00:00I just feel just like I just got to eat all of my emotions.
00:03The sun comes up before I go to bed every night for two years.
00:12How are you feeling about the show coming back?
00:14I'm a little leery.
00:15Ever since everything happened with Tracy,
00:17I would have thought that maybe it would have brought everybody closer.
00:20But that's not what happened yet.
00:22You were all in the living room with the hospice doctor.
00:25The nurse?
00:26That's when I found out.
00:27At the time, you and Tracy were kind of at odds, though.
00:31There's something that I still struggle with
00:32because I don't understand why I was the last to know.
00:37As a man, I'm trying to figure things out myself.
00:40Every time Kevin Jr. is contacting a family member, it's an emergency.
00:44But we want to make it clear to him that we're here for him to lean on
00:47whenever he needs to talk to us.
00:51Are we going to hear wedding bells anytime soon?
00:54How long y'all been together?
00:55Nine years.
00:56No way.
00:57It's the last week before a big premiere of Love and Laughter,
01:11and I'm excited because I'm on stage with Cedric,
01:14but my nerves have been all over the place.
01:16Thinking about my health issues.
01:18If I have a heart attack, I won't survive.
01:20But I can't even handle that deal.
01:23It's up around the corner now.
01:24I'm trying hard not to let my past health scare get into my head.
01:28And I'm so anxious because I'm not doing great.
01:30You just don't know when it's going to happen.
01:32This is my career.
01:33This is everything I love, and I'm not ready to retire.
01:35At the end of the day, I'll stop the entire show.
01:38Once that is done, we are going to start from the top of the show.
02:04It's the day before the Love and Laughter residency will be premiering at the Cosmopolitan in my favorite place, Las Vegas.
02:28It's a big stage show, 90 minutes long, and the show will be running for 20 weeks.
02:34Whoo, butterflies.
02:36Melissa, let me know when you're ready.
02:39Okay, folks, if everybody can be quiet on stage because we are going to run a cue.
02:45Being able to sing and dance is so physically and mentally demanding.
02:52I've just recently recovered from bronchitis, and my doctors cleared me.
02:55That's great, but I keep losing my breath with the heart situation.
02:58So I keep telling myself, pace it, pace it, singing and dancing, singing and dancing.
03:02Oh, it's so wonderful to be here.
03:04Guys, love and laughter.
03:06You guys having a good time?
03:08Yeah.
03:09Me too.
03:12First of all, guys, I want to thank you for my job.
03:15I want to thank you for putting me on the stage.
03:20The real test would be if I can get through the whole show without hitting a wall.
03:23I don't know how Janet and Brittany and all those have done it for years.
03:26I commend them.
03:26Wow, it's really, really tough.
03:28Here, right?
03:28So, grand piano.
03:30Make sure it's on grand.
03:30That's the very first sound.
03:32Here?
03:33It's not right.
03:35This is the world grand three.
03:37That's not what we had yesterday.
03:38We're grand right there.
03:39Grand.
03:40Look, upright, electric, cloud, boom, boom, but we're going grand.
03:45We've only had three days to practice in the space that we'll be performing.
03:49Everything else was at the rehearsal space in L.A.
03:52There's a lot of static in my ears, guys, like a lot, like a lot.
03:55It's a lot of static, Joseph.
03:57When I take the Vegas stage for the first time in 15 years, I need the world to know that
04:01Tony Braxton is back and better than ever.
04:05Okay, let's try it one more time.
04:08Here we go.
04:20Hi, guys.
04:23Erin.
04:24We're doing something a little different tonight.
04:26It's Monday.
04:27And it's time for us to cook.
04:28Bonnie and I have been doing cooking videos on social media for about a year now.
04:35Tonight, we're going to make lobster mashed potatoes, chuck roast steak, and baby spinach.
04:41Since I made a cameo appearance on Mommy and Tamer's cooking show, I had to invite Mommy
04:46to be a guest on our show, too.
04:48You know, I'm not going to be outdone.
04:51Mom, you can start on the potatoes.
04:53Oh, okay.
04:54Let me wash my hands here.
04:55Yes, that's what we do here.
04:56But, of course, we do things just a little different.
04:59Put some butter in there.
05:00Put the butter in.
05:01Don't be scared.
05:01Not all of it now.
05:02You're trying to give us cholesterol problems?
