Braxton's revelation quickly drew a wave of responses online. Someone questioned the lack of detail, "How you don't know what happened to you?!. I need a backstory for this one ☝🏾."

A second observed, "There had to be some major impact and trauma to her body. If she can post to social media she definitely has the wherewithal to find out what caused her major injuries."

In 2020, Braxton was reportedly rushed to a Los Angeles hospital after being found unresponsive in her hotel room. At the time, it was believed to be a possible suicide attempt following mounting stress over her contract with WeTV.

Police confirmed they received a call describing the emergency as a possible overdose, and she remained under close medical care.

In a since-deleted Instagram post days later, Braxton described how the pressures of her career had left her feeling defeated. "In this present moment, it is my only responsibility to be real with myself and to be real with the ones who truly love me and care for my healing," she wrote.

She explained that she felt mistreated and exploited in her work, saying the network had overworked and underpaid her. She revealed that she had asked to be released from what she considered an unfair contract, but her requests were ignored.

Braxton described the experience as losing her sense of self, as though she were "no longer living" for her own purpose but only for the benefit of a television network.

Five years earlier, in 2015, Braxton had to step away from "Dancing with the Stars (DWTS)" after being hospitalized. Before this, she had collapsed during rehearsals and was initially told she had pneumonia, but further testing revealed a more serious condition.

From her hospital bed, Braxton informed fans in a now-deleted social media post that her time on "DWTS" had ended. She explained that doctors discovered she was not suffering from pneumonia, as initially thought, but from several pulmonary embolisms (PE), or blood clots in both lungs.

Braxton expressed her gratitude to her dance partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, describing him as more than just a partner and crediting him for his support during her health crisis.

Chmerkovskiy also showed his concern by posting a photo of the two of them together in the hospital, accompanied by sad emojis and a supportive hashtag.

A spokesperson for "DWTS" producer BBC Worldwide Productions confirmed that Braxton would not continue on the show and emphasized that her health and recovery were "paramount."
