

AND THE BICKERING, AND THE FIGHTIN' FOR NO DAMN REASON.

CAN WE JUST GO AHEAD AND ENJOY OUR SISTER TRIP

AND HAVE FUN?

♪ 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 ♪

WATCH OUT, TRINA-- I WAS GONNA SAY UH-UH.

DON'T SIT IN TOWANDA'S SEAT.

SHE GONNA SIT RIGHT BESIDE TONI.

- WHAT? - HUH?

TOWANDA ALWAYS HAS TO SIT BESIDE TONI.

- NO, YOU DO. - NO, I DON'T.

SURE.

WE'RE BACK FROM JAMAICA AND IN L.A.

HAVING ONE LAST LUNCH BEFORE WE ALL SEPARATE.

- JAMAICA WAS FUN. - IT WAS SUPER FUN.

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE WE MADE SOME PROGRESS

AS FAR AS OUR ISSUES, IN JAMAICA,

AND I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT RECORDIN' THIS ALBUM

TOGETHER WITH MY SISTERS,

BUT SHE STILL HAVE HER DOUBTS, HONEY,

BECAUSE ONE LITTLE TRIP DOES NOT FIX EVERYTHING, OKAY?

ME, TRINA, AND TRACI ARE GONNA MOVE OUT HERE

FOR THIS ALBUM.

- VERY SOON. - RIGHT.

WHY CAN'T YA'LL JUST GET A NICE BIG HOUSE,

AND WE JUST HANG OUT, AND WE CAN WRITE,

WORK ON MUSIC, AND WRITE?

YES.

AFTER THE GIRLS MOVE HERE AND RENT A HOUSE,

WE CAN FINALLY WORK TOGETHER ON THIS ALBUM,

AND IF WE HAVEN'T KILLED EACH OTHER BY THEN,

THEN WE CAN GO INTO THE STUDIO AND START RECORDING.

BUT, THAT'S WHY I SAID WE COULD SIT AND WRITE SONGS,

COME UP WITH IDEAS, SO WE CAN GO IN THE STUDIO.

IF THE JACKSONS CAN DO IT, THE BRAXTONS CAN DO IT.

- YEAH. - ABSOLUTELY.

- OKAY, STOP. - YES.

- OKAY, GOOD AHEAD. - I AM NOT FRUSTRATED.

- GIRL, YEAH. - YOU ALL RIGHT?

I AM NOT FRUSTRATED AT ALL.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE OFFICIALLY A GIRL GROUP--

- DRAMA. - GIRL GROUP, BABY.

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH GIRL GROUPS IS DRAMA--

DESTINY'S CHILD, SUPREMES, DANITY KANE, ALL OF 'EM.

YOU KNOW, IT-- I MEAN, IT'S JUST WHEN DRAMA HAPPENS,

THE GROUP BREAK UP.

IF YOU GO INTO THE RECORD WITH ISSUES,

BY THE TIME IT'S TIME TO PROMOTE,

YOU AIN'T-- AIN'T NOBODY TOGETHER.

AIN'T NOBODY WANNA DO IT.

BUT, WE'RE GONNA DO INSPIRATIONAL SONGS.

LIKE, WHAT YOU MEAN BY INSPIRATIONAL?

WE WANT MUSIC THAT'S GONNA MAKE PEOPLE THINK.

LIKE "LOVE AND WAR," EVERYBODY'S BEEN THROUGH IT.

LIKE... - "WHERE DID WE GO WRONG?"

"WHERE DID WE GO WRONG?"

THAT'S ME AND GABE'S ANTHEM.

BUT, IT'S NOT INSPIRATIONAL.

YES, THAT IS-- THAT SAVED MY MARRIAGE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT.

"WHERE DID WE GO WRONG" IS A SONG FROM TONI

AND BABY FACE'S NEW ALBUM, AND IT'S DEFINITELY INSPIRATIONAL.

IT SAVED MY MARRIAGE, AND WE NEED A SONG LIKE THAT

ON OUR ALBUM, FOR SURE.

LIKE, YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT ME AND GABE WERE BREAKING UP

TO MAKE UP, WHICH IS NOT TRUE.

YES-YES, IT IS.

ALL THE TIME-- TRINA LOVES LOVE.

NO, I LOVE GABE.

I DIG THAT, TRINA, 'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?

TOWANDA NEVER SAYS THAT OUT LOUD.

I LOVE ANDRE, AND YES, GOD.

TOWANDA DON'T SAY THAT, NEVER.

YOU DON'T SCREAM IT OUT LOUD.

- THANK YOU. - I DON'T.

BUT, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT-- I REALLY FEEL SPECIAL.

WHY?

SITTING HERE WATCHING YOU GUYS HAVIN' A BALL

LIKE YOU USED TO.

I AM SO HAPPY THAT MY DAUGHTERS

ARE ENJOYING EACH OTHER, AGAIN,

BECAUSE AFTER THAT DINNER IN NEW YORK,

IT WAS A MESS.

NOBODY EVER CARED ABOUT HOW TOWANDA FELT!

NOBODY CARED ABOUT ME!

BUT, I REALLY WONDER IF THEY'RE READY

TO DO THIS ALBUM TOGETHER.

OKAY, EVERYBODY, TO A GREAT ALBUM.

OKAY, A TOAST.

TO BIG FUN, NEW THINGS, AND GETTIN' OUT OF TIRED LIFE,

AND BEIN' SKINNY, AND NOT GETTIN' FAT.

TO NEW BEGINNINGS!

all: CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-CLINK- CLINK-CLINK-CLINK-CLINK.

HEY.

HEY, YOU WERE WAITIN' FOR ME.

YEAH-- WELL, YOU JUST CALLED AND SAID

YOU WERE ABOUT TO TURN THE CORNER.

OKAY-- ALL RIGHT-- ALL RIGHT.

CAN YOU HELP ME MOVE SOME BOXES?

I'M BACK IN GEORGIA TO HELP GABE MOVE BACK

INTO THE HOUSE,

AND HE'S BEEN OUT OF THE HOUSE FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW,

AND WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF COUNSELING,

AND WE'RE IN A REALLY GOOD PLACE.

I GUESS WE CAN, UH, LOOK THROUGH THIS STUFF.

THAT ONE'S GOT A BUNCH OF BOOKS.

WELL, DO WE HAVE TO, LIKE, DO ALL THIS NOW?

YOU DON'T THINK WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT

WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NOW THAT YOU'RE BACK HOME?

OKAY-- SO, WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN

NOW THAT I'M BACK HOME?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT I JUST THINK THAT THERE NEED TO BE

SOME GROUND RULES, GABE.

I DON'T THINK THAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE

TO TAKE PICTURES BY YOURSELF WITH WOMEN.

I DON'T KNOW IF I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

GABE HAS GOTTEN IN TROUBLE IN THE PAST, YOU KNOW,

WITH WOMEN POSTING PICTURES OF-- HE'LL BE AT A CLUB,

AND THEY'LL POST PICTURES.

I SAY LET'S STAY AWAY FROM THE VERY APPEARANCE

OF SOMEONE WANTING TO PHOTO SHOP OR MAKE A LIE,

OR, YOU KNOW, JUST ABSOLUTELY NOT.

HOW ABOUT THAT-- HOW ABOUT JUST NO?

I'M JUST SAYING THE VERY APPEARANCE OF IT ALL

IS JUST-JUST TO STAY AWAY FROM THE VERY SIGHT OF IT.

SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ME BEIN' ON INS--

TWITTER AND INSTAGRAM?

WHY WOULD YOU GO BACK TO IT?

I FEEL LIKE I WANNA INTERACT WITH THE WORLD.

