Transcript

00:00I just feel 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.

00:26The 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.

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.

01:20It'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, and it's everything I love,

01:34and 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

02:26in 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.

02:37Okay, folks, if everybody can be quiet on stage because we are going to run a cue.

02:47Being 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 using 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 was so wonderful to be here.

03:04Guys, love and laughter.

03:06You guys having a good time?

03:08Yeah!

03:10Me 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 Britney and all those have done it for years.

03:26I commend them.

03:27Wow, 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.

03:35World grand three.

03:37That's not what we had yesterday.

03:38Grand right there.

03:40Grand.

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.

03:54Like a lot.

03:55It's a lot of static, Joseph.

03:57When I take the Vegas stage for the first time in 15 years,

04:00I need the world to know that Toni Braxton is back and better than ever.

04:05Okay, let's try one more time.

04:08Here we go.

04:09Hi, 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.

04:28Bye 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.

04:42Since I made a cameo appearance on Mommy and Tamer's cooking show,

04:45I had to invite Mommy to be a guest on our show, too.

04:48You know, I'm not going to be outdone.

04:50Mom, 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 differently.

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, Miley.

05:29That was incredible.

05:31So I'm trying to see Tone Tone for her.

05:34For sure.

05:34Look at God.

05:36I'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, you're drinking.

06:02Mm-hmm.

06:02And you're 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, and 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 okay to be in grief.

06:35It's okay 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.

06:57You 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...

07:06I'm going home.

07:07Oh, I'm so proud of you.

07:10It was a...

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

07:27before Tracy passed away.

07:29I want to actually go into that energy

07:31and hear from her sister.

07:35What's up, motherfuckers?

07:37My adrenaline is pumping.

07:39It's a lot to be on stage for 90 minutes.

07:42Once you lose a sibling,

07:44the worst thought in the world is losing another one.

07:59Hey, y'all.

08:06I'm here.

08:07Hey, Sam O'Lan.

08:09Hey.

08:10Hey, Ry.

08:12I'm appearing on my friend Ryan's radio show

08:14to promote me and Trina's upcoming beauty line

08:17and me and Sean's podcast called King Ladybug

08:20and all of the amazing things that I'm doing.

08:22So how have things been?

08:24Amazing, interesting.

08:25You know, we've been doing the Braxton's

08:27is 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.

08:40Well, when you decided to do this,

08:43like, 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

08:54I didn't want everybody to know that I had alopecia.

08:58Okay.

09:00Alopecia.

09:01Yes.

09:02I decided to finally share my alopecia diagnosis

09:04with the world,

09:05and I just think that by me speaking up

09:08and letting everybody know that I'm not ashamed of it,

09:11it'll help other people

09:12because there's nothing to be ashamed or afraid of.

09:15What was it that made you say,

09:16I'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,

09:26she said,

09:27you know what, sis?

09:28I think you should tell everybody.

09:30I didn't want to proceed with that

09:32without Sean knowing.

09:37So I immediately went downstairs,

09:39and I said,

09:40yeah, so, honey,

09:42so I got off the phone,

09:43and, you know,

09:43I have alopecia, right?

09:44So, um, so, yeah,

09:45so what she want to do...

09:46It's like very matter-of-fact.

09:48Right.

09:48You want some stay-tooth, no?

09:49I did it just like that.

09:51And then you know how he is.

09:52He was like,

09:53hold 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,

10:11I can conquer the world

10:12by letting everybody else know

10:14that it's okay to come out

10:15to see if you got alopecia.

10:16It's all right.

10:17So with a skincare line...

10:19Yes.

10:19What all is it?

10:20And it's called alope.

10:21It stands for alopecia.

10:23It's shampoo, it's conditioner,

10:25and it's an exfoliant,

10:27and then it's a mask

10:28that you put on your head at night.

10:29What is this going to do

10:30for awareness for people?

10:31You can walk long and strong

10:33and walk in your greatness

10:34not having hair,

10:36and that's okay.

10:36And if you want hair,

10:37you 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.

10:53Come 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?

