      I can say through all the negativity on The Braxtons Show, I want to hear Mrs. E say, I’m going to pray for Big Kevin and Lil Kevin. They act like Kevin Sr. is a nobody and he doesn’t have feelings. I wonder at any time did they ask Traci’s husband , How are you, or even give him a hug. I’m so tired of Ms. E catch phrases, How Bout That or Look At God. With her being a Pastor and her husband give Kevin Sr. and Jr. words of encouragement. Tawanda cursed so bad in one episode till she looked demonic. I just pray for Kevin Sr. and Kevin Jr. that God gives them peace that surpasses all understanding. To fix everything that is broken. That he becomes a sweet, sweet spirit to them. God can do anything. Rest in Eternal Peace, Traci.

      @@stephaniebrodie5743 There is a LOT more to the story than just what you see. When you SEE 4 black women have DISDAIN for a certain man that is NOT by choice, by want, or for a STORYLINE. That is genuine disdain for ALL the WRONG he did to their sister that only they KNOW, SAW, and WERE TOLD BY TRACI. I watched this interview and to be honest as a mature woman married to a very successful and blessed black man that was blessed with the gift of maturity at a young age I can honestly say that this man sounds SLOW. Yeah I purposefully ignored his long fingernails, long sew in dread weave, slower way of thinking, etc when he appeared on Braxton Family Values because he was only a guest star on a few episodes but present day it is blatantly CLEAR any man 40 plus that states he is "bad with money" is slow because BLACK men do NOT have the luxury of being "bad with money". Every dollar, contract, cents, investment, deal, etc COUNTS for YOU and YOUR family and YOU better make sure your financial affairs are IN ORDER because there is NO SUCH thing as being "okay" or "everything will work itself house". You are either on the UP or the DOWN in life. I think he was pulling Traci down with his extra marital affairs, side children, baby mamma drama, debts, and bad financial decisions.

    I believe everything he says. No matter if you like him or not. If you agree with their marriage or not. Whether he cheated or not. Traci honored him as her husband and stayed married. She presented a united front. We watched him have her back, even against the sisters, and we watched Traci go to him for support. He was the family she chose. That deserves respect.

    Kevin Sr. advocated, supported, loved, and cheered for his beloved wife daily and I’m sure he did this even when the cameras weren’t rolling. Each and every episode is surrounded around their disdain for Kevin Sr. as they use Kevin Jr. as a pawn to support their tired, over-done, and ran in the ground narratives. Kevin and Traci’s marriage was the ONLY marriage that stood the test of time. Everyone else marriages fell apart one by one in front of our very eyes. This bad behavior does not honor Traci’s legacy, contributions, gifts, and love that she displayed in this world. Kevin Sr., I pray that God continues to sustain you and Kevin Jr. God we thank you for sharing Traci with us.

      My parents have been married about the same time and I disagree because marriage is NOT a reflection of "standing the test of times." Some people, like my parents, stay together because they are friends, they do not want to go through costly divorce proceedings, or they do not want to seriously put themselves out there to meet someone new. I think Traci's marriage was like that. They were friends but they were both "bad with money" then their future was destined to end in failure because you have no other choice but to be GOOD with money once you are 35 plus.

      The son is manipulated. Family needs both male and females members involved to be complete. Women were always meant to support and be the heart of the household but not to try and take the man's place and rule it with an iron fist. This is what Ms. E has taught her daughters and consequently they are all single mothers. Trina was married to my understanding 3x, tamar married and divorced 3x, toni divorced and never with a stable relationship, and Towanda might as well be a man herself. SMH. They can sing though.

    It’s unfortunate that many Black people may not understand the importance of taking care of themselves during times of grief. If this man chose to go downstairs, down the street, or miles away to prioritize his mental well-being, then good for him. It’s akin to putting on a life jacket; if you’re not okay, you can’t be a help to your dying loved one. Overeating, excessive drinking, and sleepless nights often stem from putting the needs of your loved one before your own, as you struggle to stay afloat. 😢 Kevin Sr. navigated this difficult time with awareness and intention.😢 It shouldn’t take dying to show up and support your love one. Be a presence in a love one’s life.

    Thank you Sharrell for doing this interview with Kevin Sr. I feel like the Braxton Family withe exception of Tracy’s father always treated her like “a special case”! Tracy was an Angel, in terms of her earnestly loving her entire family. When she was alive she clearly let it be known that no matter what her and her husband went through they loved each other. I feel like the Braxtons excluding her father treated her in a negative, dismissive, passive-aggressive manner!!! Tamar went out of her way to try and to antagonize Tracy to get a reaction and the run and cry victim!!! After she had antagonized Tracy to the limit! I’m glad for Tamar’s sake that she made amends to Tracy prior to her passing. I believe Tamar loved Tracy she was just grossly immature! Tracy forgave and always loved Tamar! I believe Kevin Sr. is experiencing the family’s misplaced anger because of their shortcomings in their treatment of Tracy when she was alive! I’m happy Tracy had her individual success with her album and performances as a social artist. Tracy had a beautiful voice and she was an exceptional talent! It would be nice if they could treat Tracy’s son and husband in love and respect which they didn’t show her but change their ways with the family she left behind. That would truly be healing for them as a whole family. I pray they right their path and not try and turn her son against his father. God will be watching their next steps.

    I think we dance around lil Kevin's state of mind. No one will call him slow. However, he's not treated as if he's a responsible adult. He comes off mentally as a kid. I do believe that Traci was cohearsed to putting lil Kevin in charge. Those responsible know that he's mentally, physically, and spiritually weak. If something happens to him, who will be in charge of Traci's estate? I really hope his dad has some prayer warriors praying over him. I don't trust that other family.

    To discount a husband/wife after losing the one they love is a REAL THING, I LOST all family ties, I too sat for hours when my grandma died, my mom was their initially but would not come to my grandmother, she left me there alone until my cousin came back, I didn't understand it still to this day

I believe because Traci had her OWN mind it cause a wedge between her and the sisters (how dare she not fall prey to mom) and because kevin stepped out of the marriage it gave them the ammunition to say well Traci has flaws in her marriage but she forgave and stayed i have followed this family its alot and what kevin and kj are going thru is what Traci went thru my prayers are for kevin and kj and may they get healing

      He really does because he has proof (the public will) that the Braxtons intentionally lied about Traci’s last wishes for a viewing to paint him as a villain. Then he should also sue them and the network for breach of contract since he had one in place to be on the show this season. The Braxton clan did not want the truth to come out so they blocked him. But, I doubt he’ll sue because his priority is to help Kevin Jr heal-so suing the Braxtons will just be more drama and fuel the fire for the Braxtons to further manipulate lil Kev. Sad.
