Tamar Braxton has landed on her feet …Boo-yah! to the  haters!

 

Yes, you heard correctly. Girlfriend refused to stay down and out  and you can thank her right hand, that would be husband Vince, and the one and only  Steve Harvey  for  putting  girlfriend back in her namesake  strappy sandals and keeping it moving  upwards, no doubt.

 

 

Braxton who stars alongside sisters  Toni, Traci, Trina and Towanda in the  WeTV reality  television  show,   Braxton Family Values stopped  by  Harvey’s  syndicated  radio program, The Steve Harvey Morning show, heard on WBLS-FM in New York  to update  Harvey  on how she was coping  since being fired as  a co-host  on the Warner Bros  talkshow  The Real .

 

 

 

Braxton set the record straight  about the  firing telling about  how she found out . Keeping her poise Tamar   kept things classy even  speaking well of her former cohosts never once throwing any of them  under the bus for her axing.

 

After  Braxton’s interview Harvey made a huge announcement  to his radio listeners telling  them that  his  newly formed East 112 Productions  has signed Braxton  to produce and star in her own talk show  and other  productions for television.

 

That’s right Ms Tamar Braxton is now  the  host of her OWN  talkshow. Talk about pouring on lemonade without  physically pouring it yourself.

Harvey  told his listeners that  he  found Braxton  to be poised and  classy . “Tamar [She ]has a reach in the millennials  space  that is not out there,” the  host of Little Big Shots stated  of  joining forces  with the  former talk show host.Adding, “she has so much to offer and she showed poise, and class when faced with adversity.”

For Braxton this big step up is huge and well deserved . When   news leaked  a week ago of the  reality star being axed  from The Real  most were shocked. The star,  well she  was, “devastated,” she says.

“I loved going to work and driving myself to work, ” she tells Harvey and listeners of working alongside  Loni Love,  Adrienne Bailon, Jeannie Mai and Tamera Mowry-Housley.

“My heart sunk to my shoes and I pretty much fell over,” she says  when she learned the  news  of her firing from her husband Vince. Adding,  “I did not get a call. I  was in my glam room and came downstair. I saw a look on Vince’s  face . He was distraught and he said to me, ‘I think you got fired.’  I said, fired from what?”

Granted the star and The Real released a joint statement on May 22  stating that the reality star and R&B singer was not returning for a third season in order to  concentrate on  her  solo career per  press reports and  PEOPLE.COM.

 

My heart sunk to my shoes.  I pretty much fell over.- says Tamar Braxton of  learning she was fired from The Real

 

Falls don’t mean you can’t get back up . For the multi-hyphenated  star whose accomplishments include— talkshow host, Grammy-nominated R&B singer, Reality Television star and  Fashion Designer  —staying down was not an option. Nor was it  part of God’s  plan for her.

 

” I feel God is moving in my life more than ever now,” says  Braxton.  “Yes I was devastated  but   I do not feel like my future is not bright. I feel that it is brighter than ever. I did not see this[firing from The Real] is anything negative.”

In fact says the four-time Grammy-nominated  singer, “This whole situation has made me stronger. You have a choice to be positive or negative or to get up and keep it popping.”

The three-time Soul Train Award winner’s outlook on life  and career after the axing she says is   not wallow  in it.Instead she says turn to others  to hold you up.  “I had my sisters and my family to hold on to.” she  says.

Many look at the star,  a 2016 Daytime Emmy  nominee for  The Real as a celebrity and rightly so  but Braxton  tells  Harvey and his listeners, ” I do not see myself as a celebrity.” Well Tamar, I think your fans may  beg to differ on that.

Moving forward  with  friends and loved one in her corner   offers  a little advice to listeners  who may be  dealing  with a job firing, “You have to be positive and push yourself  to move forward .”  Moreso  says Braxton, “You should  speak positivity over your life or you will find yourself in a depression.”

Above all says Braxton, “I will not allow anyone to dim my star .”

Wise words Tamar…..wise words
