My biggest fear
in this divorce

is that Gabe is going to try
to stake a claim on Bar Chix.

How much money did you pay?

$175,000 cash.

What do you think is the record
they're going with first?

I don't know.
I'm so confused.

So I'm working
on my second album,

and it's a lot of pressure.

- Sophomore slump.
- It sucks.

We're heading
to the stage in minutes,

and Traci is slightly
acting the fool.

I was really upset
at her concert,

but I did not have
any drinks.

I was pissed.
I was drunken with "angerness."

Okay?

You know that divorces
take a long time.

My first one didn't take
as long as this one.

Antavius, my attorney,
asked me to meet him
at his office.

I don't know
what this is about,

and now I'm just
even more stressed out.

♪ 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." ♪

My question is
do we really have to answer

a lot of these
just ludicrous questions?

Under normal
circumstances, yes.

I mean,
it's a legal process,

and we have to have it--
have an answer.

Thank you.
You have to have an answer.

There's been
some haggling
back and forth

with our side
and their side.

My court appearance
is today,

but Antavius asked me
to stop by his office first.

What could this
possibly be about?

I can't take any more
surprises from Gabe.

So this is the agreement.

Um...

Your divorce is final.

Shut up!

Shut up! No way!

Oh, my-- like, is it
gonna be done today?

- It's over.
- Say, "Psych."

- No, you're divorced.
You're single.
- Really?

So that's-- that's really
why I called you in.

I can't believe that
this divorce is a done deal.

I am so overwhelmed
and happy that it's over.

So this is the agreement.

- You need to sign it.
- Mm-hmm.

- If you don't mind.
- I don't mind at all.

So is there anything
we need to go over?

What this basically says
is everything that
is yours is yours,

including Bar Chix.

Hallelu!

Wait.
Where do I sign?

I guess
where it says "T.B.S."
and not his name.

You're gonna initial on each
page where it says T.B.S.

And just sign the last page
and you're good.

I am so glad that Gabe's not
getting any part of Bar Chix.

That's been my biggest fear
this whole time,

in that I had invested a lot
of money, time, and effort
into Bar Chix.

And he thought he was gonna
walk away with half?

Oh, and then be partners?

And I'd be stuck with
that beaver-bald jerkhole?

Absolutely not.

You gonna throw your party?

I'm-- I'm about to go buy
a bottle of champagne right now.

Where you gonna go?

I'm gonna get some Veuve.

If you getting Veuve,
I'm going.

- Well, let's go.
- Let's go.

Well,
since I paid you enough,
you get to buy.

Wait a minute.
Who ordered champagne?

Oh, I preordered some.

Thank you, Trina.
That's sweet.

I invited everyone
to dinner

to announce my big news,

but since my sisters
have always

given me such a hard time
about Gabe,

I think I'm gonna have
a little bit of fun
at their expense.

You ordered food,
too, Trina?

-What is it?
- Yeah.

It's just
little appetizers.

- Okay, let me try.
What is this?
- What is it?

There are only three,
and you took a whole one.
You didn't cut it in half.

-What is it?
- Yummy.

I actually brought
all of you here
for a reason,

but everybody has to have
some champagne first.

I'll have champagne.

Trina must have something
exciting to tell us.

She's shelling out
for the champagne.

I mean,
hopefully she's not gonna
tell us she's pregnant.

You know,
sometimes in marriage
when it's over,

that last one
for the road...

That could be bad.

We have to raise our glasses.
I have a toast.

This toast is to Gabe.

Oh, Lord!

Trina getting back
with him now?

Your toast is to Gabe?

- This--
- I'm putting
my glass down.

No, you have to listen
to the whole thing.

Okay, I'll wait
until I listen.

Traci, pick up
the glass.

This toast is to Gabe.

Thank you
for the experience.

Our time has expired,

and it's time for you
to exit out of my life.

My divorce is final!

Clink, clink, clink,
clink, clink.

Clink, clink,
Trini!

- Clink, clink.
-Congratulations.

- Clink, clink.
-Mm, mm, mm!

Yay, my divorce is final!

- Yay!
-Yay!

Yeah!

Anything that makes her
happy, I'm happy,

but this makes me
the happiest.

I-- I don't know.

I don't know if it's
gonna be real or not.

