Tragic Details About Tamar Braxton
Tamar Braxton tragically attempted suicide in July 2020. TMZ reported emergency services were called to a hotel in downtown Los Angeles where Braxton was staying with her then-boyfriend, David Adefeso, who found her unconscious and suggested she may have suffered an overdose. After a hospital stint, Braxton recovered well from the terrifying ordeal and has spoken openly about the dark period in her life.
She first addressed her suicide attempt on Instagram in late July 2020 when shared a photo of herself and her son, Logan. In part, she wrote that her attempt to take her own life came after she felt like she was "betrayed, taken advantage of, overworked, and underpaid" as she shared she "felt like I was no longer living, I was existing for the purpose of a corporations gain and ratings, and that killed me."
Braxton also spoke candidly during an October 2020 appearance on the Tamron Hall Show. "Our household became very hard, and it was hard because I wasn't happy at my job, and I hadn't been happy for years," she said. Braxton added she was also having difficulties with We TV, the network that aired Braxton Family Values. "I told them that if I continued like this, I want to die, I want to kill myself, I can't breathe," she claimed, "And I got a response that says, 'You're being dramatic.'" In a statement, We TV said its "first concern is for her recovery and well-being" (via Variety).
