The Braxton family drama surrounding the late Traci Braxton’s estate has been a whirlwind of tension, accusations, and public scrutiny. According to reports, Traci Braxton deliberately left her son, Kevin Jr., in charge of her estate, excluding her sisters, due to longstanding personal grievances. Allegedly, Traci felt her sisters were too “greedy” and had treated her poorly during her lifetime, leading her to entrust her legacy to her son instead.

Traci’s Final Will and Wishes

Traci’s will reportedly outlined specific instructions for her funeral and the distribution of her estate. She named Kevin Jr. as the personal representative, responsible for managing her brand and likeness, paying funeral expenses, and handling debts. Traci also left Kevin Sr., her husband, certain assets, including real estate and personal items, but the bulk of the estate was assigned to Kevin Jr.

Notably, Traci requested a simple funeral with one viewing and immediate cremation, explicitly excluding her sisters and organizations like Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, from participating in her final services. This decision seems to align with her strained relationship with her siblings, which had been evident even during her lifetime.

Family Fallout and Public Reaction

The decision to leave her sisters out of her will sparked intense speculation about their relationship. Many fans and observers believe that Traci’s sisters had treated her as an outcast, often marginalizing her within the family dynamic. Instances from their reality show, Braxton Family Values, are frequently cited as evidence of this alleged mistreatment. In one notable episode, Traci was criticized by her sisters for the food she prepared, which many saw as emblematic of their dismissive attitude toward her.

Kevin Jr. has also faced challenges since taking on his mother’s estate. Publicly, he has struggled with personal issues, including a divorce from his wife, Olivia Harron, and health concerns, such as seizures that began after Traci’s passing. These challenges have further fueled tensions within the family, particularly with his father, Kevin Sr.

Conflict Between Kevin Jr. and Kevin Sr.

A video circulating online shows a heated altercation between Kevin Jr. and Kevin Sr., where accusations were exchanged about Traci’s illness. Kevin Sr. allegedly blamed Kevin Jr. for certain decisions, which further deepened the rift between them. Many speculate that the root of their conflict lies in Traci’s decision to place Kevin Jr. in charge of her estate, sidelining her husband in favor of their son.

Kevin Sr. has also faced backlash for organizing a funeral service against Traci’s explicit wishes. While Traci’s will reportedly requested immediate cremation without a formal funeral, Kevin Sr., alongside Traci’s manager, proceeded to arrange a service with a viewing and Zoom links. This decision reportedly caused a major divide, with Traci’s sisters and mother boycotting the event. Her father, though in attendance, was initially denied entry, allegedly due to not being on the guest list.

Capitalizing on Traci’s Death?

Traci’s sisters have faced criticism for allegedly capitalizing on her death. Fans accuse them of exploiting the tragedy for financial or personal gain, which contrasts sharply with Traci’s decision to exclude them from her estate. The family’s public feuds have only intensified these allegations, casting a shadow over the Braxton name.

A Legacy of Pain

The drama surrounding Traci Braxton’s estate underscores a history of family tension and unresolved issues. Her decision to prioritize her son, Kevin Jr., over her husband and sisters reflects deep-seated grievances that seem to have persisted until her passing. While her wishes were clear in her will, the family’s inability to honor them without conflict highlights the emotional toll her death has taken on everyone involved.

In the public eye, the Braxton family has long been seen as a symbol of talent and success, but the revelations about their internal struggles paint a different picture—one of pain, mistrust, and unresolved conflict. As Kevin Jr. continues to navigate his role as executor of his mother’s estate, it remains to be seen whether the family can find common ground or if the fractures will only deepen.