11:03Always wonderful to see you.

11:05Hi.

11:07Okay, so here is the thing.

11:08We black people.

11:09We don't talk dead people.

11:10Welcome.

11:14Thank you, sweetie.

11:15Please come have a seat.

11:17Taz, she's more than a medium, child.

11:20She's a spiritual advisor

11:21in a Jesus kind of way.

11:23I'm Taz.

11:24I'm a healer.

11:24I do crossing over

11:25where you get to connect

11:26with people that have passed on

11:28so that we can bring closure

11:29and healing.

11:31We were celebrating

11:32Tracy's birthday.

11:34Trina said something.

11:36She said that

11:37Tracy and her

11:39were at

11:40faults with each other

11:41before Tracy passed away.

11:43And it kind of upset Tamar.

11:45He said that she had

11:46about two weeks.

11:47Do y'all remember that?

11:48No one would tell me.

11:50I don't understand

11:50why I was the last to know.

11:52Yeah, but at that time

11:53you and Tracy were

11:54kind of at odds, though.

11:55It wasn't...

11:55No, we wasn't at odds.

11:57Oh.

11:58Your timeline is different

11:59to what were you saying?

12:00On one hand, she's right.

12:02Tracy and I did

12:04have a lot of disagreements

12:05if I'm honest about it.

12:06Why do you feel like

12:07Tracy didn't tell you?

12:08I don't know why

12:08she didn't tell me.

12:09I don't have that answer.

12:12I want to actually

12:13go into that energy

12:14and hear from her sister.

12:16Please.

12:17You know, what she has to say.

12:18Tracy does come through,

12:28but she is so emotional.

12:30I'm feeling emotional now

12:31because she's connecting

12:32very strongly with you.

12:35Her first word to you is...

12:40I am sorry.

12:44She says,

12:45before I passed,

12:45I did a lot of things

12:46that I wish I could do

12:47differently.

12:49She says,

12:49I love each and every one of you.

12:51Just remember,

12:52you are my baby.

12:55And she says,

12:56what do we do

12:56when we have a baby?

12:58We protect you.

12:59And that's what I did with you.

13:02If I hurt you

13:03or if I disappointed you

13:05in any way,

13:05I am sorry.

13:09All I want is for you

13:11to know that you are loved

13:12and that you are protected.

13:16If there's anything

13:17you'd like to say,

13:17to her.

13:18Yeah,

13:18I 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,

13:41I am apologizing to you today.

13:43No,

13:44she shouldn't apologize.

13:45It's my apology.

13:50In less than an hour,

13:52I'll be hitting the stage

13:53for the first time

13:54for Love and Laughter show.

13:56Since my recent health scare,

13:57when they had to put

13:58the stent in my heart,

13:59my body is much more vulnerable.

14:02But I can't risk having

14:03my biggest residence

14:04to be shut down.

14:04if there's anything

14:17you'd like to say to her.

14:20I have a lot of regret

14:21because, you know,

14:23I didn't really get a chance.

14:24I didn't really get a chance

14:28to, um,

14:30I didn't get a chance

14:34to be the sister

14:35I wanted to be to.

14:36She says,

14:43like any normal family,

14:45we had our differences.

14:47Yeah, we did.

14:48But not so big.

14:49But I love my sister.

14:51She says,

14:51I know that.

14:52She says,

14:53I am apologizing to you today.

14:55No, she shouldn't apologize.

14:56I just feel like

14:57it's my apology.

15:02I knew that we didn't have

15:03the best relationship

15:04all the time.

15:06But at the end,

15:07I really did try

15:08to be there for her

15:09and be a good sister.

15:10And I just don't think

15:10that I didn't have time

15:12to make it right.

15:18She's got her arms around you

15:20and she says,

15:20what are you talking about?

15:22I know the love

15:23you have for me.

15:25Moments that we shared

15:26before my passing

15:27was special.

15:28It meant a lot to me.

15:30She says,

15:30it's not about time.

15:32You showed me

15:33your love

15:34and your support.

