According to TMZ, it turns out that pneumonia wasn't what the The Real co-host was suffering from, but rather something much worse: she had blood clots on both sides of her lungs.

Taking to Instagram, Tamar explained just how severe her condition really is, detailing it all in a lengthy caption under a photo of her lying in a hospital bed with her DWTS partner, Val Chmerkovskiy.

Seeing as the Braxton Family Values breakout star was a true contender for the mirror ball trophy, this is sad news, but her health comes first. Get better soon, Tamar!