It's like an orgasm.

Either you get it
or you don't.

You trying
to search for it.
I don't know.

That's how I feel.

Monster, you don't
have much to say.

'Cause it's
just celebratory.

No, you had all that to say
while we were married,

and you can't say nothing
while we're divorced.

I didn't have much to say

after I said
what I said about it.

I used to have room.

I've used all
of my shade coupons.

I mean, I don't have
no feelings

about Trina
and Gabe's divorce.

I filed for divorce.
Can you please pass the salt?

What?

Tamar, you're doing
too much. Tamar.

So you James Brown now.
Sit down.

That's the meanest
thing ever.

See, Tamar, that's why
I hate telling you stuff.

No, uh-uh. Let me tell why--
I'm excited for you.

She happy, I'm happy.

So, Trina-- so he
wasn't able to take

half your bar
after all, huh?

- Nothing. Nothing.
- Oh, wow. Yay!

He left with him,
and I left with me.

- That's good.
-Yes.

What am I feeling?
I feel a backbone.

Oh, my God.

- Traci.
-
I kept telling you.

It is so nice that
we are all getting along

and can be here for Trina
to celebrate

such a big moment
in her life.

But I've been
away from my family
and my life in Maryland,

and I tell you the truth,

I'm excited
to be going home soon.

I'm done.
I'm divorced.

I'm free.
I can sin legally.
I'm good.

- You can sin legally?
- Yes.

Who-- I don't--
I don't get it.

- Sin.
- Legally sin.

Oh, sin.
S-I-N.

- Yes.
- Fornicate.

-I didn't say that.
I just said sin legally.
- Okay.

That's what it is, though.
It's fornication.

-Legally.
- Sorry, Mommy.

I'm not really
gonna sin right--

- Oh, yes, she is.
- That's on you.

I have been
under so much stress

with this terrible,
messy, awful divorce,

and I'm not ready
to do anything yet,

but I feel so free knowing
I can do whatever I want

with whoever I want
behind closed doors.

But Mommy didn't need
to know the specifics,
Towanda and Toni.

So, Trina,
when is Bar Chix
officially gonna open?

We're looking at just
another couple of weeks.

Yes.

I stopped by the Bar Chix
the other day,

and there is still
a lot of work to be done.

And, I mean, I don't know
nothing about construction,

but all the stuff
that it looks like
needs to be done--

I don't think it's gonna
open in a few weeks.

I'm nervous.

But I think
I was more nervous

when I was--
before my divorce
was final,

because I was scared,
but now I'm all free
and clear,

so now I can only be nervous
about opening the bar.

-Yay.
- But I need all
of you guys to be there.

I'm trying
to stay positive,

but, truthfully,
I'm freaking out a little,

because I'm way behind
in getting the bar open.

But I can't really delay
the grand opening much longer.

I need to start
making some money.

Tami,
what's been going on?

My album
comes out soon.

- Hey, yay.
- I don't know
what day, but...

You should have
your album release party
at Bar Chix as a free venue.

- Hallelu!
- Mm-hmm!

Look at God.
He's all in the air.

Won't He do it?
Have you had an Atlanta
release?

I ain't never had
a release party.

I've never
had a release party.

Me either.

Trina,
how's Jacent?

Things are going well.

I didn't wanna
move too quickly,

'cause, you know,
my divorce wasn't final.

And I think it was okay
to be friends.

And just--
maybe things will progress,
maybe they won't.

I don't know.
But right now...

I'm so happy
that you're happy.

...we're working well
together, and...

Yes. Yay, Trina.

How come everybody
can't meet him?

- Let's all
meet him together.
- I wanna meet him.

Trina, why don't you plan
a dinner or something?

Yeah!

How do you feel
about that?

Um...

Okay, let's--
let's-- let's do it.

- Mm.
- Mm!

Hallelu!

I'm so happy that Trina's
finally letting us meet Jacent.

I mean, she's been
keeping him under wraps,

and I can't wait
to find out more
about him.

The next thing
is Toni getting a date.

Yay!

This is not about me.
Can we focus?

- This is about Trina.
-Child, bye.

Did you see the pink
on the doors?

I did.

- Don't you
like that better?
- No.

- Are you kidding?
- Mm-mm.

- Why?
- Just not my thing.