15:35She says,

15:36that's what matters,

15:37not the time.

15:40I knew that

15:41the times

15:41that Tracy and I

15:43connected

15:43before she passed

15:44meant a lot to her

15:45because it meant

15:45even more for me.

15:48We had some really serious,

15:57hard, but amazing

15:59conversations.

16:00We both profusely

16:02apologized for,

16:03you know,

16:04just misunderstanding

16:05as sisters

16:06and things.

16:08It was beautiful

16:09because I really

16:10got to know my sister

16:11and what I always

16:12want to do

16:13is honor her,

16:14honor how amazing

16:15of a human

16:16she was

16:17while she was here

16:18and also

16:19she's even

16:20more amazing now.

16:22She says,

16:22my only wish today

16:24is to see

16:25my sisters

16:25and to see

16:26my family united.

16:32Because her death

16:33instead of bringing

16:34all of you together

16:35to grieve

16:36as a family

16:36has created

16:38a bit of division

16:39and separation.

16:42I've been through

16:43hell and that

16:45a couple times

16:46and I still have

16:48a lot of work to do.

16:49I'm not perfect,

16:50but my commitment

16:52to myself

16:52is to always show up

16:54as my best self

16:54and to show up

16:56for my mother

16:57and to show up

16:59for my sisters

16:59when they need me

17:00to be.

17:01You're already okay.

17:03You're already okay.

17:04I haven't always been

17:05the best sister

17:06and I haven't always

17:07been the best

17:08support system

17:09but I've grown a lot

17:12and for me to show up

17:14for them now

17:14is what I really

17:15truly want to do.

17:18She smiles.

17:19She says,

17:19I remember us

17:20as 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,

17:29you might be right.

17:30There, how about that?

17:31Boom.

17:32We should look

17:33to each other

17:33and go to each other

17:35for whatever issues

17:37that we have.

17:38You know what I mean?

17:38It's so much fun

17:39hanging out with Tamar

17:40when it's just two of us

17:41and it is great

17:43to have my baby sister back.

17:47Tracy says to you,

17:48all I want today

17:50is for you to remember

17:51that you are strong,

17:53you are going to heal,

17:55and I'm walking

17:56this journey with you.

17:57Thank you so much.

18:02Thank you, T.

18:02I appreciate it.

18:03You're welcome.

18:33Tonight is the big night and my adrenaline is pumping because in less than an hour, I'll

18:39be hitting the stage for the first time for Love and Laughter Show.

18:44I've been performing, you know, for decades, but since my recent health scare, when they

18:49had to put the stent in my heart, my body is much more vulnerable than it ever was.

18:54So, of course, it makes me a little more nervous.

18:56I'm excited about Toni's show.

19:09It's been a while seeing her perform and I'm also excited that she feels well enough to

19:15do this.

19:16I'm healthy and I'm in good shape.

19:20And it's a lot to be on stage for 90 minutes for me, you know?

19:24And for Toni to have these health challenges, you know, it's scary.

19:28Once you lose a sibling, the worst thought in the world is losing another one.

19:33Places, please.

19:34Places for top of show.

19:37Honestly, my nerves have been all over the place.

19:41I can't risk having my Vegas residency be shut down the second time because of health issues.

19:47This was Cedric's idea to do a comedy sketch with my sisters.

19:53Come on now.

19:54Okay.

19:55Nobody told us what the skin is.

19:56We're not gonna wear.

19:57Gonna need to wear panties.

19:58Remember what happened when you were in seventh grade?

20:01Tawana!

20:02You tell that story, Tawana.

20:03I'm not your friend anymore.

20:04Did she tell?

20:06I could do a joke right now.

20:07Oh, my God.

20:08Like right now?

20:09You gonna do it?

20:10Somebody said no.

20:11Nobody came to see Toni Braxton Craig jokes.

20:13Mm-mm.

20:14Mm-mm.

20:15I can see it coming.

20:17I've been able to push through the last few months of rehearsal, and tonight, I'm determined

20:30to give a flawless performance.

20:37What's up, Ross Vegas?

