Bold & Beautiful Guest Star Named in Possible Suicide Attempt Following 911 Call
Friday, July 17th, 2020
Bold and Beautiful alum was found unresponsive.
In upsetting news, actress and entertainer Tamar Braxton, who made a guest appearance on The Bold and the Beautiful in 2019 when she played Chef Chambre in scenes with Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) and Katie Logan (Heather Tom), was reportedly rushed to the hospital after a possible suicide attempt. TMZ claims that a 911 call was placed at around 10:00 PM PT from the Ritz Carlton hotel located in downtown Los Angeles with regard to an attempted suicide.
They further allege that Braxton’s boyfriend, David Adefeso, was on the scene when emergency services arrived and that he told police officers she may have overdosed on a combination of pills and alcohol. EMT’s reportedly found Braxton unconscious when they attended, and the outlet’s sources are claiming that Adefeso relayed she had been upset earlier in the day and had threatened to take her own life.

Braxton, who formerly appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and is best known for the reality series Braxton Family Values, currently stars in a YouTube series titled Coupled and Quarantined along with Adefeso, though Thursday night’s expected installment was pulled with no explanation. The pair are also set to appear in Tamar Braxton: Get Ya Life, which is slated to run on WE tv. The singer and actress recently spoke out on Twitter, however, and was seemingly upset with the network’s treatment of her ventures as compared to the Kardashians.
Are we going to talk about pay…. I 100 percent wrote the theme song… where is the coin… our show is on Netflix…. where is the coin… 10 years on The air… we make 75 percent LESS than the kardashians. How come there are no villains on that show🤔 https://t.co/0dIueRQ2Dx

<p>Eric Forrester (John McCook) and his wife Stephanie always had a thorny relationship, in no small part because of his wandering eye. After leaving her for Beth Logan (Robin Riker), he was brought back home by one crisis after another, whether it was an impostor of an unknown child, or his sons shooting each other. Eventually, Eric’s interests drifted from Beth to her daughter Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang). Since he was divorcing Stephanie, they kept their affair quiet until it was finalized. They married and had Rick. She left him for his son Ridge, who it was soon revealed, wasn’t his biological son, but that of Massimo Marone (Joe Mascolo). Although Eric briefly married Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), who turned out to be dangerous and wound up in a mental institution, Eric’s relationship with Brooke never really went away. However, he did begin an affair with her sister, Donna (Jennifer Gareis). He eventually married her, in spite of Stephanie trying to subvert them and demean his role in the company. Sex with Donna put him in a coma, actually caused by Stephanie’s sister Pam (Alley Mills) feeding him a poisoned lemon bar. As he recovered, his family continued trying to break them up. The bad optics also wrought havoc with the company’s public image. After he fired Stephanie, everything got worse and sabotage led to Bill Spencer Jr. (Don Diamont) attempting to take over the company. Although blackmail saved Forrester for the family, things soured between Eric and his wife. He gradually reunited with Stephanie, whose lung cancer soon took her life. In his grief, he began a romance with Ridge’s other ex, Taylor Hayes (Hunter Tylo). However, this incensed Brooke, who wanted him to fake being the father of the child she was expecting thanks to Bill. Eric agreeing to keep this secret ruined his relationship with Taylor. Never alone for long, he started seeing Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer), which horrified his family, who refused to show up for their wedding. All the fighting in the family this caused was only made worse when Ridge kissed his new step-mother. Eric, once again, forgave this.</p>

<p>Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery) was the matriarch of the family and did her best to rule it. Unfortunately, she and the family tended to disagree on what was in their best interests, but she hardly let this get in her way. While Eric spent most of his time designing clothes and fighting his libido, she had to strategize to keep the business ahead and stay on top of her children’s messy personal lives. This even included hiring people to seduce them and resorting to violence to get people out of their lives. She forced Morgan DeWitt (Sarah Buxton) to abort Ridge’s child, a manipulation that would drive her over the edge and nearly got Stephanie’s granddaughter, Steffy killed. Perhaps no one felt her wrath more frequently than Brooke, who worked her way through most of the men in Stephanie’s life. She nearly murdered Brooke for taking up with Thorne and had a stroke when he proposed to her. While the two women were known to literally shoot at each other, perhaps the most extreme act was when Stephanie set Brooke up to be raped. In retaliation for this and other wrongs, Storm Logan (William deVry) shot her at a fashion show. Over the years, things softened between Brooke and Stephanie, especially after Ridge was assumed to be dead. This didn’t stop her from faking a heart attack to try and push him to reunite with Taylor when he turned up alive. Such scheming alienated her from the family, but a legal loophole that gave her control of the company turned that around. She worked with Bill Spencer to take revenge on Eric and Donna but went a step too far when she let Donna’s ill mother drown. When Stephen Logan (Patrick Duffy) went after her in revenge, she shot him. In the end, Stephanie reunited with Eric as she fell ill with lung cancer, reconciling with Brooke and the rest of the family.</p>