THEN, WE CAN HAVE A TRINA AND GABE PAGE.

- NOT REALLY. - WHAT?

IT'S GONNA BE DIFFICULT GOIN' BACK FROM BEIN' SEPARATED

TO BEING MARRIED AGAIN AND STUFF.

I MEAN, WE WERE ON THE CUSP OF DIVORCE.

- 'CAUSE FOR A YEAR-- - YEAH.

YOU WERE DOIN' WHAT YOU WANTED.

I DID WHAT I-- WHATEVER I WANTED AND--

WELL, WHAT WERE YOU DOIN' THAT YOU--

NOTHIN'-- I WAS JUST HANGIN' OUT.

NO, NOW YOU'RE CHANGIN'.

NOW, YOU GOT THE WEIRD SMIRK ON YOUR FACE.

YOU KNOW HOW YOU GET THE WEIRD SMIRK?

I DON'T HAVE A WEIRD SMIRK.

WE DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK AND REVISIT ALL THAT.

- G-G-- UM, GABE. - WHAT?

TO HARBOR ON THE PAST,NG

BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME FOR US TO GET PAST

ALL THOSE ISSUES.

I THINK WE NEED TO CONTINUE GOING TO COUNSELING.

I THINK WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO BUILD

ON OUR RELATIONSHIP. - I AGREE.

AS OPPOSED TO SAYING, OKAY, YOU'RE HOME--

LET'S GET BACK TO BUSINESS.

THE TIMING OF ALL THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME.

I'M VERY HAPPY THAT GABE IS MOVING BACK IN,

BUT I JUST AGREED TO MOVE TO L.A. WITH MY SISTERS,

AND THAT'S HAPPENING IN A FEW DAYS,

AND I'LL BE GONE FOR TWO MONTHS,

AND THERE'S DEFINITELY A PART OF ME

THAT WORRIES IF I CAN TRUST GABE ON HIS OWN

FOR THAT LONG A PERIOD OF TIME.

THERE'S GOTTA BE RULES ON BOTH WAYS.

IT'S NOT ALL GONNA BE ALL BRAXTON--

TRINA BRAXTON'S WAY.

YEAH, BUT--

IT'S TRINA BRAXTON HYPHEN SOLIS.

I KNOW YOU LIKE TO LEAVE OFF THAT HYPHEN AND SOLIS

ON EVERYTHING UNLESS IT INCLUDES A BILL.

IT'S VERY, VERY VEGAS.

I'M GLAD WE CHOSE THIS HOUSE, TRINA AND TRACI.

RIGHT-- I'M GLAD WE AGREED.

WE'RE MOVING INTO THE NEW FABULOUS HOUSE

THAT TOWANDA AND I FOUND.

HALLE-LOO-- YES!

I'M GONNA MISS GABE, BUT LOOK AT THIS GORGEOUS PLACE-- YES.

WE JUST NEED TO CHOSE WHOSE BED GOES TO WHO,

WHAT BEDROOM GOES TO WHO.

WELL, TRACI HAS THE MASTER.

LET'S LOOK AT TRACI'S ROOM.

- YEAH. - THANK YOU.

TRACI, HOW ABOUT YOU GET THE MASTER?

YOU'RE THE OLDEST.

AH-- THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF SACRIFICES

THAT I HAVE TO MAKE IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS MOVE TO CALIFORNIA.

EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW I FEEL ABOUT MY KIDS,

AND IT'S EXTREMELY HARD FOR ME TO BE AWAY FROM THEM

FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

AND LIVIN' IN A HOUSE WITH MY SISTERS, THAT'S A LOT.

THAT'S GONNA BE MY ROOM, THE TWIN ROOM.

I THINK THAT'S FOR WHEN THE CHILDREN COME TO VISIT.

I'M JUST HOPIN' THAT IT'LL ALL BE WORTH IT.

THIS IS TRACI'S ROOM, FOR SURE.

- DEFINITELY. - I LOVE TRACI'S ROOM.

GREAT VIEW-- LET'S GO LOOK AT THE THEATER ROOM

AND SEE HOW BIG THAT TELEVISION IS.

OH, WE CAN HAVE A COMMON TV ROOM.

WE NEED BLANKETS FOR EACH CHAIR AND STUFF.

YES, WE DO.

IS THAT NOT CUTE?

LOOK AT THE LITTLE CRYSTALLIZATION

ON THE TOP OF THE CEILING, LIKE A STARLIGHT AT NIGHTTIME.

YOU GUYS, WHEN GABE COMES,

YOU GUYS CAN'T COME IN THIS ROOM.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE SEX.

WELL, AT LEAST WE HAVE CUP HOLDERS.

- NOT IN THIS ROOM. - YES, WE ARE.

THIS ROOM IS A NO SEX ROOM.

- THERE ARE NO-- - YES, THAT IS A RULE!

THAT IS A RULE! - THERE ARE NO NO SEX ZONES!

- YES, IT IS. - NO!

- YES-YES! - NO!

NO, MA'AM, SIR.

NO ONES WANTS PUSS AND BOOTS ANYWHERE.

IN THIS ROOM.

NO...

WE HAVE TO SIT IN THOSE SEATS.

EW.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE SEX, AND I'M NOT GONNA TELL YA.

TRINA, I WILL NOT BE COMFORTABLE OF SITTING HERE,

KNOWING THAT YOU PUT YOUR JUICES AND BERRIES

ALL OVER THE PLACE. - IN THIS ROOM.

LOOK, IF I'M GONNA KEEP MY MAN,

I GOTTA KEEP MY MARRIAGE FRESH AND ON POINT.

SOMETIMES, THAT MAY REQUIRE AN UNEXPECTED VENUE,

LIKE SEX IN THE THEATER ROOM.

- IT-IT'S A DAYBED. - IS-IS THAT A BED?

IT'S REALLY NOT.

IT'S LIKE-- IT'S A LITTLE OUTSIDE COUCH, BUT--

IT LOOKS LIKE A DAYBED TO ME.

LET ME ASK YOU GUYS A QUESTION.

SO, WHAT ARE THE RULES, AS FAR AS ENTERTAINING GUESTS?

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WE CANNOT MAKE

THE SAME RULES THAT TAMAR MADE FOR HER HOUSE.

YEAH, THAT WAS IDIOTIC.

NO EATING IN THE BEDROOMS, ONLY IN THE KITCHEN,

AND WE'RE GONNA CLEAN UP AFTER OURSELVES.

THE MAID IS MINE-- OKAY.

NO SINGING IN THE HOUSE UNLESS I ASK YOU TO HARMONIZE.

THIS IS JUST FOR TRINA-- NO TALKING SPANISH.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

THAT'S INCONSIDERATE, TAMAR,

TO TELL YOUR GUESTS THAT.

WE HAVE TO HAVE ADULT RULES.

WE ALL RESPECT EACH OTHER AS SISTERS.

MMM-HMM.

AND I THINK THAT IF WE'RE HAVING GUESTS,

THEN WE WOULD LET EACH OTHER KNOW WHEN WE'RE HAVING GUESTS.

AHEAD OF TIME.

KINDA SORTA MAKES ME FEEL LIKE WE'RE LITTLE GIRLS

LIVING TOGETHER, AGAIN.

REASON WHY I SAY KINDA SORTA,

'CAUSE WE'RE GROWN-ASS WOMEN,

AND WE DIDN'T HAVE OUR VERY OWN ROOMS

WHEN WE WAS GROWIN' UP.

- IS IT A BIDET? - THERE ARE TWO TOI-LAYS.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TWO TOI-LAYS?

IT'S TWO TO-- IT'S TWO TOI-LAYS.

