“I love my family and I don’t want to fight with my family…Now we’re at the point where it’s assaults and threats,” she told Tamron Hall. “This is not the show that I created. I created the ‘Braxton Family Values’ because I wanted to be an example part of the Black community with five Black amazing sisters, from all different walks of life, who can inspire and help and people can learn from our experiences along the way.

Towanda recently shared similar sentiments during an interview with Hot 103.9, explaining the beloved reality show’s future is unclear as the family is focused on mending their bonds.
“We’re really uncertain at this time,” Towanda admits. “I think our family just needs some healing. It’s been a lot that’s transpired with Braxton Family Values with Tamar attempting suicide, the things that Traci was going through, and then us losing our niece. I think this is the time our family just needs to heal. If it happens, if we move on then we move on. If we don’t we’re fine and we thank everyone for supporting us…”
