In the three-minute video, Braxton complained about a “splitting” headache. She also told her more than 3 million followers her schedule and being “drained” would not allow her to attend Lauren Braxton’s funeral.

“I don’t have time to go to the funeral. I’m still drained from that...It’s a lot...Everything happens in God’s divine order and you’ve got to respect it and praise him anyway.”

Shortly after posting the IG Live, Braxton posted about some of the backlash from her comments on her Instagram page. The image in the post read: “PSA: Don’t tell people how to heal from something you’ve never been through.”

Several Instagram users took issue with her comments. User @chatauquaiam responded to Braxton's post, commenting "Tamar, that is your blood brother's daughter! All I'm goin to say is, what if no one came to your child's funeral God forbid that took place?"

User nini214129110 said she thought that Tamar Braxton's decision was "just selfish... if you weren't going, couldn't post about it or whatever then keep quiet and stop showing off for your own gain."

Braxton did have some support from her fans after the video posted.

“You don't have to explain why, just do what you have to do for yourself. The public DON'T need to know everything. Your family understands so be it!😘”
