Who is this guy, where did he come from, who is he?

- He was my friend. - But he's black.

I have black friends.

When?

- Kevin's engaged. - What?

I've been in shock

since my son Kevin dropped the engagement bomb.

There are some stories when they marry at 18

and the-- doesn't work out.

I was thinking that I wanted to talk...

ya know, to everybody.

You know, one-on-one where it's not

a collective group... thing.

I just wanna get to the bottom

of, you know, whatever

issue that everybody had.

♪ We are the Braxtons and you'll see ♪

♪ 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." ♪

You're gonna love this place.

What you love about it?

It is great.

I've been nominated for my 7th Grammy.

Babyface and I are nominated for "Best R&B Album."

And I'm so excited, and a little nervous.

It's only a few days away, so I'm going to juice cleanse

so I can slim down a little bit.

- Good to see you again. - Good seeing you.

- I-- I need to juice for three days. - Okay.

- Okay. - Which one of the greens should she try?

- She's a lightweight. - I don't want no greens.

- It tastes like dirt to me. - Try--

- Try this one, this is our newest one. - Try it.

- Orange tw-- - I don't know that one.

Try the greens.

No, I did-- I've tried it. I don't like it.

Then why did you come with me if you're not gonna try it?

- Boo. Boo. - No. I've tried--

what I'm telling you is I tried that one.

- And it's-- that's really green-y. - You just taste--

Okay, I will taste it. I shouldn't have brought you with me.

Why? I'm the best.

Now, I've been living in LA a long time, but...

I still ain't interested in drinking no damn grass, Toni.

That's nasty.

Towanda's gonna love this one, I promise.

This is gonna be her favorite one.

This is the Brazilian Nut.

You putting everybody on cleanses, Toni?

Towanda's hosting...

a show like "American Idol" for writers or something.

Well, how you get the 411?

Because I be asking, "Where you going?"

"Well, I just got this thing to do."

You know, she's real... bland about it.

You know what, you should help her.

What you mean?

You know how you do the thing for the reel?

- Do the thing? - You know what I mean.

- Talk to people. I mean, she's good at it, naturally, - Hells, yeah.

but everyone could use a little help. You should help her.

I know you don't have time right now, but...

It's not that. I think-- I think-- I think so.

I do wanna reconnect with my sisters.

But, you know...

I-- I can't say what's the best way to be close with everybody.

I mean... I don't know how Towanda feels

about me giving her unsolicited advice.

But I'm definitely ready to give her some advice

if she wants to take it now.

Can I get the one green juice with the ginger in it, just one?

Yeah, of course.

That's so good.

Traci, Trina, and Towanda are coming to LA

for a couple of days for the Grammys.

And I'm so excited they are coming to support me, but...

we really need to mend our sisterhood.

Tamar told me she wants to meet with them one-on-one,

and I think that's actually a great idea.

I hope it actually happens.

Aren't you excited about the Grammys? It's in, like, four days.

I'm so excited, but I have no dress.

- What you mean you don't have no dress? - My dresses haven't come.

Because of the snowstorm in New York, I have no dress.

- Ain't nobody got time for that. - I have no dress yet.

- You don't have no backup at all? - There's no dress.

Marc was sending me three dresses. Marc Bouwer dresses,

I mean, there is no other designer for me.

I have three dress options coming from Marc Bouwer.

And he's an incredible designer.

He's done Beyoncé, Angelina Jolie--

I mean, everyone, and every time I've worn his dresses in the past,

I've won an award.

So, he's kind of like my good luck charm.

I have to figure out what I'm gonna do.

But at least I'll be five pounds thinner.

- But you already look amazing. You tripping. - No, I need to look...

youthful, young, thin.

Oh, girl, please.

You need a couple more of them nut drinks.

You be youthful enough.

- Girl, I gotta get it together. - Come on, let's go.

Let them young girls know I still got it.

- You ready for today? - I'm ready.

- You ready? You ready? - Yeah. I'm ready.

- I'm ready. - Me, too.

I am the host

for a brand-new TV pilot.

That's a songwriting competition show.

And today we are shooting my host introduction.

And I've never hosted a show before.

But I know I'm a natural.

Okay, here we go.

Host intro, take one.

Ready.

Hi, everybody, I'm Towanda Braxton.

Yes, one of the famous Braxton sisters.

