- Kevin Surratt claimed his late wife Traci Braxton's sisters are treating him like a bad husband.

Kevin Surratt claimed the sisters of his late wife Traci Braxton are treating him like a bad husband for planning a funeral service because they said it was against her wishes.
"I was with my wife … more than anybody in this world," Surratt told Page Six. "I know my wife, and when she got cancer, we really started to communicate about funeral plans and I was still trying to find treatments for her."
He added: "I went to every single one of her doctor appointments throughout our entire marriage. That's how we were, and now they're treating me like a [deadbeat] husband."
Earlier this month, Braxton died at age 50 from esophageal cancer. As previously reported by Insider, Surratt confirmed her death to TMZ, saying "we have come to a time where we must inform the public that after a year of privately undergoing a series of treatment for Esophageal cancer our beloved Traci Braxton has gone on to glory."
Surratt held a viewing for Braxton last week but her sisters — Toni Braxton, Tamar Braxton, Trina Braxton-Scales, and Towanda Braxton — and their mother Evelyn Braxton did not attend.
Surratt told Page Six that his father-in-law and brother-in-law "came in briefly."
The Braxton family is said to hold their own private memorial on April 2, which would have been Traci's 51st birthday.
Toni Braxton virtually appeared on the "Tamron Hall" show on Tuesday where she seemingly confirmed the memorial.
"Her birthday is coming up soon — on the second — and my sisters and I are going to celebrate and have a big Traci day… So, I'm excited about that," Braxton told Hall.
Representatives for Toni Braxton did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