ARE YOU-- TRACI, DON'T LIKE YOU'RE--

TRACI'S GOING PEE! - IT'S TWO TOI-LAYS.

TOWANDA-- TOWANDA!

TOWANDA, TRACI'S GONNA GO PEE!

LET'S CLOSE THE DOOR.

CLOSE THE DOOR-- NASTY!

TOWANDA!

I CAN'T.

SOMEBODY GET ME SOME TOILET PAPER!

THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK, MAN.

I WANNA SHOW YOU WHAT, UH, WHAT TAY IS WEARIN'.

OKAY.

SO YOU GET A MORE IDEA OF WHAT YOU CAN DO.

- WHAT WHO CAN DO? - SHE IS.

I WAS GONNA SHOW 'EM WHAT YOU WEARIN'.

- IS THAT WHAT WE'RE DOIN'? - UH-HUH.

- HEAD OF THE TABLE. - TRIED IT.

MY NAME IS TAMAR BRAXTON,

AND I AM THE AROUND HERE

AND-AND YA'LL INTRODUCE YOURSELVES

TO EVERYBODY ELSE.

ON TOP OF STRESSIN' ABOUT ALL OF THE POTENTIAL DRAMA

OF ME AND MY SISTERS BECOMIN', YOU KNOW,

THE NEXT GIRL GROUP OF AMERICA,

I STILL HAVE MY OWN SOLO TOUR TO PLAN.

SHE'S HEADLININ' HER OWN SOLD OUT TOUR, SUGARPLUMS,

AND IT NEEDS TO BE BIG AND BETTER THAN BEFORE.

YES, GOD.

I THINK, FIRST OFF, WE HAVE GOT TO TALK ABOUT FEMALE DANCERS

BECAUSE I JUST DID A WHOLE TOUR WITH GUYS, RIGHT?

YEAH.

I THINK IT'S TIME TO SWITCH IT UP AND CHANGE IT UP.

I AGREE-- I AGREE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, TERRELL?

TERRELL DOESN'T WANT ME TO HAVE FEMALES

'CAUSE HE DOESN'T THINK I HAVE TIME TO PUT IN THE REHEARSAL

THAT I NEED FOR US ALL TO LOOK ALIKE.

- AS ONE, RIGHT. - I SEE A DUDE.

YOU SEE A DUDE?

I JUST SEE YOU AND A GUY-- THAT'S ALL I SEE.

- DOIN' WHAT? - I DON'T KNOW.

WHEN I LISTEN TO THE SONG, I HEAR-- I SEE YOU AND A DUDE.

EVERYBODY KNOW THAT I BEEN TALKIN' ABOUT DROPPIN' IT

LIKE IT'S HOT FROM DAY ONE-- ALL RIGHT?

SO, THEREFORE, YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT

IF YOU HAVE FEMALE DANCERS BEHIND YOU.

SO, YOU KNOW, LIKE A SONG LIKE "TIP TOE"

AND "HOT SUGARS,"

YOU KNOW, IT GOTTA BE SEXY AND A LITTLE BIT OF RATCHET,

SO THE AUDIENCE CAN UNDERSTAND

WHERE YOU COMIN' FROM, YOU KNOW,

AND YOU CAN'T DO THAT WITH GUY DANCERS.

I STILL FEEL LIKE, IF THAT CHOREOGRAPHY IS AMAZING

LIKE I'M ENVISIONING IN MY MIND--

- IT WILL BE-- YEAH. - THAT IS GIRLS.

I DON'T WANNA SEE NO DUDES TIPTOEIN'.

I JUST SEE ALL GUYS ON THIS ONE.

I JUST REALLY DO-- I'M SORRY.

I-I DON'T SEE ALL GUYS ON THIS WHOLE TOUR.

CAN YOU SHOW ME HOW THE GUYS ARE GONNA TIPTOE?

I NEED YOU TO STAND UP AND JUST DO ME A TIPTOE.

NO, I'M JUST SAYIN'-- NO-NO-NO, I DO--

- NO-- NO SHADE! - I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYIN'.

THIS IS NOT SHADE.

I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO GET UP AND SHOW ME THE TIPTOE.

I'M SERIOUS. - YEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYIN'.

JUST-JUST OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD-- NO, GET UP.

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

IF I HAVE FIVE HOURS REHEARSAL,

THEN I HAVE TO GO FIVE HOURS HARD,

DEAD ASS IN, IN REHEARSAL.

AIN'T NOBODY GONNA SAY, "YEAH, SHE WAS GOOD,

"BUT THEM DANCERS STOLE THE SHOW."

THAT'S A DEAL BREAKER.

I WANTED TO PUNCH HIM IN HIS FACE AND SMOTHER HIM

UNTIL HE COULDN'T BREATHE.

FINDING OUT THAT YOUR HUSBAND IS CHEATING ON YOU--

I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD REACT,

WHEN HE WOKE UP FROM BEIN' DEAD.

I TOLD HIM I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A DIVORCE.

WHY ARE WE HERE?

I JUST SEE ALL GUYS ON THIS ONE-- I JUST REALLY DO.

I'M SORRY AND-- - I DON'T-- I DON'T SEE ALL GUYS ON THIS WHOLE TOUR.

CAN YOU SHOW ME HOW THE GUYS ARE GONNA TIPTOE?

I NEED YOU TO STAND UP AND JUST DO ME A TIPTOE.

NO, I'M JUST SAYIN'-- NO-NO-NO, I DO--

- NO, NO SHADE. - I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYIN'.

THIS IS NOT SHADE.

I GONNA NEED YOU TO GET UP AND SHOW ME THE TIPTOE.

NO, I'M SERIOUS. - YEAH, I WAS JUST SAYIN'.

JUST-JUST OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD--

NO, I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO GET UP...

- OH, NO. - AND SHOW ME.

BUT STILL GUYS CAN STILL--

I DON'T WANNA TIPTOE LIKE THAT.

BUT, YOU WOULD DO SOMETHIN' DIFFERENT THOUGH.

SO, I'M THE ONLY ONE ON THE STAGE GRINDIN'.

NO-NO-NO-NO, YOU AIN'T GONNA BE GRINDING.

THEY'RE GONNA BE-- - I WOULD LIKE TO BE.

YEAH-- NO, THEY'RE GONNA BE WITH YOU,

BUT THEY'RE GONNA BE GRINDIN' LIKE DUDES,

YOU KNOW.

I DON'T WANNA SEE THAT.

- OH, OKAY-- WELL, I-- - I KNOW, AND YOUR NAME IS

ON THE MARQUIS, BUT DON'T-- - Y-- ARE YOU SURE?

I HATE WHEN PEOPLE ARGUE WITH ME

ABOUT WHAT I WANT ON MY SHOW.

I MEAN, MY SHOW, MY SONGS, MY COIN, MY WAY--

EAT IT.

I'M TELLING YOU-- WE GOTTA TAKE IT A STEP UP.

WE CANNOT BE AFRAID.

WELL, TAKE IT A STEP UP

WHEN YOU HAVE TIME TO STEP UP.

I SWEAR TO GOD-- I HAVE TO GET READY.

IF I HAVE FIVE HOURS REHEARSAL,

THEN I HAVE TO GO FIVE HOURS HARD,

DEAD ASS IN, IN REHEARSAL.

AIN'T NOBODY GONNA SAY, "YEAH, SHE WAS GOOD,

"BUT THEM DANCERS STOLE THE SHOW."

I CAN'T SEE THAT.

I MEAN, IT'S A LOT OF PRESSURE HEADLINING YOUR OWN TOUR

BECAUSE YOU WANT IT TO BE AMAZING, YOU KNOW.

