EXCLUSIVE: Tamar Braxton's Near-Death Experience Leaves Fans Reeling

In a shocking turn of events, R&B songstress and reality TV star Tamar Braxton has revealed that she came perilously close to death on Sunday. The 48-year-old singer-songwriter and actress took to her Instagram story to share the disturbing news with her devoted followers.

"I'm still trying to process everything that's happened," a visibly shaken Tamar wrote, "but I wanted to let everyone know what's been going on. I almost died on Sunday." The usually effervescent Braxton admitted that she's still struggling to come to terms with the experience, and has been too weak to talk about it until now.

The 48-year-old presenter-singer-actor announced via Instastory: 'I struggled to write this but everyone keeps calling me and honestly, I can't even really talk anymore I'm so weak. I almost died Sunday'

According to sources close to the star, Tamar was discovered lying in a pool of blood by a concerned friend who rushed to her side. It's unclear what exactly triggered this near-death experience, but it's alleged that Braxton suffered severe facial injuries, including a fractured nose and several lost teeth. The extent of her mobility is also currently unknown.

The usually resilient Tamar took to social media to share an emotional update with her fans, thanking them for their love and support during this challenging time. "As my health is on the mend, my mental journey begins," she wrote, referencing a poignant passage from Proverbs 31 about strong women who can overcome even the most daunting obstacles.

But as Tamar embarks on the long road to recovery, fans are left wondering if her scheduled performances will be affected. The singer was due to take the stage at FunkFest in South Fulton, GA on September 27, alongside headliners Trey Songz, Ashanti, Young Dro, Youngbloodz, and Ro James.

The Fashion Nova brand ambassador is also mother to 12-year-old son Logan Vincent Herbert from her eight-year marriage to record executive Vincent Herbert. The couple's high-profile split in 2019 sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, but Tamar has continued to thrive as a solo artist and reality TV star.

With over 70 million records sold worldwide, Braxton is undoubtedly one of the most successful R&B artists of her generation. Her seven Grammy Awards are a testament to her talent and dedication to her craft. However, this latest health scare has left fans worried about the singer's well-being and future plans.

The Braxton family, including Tamar's sisters Trina, Towanda, Toni, and Traci (who sadly passed away from esophageal cancer in 2022), have been pillars of strength for their devoted fan base. The family's reality show, The Braxtons, has provided a glimpse into the lives of these talented women, but its future is currently uncertain.

Braxton lamented: As the days go by, the worse it is. I fractured my nose, lost some teeth, and mobility. The way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend, my mental journey begins. Pray for me for real'

Tamar's own We TV spin-off series, Tamar & Vince, which aired from 2012-2017, gave fans an intimate look at her personal life and relationship with her ex-husband. The singer has also been keeping busy with her day job as host of the investigative relationship series Caught in the Act: Double Life on MTV.

With over 729K monthly listeners on Spotify, Tamar Braxton's music remains a testament to her enduring talent and influence in the entertainment industry. As fans rally around their beloved star, one thing is clear: Tamar Braxton is more than just an artist – she's a survivor.