And I am a do-wop, pop-pop chick, for all of my sisters.

I have no shame.

I am so excited to be part of "My Lyrics,"

the number one writing song--

ah, do it again.

Damn.

I'm really excited to be part of "My Lyrics."

"My Lyrics."

- It's good. Yeah. Cut. - Good job. Yeah.

Okay.

Towanda is super excited about shooting her pilot,

so I'm stopping by to show my support

since she's been so supportive to me through my divorce.

Come in.

Trinnie Weenie.

- What's uppers? Kisses. - Hey.

-Mwah. - Love you.

Love you.

How's it going? Am I late?

Are you late? Yes.

So explain to me what's going on, though.

You know, today,

they're just having the auditions

and then they're gonna choose 10 people.

And they have to perform tomorrow on the stage.

Tomorrow? What time?

7:00.

You not gonna be able to come?

I'm going on a date

tomorrow.

With who?

I'm not telling you.

Even though Towanda is the keeper of secrets,

I am just not ready to put this out there yet.

And as soon as I talk about it, it's gonna be a real thing.

And I just want to keep it casual for now.

I'm excited that you're going out on a date with him.

I just want you to take your time.

- Well, we're just going to dinner. - Because your heart

is just a little fragile right now.

My heart is slightly fragile.

It's fragile, that's it, so just, you know.

But have fun.

Although it's a little fast.

I don't want her to get hurt again.

I'm just glad that she's...

dating anybody other than Gabe.

He's a really nice guy, though.

But don't tell the girls.

Towanda, look at me.

Because you know you would tell the girls.

Trina's going on a date.

I'm not gonna tell your nosy sisters.

- Please don't... - I'm not.

- Do you know where you're going? - Don't know where we're going.

He's like, he's gonna, like, take me out on a real date.

Okay, how about I go, right?

No, Towanda, you cannot go.

- 'Cause I wanna watch. - Towanda.

- No. You cannot. - I can sit in the corner

- at the bar. - Towanda, you cannot go.

- But it depends on-- - No.

- Well, I'm gonna-- - Absolutely not.

Tamar, I'm trying to do this, um...

healthy thing.

Uh-huh.

And the healthy thing is just bindin' me.

I just feel binded, damn.

Traci, you are crazy.

And I feel like I don't get a chance

to, like, talk to my sisters one-on-one.

So while Traci's in town for the Grammys,

I asked her to go out for a drink

to catch up since she's really been stressed out

about little Kevin's engagement.

So I really wanted her to know

that she has my 100% support.

What's going on in the DMV area?

You know your nephew is engaged.

- Still engaged. - Yeah.

- Oh, Lord. - I feel like the monster-in-law.

You're disturbing their groove, Traci?

- I do. - Why?

They cook in the kitchen, I go in the kitchen.

- They watch a movie, I go and watch the movie. - Uh-huh.

You're turning into Evelyn.

Kinda sorta, I did.

Tamar, the way they look at each other.

It's real like this.

The way they interact with each other,

it's like-- almost like tearing my child

away from me.

I just don't want him to get married right now.

I am not trying to break up Kevin, Jr. and Olivia.

But I do want them to call off the engagement.

I'm trying to prevent a wedding here, people.

They are too young to get married

and start having babies.

So we doing, what, that Ma-- that-- what is that-- that Moscow?

- Moscow Mule. You ever have Moscow Mule? - Really? No.

You know-- I-- Traci's a drinker.

- Undercover... drinker. - What you mean?

- I drink a lot. - You do?

You know I get up and drink a breakfast vodka.

Breakfast vodka, what is that?

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

What is wrong with Traci? Something going on.

I am distracted by how loopy Traci's acting.

How many drinks have you have today?

Y'all not gonna make me look like an alcoholic.

I think there are some things that we need to resolve.

If the Atlanta show was what she is alluding to

and she really wants to talk about it,

you know what? Let's talk about it.

I'm just saying you're calling me a liar.

- So are you calling me a liar? - I am.

If I'm-- then I'm calling you one, too.

- Traci's a drinker. I drink a lot. - You do?

You know I get up and drink breakfast vodka.

Breakfast vodka, what is that?

Early in the morning, I need something to pep me up.

- Traci. - Boom.

EI mean, who don't, I dhave a breakfast beer?ka.

Come on now, when you have a hangover, you gotta have a beer

to get rid of your hangover.

