Inspite of her unhappiness, Tamera did a great job on the show. I’m glad she’s sharing her truth!

[tmichelle]

I love me some Tamera. What’s crazy is people who work regular jobs, have that same anxiety Sunday before going to work. I’m definitely going to get her book.

[graciesquiltingandcrafting]

Well she did a great job hiding her UNHAPPINESSS. Tamara still shared her life as a wife, mother and a actress wholeheartly. Good to see she's in better place after deciding to leave.

[AG-hcsw]

I just quit a job where I was throwing up every morning from anxiety…… I’m glad she did what’s best for her ……

[Winnib]

I can definitely relate to Tamara, it's like having a job where you are encouraged to go along with something that goes against you personal and religious beliefs, and if you show resistance you are ostracized . It can be stressful and unhealthy.

[gingerdad]

I got the feeling that Tamera and her life was more conservative and traditional than the other ladies. Looking back, I think she was the most successful in her personal life, and such a good role model for other Christians

[divinejustice]

You can never really tell what people are going through behind closed doors. Praying for Tamera and her sister Tia during this difficult time.

[gabrielar]

That’s wild. That type of stress can take YEARS off your life. Stress is a silent killer.

I watched Kandi’s interview with Amanda the other day. She mentioned that they all were uncomfortable but no one knew they could say “no” or set boundaries until she got there. Most of why she wasn’t welcomed by production was because of her saying no to certain things and becoming the bad guy for having workplace boundaries.

So I’m not so shocked now.

[candycayne]

No!!! This hurts my heart to hear that she was so unhappy. Seeing her on The Real, she was one of my favorites, she was so kind and sweet, natural and beautiful. I hope she knows how she was appreciated and that being herself is enough ❤️

[KYESHAKNOWSSKIN]

Nobody is surprised by this!! All the backlash she got. Everybody could see how unhappy she was. However, she learned alot about herself during The Real.

[joshuaafrifa]

I knew this 100, 000% because she was constantly being judged on the show and you can tell it was taking a toll on her spirit and her demeanor changed

[kaylenejantjes]

That is so sad to hear that she was so unhappy on the show. She was the one I related to the most out of all the hosts across the seasons. She was really vulnerable on the show and super entertaining! I think she should do another sitcom because she's got great timing and delivery. I hope this book is a huge success for her! She seems like such a good person. 💖💖

[laurentracey]

Tamera is the beautiful black Christian woman that we needed to see on TV. The evilness in the world didn't want hear it that’s why she received so much backlash. I can completely understand the pressure. As much as I missed her when she left. I'm glad she is recovering and enjoying her life more.

[justsonyaputtinggodfirst]

I'm not surprised I Loved watching her and yes I will read her memoir and give some support. Keep your head and spirits up Tamera.

[Jmaldo.designs]

I believe that… she’s a sensitive and sweet soul… she’s not built for that fake ass show

[michaelamitchell]

I would’ve never thought that she unhappy. She was so strong on that show & she made me laugh plenty of times. It’s crazy that the shows we liked, they was battling so much more.. it makes you think😢

[Bluesalleyway]

The irony...the name of the show was "The Real, " yet she couldn't be real. I feel this deep down in my soul. So much so I'm about to make a therapy appointment. Thanks. ❤🙏🏾

[tropicallymixed.]

I watched that show and you could tell. I could see through the smiles. I wasn't surprised when she left the show.

[fatimahconteh]

This comes as no surprise to me because, Tamera comes across as a religious and conservative women. However, in a Liberal and non religious world we live in you can often feel lonely at times I relate ❤️.
