Singer Tamar Braxton reveals she 'almost died' after bloody facial injury

Aug. 19, 2025Updated Aug. 20, 2025, 7:12 a.m. ET

Tamar Braxton is coping with a recent health scare.

The "Celebrity Big Brother" winner, 48, took to her Instagram story on Aug. 19 to share that she'd broken her nose, lost "some teeth" and experienced impaired mobility over the weekend.

"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," she wrote."

"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.”

USA TODAY has reached out to Braxton's representative for comment.

Tamar Braxton attends the 2025 Essence Festival of Culture Ernest N. Morial Convention Center on July 5, 2025, in New Orleans.

Braxton, who hosts MTV's "Caught in the Act: Double Life," has a history of being open about her physical and mental struggles.

As she competed on Season 21 of "Dancing with the Stars" in 2015, Braxton had to drop out of the competition after being hospitalized. What she'd thought was pneumonia was diagnosed as blood clots in her lungs.

Years later, she spoke out against "toxic" forces in the television industry in 2020. After nearly a decade of starring on We TV's "Braxton Family Values" alongside her mother Evelyn and sisters, — Toni, Traci, Towanda, and Trina Braxton — she claimed she was "betrayed, taken advantage of, overworked, and underpaid."

Braxton also mentioned her "cry for help" went unheeded, and she survived a suicide attempt. Soon after she made her story public, We TV said it would "honor her request to end all future work for the network."