<p>Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss, Thorsten Kaye) was raised as the son of Eric and Stephanie Forrester. A talented designer, he would often be thrown into competition with his father in more ways than one. Competition was also felt from his brother, Thorne, as they vied for romance with Caroline Spencer (Joanna Johnson). When Thorne married her, Ridge took up with Brooke Logan, who dominated much of his life. After Caroline died, he went into therapy with Taylor Hayes. He fell for her and lurched between the two women for decades. After taking the fall for Brooke’s son Rick after he killed a man, he still managed to have three children with Taylor before getting his old lover Morgan DeWitt pregnant as well. A fight with Taylor led Morgan to miscarry and she went on the warpath. However, it was Sheila who ‘killed’ Taylor. Ridge suffered a second blow when it was revealed that Massimo Marone was his biological father. This also brought Nick Marone (Jack Wagner) into his life and the two battling for Brooke. When Brooke chose the other man, Ridge nearly died of a broken heart. Surviving, he dated her sister Donna for a while. After Brooke was raped, he reunited with her again, but Taylor, back from the dead, drew him away with pills and panic about protecting their daughter Steffy from Brooke’s son Rick. Although constantly tempted between the two women, Brooke’s tendency to have sex with other men, usually sent him back to Taylor. When the blonde began dating Bill Spencer, Ridge started dating her sister Katie (Heather Tom) but was soon drawn to Caroline Spencer (Linsey Godfrey), the niece of his former lover of the same name, and the wife of Rick, who he was in a bitter rivalry with for the CEO spot at Forrester. They married but she got pregnant by his son Thomas. Although Ridge tried to keep the paternity a secret, it eventually came out. Ridge ended things with her and went after Brooke again, only to be distracted by his new step-mother Quinn before entering a rivalry for Brooke with his brother Thorne once more.</p>

<p>Thorne Forrester (Winsor Harmon) is the biological son of Eric and Stephanie. He tended to be overshadowed by his brother Ridge, even taking his former lovers. After helping Brooke keep Ridge away from Caroline Spencer, he soon married her. As a revenge prank, Ridge slept with her. Drunk and on painkillers, Thorne shot his brother after discovering this. Stephanie covered it up. After his marriage to Caroline fell apart, Thorne pursued Donna Logan and Macy Alexander (Bobbie Eakes) at the same time. He married Macy, but their families’ hatred for each other got in the way. His inability to choose between women only intensified, and he wound up living with Macy and his girlfriend Karen Spencer (Joanna Johnson). Eventually, he chose Macy, but that failed, and he left for Paris. They reunited when she got throat cancer, but their relationship was foiled when his obsessive girlfriend Ivana Vanderveld (Monika Schnarre) was murdered and he was framed by Anthony Armando (Michael Sabatino). Eventually cleared, he and Macy split up and he went after Taylor, but she couldn’t shake her love for Ridge. Alienated from Forrester, he took over Spectra and started an affair with Brooke, which almost led to Stephanie murdering her. She disowned Thorne after he chose to be with Brooke, whose children sabotaged their relationship. For years, he went back and forth with Macy, accidentally getting Darla Einstein (Schae Harrison) pregnant one night while drunk. After Macy was killed by a chandelier, he had another falling out with his family and returned to running Spectra. The tension only got worse after Taylor accidentally killed Darla and her family tried to cover it up. Although Taylor and Thorne briefly had a relationship, the truth destroyed it and he went back to pursuing his step-mother, Donna, fitfully leaving town and fighting over control of Forrester.</p>

<p>Kristen Forrester (Tracy Melchior) was alienated early from her mother Stephanie. When she returned from New York, she was seduced by Clarke Garrison (Daniel McVicar).

<p>Eric “Rick” Forrester (Kyle Lowder, Jacob Young) is the son of Eric and Brooke Logan but mostly raised by Ridge. Living with Brooke and her frequent change of mates was hard for him, so much so that he wound up shooting one of them, Grant Chambers (Charles Grant), with Ridge taking the blame for him. As a teen, Rick continued to tempt danger, almost being killed drag racing and seducing babysitter, Amber Moore (Adrienne Frantz). He married her after getting her pregnant, but the baby died, and she took her cousin’s as a replacement. Their second child miscarried, and their marriage was fraught with dysfunction, thanks in part to Deacon Shape (Sean Kanan). As Amber spiraled into addiction, they split up. He then careened between women, including Phoebe and Taylor, at least partially out of resentment to Ridge. When he tried to seduce Phoebe’s sister Steffy, Phoebe attacked him, causing an accident that killed her. He dated Steffy anyway, before moving on to try and ruin Jackie Marone’s (Lesley-Anne Down) relationship and then seducing Caroline to advance his career at Forrester. His eyes soon drifted to Maya Avant (Karla Mosley), who he made a spokesmodel. He married Caroline but publicly kept Maya as his mistress. After degrading most of his family and friends, Bill Spencer hit back by breaking the news that Maya was transgender. Rick went on to marry her and her sister served as the surrogate for their child, Elizabeth. The three of them moved to Paris.</p>

