Evelyn Braxton is "prepared to stand by Tamar's side" following daughter's revelation that she was molested as a child
Tamar Braxton revealed on 'The Wendy Williams Show' about being sexually molested by some family members and it was quite a surprise for her mother. Evelyn Braxton, her mother, confessed that she was both disappointed and upset upon hearing what her daughter had to go through. The 41-year-old singer had earlier opened up about her experience as a victim of sexual abuse during an in-depth interview on the show.
Speaking to Williams, Tamar had said that there were a lot of things happening in her childhood that she was embarrassed to talk about. However, she mentioned, "but the truth of the matter is that you know, I have been molested. By both sides of my family." Tamar also spoke about her feud with the television personality, Iyanla Vanzant- the host of 'Iyanla Fix My Life'- and said that it was during that time when she began speaking about things that she hadn't spoken before. "It’s nothing I’ve ever talked about, and I never thought that I would sit around the table with Iyanla Vanzant, who’s here to talk about me and my sisters and their problems, and to bring that up and sex shames me basically in front of everybody. That’s why I got up and walked out.”
