Braxton Family Values - Season 1 (2011)

Ready to relaunch her singing career, R&B superstar Toni invites her four younger sisters to join her for a benefit concert in Bermuda. But old rivalries and resentments threaten to ruin what was meant to be a joyful family reunion.

The Braxton sisters fear that Trina’s weight gain and alcohol abuse are symptoms of a depression. They consult a family therapist, then surprise Trina with an intervention. After a rocky start, progress is made, and the sisters hold hands at the end.

Toni’s plans for a quiet birthday are ruined when Tamar convinces her that the sisters should jet to Miami to celebrate. They take a yacht tour, attend a Dolphins game, and shop for a vacation home. Back in Atlanta, Towanda sets Toni up on a date.

Toni, her mother, and her sisters arrive at Tamar and Vince’s house in Los Angeles, where they’ll be staying while Toni is honored at a Lupus LA charity event. Tamar gives them an annoyingly detailed list of her “house rules” that she expects them to follow, as well as a “to-do” list of activities.

Toni meets with Vince to discuss her upcoming gig in Russia, and the state of her career. She wants to do a Vegas show, but she’s concerned no one will hire her because of her Lupus. Vince reassures her. Traci is upset when she learns that she can’t go to Russia due to a visa issue.

Vince meets with Toni’s sisters and proposes doing a family album. He’s not sure if Toni will be involved or not. Tamar is the only one who has reservations, since she wants to do her own album, and won’t do it without Toni. Towanda and Andre argue as they move into Toni’s house.

Toni Braxton is a six time Grammy award winning performer who has sold over forty million records worldwide, starred in two Broadway plays and headlined her own show at the Flamingo in Las Vegas.

The sisters hang out at Toni’s house when Tamar shows up and pulls out a selection of adult magazines to try to discourage Toni from posing in Playboy. Toni finds this ridiculous since Playboy is way classier than these other rags, but the sisters have fun checking out the photos.

Trina visits Dr. Sherry for some guidance about her marriage and her alcoholism. She asks Trina to give up alcohol for 90 days.

The girls’ father attends a family dinner causing a huge blow up with their mom. Towanda delivers separation papers to her husband. Traci commits to moving to Atlanta but Toni decides she is moving to LA jeopardizing the Braxton album.

Nationally syndicated talk show host Wendy Williams dishes with the girls – Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina and Tamar – and gets the real scoop on: if Toni ever made the move to L.A.; how Trina felt about losing her wig-cap during her DUI arrest and where she and Gabe stand today.
