Tamar Braxton Revealed She “Almost Died” and Has No Recollection of What Happened

Singer Tamar Braxton has often shared her battles as much as she has celebrated her professional wins. Whether she's inspiring her fans onstage or discussing her personal life on her family's reality show, The Braxtons, Tamar isn't afraid to keep it real, and we love her for it.

While the "Love and War" singer is typically an open book, she has privately dealt with multiple life-threatening health scares. Here's what she's said about her life's challenges.

In August 2025, Tamar took to her Instagram Stories to share with her fans that she was recovering from a near-death experience. She revealed in the post that a friend found her in a pool of blood.

"I struggled to write this, but everyone keeps calling me, and honestly, I can’t even really talk anymore. I’m so weak,” Tamar wrote. “I almost died Sunday. I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury.”

Tamar further shared that her road to recovery hadn't been easy. She also admitted she didn't recall how the accident happened.

“As the days go by, the worse it is,” she added. “I fractured my nose, lost some teeth, and mobility. The way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend, my mental journey begins. Pray for me for real. I don’t even know what happened to me."

Tamar received multiple well-wishes from her fans underneath her Instagram feed posts. Before disclosing her health scare, she reposted a page of the Bible on her Instagram Stories showing Proverbs 31, which is a passage about strong women. Tamar also expressed how grateful she was to have survived the horrific ordeal.

"Thank you, God, for waking me up today,” she said.

Tamar's August 2025 incident reminded her fans, affectionately named "Tamartians," of another scary moment in her career. In 2020, her then-boyfriend, , found her unconscious. He called 911, and reports suggest that Tamar had taken an unknown number of prescription pills and combined them with alcohol. The LAPD also confirmed that they had received a call at roughly 9:45 pm on July 15 about a possible overdose.

Tamar's spokesperson released a statement, saying that more details about the situation would be available in the days ahead.

“Tamar has had a very tough and emotional day – more information will be coming in the next few days," the spokesperson said. "Please pray for her.”

While concern about Tamar was naturally high as a result of this news, this was not the first time the singer and reality star had made headlines for behavior that was viewed as erratic.

Tamar said that she received concern from her family a couple of years ago after she decided to shave her head. 

“My family did get on me; it was a natural reaction with my sisters and girlfriends,” she told Page Six this year. “They were like, ‘Girl, what you are you going through? Are you all right? Do I need to come see you? Do you need some help? When was the last time you ate?’ I got all of that.” 

Tamar is a successful R&B singer who has released four albums. The most recent was 2017's "Bluebird of Happiness." In addition to her work in music, she's also co-starred on a reality series focused on her family called Braxton Family Values since 2011. The show was canceled in 2020 and later returned to WeTV as The Braxtons. Tamar also co-hosted the daytime talk show The Real for three years until she was fired in 2016. She also won the second season of Celebrity Big Brother in 2019.
