The Braxton family has faced public scrutiny time and time again for their drama
tic and often divisive behavior, but the absence of several family members at Traci Braxton’s final viewing and funeral has hit a new low. Instead of coming together to honor their sister, they chose to have their own separate celebration of life—leaving fans and onlookers shocked and disappointed.
Traci’s husband had made it clear that he arranged a funeral because Traci deserved to be celebrated and honored in the way she had always wanted. Despite the family’s claims that Traci didn’t want a funeral, her husband’s intentions were clear: Traci’s legacy deserved to be acknowledged. “No matter what differences existed, the Braxton family should’ve come together to attend their sister’s homegoing service,” one fan remarked, expressing what many others felt in the wake of the family’s division.
The drama surrounding the family’s actions leading up to Traci’s passing seems to have only intensified in the wake of her death. Rather than putting their differences aside to be there for their sister in her final moments, they chose division. “Rain, sleet, or snow — I would’ve put everything aside to be there for my sister’s final goodbye,” one heartbroken follower wrote, reflecting the sentiment that family should come first, no matter the circumstances.
This moment, one that was supposed to be about honoring a beloved sister and mother, instead became a symbol of the ongoing turmoil within the Braxton family. The emotional weight of losing Traci should have brought them together, but instead, it only further highlighted the deep rifts in their relationships.
As fans continue to process Traci’s loss, the family’s decision to honor her in separate ways feels like a missed opportunity for healing. At the end of the day, love and respect should have taken precedence over the drama—this moment should have been about unity and saying goodbye together.
