YBF INTERVIEW: The Braxtons DISH On Having Classier Fights Than Other Reality Chicks

The Braxtons (sans Tamar who was called away to the hospital to check on hubby Vince) recently chatted it up with TheYBF.com.  They dished on the rumors of jealousy amongst them and how to have a classy catfight.

 

Check out our convo inside....

The fabulous Braxton sisters chopped it up with TheYBF.com recently about Mama Evelyn hitting the dating scene, jealousy among the sisters, how their reality show has impacted the family, and why you won't ever see them tossing a drink.

Being thrust into the public eye wouldn't be easy for most families.  Especially when the world knows all your drama--like the fact Toni makes a point to do her own promo separately.  Hmm....

"Braxton Family Values" made us look at our issues," Towanda revealed to us.  Before the tv show, we used to sweep things under the rug. But now we are forced to address the pink elephant in the room.  We have to talk about what is bothering us and at the end of the day, it’s about love and mending what we have."

 

On often fussing and fighting as sisters:

Traci: We are going to argue, we are going to bicker and we are going to not speak to each other for a few minutes. But tv forces people to ask themselves what would you do? Would you hold a grudge or still love?

Trina: As sisters, we know everything about each other. We know what makes each other tick and how to push each other’s buttons. But we also know how to pick each other up. I think social networking is sometimes bad because people make bad comments and try to stir up negativity between us. Like, they will ask are we jealous of each other. Stop that! We are proud of each and shame on you!

 

On why the sister's are classier and different than other drink tossing hair pulling reality chicks:

Traci:I think it's silly for grown folks to fight and throw drinks. What kind of role model are you setting when you do that? You should not need Bengay after an argument. You must be an example.

Towanda: We don’t fight. We don’t throw drinks or pull hair. Our parents taught us to use our words.  It’s too much when grown women fist fight! You are grown! What happens after you scuffle? Your hair is messed up, your makeup is smeared and you’re not cute anymore.

Trina: I think reality tv goes to far when people discuss bedroom activities. Bedrooms and bathrooms are off limits!

 

Traci on seeming displaced last season

Traci: I felt a little out of place. This season you will see why I didn’t sing with my sisters and my other career goals. I was a beauty school drop out twice. But you have to live your own life…can’t focus on other people.

 

On their parent’s divorce

Trina: It’s really difficult to not have that family home. But we have the love of both of our parents and we look forward to spending time with them over the holidaysBut my mom is dating now. She still got her “hey hey what what. I want her to get with someone who takes her out on trips and will spoil her.

 

On how their show is different than other reality shows

Towanda: I don’t feel like it’s a competition. Our show is different because it's based on family and values. We don’t fight. We don’t throw drinks or pull hair. Our parents taught us to use our words.

Towanda: Sometimes we may need a moment when harsh words are used. Like, I don’t always agree with what Tamar says, but it’s about her delivery. Words hurt. For us, it’s about taking that moment and then coming back and saying, 'I didn’t appreciate what you said and how you said it'."

 

On what they want out of life for each other:

Trina: For my mom, I hope she finds a sugar daddy.  For Toni, I hope she finds peace within a judgmental media. Traci, I hope “The Braxtons” album happens for her.  I hope Towanda gets back with (husband) Andre.  Tamar, I hope that she closes her mouth!

TraciI want my mom to stay young and beautiful.  I want Toni to stay successful and prosper in everything in life.  For myself, I want to stay young, beautiful and sexy.  I hope Towanda has happiness.  I hope Trina becomes a 12-time Grammy winner.  I want Tamar to have silence!  Love you!

Towanda: For my mom, I hope she wins the $350 Mega Millions.  Toni, I want her to be as successful as she ever was. Traci, I hope she opens her own beauty salon.  For me, I hope to receive an Oscar!  Trina, I want Trina to be successful as a singer.  And I hope Tamar has a daughter just like herself!

Tamar would probably love a smart-mouthed mini-me!  Tune in tomorrow for our exclusive with Tamar Braxton as she dishes up relationship advice for her sisters and her take on what really went down on tonight's premiere.

Season 2 of "Braxton Family Values" airs tonight (Thursday) at 9ET on WeTV.