Bar Chix is supposed to open
in a couple of weeks,

but there is a lot that
needs to get done first.

I'm anxious, but we're
getting things accomplished,

but I'm still gonna be biting
my nails until we launch.

- How you feeling?
- Uh, stressed.

Nervous.

How long is this
gonna take?

He said it could be
a couple of weeks.

- I'm sorry?
- He said it could be
a couple of weeks.

A couple of weeks?

That's already
a push-back, then,

if it's a couple
of weeks.

The vent hood installation
needs to be done

before we can schedule
our inspection from the city,

and this cannot
take two more weeks

or we're in serious,
serious trouble.

You wanna see
what he's doing?

Yes, I would love
to see what he's doing.

- Hey, Mike.
- Hey.

How you doing?
This is Trina.

Hi, Mike.
How are ya?

Hey, Trina.
I got a little dirt
on my hands, so...

Nice to meet you.
- Sorry, sorry.

So, once we hang
the hood,

we'll cut
the curbs in today,

and then I have to do
the drawings and everything
for the fire marshal,

for him
to approve everything,

then go to the city, also,
for them to approve everything.

And once they approve it,

we can kind of weld in
all the duct and everything,
so, sorry.

That sounds like
a lot, though.

How long
is that gonna take?

- Let's say
about a week.
- A week?

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

Trina is grown.
She's real grown.

- But she's
been through so much.
- Yes, ma'am.

Jacent and I are walking
into a lion's den.

She all goo-goo-eyed.
We not, though. Mm-mm.

I'm not goo-goo-eyed.

Lies from
the book of lies.

Some of the things that
your sister does to you,

that needs to be addressed.

I want you to go sit down

and maybe have
a conversation with someone.

Once they approve it,
we can kinda weld in all
the duct and everything,

- so, sorry.
- Sounds like a lot, though.

How long is that
gonna take?

Let's say
about a week.

- A week?
- Yeah, a week. Sorry.

Can we do it in,
like, three days?
Four days?

Uh...

Right now
I don't think I can.

Okay.

Right now
I'm kind of busy.

But I'll try my hardest,
if I can, to get it for
you next weekend.

- Thank you very much.
- It's just I've got, like,
five other jobs going on,

and right now I've got
two other ones I'm finishing,

so the first chance
we'll get, we'll jump
up here and get on it.

- Okay.
- To get you guys ready
and get you guys going.

I can respect that.

It's disappointing that
the hood isn't going in today,

but at least the water heater
is getting installed.

If the plumber
ever shows up, that is.

The plumber should
have been here by now.

Can you call him?

I would have never figured
that it would be so hard

to get people
to do their jobs.

It's not like I'm asking them
to do it for free.

I need this plumber
to show up today,

or there is no way
the inspection will be
done in time.

All right, thank you.

Bye.

She said 12:30 today

was contingent on
if they weren't busy.

- Well, why not
tell us that?
- I don't know.

But she said for sure
they'll be out here
on Monday.

And it's a multi-day job.

Am I the put-off job
or something?

Is there something
on the Internet saying
put it off?

It's very frustrating.

- Every day counts.
- I understand.

Like, my hands are tied,
and there's nothing I can do.

It's, like,
I'm forced to wait.

Well, unfortunately,
we're at a stage

to where it's out
of our control.

After fighting my ex
so hard in the divorce

to keep 100% of Bar Chix,

I'm determined
to make it a success,

but I'm so frustrated
with these delays.

I'm just going to keep
moving forward

with the things
I can control

and just pray
that this inspection
happens really soon.

We have a life also.

Mm-mm.
Have no idea yet.

Not Bar Chix.

Well, since you don't
have any plans,

then you can meet
my family.

Um, okay.

- Hello. Thank you.
- Hello.

Good evening.

I can't believe
that we finally

got Trina to agree
to introduce us

to her new guy,
her new beau.

I don't know why she's been
so secretive about him, though.

This poor guy has no idea
what's in store for him.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, little girl.

Hey, Traci.

- How you doing, Mommy?
- Hey, baby.

Well, we're not gonna order
until Trina gets here, right?

Why?
Let's order now.

I feel like Jacent and I
are walking into a lion's den.

I know there's gonna
be a million and one
questions and comments,

and it's making me
so nervous.

