In the heartbreaking clip, Braxton, 43 explains, “Logan was the reason why I made that decision. I just felt like he deserved better. I felt like I was embarrassing him, being a fool on TV.” “You thought he would be better without you?” host Taraji P. Henson asked, with Braxton replying, “I thought in that moment.”
The singer went on to tearfully explain, “Because I knew that’s not what my whole life really was. That’s not who I was. I didn’t want him to be embarrassed in front of his friends,” Braxton adds. “Here is this loudmouth ghetto mama.”
As we previously reported, the Braxton Family Values star was found unresponsive on July 16 at the Ritz-Carlton Residences in downtown Los Angeles. Braxton was then transferred to a local hospital facility to receive more specialized mental health treatment. She previously said she had contemplated suicide long before her attempt this year. However, her famous sisters have admitted they had no idea what Tamar was going through in her private life.
In the rest of Henson’s upcoming episode, titled “Surviving Mental Breakdown With Tamar Braxton,” Tamar continues to open up about her suicide attempt and mental breakdown.
