After watching a few episodes of the new reality show "Braxton's Family Values" featuring Toni Braxton and her relationship with her (4) sisters: Tamar, Trina, Towanda, and Traci...all I have to say is Draaaaaaama!
&& if you think I'm exaggerating, let me break it down for you::
The worst one always gets mentioned most, so with that being said, I have to begin with Ms.Tamar, who I like to call "The Spoiled DIVA." She is the youngest of all the daughters (which I can relate to) and is obviously used to things going HER WAY!
She drives all of her sisters crazy because she whines and complains continuously about ONLY being Toni's background singer. She wants desperately to have her own singing career and to end her "do wop" background singing days with Toni. Her husband, Vincent just happens to be Toni’s Manager, along with many other famous R&B stars and she thinks that he should just "make it happen for her", but if you ask me she should be grateful for the many luxuries she already has and accept reality.COM (in her words) that her singing career didn't go anywhere when it was first launched so she just needs to get over herself...But I still like her though :)
Trina, who they like to labeled “The Party Girl,” is being portrayed to have a drinking problem and a troubled marriage. She admits to the fact that her husband cheated on her in the past & that it lead to a lot of her recently changed behavior and weight gain, but she still sees a future with her husband.
She also openly speaks about her sexuality where she claims to be a "Tri-Sexual", meaning she would try anything sexually (at least once) to see if she likes it. In my opinion, I think she may be the realest of them all and she is not afraid to speak her mind.
Towanda, “The Responsible One,” lives with her husband and kids, yet she and her husband date other people.. (She calls it a "marriage of convenience")! *interesting* o_O! It seems that she is sure the relationship is over but they want to present a united front for their children. The rules are no one can bring their date home.
She thinks the reason that her marriage isn't working out is due to the fact that her husband is not willing to be the provider in the household. She is the main bread winner in the family and she is sick of it. She wants her man to "be a man" and he is not stepping up.
Next we have, Miss Traci, “The Whining Wannabe”. Traci used to sing with her sisters,(OVER TEN YEARS AGO), but got pregnant, which prevented her from continuing to tour with them, BUT she is not ready to let go of her dreams of being back onstage. In every scenario that singing is involved, she breaks down:: at rehearsals, performances, etc. She whines about not being able to be Toni's background singer like the other (2) sisters, and Ms. Diva "Tamar" quickly puts her in her place saying "You can have this, being a background singer ain't hot girl". Lol
She is very bitter, in my opinion, and too old to be doing all that crying..I mean you missed the boat when you got pregnant, so please move on ma'am.
And last, but not least Ms. Toni Braxton… “The Superstar.” She seems really chill and laid back and she is VERY different from all of her sisters. Her sister, Tamar likes to call her the "Fun Police" because anytime anyone wants to have fun, Toni seems like she's always the one who wants to stray AWAY from it. She doesn't like to go to any club events or celebrations. She would much rather rest in her room, or read a book. (blaaah)
I mean don't get me wrong, Toni is def my FAVE of them all, but she is def not someone I could hang with. I mean who doesn't want to have fun?! Her idea of fun (reading & sleeping) & mine are just two totally different things. Sorry, girl...I'll just stick to singing your lyrics and buying albums, because we cant hang.