I just hope
Jace can handle it,

because this is my family,

and, like it or not,
they're not going anywhere.

Hey, girls.
Hey, Mom.

- Hi.
- Hey, Trace.

- This is Jace.
- Nice to meet you all.

I was gonna call you Akon.
I thought that's who-- wow!

Thank you.

He does look like Akon.

My baby sister Tamar.

Hey, boo. I'm sorry.
I wasn't trying to be offensive.

- You get that all the time.
- No problem. All the time.

- See?
- My sister Tone.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

You met Towanda already.

- Jace, hey.
- Hey, Towanda.
How you doing?

You already met me,
but it's okay.

- My sister Traci.
- Hi, Traci.

- Hey. You're black.
- Of course.

Wow. Okay.

Trina told everyone
she's dating a black man.

But I never really
believed her until now.

Okay.

- Traci!
-He's black.

Not just black.
He's bla-ck.

With a Q.

Her life gonna
change forever.

So how you all
doing tonight?

Good.
What about you?

I'm doing wonderful.
Thanks for asking.

Wow, you feel like you
in a principal's office,
don't you?

You can leave your resume
when you leave, though.

We know that Trina is grown.
She's real grown.

- But she's been
through so much...
- Yes, ma'am.

...that we just don't
wanna see her go through
anything else.

- When she hurt,
we all hurt.
- Yes, ma'am.

And you know, like,
while she all goo-goo-eyed,

we not, though.
Mm-mm.

I'm not goo-goo-eyed.

- Lies.
- Yes, you are.

- Lies and lies.
- Wait a minute.
I am not!

- Lies from
the book of lies.
- Yeah.

- Where did you meet?
-At the bar.

-Okay.
- We were there with
each other every day,

sometimes having lunch,
discussing things
with Bar Chix,

and then he asked me
to have dinner,

and I said yes.

So do you have
any sisters and brothers?

-Yes, ma'am.
- Okay.

I have four sisters
and one brother.

Oh, all right.
Nice-sized family.

- Yes, ma'am.
- That's wonderful.

He say "yes, ma'am"s
and everything.

- Good start.
How old are you?
- 39.

- What do you do?
- Telecommunications
and construction.

- You saved?
- I was raised
in a church, yes.

I think it's wonderful.
I like you already.

Yes, ma'am.
Thank you.

- Do you have any kids?
- I do.

-How many children?
- I have three.

- One baby mama?
- Yes.

-That's good.
- You were married.

-I was.
- Okay.

Yes.

I knew this was coming.

Here we go.
20 questions.

Who do my sisters
think they are?

Sherlock Holmes?

How are your relationships
with your kids' mom?

- Y'all friends?
- Definitely.

Sounds like
he respects her.

If the respect is there,

you can deal
with the situation.

Okay.

Can we order
some chewables
or something?

Let's get
the pork belly, girl.

Let's get the baked brie.

Let's get
that seafood tower.

- I like that.
- I want a bone-in rib eye.

Let's get all of this.
Let's get lamb chops.

The skewers,
the beef, the tuna.

Yeah, everything
on the menu.

Onion rings.
Gotta have onion rings.

You payin', right?

I don't think
you're gonna eat all that.

I can pay for my own.

No, that's not
gonna happen.
Mm-mm.

You sit at the table with me,
I'll take care of it.

Trina, scoot your chair
over a little bit.

Get the man
something to drink.

You want
something to drink?

I think she needs
something to drink.

I think so, too,
but you sure you
don't want nothing?

- Oh, I'm fine.
- You want some biscuits?

- My mother make
amazing biscuits.
- No, I'm okay for now.

You sure?
You let me know
what you need.

I think I found
what I need.

Ooh!

Child! Jesus.

I believe
that all of my sisters
agree with me

when I say anything
is better than Gabe!

Anything is better
than Gabe!

Anybody is better
than Gabe!

Yes, yes,
she got a new man.

That's how we feel.
Really, that's really
how we feel.

Things have changed
around here.

- Thank you.
- This is beautiful.

This is a very nice place.

It is.
I like this.
It's comfy.

My husband Kevin and I
are having dinner with
my manager, Cliff.

I've been touring
and traveling with
my sisters so much,

it will be good
to get back

to concentrating
on my career.