AND IF IT'S AMAZING, YOU WANT IT TO BE AMAZING

'CAUSE YOU MADE IT AMAZING.

AND IF IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE JUST JACKED UP

IN THE GAME.

I WANT YOU TO HAVE THE BEST OF THE BEST,

SO THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO DO AN AUDITION.

I KNOW TIME IS TICKING, BUT AT THE SAME TIME,

I WANT YOU HAVE THE-- SOME-SOME DOPE GIRLS.

OKAY.

ANYBODY GOT ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY

'FORE WE ADJOURN?

IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE SNACKS, OR IS IT--

LOOK HOW SHORT I AM.

I GOT ON A LITTLE BIT OF A LITTLE BIT OF A KITTEN HEEL THOUGH.

BUT, LOOK HOW SHORT I AM.

IT'S LIKE-- - BUT, YOU HAVE ON FLATS.

YOGI AND BOO-BOO.

I HAVE AN ACUPUNCTURE SESSION TODAY,

AND I BROUGHT TONI ALONG BECAUSE I WANNA TALK ABOUT

OUR SISTER ISSUES AND OUR ALBUM,

AND ACUPUNCTURE IS SUPPOSED TO HELP US RELAX.

I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN CHINESE MEDICINE.

OKAY, SO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS.

YES.

I HATE NEEDLES, BUT ACUPUNCTURE NEEDLES

ARE REALLY, REALLY THIN, SO IT'S NOT AS THICK

AS, LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE NEEDLES THAT YOU WOULD GO

TO GET SOME BLOODWORK DONE.

SO, IT DOESN'T HURT AS BAD.

PLUS, I BELIEVE IT GOT ALCOHOL IN IT

'CAUSE IT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAD, LIKE,

TWO OR THREE MARTINIS, AND I'M HERE FOR THAT.

OOH, WEE!

THE WOMAN STARTS PUTTING NEEDLES INTO TAMAR'S FOOT,

AND I'M IMMEDIATELY NAUSEOUS,

AND I-I THINK I'M GONNA PASS OUT.

INHALE THROUGH THE NOSE.

I FEEL LIKE I TOOK A XANAX.

WON'T HE DO IT?

TAMAR DOESN'T SEE ALL THOSE NEEDLES,

BUT I HAVE TO LOOK AT THEM

AND TRY TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HER.

MEANWHILE, SHE'S ACTING LIKE SHE'S ON HAPPY PILLS.

WELL, TONI, THE POINT WAS TO TALK ABOUT

A STRESSFUL SITUATION WHILE YOU'RE DESTRESSIN',

SO YOU WON'T STRESS OUT-- AH-HA.

LIKE, DO YOU FEEL LIKE THE WHOLE DR. SHERRY THING

WAS SUCCESSFUL?

NO, 'CAUSE YOU LEFT.

NO, THAT'S NOT WHY IT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL.

BUT, IF YOU HAD STAYED, THE OTHER THING

WAS REALLY, REALLY EFFECTIVE.

FOR ME, THE EXERCISE WOULDN'T OF MADE NO DIFFERENCE TO ME,

YOU KNOW, THERE BECAUSE

ALL THE TALKIN' POINTS TO ME WAS OFF AND WRONG.

IT STARTED WITH TOWANDA, AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW,

IT STARTED TO SPREAD LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE WILDFIRE.

THEN, I HAD A ISSUE WITH EVERYBODY OUT OF THE BLUE.

IF YOU HAD STAYED, YOU WOULD'VE UNDERSTOOD.

JUST-- THEY DID-DID SOME EXERCISES.

YOU DIDN'T PARTICIPATE.

WHAT IT DID, WAS MAKE YOU LOOK AT YOURSELF

AND YOUR ROLE IN THINGS AND LOOK AT EACH OTHER.

I MEAN, REALLY, WE'RE ALL ACTIN' LIKE WE'RE ALL FINE

AND READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ALBUM,

BUT HONESTLY, EVERYTHING IS NOT RESOLVED YET.

I-I'M GONNA JUST GONNA-- I'M JUST GONNA BE 100

'CAUSE I REALLY WANNA DO THE RECORD.

BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT THE LEADIN' CAUSE

OF FEMALE GROUPS TO BREAK UP?

WHAT'S THE CAUSE?

- DRAMA, ISSUES... - THAT'S IN ANYTHING.

UNRESOLVEMENT.

SO, I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD NOT GO INTO IT WITH THAT.

SOMETIMES, I THINK YOU GOTTA LEAVE THINGS ALONE

AND THEN COME BACK TO IT.

THAT'S JUST MY THEORY.

BUT, IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO GET THOSE ISSUES

RESOLVED BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER WITH THE ALBUM--

THERE AIN'T NO WAY THE ALBUM CAN BE SUCCESSFUL

AND BE COMPLETED, AND WE GO OUT AND PROMOTE IT.

THERE'S JUST NO WAY.

LIKE, FIGHTIN' AND ARGUIN' IS THE LEADING CAUSE

OF DEATH IN FEMALE GROUPS.

CLEARLY, TAMAR'S STILL HAVING HER DOUBTS,

AND I'M WORRIED, BUT I'M NOT GONNA TELL THE OTHER GIRLS

BECAUSE THEY JUST MOVED ALL THE WAY OUT HERE,

AND IF EVERYONE'S NOT FULLY ONBOARD,

THIS COULD BE A TOTAL DISASTER.

OOH, IT'S SO PRETTY TODAY.

THIS IS A CUTE LITTLE SPOT.

ISN'T IT?

I ASKED THE GIRLS TO MEET ME FOR DRINKS

'CAUSE I WANT TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT SOMETHIN'.

TAMAR COULDN'T MAKE IT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,

SHE HAD REHEARSAL, HONEY, FOR HER TOUR.

YOU KNOW, I PICKED THIS PLACE AND EVERYTHING

BECAUSE I'VE BEEN HANGIN' OUT IN CALIFORNIA...

- YES, FOR "MARRIAGE BOOT CAMP." - THE "MARRIAGE BOOT CAMP."

SINCE MY HUSBAND KEVIN AND I ARE HAVING MARRIAGE ISSUES,

WE DECIDED TO DO A SHOW CALLED "MARRIAGE BOOT CAMP: REALITY STARS,"

AND, BOY, IT WAS INTENSE.

YOU DON'T WANNA LISTEN TO ME.

I'M TRYIN' TO DO--

YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO ALL THE TIME-- YOU DO.

I DON'T TRY TO TELL--

HAVE BOTH OF YA'LL HAD INFIDELITY?

YEAH, BUT I DIDN'T START IT UNTIL HE STARTED IT.

BUT, THAT'S NOT RIGHT, THOUGH.

I KNOW DIVORCE IS NOT A OPTION.

HE SAID THAT.

I'M REALLY THINKIN' HARD.

YOU DON'T WANNA WORK ON OUR MARRIAGE?

- -- . - PACKIN' UP.

OH, MY, GOODNESS!

I WAS SO MAD WITH KEVIN.

- WHY? - WHY?

BECAUSE HE WHISPERED TO ME, "YOU'RE DRINKIN' TOO MUCH."

- MOOD ALTERNATOR. - IT DID.

I TOLD HIM I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A DIVORCE.

WHY ARE WE HERE?

- YOU'RE NOT A DRUNK. - I CAN DRINK.

I'M NOT A DRUNK, BUT I LOVE TO DRINK.

I LOVE TO DRINK.

I THINK I WAS DRINKIN' ABOUT THE SAME THAT I NORMALLY DO.

THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A BREAKFAST VODKA.

YOU'RE DRINKIN' TOO MUCH.

I LIKE MY BREAKFAST BEER.

