Tamar Braxton Reveals She ‘Almost Died’ 2 Days Ago, Was Found in a ‘Pool of Blood’ by Friend

Tamar Braxton is recovering after a frightening near-death experience.

The 48-year-old singer revealed on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Aug. 19, that she had suffered a serious accident over the weekend. She shared details of her injuries and explained that she had been found 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,” she wrote. “I almost died Sunday. I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury.”

“As the days go by the worse it is,” she continued. “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 💔💔.”

Braxton included the song Spirit Lead Me by Clavier in the background of her Instagram post. She later shared a passage from the Bible, Proverbs 31, which honors strong women.

Earlier on Tuesday, she posted a quote expressing gratitude for simply being alive: “Thank you God for waking me up today.”

Earlier this year, Tamar had shared her plans to focus on her health before her ongoing tour. On March 23, she wrote on Instagram alongside a video of her performing her 2013 song Stay and Fight:

“It is OFFICIALLY tour time!!!! Ima tell yall to get yall tickets!! A whole new set list… and the new music STARTS HERE!!!”

In another post, she shared a photo of herself on a scale, which read 153.3 lbs, and vowed to prioritize her health while preparing for the tour. “Bday is over so no more drinks…. No more carbs… all body and VOICE!!!” she said. “Me and my brother @octoberlondon are going to give you a night you won’t forget❤️😍🍀✨ see ya soon🏆.”

Tamar recently appeared on TV with her sisters in the WEtv reality series, The Braxtons, which aired last year. She joined Toni, Trina, Towanda, and family matriarch Dr. Evelyn “Miss E” Braxton to honor their sister Traci, who passed away in 2022 from esophageal cancer.

“The main reason for wanting to do The Braxtons again is because of Traci,” Toni said in a trailer for season 1. “She asked us to do this — this was her last wish,” Miss E added.

The family had previously starred together on Braxton Family Values. WEtv has renewed Season 2 of The Braxtons.

In April, the Braxtons celebrated what would have been Traci’s 54th birthday with touching tributes. Tamar shared a clip on Instagram showing a crowd holding up flashlights as Traci’s hit single Last Call played.

“Happy Heavenly Birthday beautiful @therealtracibraxton,” Tamar wrote. “We miss you down here sis!! But I know God didn’t want to see you sick like that, so he brought you home to himself to heal you ❤️. Thank you for being an amazing sister and covering all of us down here🙏🏼✨.”
