In reply to Keith.

TV's her main $ source. From it, she self-funds music (that doesn't go platinum enough for her to focus solely on it) in order to generate interest in tours, which recoup music-making expenses and make her larger profit. As for harmful reality TV, Tay knows what she's doing; she had to play up her dramatic antics on the last Braxtons to prove she's earned the cast's biggest check.