I SAID, WE DRANK TOO MUCH-- IT TRIGGERED THIS?

GET OUT-- GET OUT.

THANK YOU.

I WAS REALLY HURT WHEN HE SAID TO ME,

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE DRINKIN' TOO MUCH,

AND YOU'RE DOIN' THIS.

WELL, AU CONTRAIRE, MON FRERE.

YOU WAS DRINKIN' JUST LIKE I WAS.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU WANNA REPRIMAND ME.

I DON'T THINK SO-- I ONLY HAVE ONE DADDY,

AND HIS NAME IS MICHAEL CONRAD BRAXTON, SENIOR.

- HEY, PRETTY GIRL. - HEY, TONE-- NICE SHOES.

I'M ABOUT TO DIE FOR THOSE SHOES.

RIGHT-- I'M UPSET 'CAUSE I WORE FLIP FLOPS.

- MUAH. - HEY, TONI.

YOU HAVE TO SIT DOWN.

TRACE, TOLD US SOME JUICE.

- WANT ME TO SCOOT OVER? - NO, I'LL SIT HERE.

WAIT-WAIT A MINUTE-- WHAT HAPPENED?

TRACI IS TELLING US STUFF FROM "MARRIAGE BOOT CAMP."

- "MARRIAGE BOOT CAMP." - SO, WHAT HAPPENED?

KEVIN AND I TOOK THE LIE DETECTOR TEST.

YES.

THEY ASKED ME MY QUESTIONS, AND, YOU KNOW,

I PASSED MY THING, AND IT WAS HIS TURN.

NOW, THE LAST QUESTION THAT THEY ASKED,

"HAVE YOU BEEN CHEATING ON TRACI?"

THIS MAN SAYS...

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

I HAD A BAD DREAM THE FIRST NIGHT WE STAYED HERE.

THERE WAS A DEMON CHASING ME.

- WAIT A MINUTE! - UH-UH.

TAMAR, GET BACK OVER HERE!

WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?

IT'S NOT NIGHTTIME.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN'-- I DON'T PLAY THAT.

HAVE YOU CHEATED ON TRACI IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS?

KEVIN AND I TOOK THE LIE DETECTOR TEST.

YES.

THEY ASKED ME MY QUESTIONS, AND, YOU KNOW,

I PASSED MY THING, AND IT WAS HIS TURN.

NOW, THE LAST QUESTION THAT THEY ASKED,

"HAVE YOU BEEN CHEATING ON TRACI?"

THIS MAN SAYS, "YES."

OH, MY GOD!

YOUR HUSBAND ADMITTED TO CHEATING

ON NATIONAL TELEVISION.

WOW!

FINDING OUT THAT YOUR HUSBAND EMPHATICALLY

IS CHEATING ON YOU-- I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD REACT.

YOU KNOW - YOU KNOW...

WHEN HE WOKE UP FROM BEIN' DEAD.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND'S INFIDELITY,

THAT HE ADMITTED TO IT?

I MEAN-- - I FELT BETRAYED.

I FELT BETRAYED, AND I WANTED TO PUNCH HIM

IN HIS FACE AND SMOTHER HIM

'TIL HE COULDN'T BREATHE.

BUT, IT'S NOT A DEAL BREAKER?

JUST GOTTA ASK.

NO, IT-- NO, IT'S NOT A DEAL BREAKER.

IT-- THAT'S NOT A DEAL BREAKER.

NOW, IF SOMEBODY-- IF HE PUT HIS HANDS ON ME,

THAT'S A DEAL BREAKER.

OKAY, GOTTA ASK-- JUST DON'T KNOW.

I-I GET IT-- I UNDERSTAND.

I JUST HAD TO ASK.

WOW!

OBVIOUSLY, TRINA AND TRACI HAVE OPEN MARRIAGES.

I-I-I-- YES, I THINK THEY HAVE OPEN MARRIAGES.

MY MOM HAD THE STRENGTH TO LEAVE MY DAD

WHEN INFIDELITY HAPPENED-- SHE LEFT.

IT WAS OBVIOUSLY A DEAL BREAKER FOR MY MOM.

I THINK I'M MORE LIKE MY MOM.

MY SISTERS ARE MORE LIKE MY DAD.

DOES IT MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO BE INTIMATE WITH HIM,

IF YOU KNOW THAT?

- IT-IT-- HE-- - OR, DO YOU FEEL A NEED OF LIKE...

- IT DID, AT FIRST. - OKAY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I LOVE HIM.

MMM-HMM.

SOME PEOPLE MIGHT THINK THAT TRACI

SHOULD NOT HAVE FORGIVEN HIM.

SOME PEOPLE THINKS THAT SHE SHOULD'VE FORGIVEN HIM.

BUT, TRACI HAS TO DO WHAT WORKS BEST FOR HER,

IN HER MARRIAGE.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS NEWS COMES TO A LOT OF WOMEN,

AND YOU CAN STAY, OR YOU CAN GO,

BUT IT'S A LOT HARDER TO STAY.

I KNOW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

WE SAID WE WAS GOING TO BE COMMITTED TO EACH OTHER,

AND YOU PROMISED, AND YOU DIDN'T.

"MARRIAGE BOOT CAMP" HELPED US A LOT,

BUT THE LIE DETECTOR TEST WAS DEVASTATING FOR ME, HONEY.

SO, WE ARE PLANNING TO DO ANOTHER FOLLOW UP

COUNSELING SESSION.

REMEMBER IN THE BIBLE HOW MEN CAN HAVE WIVES,

AND CONCUBINES, AND ALL THAT KINDA GOOD STUFF?

I WANNA A COUPLE OF HUSBANDS AND SOME MALE CONCUBINES.

♪ YO YO YO YO YO YO YO YO ♪

TAMAR AND I ARE COMING OVER TO SEE THE HOUSE

THAT TOWANDA, TRINA, AND TRACI RENTED

WHILE THEY'RE TEMPORARILY LIVING IN L.A.

TO WORK ON THIS ALBUM.

DING-DING.

IT FEELS SO GOOD TO HAVE ALL THE GIRLS HERE.

AND HOPEFULLY, US BEING CLOSE LIKE THIS,

LIVING TOGETHER IN THE SAME CITY,

WE CAN GET PAST ALL THAT OTHER STUFF.

- HEY, TONI. - HI.

- HEY. - HEY, TRAY.

I KNOW WE'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

IT SMELL LIKE CHICKEN.

- YES. - YES, WE DID.

- I WANT A TOUR. - LET'S START ON THIS END.

- THIS SIDE? - YEAH. - YES.

LOOK AT THE CEILING.

I LOVE THESE BARN DOORS.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE.

DID YA'LL SAVE AT LEAST ONE PIECE OF CHICKEN, THOUGH?

IT SMELLS LIKE CHICKEN.

YOU GUYS DID A GOOD JOB.

TRINA SHOW YOU THE WINE ROOM.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE ROOM.

I ALREADY HAD TO PUT A FEW BOTTLES IN, OF COURSE.

NO SHADE-- THE HOUSE IS REALLY, REALLY NICE.

HOWEVER, THAT HOUSE IS F-F-FAR, OKAY?

FAR AWAY.

- I LOVE IT. - THIS IS THE SEATING AREA,

AND THIS IS THE KITCHEN.

IT SMELLS LIKE CHICKEN, THOUGH.

YA'LL HAVE THE BARE NECESSITIES--

PANCAKE MIX, SYRUP.

- WE JUST MOVED. - WE JUST MOVED IN.

WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-- BUT, LET-LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN'.

I HAD A BAD DREAM THE FIRST NIGHT WE STAYED HERE.

THERE WAS A DEMON CHASIN' ME.

