LisaRaye McCoy Says She Wants To Move Past Duane Martin Helping Her Ex-Husband Cheat

LisaRaye McCoy is Open to Going on a Date With Meek Mill After Expressing Interest in Her OnlyFans

Today, June 16, we will get to see the cast of Martin reunite for the first time in over two decades. Before the reunion, Tisha Campbell said that she and Martin had worked hard to reconnect. After the final season of Martin, in which Lawrence and Tisha had not performed any scenes together for the duration of the season, Tisha would go on to file a lawsuit against Lawrence, citing sexual battery and harassment.

Much like Tisha Campbell, Players Club actress LisaRaye McCoy added that she would like to move on from Duane Martin, Tisha Campbell’s ex-husband, for helping her husband cheat.

McCoy spoke on this while on Cocktails with Queens. “The chemistry’s gon’ be right, so they’re gon’ give us a little bit of what we’ve always been looking at in the old story, you know, the old episodes in the beginning. So, I’m glad, and I think this is a teachable moment of again, maturity. That you grow away from that. The fact that she could do that, I think, is huge, because we all heard about it.”

While nobody knew what she was referencing, McCoy started by talking about her ex-husband, Chief Minister of Turks & Caicos, Michael Misick, before saying, “I just pray maybe I can feel that way about her ex-husband.”

McCoy met Misick in 2005 and married in 2006. However, things quickly fell apart two years later when Misick was caught being unfaithful to Lisa Raye, and Duane Martin had something to do with it. In a 2019 episode of Uncensored, LisaRaye explained that Duane Martin would “[become] disrespectful with introducing my husband to different women and women that we knew as friends and associates.” The two would later get a divorce in 2008.

Martin was one of the most popular sitcoms in the 90s, and fans were excited to hear that the cast would be coming back almost 30 years after the show ended for a reunion. However, what cannot be forgotten is the turmoil that ensued between Tisha Campbell and Martin Lawrence.

Tisha Campbell had sued Martin Lawrence, claiming that he subjected her to verbal abuse, sexual battery, and sexual harassment. Lawrence would go on to deny the accusations. The case was settled out of court but resulted in Campbell not performing in any scenes with Lawrence during the show’s fifth season, ruined the relationship between Campbell and Lawrence, and played a part in the show ending.

In a recent interview with CBS Mornings, Campbell spoke about the upcoming reunion and discussed resolving things with Martin Lawrence.

“We are—we worked really hard to reconnect, to forgive, and to really, this reunion is about a celebration of everything that we did, everything that we accomplished, and our growth as human beings,” Campbell said.. “So, we connected mostly on that.”

The reunion episode is set to premiere on BET+ on June 16. According to a statement from BET+, “The cast will look back on the show’s most hilarious moments, revisit the iconic characters Martin made famous and pay an emotional tribute to the late, great Tommy Ford. Complete with musical performances and drop-ins by celebrity super fans, Martin: The Reunion brings back the wazzup wazzup wazzup passion fans have been waiting for.”
