The Braxton family has returned to reality TV with season two of their hit show<\/a> The Braxtons with more drama and revelations than before. Titled \u201cNew Hustles, Old Wounds,\u201d the first episode centers around Tamar Braxton who sits down with their niece Ashlee.<\/p>\n The premiere picked up amid family controversy<\/a> after Ashlee claimed on social media that one of her aunt\u2019s ex-husbands sent her inappropriate messages when she was 16. According to her, the fallout strained her relationship with the unidentified aunt.<\/p>\n In an effort to open dialogue, Tamar met with Ashlee and invited her to share her story on her podcast, emphasizing that she could relate to feeling unsupported by the family. \u201cI\u2019ve been in Ashlee\u2019s shoes,\u201d Tamar admitted in a confessional. \u201cThe family didn\u2019t help me either.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Trina became emotional as she discussed the online criticism she received in the wake of Ashlee\u2019s claims \u2014 although it hasn\u2019t been made clear if she is the aunt in question.<\/p>\n Speaking candidly with Towanda, Trina expressed disappointment that Ashlee didn\u2019t reach out to her directly, noting that she had previously offered her support. Towanda pushed back, reminding her sister that the situation affected everyone involved and suggesting that the matter should have been handled privately rather than on a public platform.<\/p>\n Tamar gathered Ashlee, along with close friends James and Taz, to record the anticipated podcast episode. Before the microphones turned on, Tamar led a toast and a prayer, telling listeners that \u201cfamily secrets suck.\u201d As Ashlee prepared to tell her story, the episode ended on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers eager for what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n See Tamar prepping Ashlee below.<\/p>\n The incident that sparked the sit-down dates back to December 2024 when Ashlee, who is the daughter of their brother Michael Braxton Jr., came to social media with shocking allegations. In a two-part TikTok video, Ashlee explained that the situation began after she and her sister spent a summer with one of her aunts.<\/p>\n Once they returned home, she claimed the aunt\u2019s partner started sending her sexual text messages. \u201cWhen I leave her partner, her husband at the time, [he] decides to start sexting me. So, texting in a sexual manner,\u201d she recalled. \u201cThere was nothing physical that happened. Absolutely nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Ashlee, it was her stepmother who discovered the texts after looking through her phone. While she didn\u2019t name which aunt in her video, she said that her aunt was initially supportive.<\/p>\n \u201cMy aunt was there for me. She was very kind, very nice and was like \u2018I\u2019m so sorry that this happened to you.\u2019 She was very kind, and it just felt safe,\u201d Ashlee continued. \u201cBut then, as the years have gone by, it\u2019s like that mood and that assumption that I didn\u2019t do anything because I was a child was not that assumption anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n She also admitted that the shift in energy was painful and confusing for her. \u201cWhen I say all this is not a dig to my family member because it\u2019s really sad that she also was put in that situation of having to deal and having to handle,\u201d she added. \u201cI don\u2019t wish that upon anyone either. There\u2019s sympathy there, but there\u2019s also so many other aspects of it when you\u2019re a child and you\u2019re denied a voice.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not a space and place for me to trash\u00a0my family\u2019s name<\/a>. It\u2019s a space and place for me to talk about something I\u2019ve gone through and to be able to make light of a situation that a lot of us have gone through that were completely silenced,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd for the first time in a really long time, I just feel like I wanna help other people and I feel free.\u201d<\/p>\n Take a look at a clip from Tamar and Ashlee\u2019s sit-down above.<\/p>\n More from VIBE.com<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Vibe’s Newsletter<\/a>.