05:04Yeah.
05:04You already got it.
05:05Do it all.
05:06S-T-O-V.
05:09Stop!
05:10Don't be scared of the pepper.
05:11You ain't buying it.
05:12Put it in there.
05:13Look, I'm tired of you bossing me.
05:16Girl, you better take a seat.
05:18My kitchen, my way.
05:21Boom.
05:22Mmm.
05:23Mmm.
05:24Incredible.
05:26Okay, we'll end now.
05:27Good job, guys.
05:28Thanks, man.
05:29It was incredible.
05:31So I'm trying to see Tone Tone for her.
05:34For sure.
05:34Look at God.
05:35I'm going to surprise her.
05:36She would love that.
05:38Tamer's going to be there.
05:39Oh, really?
05:39Yes, ma'am.
05:41Tamer and I are planning to attend Tony's premiere night in Vegas.
05:44Tony's a bit nervous for the entire family to be there.
05:47So Mommy and Tawanda decided to wait for the second show.
05:50But I can't wait to see Tony Braxton on stage again.
05:52So I'm going to both.
05:54How's things going with you and your counseling?
05:58And no offense, your drinking and your eating.
06:05Because you were eating and drinking.
06:06My feelings.
06:08Yes, ma'am.
06:08And that's a true thing.
06:09You know, and that bothered me, too.
06:11Ever since I've been to counseling, it's changed dramatically.
06:15I don't even cook at 2 o'clock in the morning anymore.
06:18I can sleep at night now.
06:20Oh, Trina.
06:22That's the best news I've heard in I don't know when.
06:26Because I released myself.
06:29I was in a dark place.
06:31To get to this point, I had to realize it's OK to be in grief.
06:35It's OK to grieve.
06:36But Tracy would want me to still live my best life.
06:39I want to be around for my sons.
06:41I want to be around for my grandbabies.
06:43I want to be around for my family.
06:44I want to be around for my husband.
06:45There's so much more I want to accomplish.
06:47There's so much more I want to do.
06:48And I don't want you to lose another child.
06:51I don't want to lose another child, either.
06:54I don't want to lose anybody.
06:56You have to take care of what God has given.
06:59Because you just don't know what tomorrow brings.
07:02Yes, ma'am.
07:03Yes, ma'am.
07:04Look at God.
07:05And give me my, uh.
07:06I'm going home.
07:07Oh, I'm so proud of you.
07:10It was just.
07:11I'm going to give you this.
07:12I need my apron.
07:13I need my apron.
07:13Sting in the apron.
07:14It's not stinking.
07:15I just washed it.
07:16Oh.
07:19With their hairstyle.
07:21I have hair.
07:24Trina says Tracy and her were at fault with each other before Tracy passed away.
07:29I want to actually go into that energy and hear from her sister.
07:33My adrenaline is pumping.
07:39It's a lot to be on stage for 90 minutes.
07:42Once you lose a sibling, the worst thought in the world is losing another one.
07:47Hey, y'all.
08:06I'm here.
08:08Hey, Sam.
08:08I'm here.
08:09Hey.
08:10Hey, Ry.
08:11I'm appearing on my friend Ryan's radio show to promote me and Trina's upcoming beauty line
08:17and me and Sean's podcast called King Ladybug and all of the amazing things that I'm doing.
08:22So how have things been?
08:24Amazing.
08:24Interesting.
08:25You know, we've been doing the Braxton's is what it's called now.
08:29We did this for Tracy.
08:32Right.
08:32Because she wanted us to tell her story.
08:34So, you know, that's what we did.
08:36So, you know, with their hairstyle.
08:39I have hair.
08:41Well, when you decided to do this, like, was it easy?
08:44Was it a no-brainer?
08:44It was a no-brainer.
08:46But what everybody doesn't know is it was two-sided.
08:49Okay.
08:50I did it in solidarity for Tracy.
08:52But the other part of it is I didn't want everybody to know that I had alopecia.
08:58Okay.
09:00Alopecia.
09:01Yes.
09:01I decided to finally share my alopecia diagnosis with the world, and I just think that by me speaking up and letting everybody know that I'm not ashamed of it, it'll help other people because there's nothing to be ashamed or afraid of.
09:14What was it that made you say, I'm going to tell people?
09:17Because nobody would have known.