I like to joke around,

but people shouldn't think I have a serious problem with it. That's stupid.

- Damn, and here I was, getting ready to order-- - I know, it's so funny.

Order a Moscow Mule. I feel bad.

- Uh-uh. I'm ordering one. - Oh.

You'd done left the breakfast part of it alone, right?

Yeah.

Well, I sure hope ain't nothing serious going on with Traci

because, you know, nobody just throw out

that they having breakfast vodkas.

Like, I heard of a breakfast burrito,

but not no damn breakfast vodka, honey.

That sounds crazy.

- Hi. - Hi.

Can we get two Mules...

Okay.

- Traci, it's good, fried pickles is good. - What, you pregnant?

You eating fried pickles. Who does that?

Fried pickles is bomb.

When I was younger, I would get them big--

you know, we used get to them big fat little pickles

- and eat them like that. - Trace don't-- don't--

- don't put that up to your mouth like that. - I don't do that anymore.

That was real Jenna Jameson, but I'm gonna let that slide.

'Cause you my girl, Traci Braxton.

Traci is a lot of fun

and I hope we can hang out more.

And I definitely wanna do the same thing with Trina.

Especially because we used to be really, really close.

- Can I get you ladies anything else? - That's it.

Traci, will you taste the fried pickle?

Nope, mm-mm, "Not I," said the duck.

Traci, you've had worse things in your mouth.

Crack. I know I have. But not that.

Taste it, Traci.

Child.

Bomb.

- That's amazing. - Mm-mm.

I am looking forward to getting together

with my sisters in LA this week,

but tonight I'm on my first date with Jason,

my contractor at Bar-Chix Restaurant.

- Hey. How are you? - Hi.

Oh, so I'm just gonna sit, no greeting, nothing?

- How are you tonight? - Hello.

Going on a date feels a little weird

because my divorce isn't final yet.

But Jason is such a great guy.

So this could be a really good distraction.

May I start you off with a cocktail?

I think I'll have a glass of Meiomi.

I'm fine, thank you.

Really?

Definitely.

- No, glass of champagne? - No, I don't drink alcohol.

- I'm sorry. - I don't drink alcohol.

Oh. Like, at all?

No. Never.

Oh.

Like, in your life?

Never tasted it.

This is not gonna go well.

I can see that right now.

Ooh.

I don't get that.

Why you just gonna smell your drink?

What if I just get my water and be like...

Well, because wines have a bouquet.

- And... - What did you say, bouquet?

- A bouquet. - I don't know what that is.

Now, if we're talking about cars--

Not into cars.

See, I just lost you, right?

- No. - I know cars.

What, your Mitsubishi Eclipse?

You got the wrong M, baby.

- What-- oh. - Not Mitsubishi, but Maserati.

Whatever.

He's so nice at the bar.

I don't know why he's acting like this.

I'm not sure if I find you interesting or annoying.

- Really? - I think you're gonna be completely, like, unfun.

It's like toast.

I mean, toast have a lot of different flavors

- depending on what you put on it. - Toast is dry.

I'm not being cocky, I'm not being smart,

it's just my demeanor.

Well, what do you want to know about me?

Just tell me a little bit about yourself.

Beyond the singing and the lights, just who are you?

How do you know about the singing and the lights?

I mean I didn't come up from underneath a rock.

I'm from Alabama, I'm not from...

you know, the, Amazon.

What?

Was that a laugh just now? Yay.

Okay, there could actually be a sense of humor

hiding underneath all that cockiness.

Maybe there is hope for this date yet.

So, what do you like?

I love my family.

Well, I come from a large family myself.

- Really? - One brother, four sisters.

- What?! Me, too. - Yeah.

This is the guy I agreed to go out with.

This is the Jason I know.

This date actually turned out to be pretty good after all.

I am super-duper nervous to tell my sisters about my date

because I don't want them to judge me

about jumping back into the dating world too soon.

- I'm gonna go to my car. - Not yet.

Ooh.

Whoop, don't do too much.

Okay, bye.

- I'm excited. Are you excited, Triny? - I am, too.

- I don't know. - Why?

Because it's different.

Trina and I just got to LA to support Toni,

who is nominated for another Grammy.

Yay!

Mmm, fancy shmancy.

