Tamar Braxton is defending her sister Toni Braxton following the circulation of video footage capturing a prayer circle in her dressing room. The video showed ChriseanRock entering the circle, sparking various opinions regarding whether Tamar and Toni Braxton welcomed her into the gathering.
Yesterday we reported – according to TMZ …..Chrisean Rock’s cameo at Tamar Braxton’s L.A. concert seemingly started harmlessly — she joined a pre-show prayer backstage … and yet, violence allegedly broke out later that evening with Chrisean in the middle of it.
James Wright ended up hospitalized after eyewitnesses claim Chrisean bloodied his face with a punch … and a new video obtained by TMZ Hip Hop adds context to why things might have gotten heated.
This is the video:
This is so cringy omg! Interrupting Tamar’s prayer circle, moving the living legend Toni Braxton out of the way, refusing to read everyone’s non-verbal body language and then grabbing Toni anyway?! That girl is not mentally well. pic.twitter.com/HudZN6p5eV

Tamar is now responding to the backlash from that video many claiming the sisters did not appear to want Chrisean in the prayer circle at all.

Then she explained why Toni reacted the way she did and in an effort to stop ‘people from selling further footage’ she also released clips of James Wright’s injuries.

Twitter reaction:
If I were Toni Braxton, I would move the same way in that video, you have to protect your energy and your health, especially if you have lupus. When someone is praying you have to be respectful. No talking, no moving, and no interruptions. Toni doesn’t deserve y’all questioning…

We can acknowledge what someone has been through, show them compassion and still hold them accountable.
You are not entitled to people liking you or tolerating your toxic behavior.
The way people are attacking Toni Braxton for protecting her peace is insane.

One of Tamar’s staff members Keinon Pierre took responsibility for shooting the video apologizing to Tamar after the leak.
