A Braxton niece is stirring the family pot this holiday season! Ashlee Braxton, daughter of Michael Braxton Jr., recently opened up on social media about why one of her famous aunts cut her off. Apparently, it has to do with a man and inappropriate contact with Ashlee while she was a minor. She is 32 years old now.
Here’s a recap of everything the ‘Braxton Family Values’ star shared and how internet users are reacting to her reveal.
Ashlee Braxton Recalls How Her Dad & Aunt Reacted To Incident
Braxton shared the sensitive content on TikTok in a two-part video on December 18. In total, her storytime was about 15 minutes long. She began the first clip by claiming that her aunt stopped speaking to her because she was under the impression that Ashlee “did something” with her partner at age 16. To be clear, the niece did not name-drop which of her aunts—the late Traci, Trina, Tamar Toni, or Towanda—her story applies to. Ash admitted that she’s been a “nervous wreck” while contemplating whether to tell her story. So, why expose herself? Ashlee said that she’s been working through the incident in therapy and that it impacted her perception of self-worth.
In her first video, Ashlee explained that she and her sister had spent a summer with her aunt. When she got home, her stepmother searched through her phone and found the conversation with her aunt’s partner. The stepmom told Michael Braxton Jr. what was going on, and he called his sister.
“My aunt was there for me. She was very kind, very nice and was like ‘I’m so sorry that this happened to you.’ She was very kind, and it just felt safe. But then, as the years had gone by, it’s like that mood and that assumption that I didn’t do anything because I was a child was not that assumption anymore.”
Ashlee Braxton said the energy switch-up “boggled [her] mind” because had anything physical happened with the uncle, it would’ve made him a pedophile. For context, the 32-year-old is adamant that nothing happened outside of the text conversation.
“It just felt like love from my family was cut off and gone and you’re like but wait, that guy? And it made it even worse because it was like this guy that was doing this to you on TV? And it’s kind of…in the same spirit of what was happening,” Ashlee shared.
