The Braxtons’ Siblings Reunite in New Trailer and Honor Late Sister Traci

Toni, Trina, Towanda, Tamar and Dr. Evelyn ‘Miss E’ Braxton return on ‘The Braxtons,’ premiering this August on WE tv and ALLBLK.
As the Braxton family’s return to the small screen draws near, WE tv is sharing the first look at their new reality series, The Braxtons.

In the first trailer of the new series, Toni, Trina, Towanda, Tamar and the family’s matriarch, Dr. Evelyn “Miss E” Braxton, tease a bit of what fans can expect from their latest offering. The Braxtons comes three years after the end of Braxton Family Values and two years after the death of the family’s beloved sister, Traci Braxton.

Traci died on March 12, 2022 at age 50 following a battle with esophageal cancer. The late reality star gained a legion of fans as a member of the family’s reality TV show, which became WE tv’s most successful reality TV program when it premiered in 2011.

She released two albums (Crash & Burn, On Earth) under the Soul World and Entertainment One independent music label. Her hit single, “Last Call,” peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The Braxton family has been candid about the toll their time on-camera has taken on them as a family, especially Tamar. The Queens Court alum previously admitted the series took a toll on her mental health.

“I’m a prime example of you don’t have to stay where you are, you can put in a lot of hard work and challenge yourself and really make the decision to wanna be better and do better and I did that,” Tamar told People in 2021. “So, I’m here from where I was from a year and a half, two years ago, just for the next person who feels like there isn’t a light at the end of the tunnel, here I am. There definitely is.”

“This kind of reality television is completely different than having a docuseries about your life that you have absolutely no control over,” Tamar continued. “When people start to paint you out to be something that you’re absolutely not, that can definitely weigh in on your mental health because then you start to question, ‘Well, who am I? What am I doing and what kind of person are people receiving?’ Which in my case was a totally different human than who I really, truly am.”

She added, “So, for a show like this, I get to really show who I am, show a fun side that you’ve probably never seen before. I love to crack jokes and I’ll be a help to other people who are struggling with their mental health and so I’ve been able to help my roommates out a little bit with that.”
