“Hey everyone, welcome to this fantastic channel! Recently, singer Tamar Braxton and TV host Claudia Jordan had an interesting chat on Claudia’s show on Fox Seoul. Now, if you’re not up to speed on the backstory, back in 2012, Tamar and Claudia had some clashes. They both co-hosted the short-lived talk show ‘Tiny Tonight’, and things got a bit tense between them during that time.
Claudia and Trina, what’s the ideal date for you? Well, for a first date, I’m pretty simple. I’m not really into extravagant gestures. I prefer getting to know someone, so a relaxed dinner with lots of conversation sounds perfect. Maybe followed by a fun activity like bowling, where I can see how you handle competition. Are you a good sport? I like to keep things light and enjoyable, especially on a first date. You don’t want too much pressure, right? Even though we’re married, part of the reason for marriage is setting standards. You can’t settle for just anything. So, if someone wants to date you, they need to meet those standards.
If you can’t make me feel special, maybe you’re not ready to date me. Focus on yourself and work on reaching the financial standard you expect from your partner. It’s about putting in the effort to make things special. I’ll need you to go above and beyond to impress me.”
When observers witnessed the exchange, they perceived Tamar as overreacting and being sharp with Claudia without provocation. Matters worsened when Tamar took to Twitter to throw shade at Claudia, remarking, “Always the chick with gnome and Oh, get your life.” A bystander commented, “Tamar didn’t have to read Claudia like that,” finding humor in the situation. Tamar retorted, “Yes, I did. She was wrong for that.”
In response, Claudia asserted, “A true professional can roll with the punches. The workplace is no place for personal hang-ups. If you don’t like me, that’s your problem. Anyone can have a man, not everyone can have true love, self-respect, make their own way, and sleep well at night.” She also clarified, “Yeah, I’m not on that gold digger stuff. I love people, not things.”
Later, Claudia addressed the spat during an appearance on ‘The Breakfast Club,’ recounting her interaction with Tamar. Initially, Tamar complimented her flawless skin during rehearsal, but their dynamic shifted drastically by the second day. There was speculation that Tamar felt Claudia implied she was a gold digger. Claudia defended herself, expressing that her stance against such insinuations stemmed from a desire for authenticity, not materialism.
The feud between Tamar and Claudia seemed to reach a resolution when they recently reconciled. Tamar disclosed that her initial irritation with Claudia stemmed from Claudia’s negative remarks about Omarosa behind the scenes.
Tamar and Omarosa shared a cordial relationship as neighbors, though they weren’t particularly close friends. Tamar empathized with Omarosa during a tough period following the loss of her fiancé, Michael Clarke Duncan. She felt upset when Claudia spoke negatively about Omarosa.
My perspective on Omarosa shifted during a conversation about her. I recalled the time when Omarosa’s fiancé passed away, and our acquaintance grew when we bumped into her and her former partner at a restaurant. Shortly after, he suffered a heart attack and passed away. Before his death, Omarosa reached out to me for advice, remembering when my ex-husband was critically ill. She was grappling with difficult questions about family and caregiving, seeking guidance from someone who had faced similar challenges. Her outreach meant a lot to me, as it highlighted the shared experiences of women in such situations.
My perception of Omarosa changed because of this shared experience, despite not knowing her for an extended period. When I heard negative comments about her, I reacted strongly, feeling it was unfair judgment considering the hardships she had endured. Dealing with the loss of a spouse, navigating life’s complexities, and managing medical responsibilities is incredibly tough. I found it insensitive and decided to distance myself. Looking back, I recognize that my reaction was influenced by raw emotions, and as a more mature individual now, I would handle it differently.
So, the explanation for Tamar’s feelings toward Claudia stemmed from her discomfort with Claudia discussing Omarosa, particularly during Omarosa’s difficult time. Consequently, Tamar began acting petty toward Claudia without directly addressing her concerns.
On the other hand, Claudia had her own reasons for disliking Omarosa. They were once on good terms, even appearing together on ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ and Claudia was close to Omarosa’s late fiancé, Michael Clarke Duncan. Claudia felt disturbed by Omarosa’s behavior following Michael Clarke’s passing, which she candidly discussed during an interview with Wendy Williams.
Claudia found it hypocritical for Omarosa to criticize her tribute to Michael, considering Omarosa’s behavior at the funeral. While Claudia honored her friend, Omarosa was reportedly focused on press and makeup touch-ups, even boasting about her access to Michael’s charity funds. Claudia was puzzled by Omarosa’s fixation on money rather than expressing genuine grief for her late fiancé.
So, Claudia doubted Omarosa’s sincerity, feeling Omarosa didn’t truly care about Michael when he passed away. Their rift escalated after Claudia’s interview with Wendy, intensifying their feud. Claudia encountered Omarosa and her mother at the BET Awards, where Omarosa’s mother even physically confronted her. Omarosa passed by, dismissively remarking “Stupid,” adding to the tension. This incident, occurring while they were both clad in gowns, further fueled Claudia’s dislike for Omarosa.
Another factor contributing to Claudia’s animosity was Omarosa’s perceived lack of genuineness, especially regarding Michael Clarke’s death. Michael’s family shared Claudia’s sentiment, feeling Omarosa manipulated him and was only interested in his wealth. They reached out to Claudia to voice their concerns, deepening her distrust of Omarosa.
Tamar offered a different perspective on Omarosa during her interview with Claudia on ‘Out Loud With Claudia’. Tamar emphasized that people grieve in various ways, cautioning against judgment based on appearances. Tamar herself faced criticism for her reaction to her niece’s tragic passing, drawing backlash after revealing she felt too emotionally drained to attend the funeral. This incident highlighted the differing perceptions of grief and the scrutiny individuals face during times of loss.
I just can’t bring myself to share anything about my niece right now. The emotions are too overwhelming. I know my family might be upset with me, but honestly, dealing with the recent events has been incredibly tough. Losing someone close for the first time hits differently, and nobody prepares you for the pain. It’s like you’re left to navigate this deep sorrow on your own. Attending the funeral drained me completely.
Tamar went through the motions, attending her niece’s funeral, but faced criticism for her grieving process. In an interview with Claudia, she explained how she and Omarosa might have been experiencing similar struggles in processing their grief. It’s hard to judge someone else’s emotions when we don’t fully understand what they’re going through.
After their conversation, Tamar and Claudia reconciled their differences. They acknowledged past conflicts on social media and recognized their growth since then. Claudia extended an olive branch, expressing a desire to move forward and reintroduce herself to Tamar without any outside influences dictating their interaction.
Seeing Tamar and Claudia mend fences serves as a reminder of the importance of forgiveness and letting go of grudges. It’s a positive example of prioritizing reconciliation over holding onto unnecessary negativity. Let me know your thoughts on this situation in the comments below.
