The Braxtons’ New Show Is Tackling Difficult Subjects
But while this emotional tribute to Traci tugged at the heartstrings, it’s clear that the show is also gearing up to tackle other tough issues—potentially like the family’s ongoing financial struggles.
At the recent premiere of The Braxtons in Atlanta, Trina Braxton, 49, spoke candidly about how Traci would have wanted the family to continue “moving forward” and “telling her story.”
Towanda, 50, emphasized that this show was created with Traci in mind. “Traci did this. Traci did this. We did this for her. She told us that she wanted us to tell her story. She wanted us to do the show. And this is the first time in history that all the Braxton girls said ‘yes’ so quickly,” she said.
Trina, always quick with a laugh, chimed in, “Immediately!”
The sisters didn’t hold back their emotions, with Trina admitting that stepping back in front of the cameras without Traci was far from easy. “Trepidation might not be the right word,” Trina shared, “But there was definitely some angst going into doing this season. Especially, like I said before, because Traci is missing.”
They made sure Traci’s presence was felt throughout the episode, incorporating never-before-seen footage from personal videos and photos to remind everyone that Traci’s spirit remains very much a part of the family. “Traci is still a Braxton and we cannot lose her Traci-ness,” Trina stated poignantly.
Money Problems: The Next Big Reveal?
The Braxton family’s financial issues have been a subject of speculation and gossip for years. Toni’s public bankruptcies are well-known, and rumors have long swirled about Towanda and Trina facing their own financial difficulties. With the sisters now willing to share the most intimate details of their lives, it’s likely that the show will address these financial problems head-on.
If they’re brave enough to confront the pain of losing Traci on camera, it’s not much of a leap to think they’ll also tackle their monetary woes. The first episode set the stage for honest, no-filter conversations, so fans should keep an eye out for future episodes where the sisters might delve into how they’ve managed—or struggled—to keep their finances in check.