I wanted to go over
some business

and talk about
some other things.

- One is the album.
- Mm-hmm.

You know, people been
throwing songs at us.

Some nice, some ain't.

You know, I haven't
sent anything to you

because I know you've been
out on the road.

But don't you think
I should stay with my formula?

- I mean...
- Absolutely.

The first album was
such a great R&B album.

That's what
I wanna stick to.

I don't want you
trying to chase--

I'm not gonna
call any names,

but I don't want you
chasing anybody else.

I want you to stay
within your realm.

So... I want
to talk to you.

There are some things
that transpired, you know,

over the last few weeks.

I was real concerned
about you.

There was a situation
that happened in Miami

that you called me about.

Where's Traci?

There's Traci.
She's here, too.

I was just mad.
I was mad that day.

'Cause I felt as though
I support my sisters
all the time.

I'm just looking
for that same support
that I give them.

When you start
thinking about your past

and start thinking about
some of the things

that your sister does
to you and say to you,

you tend to show a different,
uh, you, I should say.

So I want you
to go sit down

and maybe have
a conversation with someone

about the things
that are bothering you.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

I'm gonna be working on
some of these videos.

Are you sure?!

You gonna become
unbooked for me?

I do this for the art,
Tamar.

This is a legend, honey.

Well, we're celebrating
my "alblum."

All right.
Whoo-hoo!

You're gonna get your life in,
like, a different kind of way.

I'm so nervous, guys.

- I just had
a little suggestion.
- What is it?

I want you to go sit down

and maybe have
a conversation with someone

about the things
that are bothering you.

- Huh?
- I ain't doing that.

What do I need
to do that for?

Right now,
I'm keeping it
real with you

as a manager,
as a brother,
as a friend.

Someone who cares just
as much as your husband do.

I'm just telling you--
look what you've accomplished.

The problem is
it's your past

and the things that you've
been dealing with for years

that needs to be addressed.

This is your opportunity,
outside of your sisters,

outside of your parents,

to go sit down,
you, by yourself,

and sit and explain
to Dr. Mike Lindsey,

how you feel
and where you are
right now

with this and this.

I think it's time.

What I think Cliff
is saying, in a nutshell,

is you're carrying around
a lot of weight,

a lot of weight that you don't
even deserve to carry around.

And it's, like,
trigger points.

You know what I'm saying?
You winning right now.

And you don't need nothing
to be in your way.

So what you gonna to?

I'm gonna see him.
I'm gonna see Doc.

I promise.
I'm gonna go see him.

Yay.

I'm not gonna make an excuse,

so I'm gonna go.

If you don't go,
that mean I get to control

the remote control
for the rest of the year.

No way.
Ain't gonna happen!

This is not my fault
that you come in early
in the morning

- 'cause you work at night.
- Remote control.

It's not my fault
that you go to sleep
and I'm up and I watch TV.

- Break the promise.
- You can't--

Remote.
Just remember that.

Remote.
Don't touch it.

We gonna get two TVs
in the room.

No, you watch
what I want to watch.

- Hey.
- Hey, Trina.

- Hello.
- How are you?

- You just got here?
- Yes.

Check you.
You look cute.

So I been working
on my album,

and since I'm in Atlanta,

I thought it would be
a good idea

for my sisters
to come down to the studio

just to hang out with me
and listen to some music.

Fun, fun.

- H.P. Carver, the driver.
- Good to see you.

- Hey, monster.
- Hi, baby-cakes.

Mwah!

- Tell me what
we're celebrating.
-We're celebrating...

- my "alblum."
- All right. Whoo-hoo!

"Alblum."

And...

and me being close
to finished,

which I don't
ever feel like an artist
is ever finished, right?

You're never finished.

I'm ready to hear it.
Let me hear. Let me listen.

- I've been anticipating.
- I wanna hear.

You want us to drink champagne
while we're listening?

Sure, why not?
It's a celebratory
moment, right?

So I've been working on my album
for about a year now,

and the closer I get
to being done with it,

the more nervous I get
to putting it out,

because, I mean,
I'm super confident
with my music now,

but you never kind of know
what the fans are gonna think.

- It's hard to, like...
-Why?

..."caw-caw,"
let it out, you know?

Everybody gets
sophomore anxiety.

It's not an album
full of up-tempos.