I COULDN'T MOVE MY MOUTH.

I COULDN'T CALL THE NAME OF JESUS OR NOTHIN'.

I FINALLY SAID, "NO!"

AND THEN--

WAIT A MINUTE-- LISTEN, AND IT WOKE HER UP.

YEAH--

ALL I HAD TO DO, WAS PRAY AND CALL ON THE BLOOD OF JESUS.

I WAS ALL RIGHT.

TRACI HAD A BAD DREAM.

SHE FELT LIKE SOMEBODY WAS WATCHIN' HER ALL NIGHT.

HERE?

I DIDN'T HAVE A DREAM, BUT I FELT AS THOUGH PEOPLE--

SOMEBODY WAS WATCHING ME.

TWO BAD DREAMS?

TONI, I'LL SEE YA LATER, GIRL.

WE GOTTA GET SOME SAGE.

- BUT, WAIT A MINUTE! - NUH-UH.

TAMAR, GET BACK OVER HERE!

WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?

IT'S NOT NIGHTTIME.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN'-- I DON'T PLAY THAT.

IT'S DEFINITELY HAUNTED.

I DON'T CARE WHAT NOBODY SAY, OKAY?

DON'T NOBODY FEEL LIKE SOMEBODY'S WATCHING THEM

UNLESS THEY ARE.

SHE DON'T DO THAT.

LET'S GO SEE THE POOL.

PUT THE PURSE DOWN, TAMAR.

WE'RE GONNA GO LOOK AT THE POOL.

PUT THE PURSE DOWN-- PUT IT RIGHT HERE.

COME ON.

PUT YOUR PURSE RIGHT BESIDE MINE.

LISTEN-- LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN'.

GOD IS GOOD TO ME.

I DON'T WANT NO BAD SPIRITS IN MY PURSE, GIRL, MY PURSE.

OH, MY GOD!

IT AIN'T GONNA JUMP IN OUR PURSE.

IT HAS TO JUMP INTO A HUMAN BEING.

- COME ON, GIRL. - THAT'S MESSIN' WITH MY COIN.

TAMAR IS, OF COURSE, OVERREACTING.

WHAT-WHAT-WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU?

NOTHING-- WHAT-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WE DON'T-- UH-UH.

I MEAN, YOU JUST HAVE TO PRAY.

I MEAN, YOU PRAY, EVERYTHING'LL BE ALL RIGHT--

JUST PRAY.

♪ I AIN'T SCARED OF NO DEMON ♪

♪ NO NO ♪

♪ I AIN'T SCARED OF THAT NO ♪

♪ THEN YOU BETTER PRAY ♪

♪ I GOT THE BLOOD OF JESUS ♪

WE'VE BEEN SINGING TOGETHER ALL OF OUR LIVES

IT FEELS LIKE THERE'S NO REASON

WE SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO A FAMILY ALBUM.

♪ GOTTA PRAY GOTTA PRAY AND PROTECT THINE COIN ♪

IF WE ONLY COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO NOT

ALWAYS BE AT EACH OTHER'S THROAT.

♪ I GOT THE DOLLAR BILLS AND I GOT THE WORLD ♪

♪ I GOT EVERYTHING THE HOLY SPIRIT ♪

♪ AND I'M NOT SCARED OF NO DEMON NO ♪

♪ LEAVE THAT COIN LEAVE THAT COIN ♪

WAIT A MINUTE, NOW-- OOO!

COME ON, YA'LL-- SIT DOWN.

I HAVE SOME WONDERFUL THINGS PLANNED FOR SISTER TIME.

WHEN I WAS IN ATLANTA, I GOT A HIP BATH DONE.

I'M TALK-- I'M TALKIN' ABOUT SOMETHIN' ELSE.

A HIT-- THEY HIT YOU WHEN YOU'RE IN THE BATH?

- HIP. - LIKE H-I-P.

HIP.

WHEN I GOT TO A SPA, I GET THE HIP BATH

OR SOME PEOPLE MAY CALL IT THE V-STEAM.

IT CLEANS YOUR .

YOU SIT ON THIS THING, AND IT'S LIKE HERBS,

AND FRUITS, AND BERRIES, AND-- - LIKE A CHAIR SIT ON IT?

YEAH.

ARE WE TALKIN' ABOUT, LIKE, VAGINA SPAS?

THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

OH, NO, BABY.

SHE PUT SOME STUFF IN THERE, AND THE LADY SAID,

"I PUT MAGIC IN THERE.

"IT MAKE YOU TIGHTER."

- NO... WHY WOULD I WANT THAT? - YES-- WHAT?

- NOT LIKE A - NOT LIKE-- - HOW DID YOU FEEL AFTER?

AWESOME!

NO QUESTION.

OKAY, BUT WE'RE GOIN'.

WE'LL GO-- WE'RE GOING.

- I'M GONNA GO. - I'M GOIN'.

I'LL WATCH.

- TAMAR IS GOIN'. - TAMAR'S GOING.

I'M DEFINITELY TRYING TO BE A-A TEAM PLAYER,

EVEN IF THAT MEANS HAVING,

YOU KNOW, SOME TYPE OF VAGINA FACIAL

THAT I DEFINITELY DON'T BELIEVE IN AND DON'T NEED.

OKAY?

ALL RIGHT-- IF YA'LL ARE WITH IT,

I MEAN, I'LL DO THIS--

I'LL DO IT 'CAUSE Y'ALL ARE DOIN' IT.

OUR "MARRIAGE BOOT CAMP" COUNSELORS,

JIM AND ELIZABETH,

HAPPEN TO BE IN L.A., SO KEVIN FLEW OUT HERE,

SO WE HAVE ANOTHER SESSION WITH THEM.

WE REALLY NEED TO WORK ON OUR ISSUES, RIGHT NOW.

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR MUSIC, REAL QUICK.

ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING WITH YOUR SISTERS ON SINGIN'?

ARE YA'LL TRYING TO DO ANYTHING TOGETHER?

WELL, WE'RE TRYING TO DO AN ALBUM.

WE'RE LIVIN' IN THIS HOUSE...

...TOGETHER, AND I REALLY DIDN'T DISCUSS IT WITH MY HUSBAND.

- OH, MY. - SO, OKAY--

SO, KEVIN, WHAT'S-WHAT'S GOIN' ON FOR YOU, RIGHT NOW?

ANOTHER DECISION MADE WITHOUT MY INPUT.

I'M FEELIN' LIKE THE SISTERS HAVE MORE INFLUENCE

THAN I DO IN REFERENCE TO OUR HOUSE, OUR MARRIAGE,

OUR LIFE.

I WANNA BE THE SUPPORTIVE HUSBAND,

BUT I JUST WANT THAT COMMUNICATION.

I DON'T WANNA FIND OUT ON THE FLY.

I WANNA FIND OUT BEFOREHAND.

THINK ABOUT IT FOR JUST A MINUTE, OKAY?

YOU MAKE A DECISION.

YOU DON'T TELL HIM ABOUT IT.

HE FEELS LEFT OUT, NOT IMPORTANT.

CREATES A VOID THAT NEEDS TO BE FILLED,

AND HE STRAYED LAST TIME.

I GUESS I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT HOW IT MAKES KEVIN FEEL

WHEN I LEAVE HIM OUT OF MY DECISIONS.

IT DOESN'T EXCUSE HIS CHEATING,

BUT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MARRIAGE, TOO.

ALL RIGHT-- SO, THERE'S JUST ONE PIECE

THAT WE NEED TO JUST SORT OF GET SOME CLARITY ON.

DURING THE LIE DETECTOR TEST,

WE ASKED YOU ABOUT INFIDELITY IN THE RECENT PAST.

