Family Legacy

♪♪
Hey, nephew.
Woman: This is a prepaid call
from Kevin,
an inmate at the
County Correctional Facility.
Are you okay?
♪♪
Miss E:
The loss of his mother
Maybe that's why he and his wife
are having problems.
But he doesn't speak to his dad
as much either.
What?
I didn't know that.
How's your book going?
I'm giving the perspective
of somebody
who is in active therapy
because I can't figure it out
by myself.
Scratchy is out of jail,
but he didn't call me
to let me know he was released,
I mean, nothing.
Something
must have happened.
When we just lay eyes on
Little Kevin, I'll feel better.
♪♪
Who?
♪♪
Toni:
The situation with Kevin Jr.
seems to be getting worse
by the day.
Me and Aunt Trina
are gonna come see you.
We can figure it all out.
♪♪
♪♪
Man: All right, ladies and
gentlemen, it's almost time.
The living room
is ready to go.
Rolling in five.
♪♪
Thanks, honey.
I think this is it. See,
open this door, huh?
No, you go ahead.No, yougo ahead.
You go ahead. Open the door.You go ahead. No, you go.
-Okay.
-Oh, okay.
Okay.
Von: Thank you, sir.
Sean: This is nice, man.
It's good.It's not bad.
Yeah, yeah.
We are back in the DMV "ur-rea,"
as Traci would say.
And we always know
how to have fun here
because this is home, you know?
But we're here to check on
Little Kevin
because he's still grieving.
Rightfully so,
'cause he just lost his mom.
And he's going through a nasty,
nasty divorce.
So since he likes to withdraw
and not ask for help,
we are planning on having
a dinner
to really rally the family
around him
to show him
that he's not alone.
What's over here?Towanda: I wonder.
Oh, the washer and dryer.Oh, washer and dryer.
Both: Same time. Knock on wood.
You owe me a vodka.
Same time. Knock on wood.
You owe me a
a martinia gin.
No.
I said gin.
You said a martini.
Martini can be mixed
with stuff.
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
When we say things at the same
time, we say, "Same time,
knock on wood, you owe me a"
whatever the case may be.
So if I say, "Same time, knock
on wood,
you owe me a lemon drop,"
and she says, "Same time,
knock on wood,
you owe me a vodka," she wins,
because vodka just by itself
has a you know,
a higher count
than a lemon drop.
It's hard to explain
if you're not us, but we get it.
[Laughs]
Sean: I just have one fear.Okay.
I just don't want to see Von
butt naked
with some tube socks on.
I just can't.
First of all, Von does
not even wear tube socks.
I was about to say.
I can't guarantee you
I won't walk walk
through this bitch
buck naked at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.We staying at a hotel, honey.
I'm just saying.I'm gonna book it right now.
As you should.I need some water
Oh, no. We booking it.
And then we can have
the whole place to
Oh, yes.
Yes. You can be naked
with tube socks all you want.
Yes, 'cause we like
walking around our way, too.
Yes.
No, don't nobody want to watch
Von walk
around the corner
butt-ass naked,
open up the refrigerator.
Don't nobody want to see that.
Talking about "[As Von] You
want some breakfast?"
[Normal voice] Nope.
Mnh-mnh.
Where your ring it?
He lost it.
I didn't lose it.
How'd you lose it?
I didn't lose it.
So that's not what happened.
What happened?You couldn't find it?
That's not what happened.
What happened?
If you can't find it Let him talk.
No. Let Let me tell. Let
me you what really happened.Okay.
So there was some function
she had where I wore it.Mm-hmm.
And I bumped my hand
or something, and it cut me.
So I took it off,
and I can't find it.
Oh, so you lost it.He lost it.
It's It's someplaceSean: Bro.
That's the definition of
"I lost it."
I didn't lose it.
It's someplace in the house.What?
It can't be in the house
if you just said
you took it off
at the event.
I put it off
I put it in my pocket.
-How long ago was that?
-Towanda, it's been a while.
It was
this calendar year.
I You know what?
I'm just gonna find it.
