Tamar Braxton says she 'almost died' after being 'found in a pool of blood'
In an Aug. 19 post shared to her Instagram story, the 'Love and War' singer and television personality shared that she 'almost died' this week after a friend discovered her in a pool of her own blood.
The 48-year-old detailed her health scare in a message written over a gradient-colored background.
'I struggled to write this but everyone keeps calling me and honestly, I can't even really talk anymore. I'm so weak,' her message begins. 'I almost died Sunday. I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury. As the days go by, the worse it is.'
While the singer did not share further details regarding what caused her physical injuries, she did open up about the emotional toll it has taken.
The extent of her injuries, which included a fractured nose, the loss of 'some teeth' and mobility issues, has also affected her outlook.
'The way I look at life now is totally different.'
Despite the severity of the event, Braxton says her health is steadily improving.
'As my health is on the mend, my mental journey begins,' she continued. 'Pray for me for real. I don't even know what happened to me.'
Braxton has been open about her health history in the past. In 2021, she shared an update after she was hospitalized after she was found unresponsive.
'In this present moment, it is my only responsibility to be real with myself and to be real with the ones who truly love me and care for my healing,' she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram. 'I have without fail, shared with you my brightest days, and I know that sharing with you what has been my darkest will be the light for any man or woman who is feeling the same defeat I felt just only a week ago.'

Olivia Munn, John Mulaney Emotional Moment Pre-Mastectomy
Last year, Olivia Munn revealed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023. 'In the past 10 months I have had four surgeries, so many days spent in bed I can't even count, and have learned more about cancer, cancer treatment, and hormones than I ever could have imagined. Surprisingly, I've only cried twice. I guess I haven't felt like there was time to cry,' she wrote on Instagram as she revealed that she'd had a double mastectomy. Olivia — who recently revealed that her mom had also been diagnosed with breast cancer — has remained super open about her diagnosis, even flaunting her mastectomy scars during a partnership with Kim Kardashian's brand Skims. Now, in honour of World Breast Cancer Research Day, which was on August 18, Olivia has shared an emotional video of herself and husband John Mulaney moments before she underwent surgery. The intimate footage shows Olivia in a hospital bed, holding hands with John, who is wearing a surgical mask. The couple can be seen speaking to each other closely and pressing their foreheads together, with Olivia reaching out to stroke John's face at one point. Olivia wrote in the caption, 'This was May 2023 right before I was wheeled in for my double mastectomy, the first of 5 surgeries I would have in a determined battle to beat breast cancer.' 'Today is #WorldBreastCancerResearchDay. My breast cancer and my mother's breast cancer are both very aggressive, fast-moving cancers. And because of funding for breast cancer research we both had a path to survival,' she wrote before stating that she's currently on a treatment plan called endocrine therapy, which 'works to keep hormones from reaching cancer cells.' Olivia's touching post was met with heaps of support online. Actor Kerry Washington wrote, 'You're amazing,' while media personality Amanda Hirsch said, 'I love you so much my hero.'
