What happened with Loni Love and Tamar Braxton? History explored as comedian denies feud rumors

Loni Love is refusing to weigh in on Tamar Braxton’s past comments about her.

During the latest episode of Watch What Happens Live, Love was asked if she'd accepted Braxton's apologies for calling her a “big back Cadillac,” and if she was ready to mend their bond. She said:

“I have no beef… I never respond to this. I use my platform to entertain, inform, and inspire… not to do beefs.”

For context, during a summer episode of The NeNe Leakes Show, Braxton reminisced on her experience on The Real, which she also helped develop, the Rickey Smiley Morning Show has reported. Leakes revealed that she was approached to host the daytime talk show but had to turn it down, which went to Love instead.

“I wish they would’ve told me that because I wouldn’t have cast Big Back Cadillac. We probably would’ve been in our tenth season by now… Thanks. Ain’t that dumb? Ouch," Braxton said in response.

At the time, she also said, “It’s no shade” toward Love, but took shots at her body:

“How’d her back get so big?” Braxton said at the time.

Loni Love and Tamar Braxton's feud explored

A month after she passed her comments about Loni Love, Tamar Braxton went on The Breakfast Club, where she issued an apology for her comments:

“That is me being on NeNe’s show … I love NeNe. We have a lot of history. But that is an interview I’m not so proud of,” Braxton said in June. “There were cocktails involved, and I just feel like everything is not for the public.”

She later added,

“First of all, I probably should say this out loud and in front of everybody, I apologize for calling her a Big Back Cadillac. Not in any way did I want to shame her.” She explained, “I’ve held onto my composure all of this time and never said nothing bad. That was really a vulnerable moment, and I apologize Loni. I really want to have a conversation that could lead to reconcile.”

Loni Love and Tamar Braxton have long been involved in a feud, with reports dating back to May 2017. As reported by Us Weekly, the two celebrities were on the original panel of hosts of The Real when it debuted in July 2013. However, two years later, it was revealed that Braxton was being fired, and that's when things seemingly turned sour between them.

A year after Braxton was reportedly sacked from the show, Page Six reported that she tried her best to avoid Loni Love at the Daytime Emmy Awards.

"Loni hasn't seen or spoken to Tamar since she implied Loni got her fired," a source told the outlet. "Loni's seats were right next to Tamar and [sister] Toni Braxton. Loni was so upset that she stayed in the green room until it was time to present."

However, another source close to Loni Love said,

“Loni was very happy to be at the show. She stayed in the green room because she was comfortable . . . She was not trying to stay away from Tamar or anybody else.”

During her recent sit-down with Andy Cohen, Loni Love claimed that the beef was simply "one-sided," adding that when Braxton insulted her earlier this year, she was in Iceland:

“I didn’t know what was going on. So, I didn’t know anything,” Love recalled. “Then I got all this information.” She said that although “people wanted me to respond,” she did it anyway. “I’m like, ‘I never respond.’ Andrew, you know me, I never respond to this. I use my platform to entertain, inform and inspire, not to do beef,” Love concluded.