20:39We about to do this.

20:41I got the legend Toni with me.

20:43Toni, you ready to do this?

20:44Toni has been the sibling pillar of strength for all of us.

20:49But when she recently had a stint put in her heart, she really thought that that was a turning

20:56point for her.

20:57And not for the better.

20:59But Toni is a fighter.

21:03She is iconic Toni Michelle Braxton.

21:04She is iconic Toni Michelle Braxton.

21:08And not for the better.

21:09She is iconic.

21:10She is iconic.

21:23Are versa?

21:25I'm Toni Braxton.

21:27I love performing so much.

21:41It's like my adrenaline.

21:45And to never be able to perform again,

21:46I tried to take that when the doctors told me,

21:48but I couldn't take it.

21:49I couldn't believe it.

21:50You know, I have that stupid lupus,

21:51and, you know, the doctor said I would never be able to perform again,

21:54but, you know, the man upstairs had a whole other plan.

21:57And being there with Cedric,

22:00I will always love him and thank him for his contribution

22:03in helping me always.

22:05He's my hero.

22:07We'll switch.

22:07You're going to do a little joke,

22:08and I'll do a little love later on.

22:10Okay.

22:11Tony's a performer.

22:12She's a star.

22:13We all knew she was always going to inevitably take the stage again.

22:17But I am absolutely concerned about Tony trying to do comedy.

22:23All right, so you're just going to do the laughter right now?

22:25I can do a joke right now?

22:26Oh, my God.

22:26Like, right now?

22:27Are you going to do it?

22:28Can I?

22:29They said no.

22:29Somebody said no.

22:32Let me tell you something.

22:33Nobody came to that show to see Tony Braxton crack jokes.

22:38You know what?

22:39Let's give it a shot.

22:40Ladies and gentlemen,

22:41the comedy stylists of Tony Braxton.

22:44Let's go, Tony.

22:44So I have a joke.

22:45Okay.

22:46It's a joke, joke.

22:47What do you call a bear?

22:49Mm-mm.

22:50A bear who has no teeth.

22:52Mm-mm.

22:53It's too easy.

22:55It's in the coming.

22:56You got to finish.

22:59You got to hit it.

23:00Damn it.

23:01Drop it on.

23:02A gummy bear.

23:03Baby, it's corny joke time.

23:07Feature Tony Braxton.

23:10I should have told the pizza joke, probably.

23:12Why the pizza joke?

23:12I mean, I started to tell the pizza joke, but I thought it might be too cheesy for you.

23:16So you got to get on your own on that one.

23:21I wasn't even ready.

23:23I need to think corny is in style.

23:25Corny is cool.

23:27Give it up for the sultry comedy stylists of Tony Braxton.

23:31Sultry comedy.

23:32This venue is packed with people who are all here for the same reason, to celebrate Tony

23:39Braxton's big comeback and to hear Cedric the Entertainer tell jokes.

23:44I mean, go on, Tony.

23:45Show the world you are still one of the world's most powerful voices of a generation and can

23:51bring this house all the way down to the ground.

24:21Unbreak my heart.

24:25Unbreak my heart.

24:26But without you, I just can't go.

24:34Oh, I can't go.

24:42Oh, I can't go.

24:44Oh, I can't go.

24:46Tell me in love.

24:49Unbreak my heart.

25:01Would my life ever be like it was?

25:03No.

25:03It never will be that way again.

25:05But it doesn't mean I'm dead.

25:07I'm still here.

25:09And I'm beyond grateful.

25:12It means the world to me that Tamar and Trina showed up to cheer me on, and I could share

25:23this milestone memory with them.

25:26Wasn't it amazing?

25:27It was delicious.

25:28I was out of breath a little bit.

25:29You look amazing.

25:30You look amazing.

25:32I wasn't that nice with her.

25:33Who?

25:34I'm a little tired.

25:35How are you breathing?

25:35She beat her mother's death.

25:36I can feel that you're breathing.

25:37See, let me tell you why I am.

25:38That's okay.

25:39I was a little anxiety.