We are meeting Toni

at this futuristic weight loss clinic

where she is getting a treatment done for the Grammys

where you freeze your fat or something. I don't really know.

Whatcha you got? You got something on?

- No, you have to be... - No, nakie.

Bucket naked.

- Really? - Oh.

I'm gonna wait to tell my sisters about my first date with Jason

because there's so much going on with Toni getting ready for the Grammys.

And I just don't want to hear their opinions on my love life.

I'm not ready to deal with that now.

Can you tell my sisters what this does?

Boosts your metabolism, it tightens the skin.

It's also great for weight loss because...

you burn between 500 and 800 calories.

Yes.

It's too bad Tamar couldn't be here

because she had to work. I understand.

She's gonna try and join us later when she can.

Although, she wouldn't drink the juice with me,

so I can't imagine her getting into one of these freezing cold machines.

All right, I'll go first.

- Okay. - Me and Towanda?

- Yeah. - All right.

So, uh, come on over here.

First you're gonna go into the chamber.

Go in the first room, take off your robe,

and hang them up there.

One minute remaining.

Hi.

45 seconds remaining.

Five, fo, three,

two, one.

Ready? Come on out.

- What was that? - Wasn't that fun?

Like, really Toni Braxton, really?

Did you really do this before?

I don't think you did this before.

I think you were just trying me out as a guinea pig.

Okay, Trina and Tracie.

We're going in together.

- This-- - Oh, my God.

Okay, it's even funnier the second time.

Toni is not a team player.

It's like a polar bear's coochie.

Yes, you did.

I've done it. It's great.

I haven't really done a chamber thing,

so I have to leave them by themselves.

I mean, I couldn't let them know I never did it.

How do you feel?

I feel thinner.

I feel cold.

I have frost bite on my hoo-ha.

'cause you couldn't even have any drawers or anything in there.

- And I will raise you up. -Oooh.

I choose to go into the chamber with your faces out.

Because I like how it makes my body feel.

I love that feeling, and I didn't want to mess up my makeup either.

- Toni looks like a kid. - Look at your little self.

Over all, we had a pretty fun day,

not to mention I'm gonna look amazing at the Grammys.

You know, I just really love hanging out with my sisters.

I wish Tamar could have been there.

It would have been the icing on the cake.

- It was fun. - Yeah, after the shock of it.

It will be great in my Grammys dress. That I don't have yet.

Come on, let's go. Thank you so much.

-Thank you. - Thank you so much.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

- I went on a date. -With whom?

- A man. - Oh, my God!

- I haven't done anything. - That's how you feel?

That is a fact.

- Hey. - Hey, hey.

I never been in this restaurant.

Is the food yummy because I'm so hungry.

- Are you-- - I don't know.

You look like you're in a good mood.

I'm actually in a great mood today.

Before lunch, Jason called me

and we had a really nice talk.

And now I can't stop thinking about him.

So maybe I'll tell my sisters about the date

because it's hard to hide the big grin on my face.

Okay, you guys remember my birthday party?

Yes.

Do you remember the guy I came with?

The guy in the armor?

We went on a date.

I think he was super nervous because...

he turned into this, like...

yuck ball, kind of, because he wasn't--

- You sure it wasn't you? - What's a yuck ball?

- It was not me. - I don't know what a yuck ball is.

Trina does have a history of falling really fast before she gets to know a person.

And then she's attached, and then she finds out

they're not the person she thought they was.

So I am cautious for her because she's in a vulnerable state.

It was really awkward at first and then it mellowed out.

He kind of gets under my skin.

- But yet I like it. - It's a challenge.

Or something.

You know what I mean?

Okay, the happy talk is bothering me.

There are red flags all over the place because

I want her to tread lightly.

And I know Trina's sensitive to criticism.

I don't have any criticism.

I just want her to go a little, teensy bit slower.

What do y'all talk about?

We talk about the bar a lot.

Why?

He is doing the construction on the bar.

She dating an employee?

And he's black.

I knew something was up

when I saw the two of them talking construction

in the Bar-Chix Restaurant.

I knew it, knew it, knew it.

I was hoping Jase was gonna be able to come with us

- and be available. - Who's Jase?

Jase, this is Jase. Towanda, I've said--

Oh, she gave you a nickname.

Of course.

You got yourself a little brownie you're flirting with.

Did y'all?

-I don't think so. - Like do the booty?