I'm like, you're gonna
get your life in, like,
a different kind of way.

You know what I'm saying?

Well, it's called
"Calling All Lovers," right?

It's about all different
kinds of lovers, right?

And I feel like
everyone has been...

in love,

whether it had been
being in love with yourself

or trying to find love
with yourself,

or being in love
with somebody else

and being happy
in that love,

or being in love
with somebody and not
being happy in that love.

That's this section
over here.

- Whoo!
- And that's about

by that self kind of love
I'm talking about with Toni.

You know, and then--
or the person who's
searching for love.

So it's calling--
calling all lovers.

Everybody, come here.
I got something to tell y'all.

Pretty much that, so...

Well, since I put out
"Love and War,"

it's just been
a lot of changes, honey.

Like, I'm more of a mom,

and I'm running
13,000 businesses.

I feel like
now I'm a woman.

Have you heard
the single yet, guys?

Let me hear what you got.

I'm so nervous, guys.

- Because, you know--
- Can we just play?

- And I tweeted.
- Hit play.

Ooh, I don't know
what to do.

- Thank you.
- It's just--

♪ Sitting in the dark ♪

♪ Off in my room,
thinking of you ♪

♪ I'm not ever coming ♪

♪ Breaking down ♪

♪ 'Cause all these thoughts
of me and you apart ♪

♪ Won't leave my head
right now... ♪

My album came from
what has happened to me
in the past

and made me reflect on
the Tamar that I used to be--

like, super-duper
insecure.

I mean,
I'm still insecure
some days,

but, you know,
it just made me appreciate

my relationship
that I have now.

You know, I've been
through pure holy hell

and kissed a lot of frogs,
and now I have my prince.

♪ I'm tired of these lies
inside my life ♪

♪ I'll lose my mind
if I don't have you... ♪

I want my line back.

That was great.

I have something to say.

Yes!
I love it.
I love it.

- I just had
a little suggestion.
- What is it?

Just a teeny one.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

Look at that.

- What?
- Look at that.

I need to look flawless
in every picture.

I need my entire support team
to be on it, okay?

You know
my single that came out,
"If I Don't Have You"?

I said, "Do you
think it's too late for me
to change the second verse?"

I do feel you, because
the first print of the album

was out, "Love,
Marriage, and Divorce,"
and we changed some lyrics.

I feel like I wanna--
I wanna change--

- But it's already out.
- But I--

No, you can't
change that.

Sorry, that's done.
You're done on that.

-You can't do that.
-That's done.

You can do an extended
release version.

No, change the lyrics live.
I've done it all the time.

No, that's a rig,
'cause then people are like,
"Ooh, she forgot her own song.

- She just made up lyrics."
- No. No. No, they don't.

If you do it with--
no, with confidence,

they go, "Ooh,
I got the lyrics wrong."

You can't do that.
Don't do that.

- I just had
a little suggestion.
- What is it?

Just a teeny one.

The breakdown
is so effin' bananas.

- Which one?
- ♪ Ooh... ♪

-Yeah.
- I would start
the song with that.

I don't need the intro
of the music.

- It's not. It's--
- It's not necessary.

What you're listening to,
yeah, this is not even
the radio version.

I know,
but I'm telling you,
just my suggestion.

I would start it
with the...
♪ Ooh... ♪

And then go to the verse.

I'm just saying.
'Cause that's dope.

Yeah, it's catchy.
It makes you wanna sing it.

Everybody would love
to have advice from Toni

the Braxton
diva extraordinaire,

but, for me,
respectfully,

I have to be
100% comfortable
with my own music.

Lyric-wise, like,
do you understand
what I was trying to say?

- No.
- No one hears
or understands.

- No, not understand
as in--
- Sorry.

Does it make sense
to you?

- That's all that matters.
- That's all that matters.

No!

All I need to know--
"If I Don't Have You."

I'm trying to tell Tamar
that it does not matter

if people know the exact
meaning of your lyrics

that you're writing or not.

All that really matters
is how the listener feel

when they're listening
to your music.

- Can we cheers
real quick?
- Cheers!

Clink, clink, clink, clink,
clink, clink, clink.

Whoo!

Usually, hair stylists show up
with their hair not done,

no face on,
nails chipped.