You lost it.
Find it
and shut all y'all up.
Just Just get another ring.
Men's rings aren't expensive.
But if you get another ring,
I get another ring.
Just putting that out there.
So I know
that we all know
that Scratchy
has been going through a lot.
Who's that?Kevin.
I call him Scratchy.Oh, it's a nickname?
She calls him Scratchy.I've been calling him Scratchy
since he was little kid.Never heard that. Okay.
'Cause when
he started talking,
his voice was scratchy.[Scratchy voice]
He used to talk like this.
Mm. Gotcha.So I called him Scratchy.
Yeah. So I'm excited to see
where Little Kevin is.
But maybe we need to do
something fun, too.
Sean: Yeah.Like go go-kart racing
or something like that.
Before we talk about
the hard stuff.
Yes, yes. I booked it, honey.
We got it.
Growing up in Maryland, we used
to go go-karting all the time.
So I thought it'd be fun
to do something
that reminds us of Traci
while we're here.
Let's go check into
our hotel.
That's, like,
seven minutes away.
Yeah. So we don't see tube socks
and and balls.
Mm-hmm. And then, Trina,
well, I'll be back.
Disgusting, Sean.
Disgusting.
Why is
his balls disgusting to you?
[Laughs]
I be riding around
the city with my Range Rover ♪
Girl, I know you looking at
me, baby, say so ♪
Be like suicide
All these girls want me
Shorty looking back
Toni: Hey, Tri.
So you guys in D.C. now?
Trina: Yeah, we gonna spend
some time
with Daddy and Little Mikey,
L-Little K.
Little Kevin.
How is he doing?
You know,
I'm worried about him.
And I know
he's going through a lot.
I don't know
how we can help him.
Definitely worried
about Little Kevin.
And I'm excited about
laying eyes on him.
You know what I mean?
'Cause sometimes when you
talk to someone on the phone,
still don't know
unless you lay
visible eyes
on them sometimes, so
I agree, I agree.
Well, I'm just gonna ask.Mm-hmm.
Do y'all think y'all
maybe should talk to his dad?
Uh, that's a big negative,
soldier.
I meanI can't.
Are Are you
Are you willing to?
Yeah.
I can understand that
no one
really wants to talk to
Little Kevin's father,
because there was a pretty
public rift between our side
of the family and him
right after Traci passed.
We understood from Traci
herself that she didn't
She didn't want a funeral,
and she wanted to stay private
for that part of her passing.
But Traci's husband decided
to have a funeral anyway
and put it on the Internet.
And you never know.
A marriage is a private affair,
so you never know what Traci
and her husband talked about.
Or maybe he needed that
for himself.
So I got to be fair about that.
But I'm just saying
maybe it's worth finding out
more information of
why Little Kevin is estranged
from his father,
so we can help him find peace,
whatever that means,
whatever that is,
for Little Kevin.
I feel some kind of way
about everything that happened,
but I don't know.
I would just like to know.
There is a curiosity there.
We heard Traci.
He chose what he wanted
for himself
personally
over what she wanted.
But we don't know
what goes on in a marriage.
We don't know what him
and Traci talked about.
We don't know. We don't.Girl, yes, I Yes, I do.
Yes, I do, yes, I do.
Okay.
Because I was right there
in the room when she passed.
I was right there
in the room.
There was
no conversation.
There was no talk.
She wasn't even able to.
Toni has always tried to be
the peacekeeper of the family,
and it's probably
because she's the oldest.
But I'm in no way
in the right frame of mind
to meet with Traci's widower.
I think that if that's something
that you guys want to do,
then go ahead.No, it has to be all of us.
Let's agree to disagree,
but agree to discuss it.
♪♪
Right now,
I'm not for it.
But together as a family,
we can talk about it.
Okay,
I'll I'll take that.
Toni Braxton, bless your heart
and all your parts
for trying to make peace
with this man.
But good luck trying to convince
us all, Toni Braxton.

