Tamar Braxton seems to be living the good life right now. Her new single,
The One, is getting a lot of love from fans, and she’s about to be a new mommy with husband,
Vincent Herbert. However, everything isn’t so sweet. The singer and reality TV vixen recently talked with
Ebony Magazine where she opened about having the skin disease, vitiligo, and says that she hasn’t had nearly as much surgery as folks think she has.
On having vitiligo:
Anybody with skin issues knows that that’s a very sensitive subject. And that’s why I’ve never shared that I have Vitiligo, because I do. I’ve always had it, since I was a young girl. It’s not as bad as others because everybody has it differently, but I’ve certainly had mine diagnosed. That’s why I tan. People say, “You bleach your skin!” But I tan just so I can have a better tone on my skin, boo!
It’s gotten worse since I’ve gotten pregnant. If you shake my hand now, to me it’s more noticeable. But when you get diagnosed with a skin disorder, it’s hard. It does weigh on your self-esteem. It really does. But I’m done defending that. I’m not bleaching my skin and if I was bleaching my skin and I felt like saying so, I would, but for the record, I am not.
On plastic surgery rumors:
I don’t have plastic surgery. I never had plastic surgery. I had a nose procedure done because I had to. I had no cartilage in my nose, I have a piece of cartilage from my ear put into my nose. I had a medical procedure done. I have no plastic in my nose. And when I shared that with the world, now I have Botox, and different kind of fillers. Now I touch my face, which I never touch my face…Everything is real on me. After I have my baby, I might can’t say that everything is real on me. I might get my breasts done. Who knows if my breasts gonna go down to my ankles–I can’t do that!
Eh, if she says she hasn’t carved up her face beyond a nose job, I think that I could believe her. For the most part, the differences in her face seem to be the work of a heavy handed makeup artist. I guess we’ll never know for sure.
