Tamar Braxton Axed From The Real

Tamar Braxton's time on The Real was coming to an end anyway. That ghetto persona can only take you so far.

Social media has been burning up with reports of Tamar Braxton being axed from The Real. There's conflicting stories on how she was fired with some people saying she was let go due to her bad attitude and others saying she cussed out sponsors and Telepictures network executives. Telepictures is the production company that produces The Real talk show. Reports of Tamar not identifying with working & educated women and being overly ghetto have also been rumored to be the result of her being let go. Here's my thought: Tamar has always been ghetto from Day 1, so I fault The Real for bringing her on as a talk show host. Network executives should have known how she was before hiring her. Tamar's being true to herself: Outspoken, loud & ghetto. Tamar's firing proves one thing: When you're on national TV, all eyes are on you. Sponsors and executives are paying attention to what you say and do, and if they see you're a threat to their bottom line, you're done. At the same time, maybe producers gave Tamar repeated warnings to tone down her ghettoness before she's let go, we'll never know. Make it so bad, The Real cast just got finished with a promo shoot for the upcoming season and Tamar's colleagues get word of Tamar's termination. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
