This wouldn't be the first time that the former 'The Real' talk show host suffered a sudden health scare.
Back in 2020, Braxton was rushed to the hospital for a 'possible overdose' after her then-partner, David Adefeso, found her unconscious in a hotel room in Los Angeles, Calif., and called 911.
Reports at the time, suggested Braxton had been drinking and consumed an unknown number of prescription pills.

'Tamar has had a very tough and emotional day – more information will be coming in the next few days,' a spokesperson for the Braxton family said in a statement at the time. 'Please pray for her.'
The former 'Queens Court' reality star later opened up about the incident, revealing she attempted to take her own life.

'That time of my life was so dark and so heavy. I didn't see how I was going to come out on the other side. I didn't even know that there was another side,' Braxton told People in June 2021.
'Most people think, 'Oh, she went to a hotel, probably took a bunch of drugs, was on a binge.' It didn't happen like that. It was just everyday life, trying to figure out how to get through the day and then …' Braxton continued, before cutting herself off.
