In an emotional interview with theGrio, Evelyn Braxton is speaking out against the abuse that her daughter, Tamar Braxton, endured in her nearly 10-year marriage.
?It was definitely a volatile relationship,? Ms. Braxton says during a phone conversation from Atlanta, Georgia. ?This has been going on for years.?
The matriarch of the Braxton family says Tamar?s estranged husband, Vincent Herbert, was both physically and emotionally abusive throughout the marriage, something that has long been kept secret?until now.
?Everybody saw Vince as a knight and shining armor, [but] behind closed doors that?s a horse of another color,? Evelyn Braxton says. ?I?m tired of [Tamar] being abused and misused.?
Ms. Braxton first made claims about the alleged abuse while she was approached by TMZ photographers at Los Angeles International Airport. ?I love Vince, but I don?t want him to kill my child,? she said just days after Tamar filed for divorce. About a week later, reports claimed that Tamar was ?upset? with her mother for going public and refused to film with her for their reality show.
Evelyn tells theGrio, however, that she and her youngest daughter are doing just fine and are ?talking? and ?hugging.?
?They say the truth shall set you free. They?ve been trying to hide it for years. And I have the audacity to tell the truth,? she says.
