Singer Tamar Braxton took to social media saying a Dallas bar turned her away Monday night for looking "like a gangster." In an Instagram story post, Braxton said, "Evidently I look like a gangster. I can't go in this establishment," she said. The bar at the center of the controversy, JR's Bar and Grill on Cedar Springs Road in Dallas, responded after receiving a wave of backlash. The eatery acknowledged Braxton was turned away, but did not elaborate as to why she was denied entry. "Our posted policies regarding entrance into JR’s Bar & Grill are to both ensure the safety of all our customers and to certify that our staff are in accordance with the law when serving alcohol – without exception," JR's Bar and Grill said in a statement released to NBC 5. Braxton was in Dallas to perform at The Great Xscape Tour at Verizon Theatre on Dec. 13.
