The Braxtons were once the image of soulful sisterhood. From Toni Braxton’s legendary career to the family’s reality TV rise, the Braxton name meant talent, resilience, and unity. But as Season 2 of The Braxtons gets underway—if it even finishes filming—behind-the-scenes chaos is threatening to overshadow the brand that made them famous.
After years of family tension simmering in front of the cameras, sources say it’s finally boiling over, and WE tv producers are scrambling to salvage a season already riddled with walkouts, shutdowns, and explosive drama.
Tamar vs. Everyone—Again?
Let’s start with the obvious: Tamar Braxton is at the center of it all—again.
Fresh off her decision to return to the show (despite vowing she’d never do it again), Tamar’s presence has ignited fresh conflict between the sisters and even halted production. Word is, filming was completely shut down following a wild confrontation involving Tamar and several cast members.
And though Tamar declared she was done with the show after that blowout, she’s still showing up—and still stirring the pot.
Sisterhood on the Brink
Things got even messier when Toni Braxton stormed off set, and Trina was reportedly fuming over Tamar’s decision to bring their niece Ashley onto the show. Ashley’s appearance was seen as a direct provocation, especially since her storyline brings renewed attention to Trina’s controversial ex, Gabe.
Trina didn’t sign up for that, and she’s made it clear she wants no part of that drama.
But here’s the twist: WE tv has already renewed the show for a second season, despite the dysfunction. Cameras will keep rolling, and the sisters have promised to bring back the laughs and focus on “reconnecting as a family.”
We’ll believe it when we see it.
Towanda’s Wedding: Invite-Only, No Phones, No Drama?
One of the major plotlines this season is Towanda’s wedding, but even that joyful event comes with rules: invite-only, no plus-ones, and definitely no cell phones. Sounds like she’s trying to keep things drama-free—but this is the Braxton family.
Good luck with that.
Money Talks—and Sparks New Fights
Another source of friction? The money.
Sources say Toni and Tamar are making six-figure checks, while the rest of the sisters feel like they’re getting scraps. That kind of pay gap is reportedly causing resentment behind the scenes, and some family members are questioning whether it’s even worth staying on the show.
Family First? Not Exactly
Tensions exploded just days before the premiere of Tamar and Evelyn’s cooking show—so badly that none of the sisters showed up. Not a single one.
Even if they were upset with Tamar, skipping out on supporting their mother? That’s cold.
A Social Media Meltdown
And let’s not forget Tamar’s recent meltdown.
A few months back, she completely shut down her social media accounts after blasting her family for being “toxic.” Her posts were filled with pointed jabs and vague accusations. Then, like nothing happened, she reappeared online the next day. Business as usual.
Towanda and Tamar: Still Tense
Their strained relationship has been well-documented, but Tamar and Towanda’s tension is as real as ever. In one on-camera therapy session, it became clear they barely communicate outside of filming.
Towanda admitted she didn’t call Tamar on her birthday. Tamar clapped back, claiming Towanda only reaches out when the cameras are on.
Towanda’s cryptic social media post saying, “To everyone who has distanced themselves from me, kindly stay there,” didn’t help.
Many fans believe that message was aimed squarely at Tamar.
Enter Ashley: The Niece Who Sparked the Fire
The real powder keg this season is Ashley, the Braxtons’ niece. Her decision to appear on the show has brought deep, unresolved trauma to the surface—particularly regarding her relationship with Trina’s ex-husband, Gabe.
Ashley has alleged that years ago, inappropriate messages were exchanged between her and an adult family partner. Her claims suggest a family cover-up.
At first, she says her aunt (whom many assumed to be Tamar) was supportive. But over time, that support evaporated—and Ashley felt blamed.
When fans speculated online that she was referring to Gabe and Trina, Ashley liked the comment.
That alone said a lot.
Gabe’s Alleged Behavior: Disturbing Details Emerge
Ashley’s claims prompted others to come forward. One user alleged Gabe tried to meet their 17-year-old transgender cousin online, offering to fly her out to Atlanta and book a hotel. The conversation was reportedly recorded, and when they tried to alert Trina, she blocked them.
The backlash was swift. People weren’t just disgusted by the allegations—they were furious at Trina’s alleged inaction.
Fans accused her of protecting Gabe despite a history of infidelity, suspicious behavior, and disturbing rumors.
When producers tried to get Trina and Ashley to film a resolution scene, Trina refused, saying: “It’s not my story to tell.”
That moment symbolized everything: a family in crisis, divided over what to reveal, what to protect, and what to deny.
Paycheck Wars and Jealousy
Add money to the mix, and things get uglier.
Toni and Tamar’s hefty paychecks have created a clear divide. Sources claim they’re making significantly more than their sisters—not just for appearing on the show, but for future projects too.
That has reportedly caused frustration among the other siblings, who feel like they’re putting in just as much work for far less reward.
Mama Braxton Speaks Up
Even Mama Evelyn is stepping into the chaos.
She recently dropped a bombshell about Tamar’s ex-husband Vince, saying:
“He’s not who y’all think he is.”
According to Evelyn, the world saw Vince as a supportive, polished man—but behind closed doors, things were very different.
She also made it clear she’s not over her ex-husband Michael Braxton Sr.’s betrayal.
Thirty years after their divorce, Michael Sr. is still apologizing, claiming he’s done all he can. Evelyn, however, is writing a whole book about the affair and her recovery from the heartbreak.
Is Evelyn the Root of the Family’s Dysfunction?
Here’s where things get really interesting.
A growing number of fans online believe Evelyn might be the root of all the dysfunction.
The theory? That the sisters fight with each other because they don’t feel safe confronting their mother. In many dysfunctional families, this is a common dynamic—siblings channel their frustration at each other rather than deal with a deeper parental issue.
Could Evelyn’s controlling or emotionally unavailable behavior be at the heart of the Braxton drama?
It’s a possibility viewers are now seriously considering.
The Real Question: Do They Even Like Each Other?
At this point, fans are asking the hard questions.
Do the Braxton sisters even like each other anymore?
From the outside looking in, it seems like they barely tolerate each other. Some viewers wonder: If they weren’t family, would they even speak?
It’s a sad question—but one that fits the emotional chaos of Season 2.
What’s Next for The Braxtons?
If production can get back on track, Season 2 is going to be a wild ride.
The drama is at an all-time high. Allegiances are shifting. Scandals are being exposed. And the family’s deepest secrets are spilling into the spotlight.
But the big question remains: Can they come back from this?
Or is the Braxton bond permanently broken?
Final Thoughts
As The Braxtons gear up for what may be their most explosive season yet, fans are watching closely to see how—or if—this family can recover.
With allegations, old wounds, money disputes, and generational trauma all coming to light, this isn’t just a reality show.
It’s a reckoning.
So, what do you think?
- Is Trina wrong for staying silent about Gabe?
- Is Tamar the real troublemaker?
- Or is Evelyn the one pulling the strings?