25:41Tony.

25:41Tony, I'm Michelle Braxton.

25:43You have not missed a beat.

25:45Welcome back.

25:51Mom, you know what they say.

25:53What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

25:55Yay!

25:58Oh!

26:04This was Cedric's idea to do a comedy sketch with my sisters.

26:08Nobody told us what this kid is.

26:10It's been a beautiful ride.

26:11Yes, honey.

26:13I just have one question for you.

26:19We have Trina and Swan on the way, and then Miss E, she's ready.

26:31Hey, ladybug, I'm going to kiss you from this side.

26:43Hey, you.

26:44I'm going to sit right here.

26:45Oh, you're going to sit there?

26:46OK, well, I'll squeeze by you then.

26:47Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.

26:49Oh, you guys look beautiful.

26:52I have on a dress that she has.

26:54The same exact one.

26:55I have a black one just like this, and I have a white one like that.

26:58Hello.

26:59Hi, lady.

27:00How are you?

27:01How are you?

27:02Good.

27:03Are these your famous verbenas?

27:04They are.

27:05Here's your favorite.

27:07Well, guess what I have.

27:08Thank you so much.

27:09A diet Coke.

27:10Here's mine.

27:11Uh-uh, a regular.

27:13You got a fat Coke?

27:14You got a regular Coke?

27:17Oh!

27:18Well, Mom, you know what they say?

27:20What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

27:22We're not going to tell anybody you had a full Coke.

27:25Oh, you're so good to me.

27:28I am so excited to see Toni walk out on the stage and perform.

27:33She's just phenomenal.

27:36Unfortunately, Tamar couldn't stay because she had to go back to Atlanta to be with her son.

27:43That's who my girls are.

27:45Their kids come first.

27:47Me and Trina got a call to say that we're going to be a part of the show tonight.

27:51We don't know what we're doing.

27:53We don't know how we're doing it.

27:54You guys don't know what you're doing?

27:56I don't know that yet.

27:58Well, you know, you usually know everything.

28:00I'm telling you.

28:01I'm going to find out though.

28:02But anyway, guys, I got to go.

28:04Okay.

28:05I got to figure out what I'm wearing.

28:06Are you getting on stage too?

28:07No.

28:08Ugh.

28:09I want to look good.

28:10I'm going.

28:11See you, mother dear.

28:12I'll see you guys.

28:13Okay, go ahead.

28:14Bye.

28:15Bye.

28:16Tony asked Trina and I to do a short bit on stage with Cedric tonight.

28:21He usually interviews people in the middle of the show anyway.

28:23So Tony said, well, why not let Twanda and Trina do it?

28:27It doesn't worry me at all that she sprang this on us at the last minute because I'm a trained actress.

28:34What am I going to wear?

28:35Something sparkly, I'm sure.

28:36I have to go through my suitcase and get myself together.

28:38Because I have to have my right jewelry.

28:40Because what is she going to have us do?

28:41Are we going to stand there?

28:42Trina, I don't know.

28:43We're going to sit down or our legs are going to be crossed.

28:47We're going to need to wear panties.

28:49You don't wear panties with dresses?

28:51I mean, it depends on what the situation is after.

28:53Hold on.

28:54You don't wear a phone with a dress?

28:57Remember what happened when you were in seventh grade?

29:00Twanda, if you tell that story, Twanda, I'm not your friend anymore.

29:06Trina.

29:07We're not friends.

29:08I didn't say it.

29:10All I'm saying is you never know.

29:12If you say it in an interview, too, we're not friends.

29:14I'm not going to say it in an interview.

29:15You never know.

29:22In seventh grade, there was a situation that happened.

29:25Did she tell?

29:27I'm not going to tell y'all this story because I promised that I wasn't going to tell y'all.

29:30Who did she tell?

29:31Ooh, she told somebody.

29:33Just know she needs to wear some drawers.

29:36I can't believe you brought that up.

29:38We're a thong.

29:40We're a thong.

29:41All right.

29:42Yay!

29:45All right!

