‘Braxton Family Values’ Cast Refuse To Film Unless They Get More Money

Braxton Family Values is in the middle of season six, but the series is now on an indefinite break after the family decided – they will not continue taping until the network pays them what they are worth. The entire cast – sisters Tamar, Toni, Towanda, Traci, Trina, and mom Evelyn – will not shoot the second half of season six until WE TV and the Magical Elves production company renegotiate their contracts.
According to TMZ, only Traci showed up to the scheduled shoot in Atlanta last week, so WE TV sent the camera crew home and canceled taping. Sources say that the cast has a problem with their wardrobe and travel stipends. Apparently, they believe the low amount is laughable, plus they want their salaries increased to a more “appropriate” level.

They have not disclosed what their salaries or stipends are, and both WE TV and Magical Elves has not commented on the situation.
The Braxton’s are currently under contract until season nine, so they will have to return at some point, we just don’t know when that will be.
During the first part of season six, tensions were high among the sisters leading up to Toni’s wedding to Birdman. After her rapper boyfriend proposed, Toni asked Tamar to help her with the wedding planning. But mama Evelyn though Towanda would be a better option.

Toni is planning a Great Gatsby-themed wedding. She says that since this is her second wedding and she is over 40, she will keep it “elegant and a little sexy” like Carrie Bradshaw. But how long will we have to wait to see how the wedding planning is going?
Both Tamar and Towanda have their own relationship issues. Tamar is dealing with the aftermath of her divorce from Vincent Herbert and is in hiding, while Towanda told her mom that “everything was cool until he found out I was seeing somebody.”
There was also a media leak, an arrest, and a betrayal that forced the sisters to take sides. When will Braxton Family Values fans get the chance to see how it all plays out? We will just have to wait and see.
