Tamar Braxton was found in ‘pool of blood’ and nearly died three days ago

Tamar Braxton has admitted that she nearly died just two days ago after a facial injury that left her missing teeth.

The American singer and TV personality, best known as the founding member of The Braxtons, 48, made the revelation on her Instagram account, telling fans that she is still ‘so weak’.

The post was shared on her story and accompanied by Clavier’s song, Spirit Lead Me, as she explained she didn’t even know what caused the injuries.

‘I struggled to write this but everyone keeps calling me and honestly, I can’t even really talk anymore I’m so weak.

‘I almost died Sunday. I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury.

‘As the days go by the worse it is. I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility. [broken heart emojis] the way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend my mental journey begins… pray for me for real [broken heart emojis]

‘I don’t even know what happened to me [broken heart emojis]  (sic)”

Before the injury, the star had posted a quote reading: ‘Thank you God for waking me up today.’

After the incident, she shared a page from the Bible showing Proverbs 31.

The news comes after Tamar announced earlier this year that she was prioritising her health, with plans to go on tour again.

‘Bday is over so no more drinks…. No more carbs… all body and VOICE!!!” she said. “Me and my brother @octoberlondon and I are going to give you a night you won’t forget❤️😍🍀✨ see ya soon🏆,’ she told followers on Instagram.

In April the singer also marked her late sister’s birthday: ‘Happy Heavenly Birthday beautiful @therealtracibraxton We miss you down here sis!! But I know God didn’t want to see you sick like that so, he brought you home to himself to heal you ❤️ Thank you for being an amazing sister and covering all of us down here🙏🏼✨’

Traci Braxton died in 2022 following a battle with oesophageal cancer at least one year ahead of her death.

In 2020, Tamar was hospitalised after attempting to take her life. She later thanked her boyfriend at the time for saving her life, and he later filed a restraining order against the singer, citing domestic violence.

At present, Tamar is single. She told The Breakfast Club podcast earlier this year that she wasn’t dating at the moment.

”I’m still celibate. Not even a kiss, not a date.

‘I have friends, casual conversation, but I’m not interested. There’s no one that I’ve been interested in.’
