Tamar Braxton says she experienced a medical emergency that has left her shaken and recovering from serious injuries that include the loss of her teeth and a broken nose.
In an Aug. 19 post shared to her Instagram story, the “Love and War” singer and television personality shared that she “almost died” this week after a friend discovered her in a pool of her own blood.
The 48-year-old detailed her health scare in a message written over a gradient-colored background.
“I struggled to write this but everyone keeps calling me and honestly, I can’t even really talk anymore. I’m so weak,” her message begins. “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.”
While the singer did not share further details regarding what caused her physical injuries, she did open up about the emotional toll it has taken.
The extent of her injuries, which included a fractured nose, the loss of “some teeth” and mobility issues, has also affected her outlook.
“The way I look at life now is totally different.”
Despite the severity of the event, Braxton says her health is steadily improving.
“As my health is on the mend, my mental journey begins,” she continued. “Pray for me for real. I don’t even know what happened to me.”
Braxton has been open about her health history in the past. In 2021, she shared an update after she was hospitalized after she was found unresponsive.
“In this present moment, it is my only responsibility to be real with myself and to be real with the ones who truly love me and care for my healing,” she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram. “I have without fail, shared with you my brightest days, and I know that sharing with you what has been my darkest will be the light for any man or woman who is feeling the same defeat I felt just only a week ago.”