No, it's not booty time yet.

No, I didn't touch it.

So, Trina, when are you guys going on your second date?

I am not in a hurry

- to go on date number two. -Why not?

Because I am still digesting date number one.

I'm trying to focus on what Trina's saying,

but I am distracted by how loopy Traci's acting.

- Traci, where you going? To the restroom? - I gotta pee.

Okay. You're excused.

What the hell?

What is wrong with Traci?

I don't know, what's going on.

That feels suspect right there.

Something's going on.

We've all made the mistake

of having one too many cocktails,

so I don't know if we should judge just yet.

- If I ask her, will she tell me? - I don't know.

Traci clearly has had one too many drinks,

but nobody else wants to say anything.

How many drinks have you had today?

How many have you had?

Just one.

- One plus one plus-- - You all are not gonna

make me look like I'm an alcoholic.

My sisters think that I've been drinking

more than normal, but I am not an alcoholic.

Nobody have time for that. I got a career here.

Who wants to do that?

You're definitely not an alcoholic,

but when you drink, you can't really hold your liquor.

Traci clearly isn't in any shape to discuss this right now.

This is the first time I've seen her act like this.

So for now, I'm just gonna let it go.

It's just a little concerning for me.

- Hi. How are you? Jane Berg. Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

- Hi. Traci. - Hi. Jane Berg. Nice to meet you, Traci.

Today is day two

of Toni Braxton's Grammy prep with the sisters.

So we're gonna pick out some jewelry for Toni's Grammys.

Everything's stuck in transit.

Toni, it's, like, two days before. What you talkin' about?

I know this, I'm stressed. Can we-- can you help me calm down?

Can we focus?

The Grammys are two days away

and my dress still isn't here.

I'm trying not to stress,

but now I'm picking out my jewelry

without seeing what I'm wearing.

And I got some great pieces to look at.

Even if I'm naked, I can still look great.

What about this and this?

- You all like these ones? -No.

- You have to choose between your dress... - And your jewelry.

Eh?

- Same time-- -Knock on wood.

Here's Trina, giving fashion points.

- I am, actually. - How 'bout this one?

-Wait a minute, Toni. -No.

I know it's about you right now,

but something is going on with Trina, something different.

Like she's giving fashion points? She--

cooking and fashion points is not your strongest suit.

- I can cook. I can cook. - No. You cook from a box.

No your baby mama cooks from a box.

The black is kind of hot.

- Not with this charm. - Black is--

Black is definitely in right now.

What about a black on black?

- Yes, sir. - Something going-- what's--

Towanda, what's happening with Trina?

I went on a date.

With whom?

- Guys? - A man.

Something black.

And I just heard Trina is actually dating a black man.

It does seem like everyone else knows about this before me.

I can kind of tell, but that's okay.

I'm gonna let that slide because I'm in total shock right now.

- Does he got any children, like? - He does have children.

- He used to be married. - He's divor--

- He's divorced. - Things in common.

Hold on, hold on. Trina, I gotta ask how.

- His mother and father. - Are both black.

From where?

- He's from Alabama. - Zamunda.

From Alabama? That kind of black?

Oh, my God, girl!

- He's a nice guy. - They're not even from Connecticut kind of black?

You know, Connecticut, is a different type of black, different.

Hello. We're suppose to concentrating on Toni

- and her jewelry for the Grammys. -Okay, okay.

Whatever makes you feel lucky, I say wear.

Trina, what has this man done to you?

Oh, my God, Trina.

Trina really don't talk to me much about her divorce,

and now I'm the last to hear about her new man.

And the more I think about it,

the more sad I am that Trina and I

aren't close like we used to be,

'cause I really, really miss my sister.

And, really, it's starting to bother me.

I want us to sit down and try and reconnect.

As soon as possible.

- I love that. - I think what you picked is perfect.

- Are we done? - We're done. We're done with it.

-Yay! - Now look at God.

Thank you for not helping, Tamar.

Yeah, yeah, you're Toni Braxton. You got this, girl.

Toni.

- I know she told you. - Told me what? Told me what?

Trina likes sexual chocolate.

Like, is he mixed?

- I mean, that's still-- - I asked her that, Toni. See, I'm not going crazy.

No, they from Alabama. They real black people.

Not Colorado black people.

Not, you know, Boston black people.

