Traci Braxton discusses the future of "the Braxton family" after the intervention of Iyanla Vanzant (exclusive)

Traci Braxton respects his commitments.

The 46-year-old is the only one of her sisters not to have filmed their reality show, Values ​​of the Braxton familymid-season six to participate in renegotiations of unconventional contracts.

"We had a contract, "Traci notes to ET. "And when you have a contract, you must complete this contract. You have to wait until the next season before you can say, "OK, I will not do anything." You can not do this. "

Traci's choice to continue working on the show while her sisters (Toni, Trina, Towanda and Tamar) moved away from the cameras caused tension within the family. The four sisters and their mother, Evelyn, missed more than filming; they missed events in life, including the dedication of Traci's first grandchild to church. Yet the sisters called Traci a "traitor".

"It hurts me because why am I a traitor?" Asks Traci. "Because I have my own mind?"

Traci says that she did not feel the responsibility of wearing the show but she was just "mature and fulfilling my promises".

"The thing is, they went on strike, "she adds. "So, when things are programmed, things are programmed as they are. So when that happened, I just decided to show my family and what we do as a family. Life goes on forever. It's not because they hit that I have to stop my life. And I decided to continue.

Producers turned to reality TV viewers to fill the void left by the Traci sisters, with Real Housewives of AtlantaPhaedra Parks, Bad Girls Club Star Natalie Nunn and comedian Luenell join the cast.

"It shows my life," says Traci. "Just as they would show the lives of my other sisters, they show mine. I have some friends! Just because you do not think you have friends, or whether it's invented or imagined, it's not invented or imagined, OK?

"Sometimes you just need friends to surround you when you're going through some kind of family disorder," she says. "It does not matter with that. It's not bad with that. Sometimes we have friends, they tend to center you and bring you back.

Phaedrus, whom Traci did not know well before the show, proved to be one of his closest confidants. Traci says the best advice his new friend gave him is, "Keep the family first. However, your business is separate. This is easier said than done, because the show, which concerns the family, is also a business.

"Right now, I'm in the middle and I'm trying to stay positive," says Traci about his current relationship with his siblings. "I do not try to talk to them about business, no matter what they are. Because our situation … our situation can show people that in business with the family, sometimes it does not get along well. And you must first stay with your family before you can start a business.

The sisters were absent from the last two episodes of Values ​​of the Braxton familybut will return to the series that starts this week to "tell their opinion and how they feel about their business decision". However, we do not know how many sisters viewers will see in Thursday's episode.

What is certain is that all Braxtons will receive a lot of time on the screen during the final of the season in two parts, broadcast on September 27 and October 4. Repair my life Facilitator Iyanla Vanzant leads an intervention with Traci and her sisters. Traci calls the experience "difficult".

"She did not fix my life, but she helped me to see and maintain my process in a positive way," she says.

However, it seems reasonable to say that the "emotional" experience was not positive for all of Traci's sisters. Tamar called Iyanla "the devil" after recording the episode in a tweet deleted since, and when asked what sisters Traci was in contact with her today, the only one she has Not named was Tamar.

"You have to watch!" She teases, adding that it's in the air that Values ​​of the Braxton family will never come back to the show that it once was.

For now, Traci focuses on the show as is. The next few weeks will also be fun for the singer, as she, Phaedra and some of their friends go to Wyoming to live as "cowboys" for a few days.

"We play a ball," admits Traci, before summarizing the rest of the season in "bipolar".

Values ​​of the Braxton family tunes on Thursdays at 9 pm ET on WE tv.
