(EXCLUSIVE) Tamar Braxton: The Real Co-Hosts Blindsided By Firing
theJasmineBRAND.com exclusively reports, co-hosts of the hit daytime show ‘The Real‘ were blindsided by the news that Tamar Braxton would not be returning for another season.
A source tells us:
The co-hosts had no idea that Tamar would be terminated. Quite frankly, they’re devastated. There wasn’t a meeting called. There weren’t even warning signs and they had nothing to do with her firing. They didn’t even know that a statement was being put out.
The show is currently on hiatus until August and sources say the decision was solely on the executive producer of the show.
Another source adds:
The hosts really get along behind-the-scenes and they’re pissed that they were left in the dark about this.
We’re told that each co-host has their own contract, so even if they wanted to band together to prevent this, they couldn’t. Each talent contract differs with their pay, the length of their contract with the show, etc.
So why was Tamar terminated? We’re told that no one outside of Warner Brothers and the EP know why she was let go. We hear that focus groups may be to blame or her relationship with production. There are also reports that Tamar may have been difficult for production to work with.
Sources also tell us that Warner Brothers has not determined if they will attempt to replace Tamar Braxton or if the show will keep its remaining 4 co-hosts.
Tamar Braxton, nor any of the co-hosts have yet to comment. Reportedly, Tamar is no longer following any of the co-hosts on social media. A source tells us that she unfollowed them because she probably doesn’t want to see them posting about the show that just axed her, unfairly.
Anywho, knowing Tamar, we’re sure she’ll land on her feet and continue to soar.
