Tamar Braxton Apologizes To Sisters & ‘The Real’ + Her Boyfriend Says When They Met She Was “Almost Completely Broken”

Tamar Braxton’s Boyfriend, David Adefeso, Talks Loving Her While She Was ‘Almost Completely Broken,’ Estranged From Her Family, She Apologizes To Sisters And ‘The Real’

Tamar Braxton has made a major move. Just moments after her boyfriend, David Adefeso, declared his love for her in a special way, she took to her own social media to apologize to those that she has hurt. Fans have seen her drama with her sisters on Braxton Family Values. She also apologized to the women of The Real, a show she was a host on before getting fired after two seasons.

Braxton wrote Monday,

“When all u know and felt is hurt. You hurt. Self inflicted and to others are included. From my sisters, the ladies of the real, Iyanla, old and new Friends and whomever else I’ve EVER hurt, from being hurt. Please forgive me. I didn’t know love to show you love. Now I do thanks to my @david.adefeso ?”

Her message came after Adefeso posted a lengthy note about how he and Braxton started dating when she was in a pretty bad place. She wasn’t speaking to her family and had previously been let go from daytime talk show The Real. He explained in the caption how he discovered Braxton had pain that was deeper than even she understood, and how he was able to love her through it all.

“When I met my @tamarbraxton 12 months ago she was angry, distraught and almost-completely broken. She’d lost her family, her friends, her job and was estranged from her mom and sisters who she loves so much. While her behavior was a significant cause of these misfortunes, it took me a while to recognize that there were other equally valid causes, including being repeatedly assaulted by men in her life she trusted (first physically as a child, then emotionally later on in life by deeply aggressive and utterly controlling romantic relationships); finally culminating in the continuing psychological damage brought on by working on a TV show she feels utterly shackled to due to contract terms.”

“This is what I inherited so I had a choice: to continue the emotional and psychological abuse she had endured for almost 3 decades by being aggressively controlling and manipulative or to be a kind, gentle and loving friend and lover to the woman I love- Well, I chose the latter, and the results have been outstanding!”

He then said that all is well between him and Braxton that they live an amazing life. He added how vital it is for Black men to defend and protect Black women.

“With few exceptions the anger has been replaced by joy, the despair has morphed into a need to help the abused (check out #NoNeedTBShame), and the kind, gentle, beautiful and self-assured woman that is my @tamarbraxton is now on full display (check out our social media activities over the past 3 months since the show was shot and see the new Tamar)! A word to our strong black men who are in relationships with our beautiful black women- when you make a commitment to love that sista, it is your duty and responsibility to STAND BY YOUR WOMAN. PERIOD! Irrespective of wealth, power or fame, many of our women have endured the same challenges that my Tamar has, including physical and emotional abuse, endemic marginalization, controlling romantic relationships and desertion by black men. Some of what many have condescendingly coined as #AngryBlackWoman is simply a reflection of, and reaction to, the life experiences of our beautiful black women. So gentlemen, we DO NOT abandon our sistas when things get tough, and especially when they need us the most. We love them through it, we support them through it, and we protect them through it! #BlackMenStandUpForBlackWomen“

Braxton commented and thanked Adefeso for being a part of her healing process.

“My David. There are no words. Just like the day we met. I’m completely speechless. I’m at our home waiting for you to walk through the door to greet MY KING the way her Queen should. I’ve never known a man to love me AND my scars!! I’ve never even heard of that before. I appreciate your Patience as I continue to work on myself To be better not only for myself and beans but for YOU!! You are worth leaving my painful, self righteous, self absorbed, attention seeking, sometimes Pathetic past behind. Which is hard because pain, having it or causing it has become comfortable because I only knew the pain. Now I know true love and I’m working really hard to replace that painful “fulfillment” with your unconditional Love and support. There is no way that I would EVER lose you because I’m too busy STUCK in being me!! U have helped change me for the better and see things from other people’s perspective. Only a TRUE man of God and who is sent BY God could love a pile of mess because he only sees a pile of Gold. I love you with my entire heart. And because you won’t give up on me. I won’t either? -your Tamar??”

What are your thoughts on Tamar’s apologies?
