“It was only God’s grace and his mercy on my attempt to end my pain and my life that I am here to utilize my voice,” she said in her social media statement.
“I wrote a letter over 2 months ago asking to be freed from what I believed was excessive and unfair,” Braxton said, referencing a missive she reportedly sent to WeTV executives. “I explained in personal detail the demise I was experiencing. My cry for help went totally ignored. However the demands persisted.”She said that although she strived to be a good mother, daughter, partner, sister and person, the only thing that mattered was how she was portrayed on television.
Braxton lamented the lack of a union or formal representation to protect those who appear on reality TV. Executives “promise us opportunity but produce exploitation, which has only developed a poor portrayal of black people in show business,” she said.

It can happen to anyone. Depression and trauma. Praying for her and all who suffer.DepressionIsReal

Tamar Braxton Calls Out ‘Exploitation of Reality TV’ in First Statement Since Her HospitalizationTamar Braxton has called out what she describes as the “systemic bondage” of reality television in her first post since being hospitalized following an attempt to take her own life. Bra… Fry station at McDonalds. Very little exploitation. Don’t need a makeup or wardrobe assistant. If she thinks it's bad, she should try being one of the editorial interns transcribing 12 hours of footage a day. People become products and are used & left to deal with their demons after their time is up on the screen. It’s happened time and time again. The reality tv concept makes it easier to exploit those looking for exposure.
