Braxton told fans she struggled to even write the message because of her condition.

“I almost died Sunday. I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury,” she wrote. “I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility. I don’t even know what happened to me.”

The Braxton Family Values star added that she can “hardly talk anymore” and described her current state as both physically and mentally draining.

So far, Braxton has not disclosed the cause of the accident. In her message, she admitted she has no memory of what took place. Entertainment outlets including AP News and People Magazine reported that her team has not yet released further details.

Her revelation comes just weeks after she performed at the 2025 ESSENCE Festival of Culture in New Orleans and continued preparing for her ongoing U.S. tour. The injuries now raise concerns about whether her upcoming shows will proceed as planned.

Family and Career Context

Tamar Braxton first rose to fame alongside her sisters — Toni, Trina, Towanda, and the late Traci Braxton — on the hit WEtv reality series Braxton Family Values. The family returned to television last year with The Braxtons, dedicated to honoring Traci, who died in 2022 from esophageal cancer.

Toni Braxton previously said the new show was her sister’s “last wish.” Evelyn “Miss E” Braxton, their mother, added that the project was a way to carry forward Traci’s legacy.

Beyond television, Tamar has built a successful solo music career with hits such as Love and War. She also appeared in scripted dramas, most recently Kingdom Business.