- They are Alabama. - He's from Alabama, for real?

- Does he have an accent? - Like forty acres and a mule.

I got to go. This is too much information for me.

Girl, ah.

Won't he do it?

Thank you so much.

While I'm in town for the Grammys,

Tamar said she wanted to talk.

And we haven't had any one-on-one time for a long time.

And I wonder what this is about.

- Hi, Ms. Trinnie. - Hey, hey.

- You look cute. - So what you drinking?

I haven't tasted it yet.

Getting together with Trina feels way long overdue.

And I felt for a while now

that I have no idea what's going on with her.

And I really honestly can't stand

having this distance between us.

I just really wanna be close again

and I hope she wants that, too.

So what's going on in your world?

- Of course you know about Bar-Chix. - Yeah.

Excited about that.

It's going a little slower than normal.

Whatcha mean?

Because of my divorce with Gabe.

He's trying to take half.

This whole process has just been...

tumultuous.

So who you been talking to?

Throughout this whole deal, who's been your confidante?

Well, I haven't been really saying much to anybody.

I've just kinda been taking it on

and internalizing it for myself.

You and Towanda have been spending a lot of time together.

We have.

So what about you and the other girls?

How's that going?

I haven't really talked to anybody.

I talk to Toni every day. I mean, she comes over every day.

I'm not really in the loop.

I think there's some things that we need to resolve.

I really don't.

To be honest.

I have nothing to say about it.

- Really? - Yes, very much, really.

Because I haven't done anything.

I don't know if this is a conversation that we need to be having.

- It is. - I don't think anyone is ready

- to be honest and face the truth. - I am.

I feel like there's still an elephant in the room,

and if the Atlanta show was what she's alluding to, you know what?

Let's talk about it.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

Why are you pacing?

My dress is not here yet. Ashlee had to go pick it up.

This could be a disaster.

Oh, don't tell me what time it is.

Don't even tell me.

A

A happier

A happier mom

A happier mom is

A happier mom is a

A happier mom is a happier

A happier mom is a happier household.

A Do you know what I mean? isOur house was full of

- pessimism. - What's pessimism? I don't know that word.

Someone always saying that something is wrong.

You understand what I'm saying?

Can you use pessimism in a sentence?

'Cause I just kinda wanna fully--

- I just-- I just said it. - Pessimism.

The boy was very pess-- no. That doesn't go.

- No. Pessimist. - He looked at the girl

- in a pessimism way. - No.

- No. No. - Can you use it in a sentence?

Our house was full of pessimism.

- That doesn't explain it. - The negativity.

- And negativity. - But if that means

- negativity and negativity. - Okay. Okay.

Okay, pessimism is the opposite of an optimist.

I just want you to use it in a sentence

so I could fully understand the word,

because I've never really heard it before.

You using these big old words.

I don't need a thesaurus, I have Trina.

Well, it's true.

But I think there's some things that we need to resolve.

I really don't.

To be honest.

I have nothing to say about it because--

- Really? - Yes, very much really.

Because I haven't done anything.

- That's how you feel? - That's how it is.

That is the truth, that is a fact.

I'm not apologizing for things that didn't happen.

- So, what didn't happen? - The things that were made up in people's minds,

- I'm not apologizing for that. - But what didn't happen?

I think Tamar keeps trying to justify her Atlanta concert where

we surprised her onstage and she got very upset.

The girls and I have planned

a wonderful surprise for Tamar.

And I'm like, "What the hell is that?

What are we doing here?"

- She was mad. - What she mad at us?

Yes?

Tamar's tour manager looked me straight in the face

and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave."

You put your family out. You had your family put out.

Absolutely. You absolutely did.

So apparently my sisters just wanna believe a bunch of dumb stuff

and lies about my Atlanta show.

Like, I had somebody throw them out of the venue

and I cussed them out.

And, you know, at this point,

go ahead and believe whatever you wanna believe.

I'm the bad guy, you right, I'm wrong.

Okay. I'm wrong, wrong, wrong.

Miss Wrong.

I never cussed anybody out.

- That was not true. - That's not true, Tamar.

Okay, so what did I say? You were there.

- Yeah, I was there. - Okay, so what did I say?

- Where? Where were you? - I was there, Tamar--

- Tamar. Tamar-- - You was not in--

- Tamar, I was not in the room. - Oh, my God.

