Iyanla Vanzant BREAKS Her Silence on Tamar Braxton “Sex-Shaming” Allegations #TheJasonLeeShow
Whose show was it? For Iyanla Vanzant, that distinction matters when Jason Lee asks about Tamar Braxton's accusation that she "sex-shamed" her.
"That is absolutely not true!" Vanzant tells him in BET's short interview excerpt. She then makes a point about how the encounter happened: "I went on their show, they did not come on mine."
Lee asks how someone invited to help ends up being viewed as the bad guy. Vanzant says she is willing to be seen that way if it brings clarity. She frames her work in explicitly spiritual terms: "I do it in service to God." Her response is a denial of Braxton's account, not a reconciliation between them.
The clip reached roughly 92,000 views in 14 hours, far beyond the channel's usual start for Shorts. Another BET upload addressing the same accusation also drew unusually strong viewing.
The exchange is part of a larger Vanzant conversation on The Jason Lee Show. BET has also posted excerpts about her reconciliation with Oprah, while the full interview takes in forgiveness, boundaries and approaching difficult conversations. In one accompanying description, Vanzant draws a distinction of her own: having an intention is not the same as having an agenda.
