Hey everyone, welcome. Tamar Braxton recently stood up for her ex-boyfriend, David Adefesso, following criticisms from her sisters Tony Braxton and Tawanda. To give you a quick rundown, Tamar and David parted ways after a turbulent incident.
Here’s the backstory: David took to Instagram Live, recounting an altercation that occurred while he was driving Tamar to seek treatment. It all stemmed from Tamar’s frustration over David sharing a video of her son without her consent, sparking a heated argument that escalated into a physical confrontation, according to David. He asserted that Tamar initiated the attack and caused significant damage to his car, prompting him to obtain a restraining order against her. However, Tamar countered, alleging that David threatened her life during the drive, presenting evidence of injuries she purportedly sustained from him.
Despite their seemingly harmonious public image, cracks surfaced when Tamar’s reality show “Get Your Life” aired, revealing a less flattering portrayal of their relationship. The strain caused by the show reportedly contributed to Tamar’s mental health deterioration, resulting in her hospitalization. It’s been a messy ordeal, prompting some of the Braxton sisters to break their silence on the matter.
Tony Braxton recently took to social media to call out David, expressing her frustration: “David, you weasel, you ferret, you are beyond contempt. Once again, do not include my children in your shenanigans. Please leave my family alone.” This public outcry raised eyebrows, prompting questions about David’s actions. It’s unusual for Tony to speak out like this unless something serious is afoot. Tamar’s sister, Tawanda, echoed Tony’s sentiments during an Instagram live session:
“Tony is okay. She’s just really pissed off, David, as we all are. We don’t appreciate or condone the way he’s handling the situation. It’s deeper than you guys can imagine. Y’all only know the surface of it. For Tony to speak up and post on social media, which she never does, indicates that he’s gone too far. You don’t involve the children, no matter what disagreements arise. David crossed that line.”
The frustration was palpable, with someone even asking for David’s address to be shared. While that wasn’t possible, the sentiment was clear: David’s behavior was unacceptable. Tony’s choice of words, labeling him a “loser boy from the root of the Tudor,” underscored her disdain. She’s typically private, so her public condemnation speaks volumes. As conversations swirled, concern for Logan, presumably a family member, was mentioned, urging prayers for his well-being. Amidst it all, Tony’s persistent calls added to the urgency for action.
So, Tawanda and her boyfriend shared their thoughts on the situation. Interestingly, Tamar seemed to support David after her sisters spoke out against him. She took to Twitter to address the matter:
“Today has been intense, and I want to clear some things up. I truly appreciate my family speaking up for me suddenly. It means a lot. It’s common for families to take sides during a breakup and have negative things to say. I don’t condone what David said on his livestream. However, I feel compelled to say our relationship wasn’t all bad. David was a great partner and stepdad to Logan. He wasn’t seeking fame; he appeared on TV because I asked him to. Despite the criticism, he stood by me during a traumatic summer when others didn’t. I haven’t spoken to him since August 30th. This isn’t about reconciling; it’s about doing what’s right. I understand the backlash, but there’s another side to this story. I just want to heal privately and share my story in my own time.”
Tamar’s defense of David might seem contradictory given her previous statements about him mistreating her. She once accused him of seeking fame, lying about her, and being physically aggressive, which likely influenced her family’s stance. So, her sudden support for David may be tied to legal considerations.
According to The Blast, David reached out to the police to deliver legal documents to Tamar. A source close to David indicated that he suggested checking Tamar’s ex-husband Vince Herbert’s residence to locate her. However, the police disregarded his advice and instead went to Tony Braxton’s home, reportedly leading to Tony’s frustration with David, which she expressed on social media. It’s likely that Tony confronted David around the time of the police visit. I can empathize with Tony’s feelings of frustration; even if David claims he didn’t intend for the police to go to her house, it’s understandable why Tony would be upset if she wasn’t informed beforehand. Tony is fiercely protective of her two sons and understandably uneasy about police inquiries or unexpected visits to her home. She wants no part in the drama between Tamar and David, so her reaction was justified.
According to The Shade Room, it seems David reached out to Tony, and his representative purportedly shared alleged text messages exchanged between them. In these messages, Tony expressed concern about officials visiting her home to serve papers and questioned if David was behind it. She also lamented the escalation of their situation. David responded by expressing respect for Tony but warned her about the ongoing investigation. Tony, in turn, emphasized the privacy of her personal life and home.
It’s worth noting that only Tony’s messages were made public, not David’s, possibly reflecting an attempt by David’s representatives to improve his public image after Tony’s public accusations. Allegedly, David directed the police to serve Tamar papers at Vince’s house, suspecting she might be there. Tamar’s avoidance of the situation suggests she wants it to dissipate. She defended David, likely to prevent her family from exacerbating the conflict. However, both Tamar and David bear responsibility for the turmoil they’ve created and involving others.
Moving forward, I hope for the best for Tamar’s mental health and that their personal affairs won’t dominate “Braxton Family Values” excessively in the upcoming season.
