Tamar faced backlash when she stated on social media that she “didn’t have time” to attend her niece’s funeral. However, she clarified the statement and confirmed that she did go to the funeral.
What I was saying was going to the funeral HOME was a lot! I get that u didn’t hear that part! I was honestly distraught and faking as if i was ok. Social media has taken bullying to a whole new level. The funeral didn’t happen a day later. It was today and i went. https://t.co/0ybxEqwhxl