09:18Hell no.
09:20You could have just kept it.
09:21So, I was going to start my skincare line.
09:24Okay.
09:24And the lady who I was doing it with, she said, you know what, sis, I think you should tell everybody.
09:30I didn't want to proceed with that without Sean knowing.
09:34So, I immediately went downstairs, and I said, um, yeah, so, honey, so, I got off the phone, and, you know, I have alopecia, right?
09:44So, um, so, yeah, so, what's she going to do?
09:46It's like, very matter of fact.
09:48Right.
09:48You want some stay tuned, though?
09:49I did it just like that.
09:51And then, you know how he is.
09:52He was like, hold up, wait.
09:54We are not going to skip over that.
09:56We're going to talk about that.
09:57Like, what?
09:59Okay.
10:00How long have me and Sean been knowing each other?
10:02It's been over 30 years.
10:04And I hid all of this from him.
10:08Knowing that I have his support and his love, I can conquer the world by letting everybody else know that it's okay to come out to see if you got alopecia.
10:16It's all right.
10:17So, with a skincare line.
10:19Yes.
10:19What all is it?
10:20It's called alope.
10:21It stands for alopecia.
10:23It's shampoo, it's conditioner, and it's an exfoliant, and then it's a mask that you put on your head at night.
10:29What is this going to do for awareness for people?
10:31You can walk long and strong and walk in your greatness not having hair, and that's okay.
10:36And if you want hair, you can buy hair.
10:38You don't have to walk in shame.
10:41Proud of you.
10:42Thanks, Rod.
10:43Do you have any more questions?
10:45We're good.
10:45You covered it all.
10:46Come on in.
10:54Tamar and James.
10:57Hey, Taz.
10:59Hey.
10:59Welcome.
11:01How about two friends of mine here?
11:03How are you?
11:03It's wonderful to see you.
11:05Hi.
11:05Hi.
11:06Okay, so here is the thing.
11:08We black people.
11:09We don't talk dead people.
11:13Welcome.
11:14Thank you, sweetie.
11:15Please come have a seat.
11:17Taz.
11:18She's more than a medium, child.
11:19She's a spiritual advisor in a Jesus kind of way.
11:23I'm Taz.
11:24I'm a healer.
11:24I do Crossing Over, where you get to connect with people that have passed on so that we can bring closure and healing.
11:31We were celebrating Tracy's birthday.
11:34Trina said something.
11:36She said that Tracy and her were at fault with each other before Tracy passed away.
11:43And it kind of upset Tamar.
11:45He said that she had about two weeks.
11:47Do y'all remember that?
11:48No one would tell me.
11:49I don't understand why I was the last to know.
11:52Yeah, but at the time you and Tracy were kind of at odds, though.
11:55It wasn't...
11:55No, we wasn't at odds.
11:57Oh.
11:58Your timeline is different.
11:59What were you saying?
12:00On one hand, she's right.
12:02Tracy and I did have a lot of disagreements, if I'm honest about it.
12:06Why do you feel like Tracy didn't tell you?
12:08I don't know why she didn't tell me.
12:09I don't have that answer.
12:12I want to actually go into that energy and hear from her sister.
12:16Please.
12:16You know, what she has to say.
12:26Tracy does come through, but she is so emotional.
12:29I'm feeling emotional now, because she's connecting very strongly with you.
12:35Her first word to you is...
12:37I am sorry.
12:44She says, before I passed, I did a lot of things that I wish I could do differently.
12:49She says, I love each and every one of you.
12:51Just remember, you are my baby.
12:53And she says, what do we do when we have a baby?
12:58We protect you.
12:59And that's what I did with you.
13:02If I hurt you, or if I disappointed you in any way, I am sorry.
13:06All I want is for you to know that you are loved and that you are protected.
13:16If there's anything you'd like to say to her...
13:18Yeah, um...
13:20I have a lot of regret.
13:32It's been a beautiful ride.
13:35Yes, honey.
13:36I just have one question for you.
13:41She says, I am apologizing to you today.
13:43No, she shouldn't apologize.
13:45It's my apology.
13:46In less than an hour, I'll be hitting the stage for the first time for Love and Laughter show.
13:56Since my recent health scare, when they had to put the stent in my heart,
13:59my body is much more vulnerable.