Phil:

because obviously
the cameras are here
Why the decision
to return to the show?
Oh
Last time we talked,
y'all were gonna take it
another step.
I got my little plan
I'm working on.
I visited your mother
about who she wanted to control
her image, brand,
and likeness.Mm-hmm.

when "Braxton Family Values"
was on television,
Sean went to go talk to Daddy
about your hand in marriage.
You did?
Yes.
You did that?
Huh?
[Towanda and Trina laugh]
All I know is that when we
last shot
"Braxton Family Values,"
Sean asked my father
for Towanda's hand in marriage.
You know, me and Towanda have
been kicking it for a long time.
So I was coming
to ask you for your blessing.
You really don't want
my blessing,
because if I say no,
you're gonna marry her anyway.

you're not playing on eating it.

No.Or would you do
the whole grandiose
wedding thing?
No. [Laughs]
People keep asking me,
"What are your feelings
about Sean proposing?"
That's not a question
that you need to ask me.
That's the question
that you need to ask Sean.
Because first of all,
I can't propose myself.
And I'm never, ever, never,
ever, ever,
ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
ever, never,
ever pushing any man to propose.
That's the worst thing
that you could ever do.
So you went to talk to him

I was one of the people
who showed up for them.
And to 100 milli.Cheers.
Okay, you guys deserve it.Got to go with it.
Wouldn't miss it.
It just felt right to do the
100th episode because, you know,
from the time
that I did the show,
it wasn't very well known,
to one
of the biggest music-related
podcasts that is out right now.
So, Tay, what are you
working on these days?
What are you excited about?

She got a whole bunch

Candles?
Well, the candle line is is
very near and dear to my heart.
It's called Intentions by TB.Okay.
My spiritual candles became
very close to me
when, you know, I became
aware of my mental journey
Mm.
and I started to set
intentions on what I wanted
my life to look like.
And so these are intentional
candles that you burn.
And there is also a stone.
And it's just to, you know
to remind yourself to pray
over what you want to manifest.
I love that.
I just want to say this.
I've appreciated
how you've been candid
about just your mental health
and everything
that you've gone through.
Yeah.'Cause for me,
like, it helps to kind of put
a lot of the music into context.
We can kind of connect
a certain song to something
that she might have
spoken on previously.Yeah.
So I appreciate you
for that. So, yeah.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.Man: A true artist.
Yeah, man.
Man #2: Yeah.
Well, you know,
the truth about mental health
is that it shouldn't be
a silent thing.
You know? 'Cause when
you're silent
silent about it,
that's when it kills you.
Mm-hmm.
You know?
And, you know, we have to
normalize talking about things
that bother us and talking about
things that no one wants to say.

Even when I want to quit,
I don't want to quit.
Man: Mm-hmm.Does that make sense?

If I'm supposed to stop,
then I wouldn't be here.Phil: Right.
Right.
And then it's also my son.
I also want to be
a good example for him.
Mm-hmm.
Not just
from a woman's standpoint,
but from a human being.
If there's nobody else
in the world
that he can look up to, I need
him to be able to look up to me.
-Wow.
-That's good.
And I deserve, you know,
to be proud of myself.
At the end of the day,
I deserve to be happy.
Chuck: 100%.So I can't be happy
about my life if I'm not proud
of myself.
-Yeah.

Phil:

They're "The Braxtons"

Why the decision

Um
Well, it became
important to my family.
It was really important
for Traci to tell her story.
I remember
when she was on her deathbed.
She wanted people
to see her journey
and what she was going through.
I told her then
that I would do it.
Then when the rest
of my family signed up,
my mom really came to me humbly
and asked me to do it for her.Chuck: So you were the last
And I just didn't want
any more regrets.
Yeah.You know?
So you So you were
the last one on board?
Yeah.
And as amazing "The Braxtons"
was for everyone

-Yeah.
for me,
that wasn't my story.
Mm-hmm.
For me,
it was another story.
For me, it was a lot,
and mentally draining.
I was like, "So when is
everybody gonna get
to know the real Tamar?Man: Right, right.
When is that gonna happen?"
I miss the funny moments.
The funny moments
of the the songs.

Like, how do you How
do you protect your mental,

Well, I protect my mental space
no matter what
no matter what I'm doing.
And so I know that I am highly
and easily triggered,
right, by this show,
by by my sisters,
by what we talk about.
So there is a therapist
on set
Man: On set.
whenever I step on setMm. That's good.
because I can't lose control

Is that on every set
or is that
Is that, like,
a special demand?

