Now isn’t this interesting. The Braxton sisters are still hot on the promo trail for the new season of their hit show, “Braxton Family Values”, and recently sat for an interview with Atlanta’s own Art Terrell (KISS 104). No question was off limits and of course the convo switched to Towanda and her failed marriage to husband Andre Carter. In case you haven’t been keeping up with the show, Towanda and Andre are seperated, yet still live together. You can sense the tension and distance whenever these two have to share a scene. Keeping reading for Towanda’s response to why she won’t just end the couple’s misery and get a divorce.
On why she continues to bring Andre around her family:
Well you know, me being on the road all the time with my sisters and filming and stuff, I needed someone there of course with my kids and if I’m not there, their father should be there. That’s it.
On saying they are seperated but not “acting” seperated:
Absolutely with the kids it’s a together thing. We do things together. But as far as our marriage, we’re separated. I think that because you are separated or you’re not with that person, you don’t have to be mean and nasty. It doesn’t have to be ugly. Because when mommy and daddy separated and got a divorce it affected us and I don’t want that to ever happen to my kids. So what they see is that their mother loves them and that their father loves them. We don’t argue in front of the kids, they don’t see no type of division, so that’s what I want my children to see.
On being “seperated” but still living together:
I tell you what, there is so many people now who are going through the same thing that I am going through because of the recession, because of the economy. I’m telling you, it has affected so many people.
Wait, did I miss something?! Is there no money in reality television anymore? Towanda is making money off of this show, she has the money to move out if she wants to, so why doesn’t she? What are your thoughts? Do you think keeping up appearances “for the kids” is smart in the long run? Speak on it.
All new episodes of BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES air Thursdays at 9/8c on WE TV.
The recession?….Girl, bye..
Recession……Now this man would have been gone along time ago like Tamar said “HE IS A BABYSITTER”
This guy is a loser and a jerk, apparently his self esteem is lower than low can get and besides if he does disappear he will not be able to spend her money, on the flipside it is good to have a babysitter who you already no.
HER FAILED MARRIAGE IS DUE TO HER HUSBAND JUST NOT BEING THAT INTO HER, NOT THE RECESSION. HAVE SEVERAL SEATS!
THATS A MESS THE NORMAL BLACK MAN WITH NO EDUCATION LEAVING OFF HIS WOMEN ITS A SHAME HOW MAJORITY OF BLACK MEN DONT HAVE JOBS AND ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE GOING FOR THEM SELVES TO GENERATE INCOME FOR THERE FAMILY THIS DUDE A FREAKING JOKE SO IS HER MANLY ASS FOR PUTTING UP WITH IT HE CAN GO STAY WITH A FAMILY MEMBER MOMMA DADDY BROTHER OR SISTERS COUSIN LONG LOST FREIND BUT HE CHOOSING TO STAY CLOSE THE BRAXTON DYNASTY(MONEY) AND TOWANDA UGLY ASS DONT SEE IT SHE NEED TO BE WITHOUT A JOB TOO FOR ACCEPTING SOME CRAP LIKE THIS HE DONT HAVE STILL BE STAYING WITH HER THATS A SHAME
Towanda is ugly as hell. I don’t know how she is even related to her sisters. Toni, Tamar, Trina and Traci are beautiful so how did Mama Evelyn end up having a ugly daughter. Damn she is UGLY!!!!! in the words of Shug Avery, “You sure is ugly!” hahaha
I get sick & tired of network television trying to make black men out to be bums.There are a lot of unemployed white men as well that are home with the kids. No one calls them bums though, just family men. Also, there is a lot that’s edited from the show. One has to exercise common sense when viewing.
It seems to me Andre is doing something for himself, writing books. He has a few of them published too. There is a deeper reason why she hasn’t totally left him. “She knows he has potential” Instead of complaining, she should help her man accomplish his dreams of writing.That’s what being married is, for better or worse. I’m going to love to see the looks on everyones face that calls him a bum when he publishes a successful book, including Towanda herself. I don’t think she’s a bad person, nor is she ugly. she just needs better relationship skills. @HanDSoMeClaRk
Towanda is definitely NOT ugly. She looks like Nefertiti. I swear Google Nefertiti and you will see the resemblance. All she needs to do is leave that sorry excuse for a husband and she will be set to meet another man worthy of her.