But I was in an audible situation.

- So you're calling me a liar. - So-- so, are you calling me a liar?

- I am. - If I'm-- then I'm calling you one, too.

Because I'm not lying about the situation.

People have ears. It happened.

You heard from Towanda's assistant

who attacked me on Twitter and Instagram.

That's not true. That's not true.

Well, what he told you was not true.

- It's true. - No. No, it's--

- We were put out. Julio over there-- - That's not my fault.

- Julio. Excuse me, Julio. - Was that my fault?

- Julio, were you there? -Yes. Yes.

I told David to put--

- I told David to put my sisters out? - He said, "I'm sorry,

but I have to ask you to leave."

And I said, "Who, me?"

- He said, "Yes, I was"-- - Am I arguing that happened?

Wait-- wait a minute. He said, "Yes.

I was asked to tell you to leave."

Did that or did that not happen?

- That's really convenient. - Did I call them a bunch of bitches?

- That's true. - Let's go in.

- That's true, that's true. - Let's go all the way in.

Because I'm not gonna continue to let nobody

make me feel like or paint me out to be a-- -- when I'm not.

It's definitely-- it's definitely true.

You know, it's just really sad when you tell somebody

what really happens

and they still don't wanna believe it.

And so I just feel real sad.

Like, you just wanna be mad?

You called us bitches and Teletubbies.

- You heard for yourself? - I heard some things for myself.

Okay.

I'm owed an apology.

You should say, "You know what, Tamar?

I shouldn't have jumped on your stage."

- You gotta take responsibility for it as well. - I'm not, because...

- I do take responsibility. I do take respon-- - No, you don't. No, you don't.

- Because-- because I said... - No, you don't. No, you don't.

- I said, "This is something thatamar..." - No. No, you don't.

"...might not enjoy and might not like.

- However, it might"-- - So, it's fault that I didn't like it?

I'll wait until you're finished.

I'll definitely wait.

- I'm an-- because-- - Because it--

- I'm an--, not a superstar because I didn't like it. - But it did not come from

- a space of maliciousness. - Whatever.

- Don't talk at me, talk to me. - I can't talk to you

because you don't respect me enough to hear what I have to say.

- I'm definitely listening. - Just like now, you did not hear what I had to say.

I heard you. This is not why I showed up.

Let me tell you why. Every single time we all get together,

this is always going to be the result.

Let me just explain to you why.

Because we don't see each other.

- We don't talk to each other. - Why is that?

You cannot expect-- okay.

- Why is that? - Because it's always Tamar and it's never nobody else.

Nobody else does anything else to Tamar,

and she just needs to go ahead on and accept it

'cause she's the sorriest mother--

- that ever walked this planet. - Get off your cross.

- We're not gonna act like-- - I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. - We're not gonna act like

- they were unsavory things. We're not gonna act like that. - I'm sorry!

- We're not gonna do that. - What else? Now what?

- Not gonna do it. - Now what?

I cannot change Trina's mind

from what she wants to believe

than from what really happened.

I was just trying to move on from it and she don't wanna move on,

then that's her being stuck.

I really don't care anymore. I really don't care anymore.

Did I say I really don't care? I really don't care anymore.

- But I love you. - I love you, too, boo.

Tamar and I have a different opinion of what took place.

But at the end of the day, we're sisters and we love each other,

and I think the only thing that can fix our sistership

with Tamar and everybody else,

is to just let bygones be bygones

and keep it moving.

- Hey. -Hey!

Hey.

- Hey, love. - Hey, Tone.

How you doing?

The Grammy red carpet starts in an hour

and I still don't have my dress.

Even if my niece/assistant

Ashlee gets here in the next few minutes,

I have no idea if I'm gonna make it on time.

And this could be a disaster.

- What? Why you wearing shades? - And why you pacing?

I'm catching a headache.

- You're catching a headache? - Because my dress is not here yet.

- She had go to FedEx to go get my dress. - No.

Don't tell me what time it is. Don't even tell me.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

I met with Tamar yesterday.

- What happened? - I got there

and then, next thing you know, boom.

Catastrophe ensues.

Don't

Don't tell

Don't tell me

Don't tell me what

Don't tell me what time

Don't tell me what time it

Don't tell me what time it is.