- I mean, her nails...
- You say nails chipped?

...is on fleek,
honey, okay?

This is a living legend!

Let me tell you
something, Tamar.

If a hair stylist show up

to do your hair
and they don't have no hair,

or the hair is wrong,
I would run.

So I'm back in LA,

and I'm doing a photo shoot
for my new spring fashion line,

and the concept
for this shoot

is fun, flirty,
adventurous

"fabulousnessness."

And, you know,
now that I have

one fashion season
under my belt,

I feel even
more confident

that everybody's gonna
love my new designs.

Thank the Lord
my budget just opened up

to have someone
like Kim Kimble.

Now, Tamar, you know
if you called me,

I would have done it.

- Lies, honey.
- Don't try it.

Lies on top of lies.

Go on, girl.

Ain't got good?

So, Kim,
what made you wanna do, like,
the bang and the big hair

with the dreamy look?

- Well, it went along
with your storyboard.
- Yeah.

With the clothes.
The clothes are beautiful.

This is the romantic,
dreamy--

so I'm gonna give you
romantic, dreamy hair.

And a bang just
gives it that mystery.

- Uh--
- Yes.

That's because
a clip is there.

It's like "Love and War"
on steroids.

-What?
- Yeah.

So, tell me, it's gonna be
a lot of ballads, or--?

Well, you know, it--
it's still about
relationships.

Like, I feel like
I'm the same girl,
but I'm different.

You know what I mean?
Like, I grew up a little bit.

You know what I mean?
Like, I had a baby.

And now, like,
my relationship
is in a different place.

And, you know, like,
it's, like, grown up.
You know what I mean?

Like, "Love and War"
was grown up, but, you know,
you gotta be grown up.

But this is, like--
like, I mean, grown up.

So is this, like,
some grown, sexy music?

- Yes, it is.
- We like "grown, sexy,"
don't we?

It's deep
and it's amazing.

Not too deep,
'cause, you know,

I don't want you to smoke
a blunt and lay back with it,

but I want you to get--
you know, think about things.

Be in your right mind about it.
You know what I mean?

And get your
twerking life on.

- Can I sip a--
- Sip a glass of wine...

Well, I know
I'm gonna be working
on some of these videos,

album packaging.

We gotta start planning
hair and clothes.

Are you sure?!

You gonna become
unbooked for me?
For me?

I do this
for the art, Tamar.

- This is a legend, honey.
- This isn't about the coins.

Kim, there's nothing wrong
with being about your coin.
I'm about mine.

Now, my next album cover
needs to be perfect
in every capacity,

but right now I have to focus
on this flawless photo shoot.

Okay, she's ready.

Okay.

Yeah, there you go.

Hey, chair.

Why don't you put
your legs up there?

- Now my leg's in the tree.
- That looks good.

Got that.

Honestly, I've learned
that being a boss
and a perfectionist

has made my brand
that much better.

Like, the old Tamar,
she wouldn't even

be paying attention
to that much to detail.

But this new Tamar
is on top of the "I"
and the "T," okay?

She is on it.

Look at that.

- What?
- Look at that.

Now, I already
know the press

and all the editors
are gonna be analyzing

every single
detail of these photos
at my launch party,

that, by the way,
is in one week,

So I need my entire
support team to be
on it, okay?

- There, look.
- You know that's nice.

Yes.

- Oh, I'll take me.
- You'll take that? Two?

I need to look flawless
in every picture

and I just really
want to make sure

I get all the shots
that I need in this one day.

So it's gonna be, like,
rainforest-y?

It's very rainforest-y.

So I'm gonna create
more texture in here,

you know,
add a few pieces,

'cause I want it to be
a little bigger.

- Yeah.
- And these two braids.

So what I'm doing is,
I'm doing a fish tail,

then I'm gonna
go back and kind of, like,
open it a little bit,

and make it
a little rougher.

- Yeah.
- So it's not so perfect.

So it's like Tamar
got caught by a tiger.

- Pretty much.
- Oh, my God.
What am I gonna do?

- Like a tiger
styled your hair.
- Yes.

- Tiger style.
- Or I wrestled with one. Ha-ha!

Ooh, that's nice.

Gotta scoot out
just a little bit.

Not that much.
Yeah, okay.

Now, you see how she--
I like her hands kind of
up here a little bit.