29:46the first show was amazing.

30:00The first show was amazing.

30:07But tonight will be the true test to see if I can keep up my stamina for the rest of the run.

30:15I wonder what the type of conversation is going to be.

30:18I don't know.

30:19I have no idea.

30:21I don't know at all.

30:22That makes me a little nervous.

30:23That don't make me nervous.

30:25This was Cedric's idea to do a comedy sketch with my sisters.

30:28And he thinks it would be funnier if they're not totally in on the joke.

30:33I'm not sure what he has planned.

30:36But they've been so hard on me about my comedy skills.

30:39So I'm looking forward to see if they can hold their own on stage with Cedric the Entertainer.

30:43Lord, I'm going to get a little more comfortable.

30:47Yes.

30:49Oh my gosh.

30:49You know, every time I get nervous, I have to pee.

30:52Why are you nervous?

30:52It'll stop, though.

30:53It'll suck back up.

30:54Why are you nervous, though?

30:55I don't know why.

30:56I've done it for 879,000 times.

30:59I'm going to take it out.

31:01I'm going to take my shirt out.

31:03I'm just going to relax.

31:05Okay, what you guys can't see is that Tawanda and I have been placed on a platform backstage

31:11and it's going to rise up out of the floor.

31:14However, nobody told us what the skit is.

31:17How y'all doing, man?

31:18I've literally done hundreds of stage performances and appearances, but not having it in a direction

31:25is freaking me out.

31:29And yes, I did wear underwear.

31:30I think I did.

31:37I'm not going to peel myself.

31:38I'm not going to peel myself.

31:39I'm not going to peel myself.

31:39You never do.

31:40I know.

31:41It feels like I'm going to.

31:42Yeah, Trina and Tawanda came up right there.

31:50What's up?

31:51How you doing, babe?

31:52Amazing.

31:53What's up?

31:53How y'all doing, man?

31:54Good.

31:54How are you?

31:55So good now.

31:56I'm good to hang out with y'all.

31:58You know what I was thinking?

31:58I was looking at y'all got all T names.

32:00Where'd that come from?

32:01I don't know.

32:02It's a corny joke that my father usually tells.

32:04He says when you put all the T's together, you get t-t-t-t-t-t.

32:07And he thought that was hilarious.

32:08And it wasn't.

32:08It's dumb.

32:09It's like one of those Tony jokes.

32:10What are those Tony jokes?

32:12Now, now, Tony, she started out singing.

32:15Yes.

32:15Now, did everybody want to be in the group at that time?

32:18We were all in the group.

32:19We were a church group.

32:20Did y'all have like a family song that y'all used to sing at any time?

32:24The toilet paper song.

32:26You want to join us?

32:27The toilet paper song?

32:27You know the toilet paper song?

32:28I don't know the toilet paper song.

32:29When we grew up in Maryland, we would make everything a song.

32:32Because on this particular day, Tamar needed some toilet paper.

32:36Can somebody give me some toilet paper?

32:39One by one, we started harmonizing.

32:40Somebody give me some toilet paper.

32:42And it just became a song.

32:43The toilet paper song.

32:44Somebody give me some toilet paper.

32:50It's stupid, but we did it.

32:51We were going to...

32:51That was it.

32:52It was it.

32:53Yes.

32:54I want some people to sing the toilet paper song with us.

32:56They don't know what to do.

32:57I don't think they know it.

32:58Somebody gonna come up and know it.

32:59You think so?

32:59Come on now.

33:00Okay.

33:00We're going to see somebody going to sing this toilet paper song with us.

33:03I got to get up, too.

33:04I just want somebody to come down.

33:06Give me one person that just heard the lyrics.

33:09This brother is going to come on up right here.

33:11He knows it?

33:12Yeah.

33:12You know the song, honey?

33:13No, I don't know the song.

33:14He said he going to sing the toilet paper song.

33:17You know the toilet paper song, honey?

33:19No, no, I don't know the toilet paper song.

33:20This your honey?

33:21Yes, this is Sean.

33:22Why are you here?