Don't tell me what time it is. Don't

Don't tell me what time it is. Don't even

Don't tell me what time it is. Don't even tell

Don't tell me what time it is. Don't even tell me. - Well, you look skinny. -Yeah.

No one's gonna see 'cause I don't have a dress.

---!

Is that Ashlee?

- I got the dress. - Hey, you got it. Okay.

- I gotta get dressed. -Okay.

I need to make the fastest wardrobe change ever.

The category I'm nominated for

is in the pretelecast awards.

Any minute they'll start hearing the red carpet arrivals

and announcing the pretelecast winners.

And I'd like to be there before it's announced, so...

I'm more than nervous. I'm stressing.

Why you making that face?

I met with Tamar yesterday.

- What happened? - I got there

and we're talking about accomplishments

and we're talking about, you know, my divorce with Gabe.

And we're talking about the bar.

Wonderful, positive things.

And then next thing you know,

boom!

Catastrophe ensues.

I actually thought Tamar was supposed to be joining us

here at the hotel today before the Grammys.

But I'm not totally surprised she's a no-show,

especially after our disagreement yesterday.

You know, she was saying that she didn't call us bitches

and didn't throw us out.

She saying that we're not taking responsibility

for that fact that it was her show, blah blah blah blah.

That's not the only issue.

Come on, come on.

You know what, I am always hopeful

that maybe one day we all can just get together

and, you know, get past all of this mess.

'cause that's just what it is right now, it's just mess.

But how did you guys even start the conversation?

Towanda, I promise it's all a blur.

- Oh, you look beautiful. - You look great.

I'm gonna finish my makeup in the car.

- I gotta go, I'll see y'all there. Kisses. -I love you!

Guys, I'm really gonna be late.

In the car, there's a robe in the car.

- I gotta go, okay? -Bye.

Love you, love you!

Bye, Grammy girl.

I'm so late, I need a miracle right now.

Ah, so excited.

That color looks great on her, though.

Oh, that pop of purple is nice for the shoes.

We are at the hotel, watching the red carpet coverage.

And there's a scroll across the bottom of the screen

announcing the pretelecast winners

and we see Toni Braxton and Babyface

won the Grammy.

- Oh, my God! Oh, my God! - Yeah!

Toni hasn't even made it to the venue yet.

But we are so excited for her.

I need to call Toni Braxton's manager

because I know Toni doesn't have her phone with her.

- I'm calling Mommy. - I'm calling Pop-pop.

Oh, my God.

She won! She won, Marcus! She won.

We're in the car, we're driving to the venue

and we look at the phone and it says,

"R&B Grammy category-- Toni Braxton and Babyface."

- Oh, God. - Right. Whoo-hoo!

- That's Tamar screaming. - Oh, my God.

Holla, holla, holla, holla, holla.

Even though Tamar and I got into a disagreement yesterday,

I had to call Tamar to share Toni's wonderful news with her.

It's sad that she's not here with us.

Toni!

-Braxton! - Yes.

She's a-- right now-- Grammy winner.

We'll see you when we get back to the hotel.

- Okay. Okay, bye. - Okay.

- Oh, she won. - Yes. Scream and yell.

- Scream right out. - I told everybody.

I told her.

Toni is going to walk the red carpet in her fabulous dress

and then come back to the hotel to celebrate.

I'm going to call everybody I know

and tell them, Toni has won a Grammy.

- Okay, give her the face. - That's Toni, Toni.

- Scary. - Toni.

- Yes, Ms. Goddess, you better work. - It's looks so pretty.

- Flawless. - Marc Bouwer.

Marc Bouwer, always.

Yay, Toni!

I did the leg clap.

Go and get the door.

- I knew it, Tone. I knew it. - I'm so excited.

Guess who was in the elevator?

- Who? - Mommy.

Hey, Mommy.

In the elevator.

This Grammy was important to me

because I was contemplating retiring.

I wasn't gonna do this anymore.

And it makes me feel this was the path I was supposed to take.

My friends who called and support me,

Babyface, "Come on, we can do it, we can do it."

It's a great moment.

- Oh, I'm so tired. - Sit down.

Have a seat, have a seat.

Watch out, let me sit. Let me sit there.

- That was fun. - All that hard work.

Fan her. Fan her.

That was tense.

Oh, my God.

It was fun. I had a good time.

I was excited, we was excited.

- Thanks, guys. - Oh, my God.

Where's Tamar?
