The Braxton Family Rift: Kevin Surratt’s Strained Relationship with Tracy’s Family.

The Braxton family has recently been making headlines due to ongoing tensions between Tracy Braxton’s husband, Kevin Surratt, and the Braxton sisters.

After Tracy’s death from esophageal cancer in 2022, it became evident that there was a public rift between Kevin and the rest of the family, raising questions about the source of their discord.

Tracy and Kevin were married for 25 years, a relationship filled with both public and private challenges. Despite their ups and downs, they remained committed to each other until her passing.

However, after Tracy’s death, Kevin found himself distanced from the Braxton family, leading to speculation about the reasons for the family’s apparent alienation.

During an Instagram Live session, Kevin hinted at unresolved tensions between him and the Braxton family.

Without directly accusing anyone, he alluded to the fact that a “village” of people, unrelated to the Braxtons, had stepped up to support him and his son, Kevin Jr., through their grief. This left fans wondering why the Braxton family seemed absent from his support system.

In one instance, Kevin shared the details of the events leading up to Tracy’s cancer diagnosis and eventual death, recounting how he was with her every step of the way, attending every medical appointment and searching for treatments.

Despite his devotion, the family reportedly treated Kevin as though he wasn’t part of Tracy’s life, particularly when it came to her funeral arrangements. According to Kevin, Tracy had expressed specific wishes about how she wanted to be memorialized, including a viewing, but her sisters and mother disagreed, opting instead for immediate cremation.

This difference in opinion culminated in the Braxton sisters skipping Tracy’s funeral, with only Tracy’s father briefly attending. Kevin maintains that he invited the entire family, but they chose not to participate.

This exclusion wasn’t an isolated incident. The tensions appear to have existed for some time, and were further evident when Kevin wasn’t invited to take part in the Braxton family’s grief counseling sessions on their reality show.

Despite being Tracy’s husband, he was notably absent from the show’s discussions about her passing. Fans took to social media, questioning why Kevin was excluded from the show and the grieving process. Many felt that his exclusion was disrespectful, especially considering his close relationship with Tracy.

The drama surrounding Kevin’s relationship with the Braxton family reached a peak when Tamar Braxton, Tracy’s sister, posted a series of erratic tweets after Tracy’s passing, seemingly throwing her entire family under the bus.

In the aftermath of these tweets, Tamar temporarily deleted most of her social media profiles, leaving fans even more puzzled about what might be going on behind the scenes.

Kevin’s frustrations with the Braxton family aren’t new. During an earlier episode of *Braxton Family Values*, Tracy had called out Towanda’s then-partner for meddling in family affairs. In a heated exchange, Tamar criticized Kevin for his criminal record, further fueling the animosity between the sisters and Kevin.

This tension persisted, and now that Tracy is no longer here to mediate, it seems the Braxton sisters feel they no longer need to maintain a relationship with Kevin.

The Braxton family members are also dealing with their own personal issues, which may have compounded the strain between them and Kevin. Toni Braxton is reportedly facing serious health issues, including complications related to her lupus.

Trina Braxton has struggled with alcohol and food addiction, while Towanda appears to be focused on keeping family secrets from becoming public. Tamar continues to experience her own share of drama, both personally and professionally.

As Kevin continues to navigate life without Tracy, it’s clear that the rift with the Braxton family runs deep. Whether the family’s decision to distance themselves from Kevin is based on personal grievances or a desire to protect their own privacy remains uncertain.

What is clear, however, is that fans are divided over whether Kevin’s exclusion from the family’s grieving process is justified.

As more episodes of *Braxton Family Values* air, viewers will likely gain more insight into the family dynamics at play.

The question remains: Is Kevin being unfairly isolated, or is there more to the story than meets the eye? Fans are eagerly awaiting answers as the Braxton family continues to deal with their grief, both privately and publicly.