HAVE YOU BEEN FAITHFUL TO TRACI IN RECENT MONTHS?

NO.

I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU PROCESSED THE FACT

THAT WE WERE QUALIFYING IT WITH RECENT MONTHS.

I HEARD, "HAVE YOU CHEATED?"

IT TOOK EVERY LAST BIT OF ME NOT TO PUT MY HANDS--

NOT TO PUT THE PAWS ON YOU.

I SAW YOUR FACE.

SO, LET'S ASK--

HAVE YOU CHEATED ON TRACI IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS?

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

WHERE ARE WE IN THE PROCESS OF THE GOSPEL ALBUM?

WHERE ARE WE?

WHILE OUR VAGINAS ARE EXPOSED?

JUST FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, WRONG.

I'M GETTIN' UP OUTTA HERE 'CAUSE I DON'T WANNA DO THAT.

IT'S A PORNO SHOWER.

- YEP. - YES. - YEAH.

I HAVE ONE, TOO-- HALLE-LOO.

YOU GOTTA DO THE-- YOU GOTTA PLAY PORNO MUSIC

WHEN YOU TAKE A SHOWER.

BOW-CHICKY-CHICKY-BOW- CHICKY-BOW-BOW-CHICKY-BOW!

BOM-BOM-BOM-BOM- BOM-BOM-BOM!

WAIT-- THEY DON'T DO THAT MUCH--

- ARE YOU KIDDING? - I DON'T KNOW.

YOU KNOW, HARLEQUIN ROMANCE,

THAT AIN'T FUN NO MORE, OKAY?

YOU GOTTA TWERK ON THAT THING.

YOU KNOW, YOU GOTTA BACK THAT UP AND, YOU KNOW,

SHAKE IT AND STUFF.

SHE AIN'T DOIN' NONE OF THAT.

I NEED HER TO GET HER LIFE.

LOOKIN' FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES.

HAVE YOU CHEATED ON TRACI IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS?

NO, I HAVEN'T.

- DO YOU BELIEVE HIM? - I BELIEVE YOU.

I HAVE TO HAVE TRUST, AND I HAVE TO FORGIVE.

I BELIEVE YOU.

DO YOU TRUST ME?

AND I- AND I--

THE-THE BETRAYAL MAKES THE TRUST LESS AND, UM...

I APOLOGIZE THAT I DID THIS.

I KNOW I-- I KNOW I BROUGHT THIS INTO OUR MARRIAGE.

I MEAN, YOU SACRIFICED F ME.

YOU SACRIFICED YOUR LIFE FOR ME.

YOU-YOU TURNED YOUR BACK ON YOUR FAMILY FOR ME.

I KNOW I GET ANGRY AND SAY THINGS BECAUSE I'M HURT.

I DON'T REALLY MEAN THOSE THINGS.

I DON'T... AND I-I FORGIVE YOU.

DID YOU GET--

I'M TRYING NOT TO GET MAKEUP ON MY SHIRT.

KEVIN AND I MADE SO MH PROGRESS TODAY,

BUT I'M WORRIED.

BY ME MOVIN' TO L.A. TO DO THIS ALBUM

WITH MY SISTERS, I FEEL LIKE I'M ABANDONING MY MARRIAGE

AT THE WRONG TIME-- I HOPE IT'S WORTH IT.

WE'LL DO ANOTHER FOLLOW UP IN, YOU KNOW, SIX MONTHS

OR SOMETHIN'-- SEE WHERE YOU'RE AT, OKAY?

- YEAH-YEAH. - OKAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

- HI-- WELCOME. - HOW ARE YOU?

WE'RE HERE TO GET THE, UM...

- WHAT? - WHAT'S THAT FIRST THOUGH?

- THE V-STEAM. - THE V-STEAM, YES.

THIS IS A COLD PRESS OIL DIFFUSER.

WHAT'S THAT DO?

IS THAT LIKE THE-- IS THAT WHAT WE'RE GONNA GET?

SO, IT'S LIKE THIS, AND WE'RE SITTING ON IT,

AND THE STEAM COMES THROUGH. - YES, THAT'S EXACTLY IT.

I HONESTLY CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I TALKED MY SISTERS

INTO DOING THIS, BUT I'M REALLY HAPPY

THAT WE'RE DOING SOMETHIN' FUN, FINALLY,

TOGETHER AS SISTERS.

I HAD HEARD THAT IT HELPS YOU HAVE A O.

IS THAT THE TRUTH?

IT DOES HELP A LOT WITH YOUR SEX LIFE.

- HMM. - OH, OKAY.

OKAY, WHERE DO WE CHANGE-- WE'RE EAGER.

YOU EXCITED, TONI?

THAT'S ALL.

THIS WAY, LADIES.

OKAY, FOR THE RECORD, SHE'S ONLY HERE

'CAUSE SHE'S A TEAM PLAYER,

BECAUSE AT THIS POINT,

HER PURSE IS LIKE AN OVEN, VERY SELF-CLEANING.

FOLLOW ME THIS WAY.

WHEN THE GIRLS AND I COME OUT OF THE DRESSING ROOM

IN THE SPA, WE'RE IN THESE LONG DRESSES

THAT REMINDS US OF THE GOSPEL ROBES

WE USED TO WEAR IN CHURCH.

SO, WE START SINGING GOSPEL SONGS AND ACTING LIKE

WE'RE GOING DOWN THE CHOIR LINE.

IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY FUN.

BUT, IT REALLY DOES MAKE ME EXCITED

ABOUT WORKIN' ON THE GOSPEL ALBUM.

HOLD UP-- THERE'S TOO MUCH EUCALYPTUS IN HERE.

ACTUALLY HAVING FUN FOR THE FIRST TIME

IN A LONG WHILE.

- MY BUTT'S OUT. - MY BUTT'S OUT, TOO.

I FEEL REAL UNCOMFORTABLE. - IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.

IT'S REAL WRONG, THOUGH.

I FEEL LIKE I'M FITTIN' TO TAKE A POO.

THIS IS REAL INVASIVE AND INTRUSIVE.

TONI, SIT DOWN YOUR LITTLE BOOTY.

I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE THE STEAM.

IT'S NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.

IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS-- I WAS ON THE TOILET.

I MEAN, I'M WILLING TO TRY IT,

BUT, YOU KNOW, IT HAS ME JUST A LITTLE...

JUST A LITTLE LEARY ABOUT WHAT IT'S ACTUALLY

DOING DOWN THERE.

NOTHIN' WRONG WITH MY YANG.

TOWANDA, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.

IT IS NOT.

I DON'T WANNA FEEL EUCALYPTUS.

THE MINUTE I FEEL EUCALYPTUS OR LICORICE,

I'M GETTIN' UP OUTTA HERE 'CAUSE I'M NOT HAVIN' FIRE SHOW UP IN MY BONES,

ONLY THE HOLY GHOST, NOT THE COOTCHIE GHOST.

THIS IS THE STEAM,

AND THIS IS THE INFRARED LIGHT DOWN HERE.

OKAY.

BUT, I FEEL IT MORE IN MY--

- BOOTY. - IN HOLE TWO.

BUT, THAT HELPS FOR YOU TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.

MMM-HMM.

AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL IN MY NUM--

YOU FEEL IT IN ALL YOUR HOLES.

YES.

JUST FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, WRONG.

IT'S LIKE YOU'RE SITTIN' ON A TOILET

IN FRONT OF YOUR SISTERS, HAVIN' A CONVERSATION.

LIKE, THAT'S FREAKY.

THAT'S NASTY, M'KAY?

I DON'T WANNA DO THAT.

