Singer Tamar Braxton is recovering after what she described as a near-death accident over the weekend.
The 48-year-old shared the news on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Aug. 19, revealing she suffered serious injuries and was found unconscious and bleeding by a friend.
“I struggled to write this but everyone keeps calling me and honestly, I can’t even really talk anymore I’m so weak,” Braxton wrote. “I almost died Sunday. I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury.”
Braxton said the aftermath has been difficult. “As the days go by the worse it is,” she explained. “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. I don’t even know what happened to me.”
In the background of her post, Braxton played the worship song Spirit Lead Me by Clavier. She later shared Proverbs 31, a Bible passage about strength, writing: “Thank you God for waking me up today.”
Preparing for Tour Amid Recovery
Despite her health scare, Braxton had recently been preparing for her upcoming tour. Back in March, she posted a video performing her 2013 track Stay and Fight, telling fans, “It is OFFICIALLY tour time! … A whole new set list… and the new music STARTS HERE!!!”
She also shared her commitment to healthier habits ahead of the shows: “Bday is over so no more drinks… No more carbs… all body and VOICE!!!”
Family and Legacy
Braxton returned to TV last year alongside her sisters Toni, Trina, and Towanda, and their mother Evelyn “Miss E” Braxton for the WEtv reality series The Braxtons. The show was created to honor their late sister Traci, who died in 2022 following an esophageal cancer diagnosis.
“The main reason for wanting to do The Braxtons again is because of Traci,” Toni said in a trailer. “She asked us to do this – this was her last wish.”
Season 2 of The Braxtons has already been renewed, continuing the family’s long-running reality TV legacy after Braxton Family Values.
In April, Tamar also honored Traci on what would have been her 54th birthday, sharing a concert clip of fans singing along to Traci’s hit Last Call. “We miss you down here sis!! But I know God didn’t want to see you sick like that so, he brought you home to himself to heal you ❤️,” Tamar wrote.