The braxton is the best

The braxton is the best family reality show on TV. I don't know what I was thinking watching the FAKE kardashian. I'm glad I found their show, now i'm so hooked. I love Mama Braxton. Tamar is funny, and vince is cool. Trina needs to work on her marriage before the man leaves her. I hope they blow up and become a great success.

I love the show as well, got hooked last season. I encourage you to watch the first season, if you haven't. Trina's husband can go the hell on, with his cheating ass. His own guilt is what's taking him down to the studio and checking up on her. He is a huge jerk, IMO. She could do so much better.

I absolutely LOVE the show! I

I absolutely LOVE the show! I hope the producers don't push to make this show about a family that only fights. I watched season 2's first episode and I still can't figure out why Mother Braxton was going off on Tamar the way she did. The other sister is pursuing her singing career with a LIVE band that's seemingly causing a problem for her marriage (Mama aint said a word.) To me, it looked like they were trying to make something 'pop' off when there wasn't really anything there. Tamar wasn't being disrespectful to her (watch the Kardashians, they're disrespectful!) I think it's great for them to take advantage of the spotlight and if anything, I sense a little jealousy on Toni's part (she's always been the star) it's natural for her to be a little defensive about having to share the spotlight. Tamar, all I can do is smile and laugh, she's a true personality and I love how Vince handles her.

What Tamar did that

What Tamar did that disrepected her mom was walk off when her mom was speaking to her...Mamma Braxton reminds me on my mom because no matter if she is wrong or right, you better sit and listen to what she has to say and not interrupt her. I respect that and Tamar knew that her mom was serious when she threaten to slap her. You dont do that to an old school black mom. You will get hurt believe that. Thats whats wrong with kids today because they wants to talk and say everything when they need discipline to learn that in life you will not be able to speak even when spoken too!

I love me some Braxtons! There are sooo many reality shows out there that portray black people (especially black women) in a negative way (Basketball Wives, Love & Hip Hop, Real Housewives of Atlanta...the list goes on and on). We don't all punch, scratch, kick, throw drinks, curse, or resort to other hood-rat ghetto behavior to express ourselves. We need more shows like Braxton Family Values on TV.

I love this show. No fake or being phony. They are so real, honest in a loving way. I have four sisters, and I see us in them. We argue, disagree and say funny/embarrasing things about one another. Yes, I like their way of handling things. They are all beautiful especially Trina and Toni. Mama Braxton is looking good too. I'm tuning in to watch the new season.

Beautiful, classy, inspiring

Beautiful, classy, inspiring family, but they are NOT DIFFERENT from others in regards to "having the right answer" for the cameras. Most people (celeb and regular) want to seem dignified to outsiders (Shaunie Oneal for example) and I think the "classier fighting" section is an example of just "saying the right/dignified" thing for the interviewer. Trina saying bedroom activities aren't for tv- UM, did she not hear and see herself on season one, she talked about bedroom activity and experimenting. Traci saying they were taught to use their words-Um, they use the silent treatment method or walk-out the room, I saw the show. Classy family yes, but they do some hood and childish stuff. Thinking it's tacky to fight-Yeah, most sane people say that and they TRY to live it, but in the heat of the moment sometimes things go wrong, BS that none of these sharp tongue Braxton women haven't been in a fight or damn close to being in one-maybe they walked away,and good for them, but stop fronting for the interviewer like you're on some high-class argument solving level-Every last one of these Braxtons, mama too, have shown they can get a little hood when angry. Beautiful Family tho'

Toni filed for bankruptcy the

Toni filed for bankruptcy the first time because her contracts with the record wasnt really paying her and she was young and naive. She filed the second time because she couldnt pay off the bills that was left over from the first go around. If you watch the show you will see that she is renting the house not buying!
Dana's picture

No, Toni filed for bankruptcy

No, Toni filed for bankruptcy the second time because she fell ill during her vegas tour. She ended up having to pay for her Vegas venue when she thought insurance covered it but it did not since she fell ill during the show. It is kinda irresponsible for her to go on ahead and continue her lavish lifestyle despite the fact of a bankruptcy. Even Traci said damn if you can get this after filing for broke sign me up! Toni will not scale down because she feels she deserves that lifestyle. I do hope the best will come out this time but damn..I want to cry broke and rent a mansion too.