33:24I don't know the toilet paper song.

33:25You don't?

33:26I'm not here.

33:27But I did want to tell you something, though.

33:29What?

33:29Eight years ago, the Encore.

33:33Yes.

33:34We reconnected.

33:36We did.

33:37Yeah.

33:39The number eight means a lot to me because the number eight stands for new beginnings.

33:44Okay.

33:47And it's been a beautiful ride.

33:51Yes, honey.

33:52I just have one question for you.

33:53Okay.

33:53Oh, this is Sean.

33:55Oh!

33:58He's going.

33:59Oh, my God!

34:02Oh, my God!

34:08Yeah!

34:10Oh, my God!

34:12Talonda C. Braxton.

34:13Yeah!

34:15Ha, ha, ha.

34:16Ha, ha, ha.

34:18Will you marry me?

34:19Ha, ha, ha!

34:20Ha, ha, ha!

34:21Oh, my God!

34:24Yes!

34:24Ha, ha, ha!

34:25Ha, ha, ha!

34:26Ha, ha, ha!

34:27Ha, ha, ha!

34:27Ha, ha, ha, ha!

34:28Oh!

34:28Oh, my God!

34:29Yes!

34:30Oh!

34:31Ha, ha, ha!

34:31Ha!

34:33Oh!

34:33Man, congratulations, y'all!

34:35Show some love!

34:36Shake this, Brian!

34:37Yes!

34:38That's beautiful.

34:39Oh!

34:40Ha, ha, ha!

34:40Ha, ha, ha, ha!

34:41Ha!

34:42Ha, ha, ha, ha!

34:42Ha, ha!

34:43Oh!

34:43That's a beautiful thing right there, man.

34:45Yeah, sir.

34:46Ha, ha, ha!

34:47Ha, ha, ha!

34:48Congratulations!

34:49Oh, my gosh, I'm so excited.

34:53I didn't even know.

34:56I'm engaged.

34:58I'm engaged.

35:00I would have never guessed that the toilet paper song

35:03would play such a major role in my proposal.

35:07But I'm engaged.

35:09So we're all happy.

35:10Because I'm engaged.

35:15I'm getting married.

35:16Did y'all know?

35:20Did y'all know?

35:21I'm beyond happy for Jawanda right now.

35:23I wanted to run out on the stage,

35:25but the director said, don't even think about it.

35:28I'm engaged.

35:31I'm engaged.

35:32He has such a huge heart, and I'm so happy for Sean.

35:35He's finally ready to put a ring on it,

35:37even though it took 10 years.

35:39But it doesn't matter.

35:40It's happening.

35:41Yeah, because I'm engaged.

35:44We have a wedding you're planning, because I'm engaged.

35:45No, no, no.

35:50Tonight's show was just as magical as our premiere night.

35:54And between Jawanda's huge news

35:56and me completing a second show for the Vegas residency,

35:59feels like the Braxton's are taking a big step

36:01in the right direction.

36:03So what's your name going to be?

36:06Jawanda?

36:07How are you doing?

36:29How are you doing?

36:29Hi!

36:29Hi.

36:31Hi.

36:33Hey, hey, hey.

36:35I'm going down.

36:36I'm going down.

36:37I'm going down.

36:38I'm engaged.

36:40It's all over here.

36:41I'm just engaged.

36:43And Von's not going to be the only son-in-law.

36:45But listen, I want y'all to see something.

36:46Let me see.

36:48Listen to this.

36:49I just wanted to tell you the good news.

36:52What?

36:52And I'm coming to see you.

36:54I thought you were saying I'm engaged.

36:57Because your ass is already engaged.

37:00You're not interested.

37:03It's easy to harbor on the lows.

37:06So when you get your highs,

37:08it gives you something to look forward to

37:10that's a happy and a positive occasion.

37:12We have a wedding to look forward to.

37:14Just happy moments.

37:15That makes me think about happy stuff.

37:17Just happy, happy, happy.

37:19We're still going to have that element

37:21of Tracy not being there,

37:22but she's still always going to be with us.