14:01But I can't risk having my biggest residency shut down.
14:04If there's anything you'd like to say to her...
14:20I have a lot of regret.
14:22Because, you know, I didn't really get a chance...
14:24I didn't really get a chance to, um...
14:30I didn't get a chance to be their sister.
14:35I wanted to beat her.
14:42She says, like any normal family, we had our differences.
14:47Yeah, we did.
14:48But not so big.
14:49But I love my sister.
14:51She says, I know that.
14:52She says, I am apologizing to you today.
14:55No, she shouldn't apologize.
14:56I just feel like it's my apology.
15:00I know that we didn't have the best relationship all the time.
15:06But at the end, I really did try to be there for her and be a good sister.
15:09And I just don't think I have enough time to make it right.
15:18She's got her arms around you.
15:20And she says, what are you talking about?
15:22I know the love you have for me.
15:25Moments that we shared before my passing were special.
15:28It meant a lot to me.
15:29She says, it's not about time.
15:32You showed me your love and your support.
15:35She says, that's what matters, not the time.
15:40I knew that the times that Tracy and I connected before she passed meant a lot to her.
15:45Because it meant even more for me.
15:48We had some really serious, hard, but amazing conversations.
16:00We both profusely apologized for, you know, just misunderstanding as sisters and things.
16:07It was beautiful because I really got to know my sister.
16:11And what I always want to do is honor her.
16:14Honor how amazing of a human she was while she was here.
16:18And also, she's even more amazing now.
16:21She says, my only wish today is to see my sisters and to see my family united.
16:31Because her death, instead of bringing all of you together to grieve as a family, has created a bit of division and separation.
16:40I've been through hell and that a couple times.
16:46And I still have a lot of work to do.
16:49I'm not perfect.
16:50But my commitment to myself is to always show up as my best self.
16:55And to show up for my mother.
16:57And to show up for my sisters when they need me to be.
17:01You're already okay.
17:02You're already good.
17:03You're already okay.
17:03I haven't always been the best sister.
17:07And I haven't always been the best support system.
17:11But I've grown a lot.
17:13And for me to show up for them now is what I really, truly want to do.
17:18She smiles.
17:19She says, I remember us as the young girls.
17:21Playful.
17:22Picking on one another.
17:23Oh, yeah.
17:25Tamar, you're right.
17:26I'll say it with you.
17:28Tamar, you might be right.
17:30There, how about that?
17:31Boom!
17:32We should look to each other and go to each other for whatever issues that we have.
17:38You know what I mean?
17:38It's so much fun hanging out with Tamar when it's just two of us.
17:41And it is great to have my baby sister back.
17:47Tracy says to you, all I want today is for you to remember that you are strong.
17:53You are going to heal.
17:55And I'm walking this journey with you.
17:58Thank you so much.
18:02Thank you, T. I appreciate it.
18:03Thank you, T. I appreciate it.
18:03Thank you, T. I appreciate you.

30:33i'm not sure what he has planned
30:35but they've been so hard on me about my comedy skills

36:36Hi, here.
36:37Hi, here.
36:38Hi.
36:39I'm engaged.
36:40It's all over my head.
36:41I know.
36:42I'm just engaged.
36:43And Von's not going to be the only son-in-law.
36:44But listen, I want y'all to see something.
36:46Let me see.
36:47Listen to this.
36:48I just wanted to tell you the good news.
36:51What?
36:52And I'm coming to see you.
36:54I thought you could say anything, engaged.
36:56Because your ass is already engaged.
36:59You hear, Tracy?
37:00I'm not engaged.
37:02It's easy to harbor on the lows.
37:05So when you get your highs, it gives you something to look forward to that's a happy and a positive occasion.
37:12We have a wedding to look forward to.
37:13Just happy moments.
37:14That makes me think about happy stuff.
37:16Just happy, happy, happy.
37:18We're still going to have that element of Tracy not being there, but she's still always going to be with us.
37:24May we remember this forever.
37:27Amen.
37:28It's time to put aside the sword and concentrate on all the positives that we have going on right now.
37:35So let me tell you, your show is absolutely spectacular.
37:41It's amazing.
37:43Yeah, I've told her that.
37:44You can clap for yourself.
37:45I can clap for myself.
37:47I have to take my glasses off of this.
37:49It is incredible.