It depends on the show

the individuals involved.
But to me, it's necessary.
It's a lot.

Especially when, you know,
you feel that,
you know, the picture
that is being painted
looks nothing like you.Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Okay.
Trina: The purpose of visiting
with Attorney Weems' office
is to clarify a few things that
were outlined in Traci's will.
Last time I saw you,
we were here because I came
to take you to the courthouse
Kevin Jr.: Mm-hmmto probate
your mother's will.
There's still some issues
between, I guess,
how my father feels
and how I feel.
Tell me a little bit
about that.
I guess he feels, like, I won't
say blindsided,
but it's not, like It's
not done the right way.
So I think that it's just hard
for him to understand,
like, why did she put
everything in my hands?
So I think that's
the biggest thing that he has.
It kind of hurts me.
I feel like she was
in her right mind.
And, like, do you feel as though
she was okay at that time?
I visited your mother
before she began to decline.
And a lot of people
don't know this,
but your mother gave
me permission to record her.
And I did.
So you recorded
the whole conversation?
Every time.
Maybe she believed
that somebody was going to,
in some way, challenge it.

she was doing
about who she wanted to be
her executor
and who she wanted to control
her image, brand, and likeness.

Antavius visited Traci
on several occasions
when she was,
in fact, in her right mind.
How do I know?
I was there.
And the only caveat
in there was,
she wanted to make sure
that you were ready.
There were certain things
that Traci wanted to keep
between Traci and her attorney,
but Traci was absolutely
in her right mind.
She trusted me so much
with her legacy
that she would put it
in my hands?
This is stuff she
she told me when I was younger.
Really?
Right.
So this is no surprise
to you?
It wasn't a surprise to me.
She was like, "If something
ever happened to me,
I'm putting everything
in your name."
The only thing
that kind of changed for me is
when she said she didn't want
a funeral service or or
viewing.
She did not want a service.
She didn't want her sorority
or any other organization
to do a memorial.
Not because she
didn't love them,
but she said,
"I don't want people
to have to grieve that hard
looking down on me.
The people I love,
I want them to be
able to go celebrate," 'cause,
you know,
your mom was down for a party.

Or maybe he needed that
for himself.
So I got to be fair about that.
But I'm just saying
maybe it's worth finding out
more information of
why Little Kevin is estranged
from his father,
so we can help him find peace,
whatever that means,
whatever that is,
for Little Kevin.
I feel some kind of way
about everything that happened,
but I don't know.
I would just like to know.
There is a curiosity there.
We heard Traci.
He chose what he wanted
for himself
personally
over what she wanted.
But we don't know
what goes on in a marriage.
We don't know what him
and Traci talked about.
We don't know. We don't.Girl, yes, I Yes, I do.
Yes, I do, yes, I do.
Okay.
Because I was right there
in the room when she passed.
I was right there
in the room.
There was
no conversation.
There was no talk.
She wasn't even able to.
Toni has always tried to be
the peacekeeper of the family,
and it's probably
because she's the oldest.
But I'm in no way
in the right frame of mind
to meet with Traci's widower.
I think that if that's something
that you guys want to do,
then go ahead.No, it has to be all of us.

