In a recent interview with Ebony magazine Tamar Braxton addresses the swirlling rumors surrounding her “lighter skin tone”, her nose job, and a surprising new reveal about her “abusive relationship” [prior to her marriage to hubby Vincent Herbert] which Tamar never discussed prior. As a mother – I can tell you first hand that pregnancy and motherhood has a way of changing a person in more ways than one and.
We all know that Tamar Braxton is surely in a league of her own from her Braxton family. Known for her in your face/tell like it is persona, Tamar shows her vulnerable side in her recent interview. One shocker that drew my attention was Tamar’s open admission about having “Vitilgo” which Tamar says resulted in her skin appearing lighter now than previous years.
Take a listen of the excerpts of the interview below:
On Her Lighter Skin Appearance:
“Anybody with skin issues knows that that’s a very sensitive subject. And that’s why I’ve never shared that I have Vitiligo, because I do. I’ve always had it, since I was a young girl. It’s not as bad as others because everybody has it differently, but I’ve certainly had mine diagnosed. That’s why I tan. People say, “You bleach your skin!” But I tan just so I can have a better tone on my skin, boo!“
“It’s gotten worse since I’ve gotten pregnant. If you shake my hand now, to me it’s more noticeable. But when you get diagnosed with a skin disorder, it’s hard. It does weigh on your self-esteem. It really does.”
Tamar even issued photo ofher childhood years for fans with the caption: “
Although I have NOTHING to prove….I have NOTHING to LIE about!” #donetalkingaboutthebleachB.S. #tamartheone
On Whether She’s Had Plastic Surgery And Or A Nose Job:
“I don’t have plastic surgery. I never had plastic surgery. I had a nose procedure done because I had to. I had no cartilage in my nose, I have a piece of cartilage from my ear put into my nose. I had a medical procedure done. I have no plastic in my nose. And when I shared that with the world, now I have Botox, and different kind of fillers. Now I touch my face, which I never touch my face…Everything is real on me.”
On If She Considered Plastic Surgery:
“After I have my baby, I might can’t say that everything is real on me. I might get my breasts done. Who knows if my breasts gonna go down to my ankles–I can’t do that!”
And Finally, On Her “Alleged’ Abusive Relationship, Tamar says:
“I almost had to tell my story to each individual and then I decided that’s not what I’m going to do. I can’t make anybody believe, I can’t change anybody’s mind about anything. (The abuse,) it happened. I’m not all the way comfortable with sharing a lot of what happened to me (yet), but what I said was true. When I’m ready to talk about my abusive past I will, I’m sorry that I’m not. But if it wasn’t for (God), I wouldn’t be here.”
Tamar made it very clear that hubby Vincent is her “heaven sent angel” saying:
“My husband [Vincent Herbert] definitely doesn’t abuse me,”
