The last few days have been an absolute circus in Tamar Braxton land.
As previously reported, the GRAMMY-nominated songstress finally broke her silence on Monday (November 13) regarding reports that Chrisean Rock assaulted her longtime friend and backup singer James Wright Chanel at a concert in Los Angeles on Friday (November 10) – sending him to the hospital and rendering him unable to perform.
While he’s kept his followers abreast of updates via live check-ins from the dentist’s office getting his teeth fixed (claiming his face was “tore up”), Tamar’s been tearing it up on social media in response to critics who believe she’s capitalizing on the entire headline-grabbing ordeal for “clout.”
The R&B diva’s main nemesis? ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ star Tommie Lee.
All hell broke loose after Tommie took to social media recently to assert Tamar was using the attention from Chanel and Rock’s altercation as a way to fuel her own recognition.
Once Lee’s comments hit the desk of the ‘Love & War’ hitmaker, the 46-year-old launched a scathing verbal attack in response (as captured by our friends at TNT).
“So now y’all want me to address out of work reality stars? Never,” Braxton started. “Me and my ‘muppet’ employed a** will keep you on the list if I need a none-fighting coke head for $2500 an episode for one of these shows of mine I’m casting for. We not the same Go sell some a** for your next hit.”
Ouch! As if the drug addiction slam wasn’t enough, Tamar continued.
“If you on cocaine and your name starts with a T and [you] never even sold out a bag of blow pops… Stay silent. God bless y’all,” she relayed on her Instagram story.
Later Monday night, the ‘All the Way Home’ singer brought her rant home by suggesting she was tired of all the drama.
“I’m tired y’all. I don’t know about this pt2 tour. We are all hurting and if I didn’t say anything I’m wrong. I said something & I’m lying. I’m tired. Meanwhile James is at the dentist getting new teeth. Y’all leave me alone. I was only trying to show [Chrisean] love. I still think she needs hugs and real people,” she told her 1.7 million followers on Twitter.
Apparently, Rock doesn’t share Tamar’s sentiment.
After taking a brief hiatus from social media over the weekend, the embattled reality star-rapper returned to hit back at Braxton’s claim she was seeking “justice for James” over the reported assault.
“Suck my d-ck,” she said (as seen in the clip captured by HU above). “Go ahead and try to press charges that you can’t press.”
Yikes! As of time reported, no official charges have been brought up against Chrisean.
