New Reality Show "The Braxton Sisters" Premieres April 12th, 2011
The Braxton Sisters Take Over WE tv with their Special Brand of Sisterly Love on New Original Reality Series, Premiering Tues 4/12 at 9pm ET/PT!

What
do you get when you mix a quintet of opinionated women with celebrity,
money and a television camera? You get WE tv's new 10 episode one-hour
original series, BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES, premiering Tuesday April 12 at
9pm ET/PT.
Join
Toni – “The Superstar”, Traci – “The Underdog,” Towanda – “Mrs.
Congeniality,” Trina – “The Wildcard,” Tamar – “Baby” and their
headstrong mother Evelyn – “The Force,” as they yell, cry and harmonize
their way across the Braxton family stage. These tight-knit
sisters are not afraid to reveal the intricacies of their sisterhood as
they battle it out for the spotlight with sibling rivalry, man drama,
bankruptcy, a DUI and much more. See if their sisterly bond can
withstand the trials and tribulations of life in the fab lane.
Like
their famous sister Toni Braxton, Traci, Towanda, Trina and Tamar were
all blessed with the gift of song and shared that gift as a group called
“The Braxtons,” managed by their mom Evelyn. Fast forward a few years,
and Toni Braxton is a mega-star with hit song after hit song and
too many accolades to count; Traci has an unexpected pregnancy; Towanda
decides to pursue acting; Trina becomes back-up for Toni and a
“wedding singer;” and Tamar strikes out on her own to chase her rising
star. Mom Evelyn also experienced change when she divorced the love of
her life, the girls’ father, for his chronic philandering. With their
worlds turned upside-down, and the meteoric rise of Toni’s fame, the family had to dramatically adjust to life after stardom.
Toni
Braxton is now fighting her way back to the top. After battling
debilitating illnesses that left her out of the spotlight, she’s looking
to regain her status in the industry. She enlists the help of her
sisters, but the drama they bring proves to be too much at times. As
Traci dreams of rejoining her famous sister on stage as a background
singer, Tamar wants nothing to do with the background. She wants to be
front and center and isn’t afraid to let everyone know that “doo-whoppin”
for Toni is not what she needs. Towanda wants nothing more than to
escape life as Toni’s assistant, but Toni doesn’t seem ready to give her
up and shuns any new assistant that she gets. Trina wants to be
respected for her choices as a musician, even if that includes
performing with a cover-band, but her sisters can’t believe that makes her happy and make fun of her for it.
As
if the sibling drama weren’t enough, the sisters have to deal with
turmoil erupting in their personal lives. From Toni’s bankruptcy
problems and Traci’s possessive husband to Towanda’s lackadaisical
marriage, Trina’s problem drinking and Tamar’s misdirected issues with
everyone – the trouble never ends with this bunch. Yet through it all,
they’ll have each other’s back and prove that even though they fight
hard, they love harder. BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES will unveil the realities
of sisterhood and dispel the myth that money solves everything.
