Nationwide — Toni Braxton recently found herself blocked by her sister, Tamar Braxton, on Instagram once again. The incident happened on March 17th, as Toni attempted to share a birthday tribute to Tamar but was unable to do so.
This is not the first time the sisters’ tension has gone public. Their complicated relationship has been on display for years through their reality shows Braxton Family Values and The Braxtons. Their strained relationship has often been fueled by personal and professional struggles, including when Tamar was dropped from Toni’s 2018 tour amid her messy divorce from Vincent Herbert.
Although the reason behind this latest block is unclear, Tamar later responded to the situation, commenting on a blog post with, “Or you could have called #gaslighting.” Her comment suggested she felt Toni’s public gesture was manipulative rather than sincere, according to Eurweb.
Reactions from fans were mixed. Some found humor in the situation, while others criticized Toni for making their issues public, especially considering Tamar’s mental health struggles. Some speculated that the block may be linked to unresolved professional tensions, such as a possible duet that never happened. Many fans agreed that private communication would have been a better way to handle the situation.