Who's there?
Hey.
Hey. Hey, y'all.
And Little Kevin.
Trina: Today I am meeting
with Little Kevin
and attorney
Antavius Weems.
He has been a family attorney
for a very long time.
Over here?Oh, wherever you want to be,
wherever you want to be,
I'm just gonna
Okay.
Trina: The purpose of visiting
with Attorney Weems' office
is to clarify a few things that
were outlined in Traci's will.
Last time I saw you,
we were here because I came
to take you to the courthouse
Kevin Jr.: Mm-hmmto probate
your mother's will.
There's still some issues
between, I guess,
how my father feels
and how I feel.
Tell me a little bit
about that.
I guess he feels, like, I won't
say blindsided,
but it's not, like It's
not done the right way.
So I think that it's just hard
for him to understand,
like, why did she put
everything in my hands?
So I think that's
the biggest thing that he has.
It kind of hurts me.
I feel like she was
in her right mind.
And, like, do you feel as though
she was okay at that time?
I visited your mother
before she began to decline.
And a lot of people
don't know this,
but your mother gave
me permission to record her.
And I did.
So you recorded
the whole conversation?
Every time.
Maybe she believed
that somebody was going to,
in some way, challenge it.
She knew exactly what
she was doing
about who she wanted to be
her executor
and who she wanted to control
her image, brand, and likeness.
Mm-hmm.And that was one person.
♪♪
Antavius: Your mother,
she was incredibly confident
about who she wanted to be
her executor.
And that was one person.
♪♪
Me.
It was you.
Yeah.
And your mother was
absolutely lucid.
Your mom stood in her kitchen
and cooked me oxtails.
Mmm
The famous oxtails.The famous oxtails.
And the curry chicken.
Antavius visited Traci
on several occasions
when she was,
in fact, in her right mind.
How do I know?
I was there.
And the only caveat
in there was,
she wanted to make sure
that you were ready.
There were certain things
that Traci wanted to keep
between Traci and her attorney,
but Traci was absolutely
in her right mind.
She trusted me so much
with her legacy
that she would put it
in my hands?
This is stuff she
she told me when I was younger.
Really?
Right.
So this is no surprise
to you?
It wasn't a surprise to me.
She was like, "If something
ever happened to me,
I'm putting everything
in your name."
The only thing
that kind of changed for me is
when she said she didn't want
a funeral service or or
viewing.
She did not want a service.
She didn't want her sorority
or any other organization
to do a memorial.
Not because she
didn't love them,
but she said,
"I don't want people
to have to grieve that hard
looking down on me.
The people I love,
I want them to be
able to go celebrate," 'cause,
you know,
your mom was down for a party.
My father, you know,
me being married,
I-I can understand where
where it's kind of a difficulty,
but I got borninto this
family.
You got married
into this family.
I mean,
you have the lineage.
You have the bloodline.Yeah.
And you have grown incredibly
since I've I've seen you.
Right? I did
I didn't even expect this.
Not outwards. It's just
just the the mental.
Yes.
She knew you had it
in you.
She's smiling right now.
She is smiling.
Trina: Attorney Weems
has really armed Kevin
with a lot of knowledge,
clarity, and information
to get some understanding about
why Traci did things the way
she did for Little Kevin.
Any time you can hear
something from someone
who can remove themselves
from a situation
is always a good thing.
I'm putting y'all out.You're kicking us out?
Yep. Okay.Putting out and kicking out
are two different things.Two different things.
You've been put out by

We heard Trina had
an interesting day today.
Very, very, very much so.
So can you fill us in?
What happened?
So in a in a nutshellMm-hmm.
in Trina's opinion, it's
a tug-of-war of who's
in control.Power.
It just feels
like his dad blames him
That Traci made the choices
that she made.
It wasn't that our sister was
on her deathbed
and then decided to make
these decisions.No.
She made these decisionsWhen she was
years
before she was even sick.
Yep. Yep.Way before she was even
diagnosed
with having esophageal cancer.
You just mad,
for whatever reason
That she didn't choose you
That she didn't choose youto be that person.
And there's a reason.But how are dare you?
You lived your life.
Let this
Let Let the baby live his.
Oh, and I'm gonna
tell you what Little Kevin said.
Hmm?
And I was so proud of him
for saying this.
He said, "My dad marriedinto
this family,
but I was borninto it."Come on!
Yes, nephew, yes!That is what Little Kevin said.
He said those words.
Yes!
Oh, he got the blood running
through his veins.
Exactly. Exactly.Come on.
In my opinion,
his dad is just a little
jealous that Traci
put him in the will
the way that she put him
in the will.
He was I think he believes
that it should have been him.
That's it.
You know, earlier today,
production wanted
Little Kevin to film
with his dad and our dad.
But I'm not sure what
that was going to
Wait a minute.
Because I'm
I'm gonna be honest
I made it very clear
I'm not trying
to give a platform for his dad

shape, or form,
