        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Weeks before Tamar Braxton&#8217;s <strong>apparent attempt to take her own life</strong>, the singer-turned-reality-star sent an excoriating email to her network&#8217;s bosses, accusing them of destroying her family and making her &#8220;suicidal,&#8221; Page Six has learned.</p><p>At the height of the unrest over the killing of George Floyd, WeTV execs sent an email to employees — including Braxton and her family, who have appeared on the network&#8217;s reality shows for more than a decade — outlining the company&#8217;s efforts to support the Black community.</p><p>Braxton — who&#8217;s in a stable condition after <strong>apparently attempting suicide on Thursday night</strong> — responded with a message, seen by Page Six, explaining that her family is in &#8220;disarray.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;We fight with each other, we betray each other, and now we&#8217;re physically assaulting each other — all happening because your show [&#8220;Braxton Family Values&#8221;] has chosen to show the absolute worst side of a strong, independent and successful African American family; a show that I created to showcase a strong Black Family as a beacon of hope for all the young black girls and boys out there; instead you coached and cajoled us into finding the worst in each other.&#8221;</p><p>Likening the network to &#8220;cruel white slave masters who once chained our forefathers, and the oppressive police forces that now terrorize our communities,&#8221; she added, &#8220;I hope those ratings were worth it because you succeeded in destroying a great black family.&#8221;</p><p>Meanwhile, she said that &#8220;the final stake into the heart of my family&#8221; was &#8220;the day you dug up a secret I&#8217;d never shared with anyone, a secret I was so ashamed to talk about that I hid it even from my own mom: the fact that I had been assaulted and raped repeatedly from age 6 to age 16, sometimes multiple times a day.&#8221; Braxton said that producers had &#8220;exposed it on your show in front of my entire family and 100 crew members.&#8221; She added, &#8220;You broke me that day and I considered ending my own life then for the shame I felt!&#8221;</p><p>She ended the email, &#8220;I have news for you! Today, I take my power back. I will no longer tolerate being oppressed. I am asking you to break the chains NOW and LET ME GO I am suffocating! I CAN&#8217;T BREATHE!!&#8221;</p><p>When we put it to WeTV that its behavior had made Braxton suicidal, a rep told us only, &#8220;We are keeping her and her family in our thoughts and prayers and joining with her fans sending strength and healing at this difficult time.&#8221;</p><p>A family insider also told us that Braxton was unhappy that the network had selected &#8220;Love and Hip Hop&#8221; producer Mona Scott Young to produce Braxton&#8217;s new show, &#8220;Tamar Braxton: Get Ya Life.&#8221; &#8220;Tamar felt ambushed,&#8221; said an insider, &#8220;She was invited to the network to have a meeting to talk about the show and the premise of the show&#8230; and right there sitting down is Mona. The person she said she did not want to work with.&#8221;</p><p>When we put it to Scott Young that Braxton&#8217;s family members felt that her work on the show contributed to Braxton&#8217;s unhappiness in the weeks before her suicide, she responded, &#8220;My thoughts and prayers are with Tamar and her family during this very difficult time.&#8221;</p><p>Reps for Braxton didn&#8217;t comment.</p>]]></content:encoded>