37:24May we remember this forever.

37:28Amen.

37:29It's time to put aside the swords

37:31and concentrate on all the positives

37:34that we have going on right now.

37:35So let me tell you,

37:37your show is absolutely spectacular.

37:41It's amazing.

37:43Yeah, I've told her that.

37:44You can't clap for yourself.

37:45I can clap for myself.

37:48I can take my glasses off.

37:49It is incredible.

37:51Tracy's definitely looking at it for us.

37:52She just really is.

37:53That's how I feel.

37:55I thought about her yesterday at the show.

37:57I was like,

37:57Tracy would have me having this choreography.

37:59Oh, yes.

38:01Remember when we were making up choreography

38:03in front of her to entertain her?

38:05Remember that?

38:06Yes.

38:06Oh, yeah.

38:20It's called the Tracy.

38:21Can you believe we did it?

38:22Can you believe we had another season?

38:24Yeah, it did.

38:24For Tracy.

38:25She got me so happy.

38:28I know Tracy's looking down things.

38:30Okay, they did it.

38:32Yes.

38:33How time?

38:33Dang.

38:34Day one.

38:35Roxie, baby.

38:36Let's get it.

38:37Day one.

38:38This is my first green screen.

38:40So you look great, Tracy.

38:41Thank you, my friend.

38:42I'm giving very much.

38:44I'm not single, but we not together.

38:45First scene, first day back.

38:48First scene, first day.

38:50Hey, you're going to be looking directly at me.

38:53Nice view, too.

38:54Look at God.

38:55Oh, see?

38:58I love the exact same dress that Trina had.

39:01Oh!

39:03I was singing.

39:05Some of my single.

39:08Very much single now.

39:10Congratulations.

39:12Mwah.

39:14Last time we all did something together was in 2019.

39:18And I really feel that Tracy is extremely excited that we were able to come together to 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.

39:33And that's why her cancer was esophageal.

39:35Boom.

39:36I said it.

39:36I agree.

39:38I am so proud of you guys.

39:41Aw.

39:42With Tawana, she's engaged.

39:44Oh, my God.

39:45Yes!

39:46Tony is doing show.

39:49It's phenomenal.

39:51And 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?

40:08Man.

40:09I am so proud of Kevin, how he's sticking to therapy and just being a good dad.

40:16I think I have to set boundaries.

40:18Hmm.

40:19You know, I have to find a way to disconnect so I can get better.

40:22Tracia may be gone, but I'm so proud of her, too, that she talked you guys into doing this.

40:29One of the things I'm hoping for in the future of our sisterhood is we communicate.

40:35Trina thinks she Leigh Ann Rhymes.

40:36You think you tell her right stuff?

40:37You know?

40:38Nothing is changed, guys.

40:40We remain close.

40:42Give me a hug, Trina.

40:43But don't ruin my dress.

40:45And we don't let outside influences to come in between.

40:50Amen.

40:51Because time is short.

40:54We don't know how much longer we have.

40:59Amen.

41:01I'm so happy to be your mother.

41:10Thank you, Mom.

41:12No, I don't do that, Trina.

41:13Really?

41:14Really?

41:14I'm so happy to be your mother.

41:15I'm so happy to be your mother.

41:17I know we'll get there.

41:20Trina, put your arms up, damn it.

41:21I got you.

41:23Before she left us, Tracy told us, you're my sisters, and I want you guys to always be

41:28together, and I'm going to be okay.

41:30Don't worry about me.

41:31Even leaving this earth, she was worried about us.

41:35We can stand alone.

41:36Oh, my goodness.

41:40Look at us.

41:41I know the pain will never go completely away, but coming together, even partially for

41:48now, is a step in the right direction.

41:50All that really matters is family.

41:54Here's to the greatest women, the greatest family in the world.

42:00Look at God.

42:02To the Braxton.

42:04To the Braxton.

42:09Salute.

42:12The Braxton season one is a wrap.

42:15Time.

42:15Thank God.

42:24She ain't going nowhere.

42:25I love you so much.
