Tamar Braxton will not be going to LoLo's funeral.

Last month, the Braxton sisters mourned the loss of their 24-year-old niece Lauren, who passed away unexpectedly from a heart condition. Toni and Towanda have both issued statements but things were radio-silent on Tamar's end, with many sending their condolences to the entertainer over the course of the last few weeks. Tamar has been on tour with Kandi Burruss and apparently, she won't be attending her niece's funeral because she's too busy.

Most people would make time for something as tragic as saying your final goodbye to a family member. Tamar addressed the situation during a live-stream this week though and many are voicing their disapproval of her statement.

According to Page Six, Tamar Braxton said that this is the first time that somebody in her family has passed away and she doesn't know how to process her emotions. "I’ve been M.I.A. because I just cannot bring myself to post about my niece. Like, I just can’t do it," said the reality star. "But what I did want to say is I want to thank everyone for sending their condolences."

She spoke about LoLo's funeral, telling fans that she will not be in attendance. "I don’t want my sisters or my family to get upset with me, but the things that’s been going on — this is the first time that anybody in my family has passed. Nobody tell you about going to the damn funeral. I don’t have time going to the funeral."

Many of her former supporters have bashed her for being so "selfish" in this situation, noting that she's not too busy to still remain active on social media. What do you think about this?