After they agreed to see other people, she was horrified this meant he was dating her mother. Jessica started dating Sly Donovan (Brent Jasmer), who was eager to get married. When she wasn’t, he planned to get her pregnant against her will, so she faked being pregnant to humiliate him. She went back to Dylan, but this was awkward since he’d become a stripper.

<p>Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) is the daughter of Eric’s brother John. She grew up in Australia and her uncle Eric hired her to replace Quinn Fuller as a jewelry designer. If this wasn’t enough to make Quinn hate her, Ivy’s role in trying to unite Hope Logan (Kim Matula) and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) was. Ivy wound up falling for Liam herself and he reciprocated. This only made her place at Forrester more tenuous since Rick, the current CEO, held her in contempt and Steffy was going out of her way to seduce Liam back into her life. Ivy’s worries increased when she caught Steffy apparently murdering Aly with a tire iron. Although she and Liam were briefly married to keep her in the country, he dumped her to go back to Steffy. Ivy went on the warpath and hooked up with Wyatt Fuller (Darin Brooks). Her war with Steffy escalated, her cousin nearly electrocuting her.

<p>Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones, Jennifer Finnigan) was Eric’s second child with Brooke, though the paternity was questioned at first since she’d had sex with both he and Ridge around the time of conception. Thanks to Sheila Carter tampering with a paternity test, Ridge was named the father. By adolescence, Bridget had been shot in a drive-by and had her true paternity revealed. She ran away from home as a teen and fell for C.J. Garrison (Mick Cain). Later seduced by Deacon Sharpe, they eloped in Vegas, but their marriage floundered as he had an affair with her mom. After a few more failed relationships, she got engaged to Oscar Marone (Brian Gaskill), but that relationship ended before the wedding could occur.

<p>Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was supposedly killed by a shark as a toddler but actually kidnapped by the deranged Morgan DeWitt. After being recovered and getting back the mother who was presumed dead, Steffy went to boarding school. She began working for the family, turning down a proposal from Marcus and bonding with Rick in the grief over Phoebe’s demise. Although they were briefly engaged, they broke it off for causing too much family friction. She started making moves on Owen Knight and Bill Spencer Jr., the latter in part to take revenge on the Logans. The fight extended to publicly humiliating Hope and blackmailing Brooke for cheating on Ridge. Steffy continued to lust for Bill but his wife and her mom kept getting in the way. She worked with him to split up Liam and Hope and she even married Liam in a gondola. That didn’t last and Liam soon married Hope, which also didn’t last because Steffy was pregnant. She married Liam again but after she miscarried, he went back to Hope. Steffy’s energies were sunk into Forrester. After killing an unhinged Aly in self-defense, she proceeded to demoralize Ivy and electrocute her. She then worked with Ridge to try and destroy Quinn and keep her out of Eric’s life. That failed.

<p>Thomas Forrester (Pierson Fodé, Matthew Atkinson) is the son of Ridge and Taylor, although she initially tried to pass him off as Thorne’s to allow Ridge to be with Brooke. The blonde was in on this deception, and when Ridge learned of it, he dumped her and reunited with Taylor. They had twins soon after, and Thomas had a chaotic childhood. Although Brooke raised him for part of his childhood, their bond was tested when he grew up and they were stranded on an island together. After eating poison berries, they imagined having sex together. Once they were rescued, Stephanie tried to use this hallucination to break her son and Brooke up, but Thomas eventually made the truth clear. He dated his adoptive step-sister Hope, who dumped him when she learned it was at Steffy’s behest. Thomas then entered a rivalry with Rick, both for Caroline and for the presidency of Forrester. After spending a few years in Paris, he returned, and was quickly embroiled in Caroline’s life even as she prepared to marry is father. Although it came out that Thomas had impregnated her, Ridge insisted on passing the child off as his. Thomas finally got custody of his son, Douglas, after Caroline’s death. He then pursued Hope, keeping his knowledge that her baby was still alive a secret, and killing Emma Barber (Nia Sioux) to keep the truth from her.
