A couple of months ago, Tamar Braxton was rushed to the hospital following her suicide attempt. Now, the 43-year-old singer revealed the reason behind going ahead with the drastic decision in her life. In an interview with Peace of Mind With Taraji, Braxton opened up about her thoughts before attempting suicide.
The actress admitted that her son was the reason. Yes, Braxton thought her seven-year-old son, Logan, might live a better life without her. She noted how she was fooled on television and thought it might be embarrassing for her little one, because of which she started to think that he should deserve better.
Tara P. Henson immediately confronted the actress and asked if she thought her Logan would have lived a better life, while Braxton replied that at that moment, she thought, yes. She went ahead to explain that she knew that this wasn't her whole life that was portrayed on television.
The actress said that she didn't want to embarrass her son in front of his little friends. Moreover, she didn't want to be a loudmouth, ghetto mother. Back in July, the actress was found unresponsive in her own house, Ritz-Carlton Residences in Los Angeles, by her boyfriend, David Adefeso.
At that time, the Los Angeles Police Department revealed that they received a phone call from Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the late evening. The Los Angeles Fire Department also noted that they received a call regarding an unconscious adult woman.
"The call was in regards to a medical emergency, and an individual was transported to the hospital. We don’t know the person’s condition," the police said. However, the upcoming episode of Henson's show is titled Surviving Mental Breakdown With Tamar Braxton, in which the television personality spoke about her suicide attempt in detail, including her mental breakdown.
Braxton admitted that she was at the lowest point in her life. She previously also thought about committing suicide, but she never acted on those thoughts. However, this was the first time she became 100 percent sure about going ahead with the suicide as she already felt not alive anymore.
The actress explained that she was dead inside and felt chock all the time. Moreover, she further explained that she thought it would be difficult to bring back her true identity in front of the viewers as she has been misunderstood already. She was afraid of the stigma attached to her personality of an angry Black lady.
