Things got awkward between “Braxton Family Values” star Trina Braxton and her husband Von Scales when the subject of Braxton’s ex-husband got here up on an episode of their recap podcast.

As the pair analyzed this week’s episode,Braxton Clips and Cocktails,” things got ugly when Braxton mentioned that she felt Scales was punishing her for grieving the lack of her ex-husband, Gabe Solis, who died in 2020 from cancer.

Scales, who married Braxton in 2019, confirmed that he did, the truth is, have an issue together with her showing emotions towards her ex-husband.

“It was absolutely true. I was angry,” Scales said.

He continued. “If you want my honest opinion, I don’t see much difference between how you grieved for Traci and how you grieved for Gabe; it looked the same to me.”

Scales said he saw there was a little bit more “heat” behind the emotions of his wife’s grief over the lack of her sister Traci, but he admitted, “I didn’t like it.”

“To me, the sadness seemed too strong for someone you had so many problems with,” Scales later added. “It seemed like you still had really strong feelings for this guy, which made me think, ‘What am I doing here?’ I didn’t like any part of it.”

Scales explained that he didn’t envy Braxton and Solis’ relationship and gave them medical advice when Braxton told him Solis had been diagnosed with cancer.

He revealed that the proven fact that Braxton and Solis remained best friends even after their 12-year marriage ended, despite having children, is a “unique paradigm.”

“I’ve never seen two people who were married, have a terrible divorce, and then become best friends. That was something new to me. That’s all I said. And I still haven’t seen that,” he said.

They spent the remaining of the episode answering fan comments and questions via YouTube and Instagram Live. When the clip hit social media, many spoke out about Scales and his questionable views on Braxton’s grieving process.

One User X he said, “It was disturbing. How can you be jealous of a man who is already dead, and who are you to compare cases where a woman is suffering. Trina not only lost her sister to the disease, but also Gabe, who despite his infidelity and issues, had a history with her. To pick up on grudges and compare them seems sociopathic and is a red flag.”

Other follower he is not too sure in regards to the sincerity of the connection. “I’m pretty sure Von doesn’t like Trina. The way he talks and looks at her when they’re cooking. I stopped watching. He seems aggressive on air.”

Several people shared the identical feelings, tweet“Von never just sat next to me… am I the only one who has these thoughts?” just as“I don’t like him, I’ve never done it, it’s something in his spirit.”

Some fans understood Scales’ perspective and felt his feelings were valid. Regardless, they felt the issue was his delivery.

This user he said, “His feelings are valid and I remember watching BFV when it happened and seeing that he was uncomfortable. HOWEVER, he should have been honest with me about it. It sounds like he’s letting it build up and holding a grudge.”

Other person suggested that Braxton would deal together with her husband’s blunt statement. “All I see is a man expressing how his ego got the better of him but couldn’t properly define it or avoided defining himself. Trina will deal with that difficult conversation. She will deal with what kind of man her husband is. He makes valid points and so does she.”

When it involves identifying the differences between red and green flags, @SeraphLee0411 was the bulk voice once they tweeted, “If this is love, I’d rather stay single.”
