Loni Love Played a Part in Tamar Braxton's Firing from 'The Real,' Claims Comic Cookie Hull
It’s been four years now since show host, Tamar Braxton was let go from the FOX talk series, “The Real”. Baxton claimed that the termination of her appointment on the show was spearheaded by former co-host, Loni Love.

Despite Love’s continuous effort to denounce the allegation from Braxton, the latter didn’t budge. Rumors passed around that Braxton was fired from the show because of her ‘big personality’ and how the other co-hosts found it hard to work with her.
Prior to getting fired, Tamar had been a host on the daytime talk show for three seasons.
Loni Love mentioned a plausible reason why Braxton blamed her for the predicament. She explained that Braxton had privately spoken to her about the possibility of getting a new manager to replace Vincent Herbert, her now ex-husband.
She also said that she offered her recommendation and when Vincent discovered the plot to get him replaced, he pointed fingers in Love’s direction as soon as Braxton got fired.
Everyone thought the issue was swept completely under the rug until recently when a former co-worker and friend of Love came out to reveal more insight into the beef between Love and Braxton.
Comedian Cookie Hull spoke on the matter in a recent interview where she affirms Tamar’s suspicion of Loni being responsible for her eviction from the team of hosts on “The Real” talk show in 2016. Over the years, Hull developed a professional relationship with Love.
The two comics did a lot of touring together and Cookie claims to have written many of Love’s jokes.
Cookie Hull alleges that Love showed herself to be a manipulative person who did whatever it took to get her way. Hull pointed out that Loni made the move to get Tamar Braxton of the show because,
“...she wanted to be the only ghetto girl on the show and she wanted to get rid of [Braxton]”
Hull also explained that she came across emails sent by Love to the producers of the show, painting Braxton in a negative light. Cookie said that Love capitalized on Braxton’s then involvement in popular celebrity dancing show, “Dancing With The Stars”, and made it seem like Braxton was a “liability” to the progress of “The Real” show.
Cookie then went on to say that Love may not have been the one to get Tamar Braxton fired four years ago, “but she was influencing things”.
This adds to the heat as Braxton had once posted a screenshot of her conversation with an undisclosed mutual friend who confirmed Loni’s involvement in the termination of her job as a talk show host on “The Real”. The unknown friend mentioned her source to be a co-worker of Loni Love. Cookie Hull identified as the “co-worker” in question.
