LisaRaye McCoy recently opened up in an interview with Carlos King, revisiting the drama-filled days of her marriage to Michael Misick, the former Prime Minister of Turks and Caicos.
This isn’t the first time LisaRaye has spoken out about her rocky relationship with Misick. She candidly shared how his infidelity and reckless behavior pushed their marriage to the breaking point. “He was out in the streets, doing the most,” she revealed, adding that Misick was so brazen he even brought his mistresses to their home while she was there.
One of the most heartbreaking betrayals, according to LisaRaye, involved Nicole Murphy—Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife and someone LisaRaye considered a friend. Finding out Nicole had been involved with her husband was a tough pill to swallow.
This isn’t the first time Nicole Murphy has faced accusations of being a “homewrecker.” She’s also been linked to Antoine Fuqua, who is married to actress Leila Rochon. These incidents have sparked plenty of chatter about Nicole’s controversial actions.
LisaRaye explained how she discovered the affair. Misick owned a private plane, and LisaRaye had access to the flight logs. When she saw Nicole’s name on the list of passengers, her suspicions were confirmed. “It all started to make sense,” she said.
The whole situation was a whirlwind of betrayal and heartbreak, but LisaRaye’s willingness to speak out shows her strength in facing the messy truths of her past.
Interviewer: “You’ve said that Nicole Murphy had relations with your ex-husband. Were you two friends?”
LisaRaye: “Friends? Not exactly. We were more like acquaintances—birthday parties, mutual events, stuff like that. I’d been to her house, and she even came to my bachelorette party. Funny enough, my mom warned me about her that day. She said, ‘Watch that one.’ I didn’t think much of it at the time. I just said, ‘That’s Eddie Murphy’s wife,’ but my mom saw something I didn’t.”
Lisa went on: “When her name came up later, I tried to call her. At first, she denied everything, saying, ‘I’ve never been to Turks and Caicos.’ But things didn’t add up. Then she stopped taking my calls altogether. At the time, she was dating Michael Strahan, so I reached out to him. I asked, ‘Do you know anything about this?’ We talked, and I even sent him a tape I had as proof.”
Interviewer: “What was on the tape?”
LisaRaye: “It showed her dropping Michael off at a private airport. They drove up to the gate, got out of the car, and walked to the plane. That’s when I thought, ‘Oh, so y’all do know each other.’ For me, that was all the confirmation I needed. I felt completely disrespected.”
Dwayne Martin’s Role in LisaRaye’s Marriage Drama
But that wasn’t the only drama LisaRaye faced. Things got even messier when she talked about how actor Dwayne Martin interfered in her marriage to Michael Misick, the former Prime Minister of Turks and Caicos.
LisaRaye has opened up about this before, including in her TV One Uncensored interview. Initially, Dwayne was a friend and co-star on her show All of Us. But according to her, he crossed serious boundaries.
“Dwayne was like a snake,” LisaRaye explained. “He got too involved in my marriage. He would show up at my house even when Michael wasn’t there. He had no business being there. It was like he was trying to replace me—not romantically, but as Michael’s Hollywood connection.”
The Dynamics of LisaRaye and Michael Misick’s Marriage
LisaRaye revealed that her marriage to Michael wasn’t just about love—it was also a partnership. Michael valued her Hollywood connections, and she benefited from his political influence. Together, they were a power couple.
But Dwayne allegedly tried to undermine her role. He introduced other women to Michael and enabled his infidelity. “He was doing all of this while cheating on his own wife, Tisha Campbell. I couldn’t stand that,” LisaRaye said.
“When I told Dwayne I didn’t want him around anymore, he didn’t listen. He’d still show up, even flying to Turks and staying at our property without Michael being there. It was so disrespectful.”
Interviewer: “He stayed at your house?”
LisaRaye: “Yes. My butler would come to me and say, ‘First Lady, Mr. Martin is here. The Premier is not. Should he stay in the main house or the guest house?’ I wanted to tell my butler, ‘Send him away,’ but I didn’t want to put him in the middle of it.
“Even after I made it clear he wasn’t welcome, he’d still show up. I had a conversation with him one-on-one and said, ‘What are you doing? My marriage is new. Whatever you do in your own marriage, leave mine alone.’ Do you know what he said? ‘If it ain’t me, it’s gonna be somebody else.’ I was shocked by how blatant he was.”
LisaRaye also shared that her ex-husband, Michael, may have seen Dwayne as someone who could replace her Hollywood connections. “It felt like Michael thought, ‘I don’t need LisaRaye anymore—Dwayne can bring me what I want from Hollywood.’ That was devastating to hear. It was like being completely betrayed by both of them.”
Honestly, Dwayne really is a snake. And I mean that. He did Tisha dirty, he did Lisa Ray dirty, and that’s exactly why they ended up bonding over it. They were both hurt by what he did, and it really traumatized them. Now, I’m not saying Lisa Ray’s ex was any better—he was messed up too. But Dwayne knew exactly what he was doing. He always wanted to take Lisa Ray’s spot, so don’t let him fool you.
But let’s switch gears for a second. Have you heard about Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors? They’re engaged! Yes, you heard that right—Meagan and Jonathan! The news came out recently, and I don’t know how to feel about it yet. I want to be positive, but there’s a lot to unpack here.
Their relationship has already faced a ton of scrutiny. People were questioning why Meagan was supporting Jonathan when he was going through his assault trial with his ex, Grace Jabari. She was showing up at court for him, and people were side-eyeing her, asking, “Why are you doing this?” But Meagan stuck by him, not believing the media’s portrayal of him as some kind of monster.
Here’s the thing: The incident was definitely blown out of proportion. It was really about Jonathan texting another woman, and when Grace found out, she got upset. She grabbed his phone, and they fought over it. During the struggle, she hurt her fingers, and Jonathan, being strong, just wanted to get away from the situation. He jumped out of the car and started running, and she chased after him. That’s what it all came down to. The trial and the aftermath were way more dramatic than the situation itself deserved.
Still, Jonathan was found guilty and lost a lot because of that one incident. I get why Meagan stood by him. She didn’t see him as the villain everyone else made him out to be. Even though there were previous incidents of verbal aggression and other allegations, Meagan chose to support him, and that came at a cost. They’ve both faced a lot of judgment for it, and some of it still lingers.
Lately, though, people seem to be warming up to them. Meagan has done a good job of helping Jonathan repair his image, and it looks like they’re getting more support these days. But there’s still some gossip flying around.
There was one report that really shocked me, though. It claimed that Meagan has been paying for Jonathan’s lifestyle—like, paying his $75,000 dog training bill and even helping with child support and other expenses. I really hope that’s not true because if it is, it’s a huge red flag. It makes it seem like Meagan’s being taken advantage of, and I don’t want to see that happen to her. I don’t know Jonathan personally, and he might be treating her right, but it definitely seems like there are some things she might be overlooking because she’s in love.
This is why I’m kind of torn on how I feel about their relationship. I want to support them, but it’s hard when there are so many questions. All I can do is wish them the best. I really hope Jonathan gets his career back on track, and I hope Meagan finds the happiness she deserves.
Remember, she tried so hard to make her marriage with DeVon Franklin work, but he left her. Now he’s with a new woman, trainer and model Maria Castillo, and they seem happy. I want Meagan to have that same happiness.
I just hope Jonathan treats her well and doesn’t take her for granted once his career is back on track. I really don’t want to hear about any problems between them in the future. I just want to see them both happy.
But anyway, I’d love to hear what you think about this. Drop your thoughts in the comments below, and if you care about this topic, make sure to like, share, and subscribe. Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you in the next one. Bye!
