Tamar Braxton is jumping to her big sister Toni Braxton's defense.

The reality star and singer hopped on X (formerly Twitter) to support Toni after she was criticized for appearing to refuse to hold Chrisean Rock's hand during a moment of prayer before Tamar's show.

"I'm OVER it!! Coming for my sister who has lupus and don't even really come outside was the line for me," she wrote late Monday night. "This is so traumatic. Having to relive that night because some greedy person wanted to sell footage. Well now i have the [sic] ALL the footage y'all been waiting on. God don't like ugly. It's all on my YouTube. I'm Never EVER discussing this again Goodnight."

Tamar referenced a seven-minute video shared on her YouTube channel that shows the leaked video published by TMZ on Sunday. In that clip, Tamar is seen standing next to Toni in a prayer circle before Tamar's performance. Chrisean approaches them and stands in between the sisters and attempts to hold Toni's hand, which the "Breathe Again" singer had placed behind her back.

In her YouTube video, Tamar continues to defend Toni, noting that she was caught off guard as she doesn't know Chrisean.

The video also showed Tamar's friend and background singer, James Wright Chanel, after he was allegedly punched in face in her dressing room. The incident occurred last month, and Chrisean was the alleged assailant. He maintained in the clip that he wanted to press charges.
