Tamar Braxton‘s unexpected exit from hit FOX talker ‘The Real’ set in motion some real chatter (that continues to this day) from fans and critics alike.

But, despite taking to their respective social media accounts to shed some light on the situation, the surviving panelists – Jeannie, Tamera, Adrienne, and Lonnie – have said the least regarding their former co-host’s departure.

Until now.

Taking to ExtraTV, the ladies of ‘The Real’ got real with resident host Mario Lopez for their first sit-down interview since Tay-Tay’s ousting.  Tuck in below to hear what they said if you missed it:

Tamar Braxton‘s departure from ‘The Real’ continues to cause ripples that show no signs of cooling or calming.

Yesterday, the singer and media maven used two platforms to break her silence on the firing that rocked social media.

She appeared on the Steve Harvey Morning Show to discuss the matter and reveal that she’d signed a production deal with him to front her own talkshow. She also spoke about her axing on last night’s episode of ‘Braxton Family Values.’

In both instances, she claimed she was blindsided, vaguely hinted at being backstabbed by her co-hosts, and wasn’t the most endorsing of the show’s producers.

Her words have clearly rustled feathers at ‘The Real,’ because we’ve just received a statement from the show and it awaits below…

‘s sudden firing from daytime talker ‘The Real’ sent ripples through social media last week.

In the time since, speculation has run rife about what caused her departure from the show.

Despite the chatter, Braxton herself has maintained a notable silence.

That is all set to change this Thursday on WE tv’s ‘Braxton Family Values.’ For, (smartly), the youngest of the singing sisters will use the show (in which she’s an executive producer) as a platform to air her side of the story.

Watch the newly released teaser for the must-see episode below…

Singer/actress Keke Palmer has seen her name ring around the rumor mill this week as word has it she was in the running to replace Tamar Braxton on FOX’s hit daytime talk show ‘The Real.’

As fans of the show know, Braxton suffered a highly publicized ousting last week (despite the network issuing a statement claiming the decision was mutual).  While the Grammy nominated songstress’s response to the termination is set to air on the next episode of ‘Braxton Family Values,’ the word is FOX is already looking to fill her chair among the show’s hostesses.

The rumor mill may have put Palmer’s name as a frontrunner in the competition, but today she took to Twitter to clear up the confusion:

The reports following the highly reported axing of Tamar Braxton from FOX daytime tak show ‘The Real’ have gotten real ugly on social media.

After wielding an “official statement” on Sunday, the story was sent into overdrive after Braxton’s former assistant took to Twitter to pop all the way off on his take on “the real reason” the singer was let go.  Following his rant, her fans – affectionately christened #Tamartians – went on the attack by slamming her co-hosts Loni Love and Jeannie Mai.

To add to the fury, Love (who recently visited the ‘Wendy Williams Show’), was believed to have known about the ousting before Braxton did.  Well, the comedienne was not exactly in a laughing mood in response to the allegation and took to social media to offer her take on the ongoing drama.

As the age old adage goes, the show must go on and for FOX talker ‘The Real’ that’s exactly what’s happening.

Yesterday brought with it news Tamar Braxton had “mutually agreed” to part ways with the series on which she’d served as an anchor panelist since its 2013 launch.

Word on the curb is that she was fired, but at this junction it’s almost inconsequential. She won’t be back.

Given that the show remains a top priority for its network, it got us wondering: who could be a suitable replacement?

Say what folk will about Tamar, but it’s undeniable that she brought a certain spark that – whether loved or loathed – provoked a reaction.

Here are five names we feel could do the same with their own unique twist…
