Singer and reality TV star Tamar Braxton is sharing harrowing details about a recent near-fatal accident that left her hospitalized and reflecting deeply on life.
As previously reported, on Sunday, August 17, 2025, the Grammy-nominated artist was found by a friend lying in a “pool of blood” after suffering severe injuries. In an emotional Instagram post, Braxton revealed she had fractured her nose, lost several teeth, and suffered impaired mobility as a result of the incident. “I struggled to write this but everyone keeps calling me and honestly, I can’t even really talk anymore—I’m so weak,” she wrote. She goes on to say she “almost died Sunday … I was found in a pool of blood … I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility.”
Following the traumatic incident, cosmetic dentist Dr. Amira Ogunleye revealed that she treated Braxton. In a video posted to Instagram, Ogunleye explained she believes the accident may have been caused as a result of sleepwalking.
She says Braxton is still working with medical professionals to understand what triggered the accident, as Tamar has no memory of it.
This isn’t the first time the star has faced a serious health crisis. In 2015, Braxton was forced to withdraw from Dancing with the Stars after developing pulmonary embolisms in her lungs. She later battled a life-threatening flu in 2022 and has been candid about her struggles with mental health, including a 2020 suicide attempt.