YOU CAN BE ON THE PHONE BY YOURSELF ON THE TOILET

AND NOBODY KNOW, BUT YOU CAN'T BE AROUND EVERYBODY

HAVIN' A CONVERSATION.

I JUST GAVE MYSELF AWAY, I THINK,

BUT I'M JUST SAYIN' EVERYBODY DO IT.

WHERE ARE WE IN THE PROCESS OF THE GOSPEL ALBUM?

WHERE ARE WE?

WHILE OUR VAGINAS ARE EXPOSED?

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

WE DO IT INDEPENDENT-- WE DO IT OUR WAY.

WE GOT NOBODY TELLIN' US WHAT THEY THINK.

I DISAGREE.

WE NEED THE SUPPORT OF A BIGGER COMPANY.

IF THE LABEL DOES NOT BELIEVE

IN WHAT YOU'RE PUTTING OUT,

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SUPPORT IT.

I CAN'T DO ANYTHING INDEPENDENT.

WE KINDA KNOW THAT-- WE KNOW THAT.

- I THINK IT'LL BE EASIER. - IT'S NOT.

WHERE ARE WE IN THE PROCESS OF THE GOSPEL ALBUM?

WHERE ARE WE?

WHILE OUR VAGINAS ARE EXPOSED?

- YEAH. - THAT'S THE CONVERSATION?

- YEAH. - OKAY-OKAY.

HOWEVER THE LORD LEADS.

WELL?

IT DOES SEEM A BIT STAGNANT.

IT'S LIKE WE'RE-- TALKING ABOUT MAKING MOVES,

COMING HERE AND STAYING HERE TO WORK ON THE ALBUM

AND NO ONE KNOWS WHERE WE ARE.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHERE WE ARE WITH THE RECORD.

IF ANYBODY ASKS, WHAT WE NEED A RECORD LABEL FOR?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN-- WHAT DO WE NEED-

WE'RE GONNA PUT IT OUT OURSELVES INDEPENDENT?

I WOULD DO IT INDEPENDENT.

I DISAGREE.

FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S FIVE OF US.

IT'S A DIFFERENT AND BETTER RETURN, RIGHT?

SO, WE DO IT INDEPENDENT.

WE DO IT OUR WAY.

WE AIN'T GOT NOBODY TELLIN' US WHAT THEY THINK.

WE WOULD NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM.

WE NEED THE SUPPORT OF-OF-OF BIGGER COMPANY.

PRODUCING AN ALBUM INDEPENDENTLY

IS THE SPIDEST IDEA I'VE EVER HEARD,

AT THIS STAGE, WITH FIVE GIRLS.

IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE.

THAT WOULD BE $400,000 TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

PLUS, TO MOVE THIS GROUP IS EXPENSIVE.

IT'S $80,000 BETWEEN FLIGHTS, HOTEL, ACCOMMODATIONS.

THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE A RECORD COMPANY.

THEY MAKE THE INITIAL INVESTMENT,

AND IT WORKS BETTER FOR EVERYONE.

- I THINK IT'LL BE EASIER. - IT'S NOT.

IF THE LABEL DOES NOT BELIEVE

IN WHAT YOU'RE PUTTING OUT,

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SUPPORT IT, M'KAY?

I'VE HAD FIVE RECORD DEALS.

KINDA KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO THIS.

IF WE PUT OUT AN ALBUM INDEPENDENTLY,

WE MAKE ALL THE MONEY,

AND WE HAVE CREATIVE CONTROL,

BUT WE'D ALSO HAVE TO PAY THE EXPENSES UP FRONT,

AND I WENT THE INDEPENDENT ROUTE WITH MY SINGLES,

AND IT SET ME BACK QUITE A BIT.

SO, I WOULD DEFINITELY RATHER BE BACKED

BY A MAJOR LABEL.

EVERYBODY HAS TO COME OUT OF THEIR POCKETS

TO MAKE IT, THEN.

WHAT YOU MEAN?

EVERYBODY HAS TO CONTRIBUTE MONEY TO DO THE ALBUM.

YEAH, BUT THE RETURN, LIKE, IT'S LIKE AN INVESTMENT,

A GOOD INVESTMENT.

WHEN PEOPLE SAY INDEPENDENT, THEY FEEL LIKE YOU'RE DOING

THE WORK ALL YOURSELF-- THAT'S NOT HOW THAT GOES.

I KNOW THAT.

NO, I-- I KNOW THAT, BUT I'M JUST SAYIN'.

YOU HIRE-- YOU HIRE REALLY GOOD PEOPLE

THAT CAN REALLY MAKE THINGS HAPPEN,

MAKE A PHENOMENAL RECORD, AND THEY WORK IT

AND THE RETURN IS COIN-WORTHY, YOU KNOW.

I THINK IT HAS IT'S PROS AND CONS.

I-- I WOULD-- I WOULD DO IT INDEPENDENT.

THERE ARE NO CONS.

YOU KNOW, YOU STILL GOTTA GET UP AND DO THE WORK.

YOU STILL HAVE TO PROMOTE IT.

THERE-- WHAT ARE THE CONS?

THERE IS NO CONS.

IT'S COINS-- IT'S PROS AND COINS

PUTTIN' OUT AN INDEPENDENT RECORD.

BUT THE THING IS, WHAT ABOUT GETTING

THESE WONDERFUL PRODUCERS?

BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA BE EXPENSIVE.

IT'S A DIFFERENT-- IT'S A DIFFERENT COIN NOWADAYS.

AND IT'S A DIFFERENT COIN WHEN YOU'RE INDEPENDENT.

I CAN'T DO ANYTHING INDEPENDENT.

I'M SIGNED TO MOTOWN, EXCLUSIVELY.

IT'S NOT AN OPTION.

WHY ARE WE EVEN DEBATING IF WE CAN DO THIS ALBUM INDEPENDENTLY OR NOT?

IF TONI CAN ONLY WORK WITH HER LABEL MOTOWN,

THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO GET A DEAL WITH MOTOWN.

WE CAN DEFINITELY DO SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF JUST TONI BRAXTON, INDEPENDENT.

BECAUSE I CAN. - I CAN'T-- WELL THAT'S YOUR CONTRACT.

- WELL HOW IS THAT-- HOW'S-- - I CAN'T DO THAT.

I AM EXCLUSIVELY SIGNED TO MOTOWN.

EXCLUSIVELY.

I AM TOTALLY COMMITTED TO DOING THIS FAMILY ALBUM,

AND EVEN THOUGH MY CONTRACT WITH MY LABEL SAYS

I NEED TO BE EXCLUSIVE WITH THEM,

IT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T FIGURE THIS THING OUT.

UM, SO... ALL RIGHT, Y'ALL.

I THINK I'M-- I'M DONE.

YOU AIN'T EN ON THAT LONG ENOUGH.

YES, I HAVE.

MY ASS IS HOT, AND I DON'T MEAN IN A GOOD WAY.

I'M LEAVIN' THE V-STEAM

BECAUSE AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT.

I MEAN, I SURE THE HELL HOPE EVERYBODY DIDN'T COME OUT HERE FOR NOTHIN'.

I JUST CAN'T WAIT 'TIL YOU GET THAT LITTLE ORGASM

AFTER YOU GOT ALL THIS. - IT'S NOT TIME, TAMAR.

IT IS-- I DON'T WANT A FRIED ASS.

WHY DOES SHE KEEP LEAVIN' SO EARLY?

SHE ALWAYS LEAVES.

I ALREADY KNOW THAT ONCE WE GET IN THE STUDIO...

THIS IS HOW TAMAR'S GOING TO BE-- MMM-HMM--

BOSSY, CONTROLLIN'...

E, ALL OF THE ABOVE-- THAT'S WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
