I think her being on dwts made common everyday folks and maybe even celebs see her differently. She really came off as a biatch on there and seemed difficult to work with. She got alot backlash for how she carried herself on there. I think she gave herself and the Real a bad look. Now, im just purely speculating but I feel like some truth holds to that as I can see when she finally did return to the talk after sick spell the vibe was off.

I agree with you but in a different aspect. When she was out doing DWTS and healing from her illness people got to see how The Real ran smoothly with out her around,and I think that sealed her fate. I never got to watch an actual episode of DWTS with Tamar on it,but I did see the behind-the-scenes on 'Tamar and Vince' and it made Tamar look like a victim,not a psycho.

You are absolutely right. That I believe - is exactly what happened.

I watched it and I honestly only watched it for Tamar. I do feel the judges were judging her unfairly on her dances and she should have gotten a 10 from she did her Rumba. She didn't get a 10 until there was some controversy over something and then she did the Janet Jackson piece. I didn't feel that that piece was her best. Tamar was herself on the show (but a little more toned down so to me she was bearable). However that feistiness apparently rubbed most of "mainstream" America the wrong way because they saw her as being combative with her partner Val. Now honestly I think that Val and she had great chemistry and he's from New York so I think he got her personality. But for people who didn't know Tamar - her packages made them dislike her especially next to sweet, innocent, little Bindi Irwin.

I still liked Tamar after she came back from her illness but there are times she got on my nerves. I was honestly starting to feel that the other co-hosts were afraid to speak their mind fully when talking with her because of her and her husbands Executive Producer title. Boy was I wrong.

Yeah I seem to remember her posting some instagram message about producers at DWTS treating her badly before she suddenly got sick and left the show.

Now, here she is again with another instagram blaming folks on The Real.

It does make her look bad. Can she get along with anyone? She says people treat her bad but it likely is the other way around. I remember her arguing with Val (was that her partner?) .. She had a comeback for everything. So resistant, arrogant and unlikeable.

LMAO @ her getting let go.

Tamar was actually toned down on Dancing With the Stars from how she is on her reality show and The Real. To me she was actually a bit more likable on DWTS. She got unnecessary backlash and at one point Val had to fuss out the producers about that because of how they were trying to "portray" her as if she didn't work hard - which I think she did.

Common, every day folks do not watch Dancing With the Stars like that. That show is watched by middle class and upperclass, mainstream America.
