        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tamar Braxton&#8217;s &#8220;Love and War&#8221; relationship with WeTV is officially over.</p><p>The network released a statement Friday, obtained by Page Six, saying it &#8220;will work with her representatives to honor her request to end all future work for the network.&#8221;</p><p>Braxton&#8217;s recent suicide attempt and her preceding mental health struggles were — as she revealed in both a letter to the network and <strong>in an Instagram post Thursday</strong> —&nbsp;inextricable from her battles with the network. WeTV currently has two series from Braxton: &#8220;Braxton Family Values&#8221; — now in its seventh season — and the upcoming &#8220;Get Ya Life!&#8221;</p><p>Sources told Variety that <strong>Braxton, 43, is slated to make an appearance</strong> on at least a few more episodes of &#8220;Braxton Family Values,&#8221; which had started production before her recent struggles. &#8220;Get Ya Life!&#8221; had <strong>already been delayed earlier this week</strong> based on Braxton&#8217;s situation, but Variety&#8217;s sources believe that all six episodes of the show&#8217;s completed first season will be airing as planned, starting Sept. 10.</p><p>&#8220;Tamar Braxton has been an important part of our network family for more than a decade,&#8221; WeTV&#8217;s statement reads. &#8220;As she focuses on her health and recovery at what is clearly a difficult and personal time, we will work with her representatives to honor her request to end all future work for the network. We wish her nothing but the best.&#8221;</p><p>Braxton <strong>aired a number of grievances against the network</strong> in a letter she sent to WeTV brass weeks before her suicide attempt, which Page Six exclusively reported on.</p><p>Braxton responded to a note the network sent outlining its efforts to support the black community, with a fiery missive that compared her TV bosses to &#8220;cruel white slave masters who once chained our forefathers, and the oppressive police forces that now terrorize our communities.</p><p>&#8220;I hope those ratings were worth it because you succeeded in destroying a great black family.”</p><p>She also blamed them for revealing the secret of her childhood sexual assault and rape &#8220;in front of my entire family and 100 crew members,&#8221; noting that she had previously kept it a secret from even her mother and that the resulting shame pushed her to ponder ending her life.</p><p>A family insider told Page Six that Braxton was also distraught over the choice of &#8220;Love and Hip Hop&#8221; producer Mona Scott Young to run &#8220;Get Ya Life!,&#8221; saying &#8220;Tamar felt ambushed … [by the hiring of] the person she said she did not want to work with.&#8221;</p><p><strong>In her Instagram post Thursday</strong>, Braxton says she was &#8220;betrayed, taken advantage of, overworked, and underpaid&#8221; by WeTV, and added that “Reality TV personalities have no union, no coat of protection, no formal representation that protects our labor, our rights, our voices,&#8221; before pledging to fight for ethical business practices in reality TV.</p><p>Variety notes that Tamar &#8220;has been up until now the second-highest-paid talent in the history of WE tv, behind only her sister Toni.&#8221;</p><p><strong>Tamar was hospitalized</strong> on July 16 for what was initially believed to have been a drug overdose.</p>]]></content:encoded>