37:50Tracy's definitely looking at it for us.
37:52She just really is.
37:53She really is.
37:54That's how I feel.
37:55I thought about her yesterday at the show.
37:57I was like, Tracy would have me having this choreography.
37:59Oh, girl.
38:00Yes.
38:01Remember when we were making up choreography in front of her to entertain her?
38:04Okay.
38:05Remember that, Tracy?
38:06Yes.
38:07Oh, yeah.
38:08Oh, yeah.
38:09Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
38:17That's Tracy's dance.
38:18I'm done with it.
38:19It's called the Tracy.
38:20Can you believe we did it?
38:22Can you believe we did another season?
38:23Yeah.
38:24Yeah, for Tracy.
38:25Tracy!
38:26I'm so happy.
38:27I know Tracy looking down things.
38:29Okay.
38:30They did it.
38:31Yes.
38:32About time.
38:33Dang.
38:34Day one.
38:35We're actually, baby.
38:36Let's get it.
38:37Day one.
38:38This is my first green screen.
38:39You look right there.
38:41Thank you, my friend.
38:42I'm giving very much.
38:43I'm not single, but we not together.
38:46First scene, first day back.
38:48First scene, first day.
38:49Hey, you're going to be looking directly at me.
38:52Nice view, too.
38:53Look at God.
38:54See?
38:55Mm-hmm.
38:57I have the exact same dress that Trina had.
39:00Ah!
39:01Ah!
39:02See?
39:03I was single.
39:04All right.
39:05Yeah.
39:06That's what you're saying.
39:07Come on, my single?
39:08All right.
39:09You're single now.
39:10Congratulations.
39:14Last time we all did something together was in 2019.
39:17And I really feel that Tracy is extremely excited that we were able to come together.
39:23to film the Braxton's again and tell Tracy's story.
39:27In my opinion, I feel like Tracy felt like throughout her whole life she didn't have a voice.
39:32And that's why her cancer was esophageal.
39:34Yeah.
39:35Boom.
39:36I said it.
39:37I am so proud of you guys.
39:40Aw.
39:41Tawana, she's engaged.
39:43Oh, my God!
39:44Yes!
39:46Tony is doing show.
39:48It's phenomenal.
39:50And Trina's doing fantastic.
39:53Ever since I've been to counseling, it's changed dramatically.
39:58I don't even cook at 2 o'clock in the morning anymore.
40:00I'm proud of Tamar and what she's doing.
40:03To a number one podcast and two number one singles, Phil.
40:06And to a book.
40:07Man.
40:08I am so proud of Kevin, how he's sticking to therapy and just being a good dad.
40:15I think I have to set boundaries.
40:17Mm.
40:18You know, I have to find a way to disconnect so I can get better.
40:21Tracy may be gone, but I'm so proud of her, too, that she talked you guys into doing this.
40:28One of the things I'm hoping for in the future of our sisterhood is we communicate.
40:34Trina, she's Leanne Rhymes.
40:35You think you came up right now?
40:37Yeah!
40:40We remain close.
40:41Give me a hug, Trina.
40:43But don't ruin my dress.
40:45And we don't let outside influences to come in between.
40:49Amen.
40:50Amen.
40:51Amen.
40:52Because time is short.
40:54We don't know how much longer we have.
40:57I'm so happy to be your mother.
41:09Thank you, ma'am.
41:10Nah, don't do that, Trina.
41:12Really?
41:13Really?
41:14Really?
41:15At the destination.
41:17I know we'll get there.
41:19Tana, put your arms up, dammit!
41:21I love you!
41:23Before she left us, Tracy told us, you're my sisters, and I want you guys to always be together.
41:28And I'm gonna be okay, don't worry about me.
41:31Even leaving this earth, she was worried about us.
41:34We can stand alone.
41:36Oh, my God!
41:37Look at us!
41:38I know the pain will never go completely away.
41:43But coming together, even partially for now, is a step in the right direction.
41:49All that really matters is family.
41:52Here's to the greatest women, the greatest family in the world.
42:00Look at God!
42:01Do the Braxton!
42:02Do the Braxton guys!
42:03The Braxton!
42:04The Braxton season one is a wrap!
42:24Thank God!
42:25Bye!
42:26You ain't going nowhere.
42:27I love you.
42:29Bye!
42:34You
