This makes a lot of sense. Daytime TV attracts a lot of grown women. Housewives, etc. Not too many gay men are really sitting down to watch daytime TV unless its a clip afterward on Youtube. They're out somewhere working or meeting someone off of Jack'd.

But at the same time they knew who Tamar was personality wise before she came on to do this. She hasn't changed one bit. I feel that now that the show actually has footing and is gaining loyal viewers, she's getting kicked to the curb. That's fucked up tbh. But this goes to show that sometimes your likability can make a big difference.

I think if she was more likable and open-minded they could have worked with her and maybe tweaked it a bit so she'd find more balance. But she seems hard headed, and it costed her the job. She became a liability instead of an asset. And that's the last thing you ever want to do.

Warner Bros. wanted to work out an exit agreement with Tamar that wouldn?t make viewers aware she was being fired. Despite wanting to free themselves of her, they wanted the transition to take place smoothly.

?Before they could hammer out a joint statement and an agreement that was good for both parties, she posted a cryptic message about betrayal and an unnamed person who she feels ?stabbed? her ?in the back? after she ?stupidly trusted? on Instagram.

?It?s that type of impulsive behavior and lack of self control that is why she is off the show,? the source said.


Wow. Well there you have it folks.
She's a mess.

Now THIS part, Tamar is a damn FOOL for. But hey, she's bringing attention to the show. EVERYONE is talking about it. I mean, look at the entire first page on BSource? lol.

She has mental issues I think and the girls know that.

No shade.
Aren't u a stan of hers?  ^o)

What does me being a fan have to do with being honest and thinking something? If you think I'm one of those ass kissing fans you have the wrong one.

I lash all my favs.


Oh I've never seen u drag her before really. that's all i meant

?The research went on to say that most educated and working women found her to be ?ghetto? and that her aggressive eye-rolling, neck-rolling and the smacking of her mouth were indicative of ?stereotypical behavior that African American women have worked years to overcome,? the source continued.

Oh wow. This one sucks. Cause SMART people know that not all black women behave that way. But ignorant non-black people would feed into that.

But there's 3 black women on the panel...And they're all different. Tamera and Tamar are the extreme opposites and they have the best chemistry out of all the girls.

I agree. It's a shame they can't showcase the diversity of that.
This would all be easier to defend if Tamar's behavior wasn't so disgusting to begin with.

And it almost seemed like Tamar was a walking parody of black female stereotypes.
Sometimes she purposely was extra extra extra. I think she thought it was cute, fun and edgy
her "niche" even.
but it ended up costing her the job.

Sometimes its cool to just chill out a bit, be yourself and don't try so hard.
if you're naturally "ghetto" people will see that regardless without you putting an exclamation point next to it.

and I'm sure the people on her payroll amped up her nonsense

Idk why Tamar insists on having this ratchet persona, when her mother clearly didn't raise her like that.

Guys, I think they're gonna replace Tamar with a Becky.

Ghetto? Really, is that why she was fired?

If each girl is supposed to represent or appeal to a certain market, why not also market to the ghetto/ratchet?

I'm not a fan but I think it's bullshit that they fired her for that. Loni is clearly not funny and the weakest link and she still has a job. :plzstop:

The show knew her personality when they hired her.


And the whole premise of "the real" is bullshit if that's the case.


but the focus group didnt agree hun

I think it was more so her unprofessional behavior that was marked as "ghetto". The eye rolls, the stank face, not dancing and cheering as they all walked out, and her comments towards Jeannie.

All that probably rubbed the sponsor the wrong way. On top of the behind the scenes mess.

She kinda made the show imo. Let's start a petition to bring her back or sumtn.
Must be a purple moon, feel like one of those nights...