- Nice. Get real chill.
- How's her legs?

Just like that.

Bring the hand down--
just over a little bit.

Yeah, there you go.

Move. You still looking
straight that way?

All right, that's hot.
Love it, love it, love it.

Now bring that hand
over on there

so I can still see
that whole outfit.

There you go.

All right, got that.
Couple standing
and we got it.

Nice.

I'm totally beyond
ecstatic about how
this shoot turned out.

Like, these looks
are everything.

This spring line
really came together,

and I'm super proud
to say it's mine.

Now I can't wait
for her to come out.

All right, kids.

So it's... bomb.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

I was so pissed.

I have a-- feeling, okay?
I have feelings.

Your relationship
with your sisters

is obviously
a stressor for you.

Do you want to do
anything about it?

Traci, have a seat.

How you doing?

I'm doing good.
Blessed.

Okay, good, good.

Do you know why,
uh, we're here?

Yeah, um, they want me
to talk about my issues

of, you know, my sisters,

and, um, having support
and things like that.

And the past of me not
getting support all around.

You know? I didn't
get it from my husband.

Felt I didn't get it
from my manager,

didn't get it
from my sisters.

Okay. So what's going on
with your relationship
with your sisters?

Let's talk a little bit
more about that.

I just feel as though
I support them all the time,
all the time,

and when it's time
for my big event,

nobody have time for it,
you know?

Every time I'm performing,
I don't get the support.

Thank you.

Man, I wish at least
one of my sisters
was here tonight.

You did an amazing job.

Oh, my God.
It was like I was on
this roller coaster.

Always stopping
doing what I'm doing

to support everybody else.

And nobody stopped doing
what they're doing
to support me.

I just feel as though
I just need to be supported.

I wanted to let you
have this opportunity

to kind of talk about
what happened in Miami.

Okay.

Um, it was a Saturday.

Um, I-- I just found out
I was receiving

an ambassador award
from UNCF.

I'm thinking I'm gonna
be there that night,

to the masquerade ball,
you know.

I couldn't go to the bar
to accept my award,

because I got a call
from Toni

asking me to be
at her show in Miami.

Uh, no,
I was real crushed.

Believe me, guys,
I was so crushed.

I can't get that back.

And when
I got to Miami,

I sung one song.

"Man Enough for Me."
30 seconds.

That one song?
Really?

You called me from something
that was important for me?

You could have had me
come the next day.

I needed to be where I
was supposed to have been,

to get my award.

That was one of my days.

It's almost like
my son's graduation,

and none of my family
showed up.

I did many of my shows
by myself.

My sisters,
they ain't never showed up.

My album been out,
what, a year?

It's crazy.

I was very angry.
I was so pissed.

I was so-- I was freakin'
crying that whole damn day

when they called me in
to miss my moment.

For a freakin' one song?

- I have a-- feeling, okay?
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I have feelings.
I have feelings.

It seems to me
that your relationship
with your sisters

is obviously
a stressor for you.

What do you
think about that?

First, I was fat.
I was the fat bitch.

I was the fat sister.

I want Traci to lose
20 to 40 pounds now.

And stop thinking
that her tummy sticking out
like that is hot,

'cause it's not.

Really? Wannabe.
Everything else. Really?

I'm tired of being
the wannabe.

I really wanna sing.

That's not my fault that
you not a background singer.

Go up there and doo-wop
and take my part.

I don't give a damn.

Who the hell wants to sing
doo-wop for the rest
of they life?

Then you wanna say
my husband had another--

had a child under--
out of our marriage.

There may be an
illegitimate child involved.

Bitch, what?

Take the test.

Take-- take the test.

Really? Get out of my face
with that bull crap.

Stop trying
to stir up something.

What more? What more?

Traci's trying to succeed.
Really? What more?

Do you want to do
anything about it?

For you, for your success,
for your future.

Right now, you got
your wall right there.

- I don't--
- Point blank period.

- What do you mean?
- You got your wall.

- What wall?
- I'm shutting down.
Yeah.

- Conversation over?
- Done.

I need to tell my sisters
how I exactly feel

and not cover it up,
you know?

I think it's best
just to let it out.

Thank you for your time.

I really want us
to fix this once and for all.

Doing that--
-- that.
