TISHA & DUANE MARTIN IN HOLLYWOOD; INFO ON INFAMOUS RUMOR
Thursday, August 9, 2007
Here are a few candids of Tisha Campbell-Martin & Duane Martin leaving Meagan Good’s b-day party at Les Deux in Hollywood Tuesday Night. According to the caption they were waiting for their valet to bring the car around. As I look at these pictures a bunch of questions come up. Why is Duane all up in that other lady’s face and not talking to his wife? Why isn’t Tisha wearing her wedding ring?
As most of you probably already know, a rumor was circulating Inboxes claiming that Duane Martin came out of the closet and told Tisha he was gay. It had some bogus TMZ link and article title to make people think it was true. It also stated that the two were getting a divorce. I purposely didn’t post any of the rumors that were going around about them because I was waiting for some legit info to come out.
Jawn Murray of AOL Black Voices got some of the scoop earlier this week:
Tisha Campbell-Martin and hubby Duane Martin are not separated, according to a friend of the ‘My Wife & Kids’ star. A pal of the actress, who asked to remain anonymous, said that the former ‘Martin’ star is aware of the rumor and feels it doesn’t even warrant a response. Apparently, Martin and her ‘All of Us’ husband usually participate in a prison outreach event together in Pennsylvania. When she attended the event solo this year, rumors began on a Philadelphia radio station that they were having marital problems and are separated. In addition, the e-mail circulating online claiming that TMZ.com reported on a split is completely bogus! [SOURCE]
Don’t know what’s up with that, but pictures are worth a thousand words! What’s ur take?

It’s looks like they are trying to work it out before getting a divorce. They look like that are having fun. Except pic 1-Tisha looks like she’s thinking “I know, she betta step back…”

I remember reading about that on BV a long time ago.. I think in one of those blind items.. it was about a black tv star that got turned out at one of those infamous Hollywood DL parties. It said that he started broadcasting his business and running all up in dudes faces at those parties.. The hint to who he was that he shaved his moustache. I remember watching the show and he had a moustache on the early episodes but he didn’t have it anymore on the newer ones… So, I thought it was him..

I don’t believe the rumors and am glad they are not letting it affect them. It’s crazy to me how we read so much into a picture. It’s snap shots, what do you expect? I think you all are overanalyzing too much.
They will be on the cover of the next issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine.

I love Tisha I really do but she can’t wear clothes right to save her life.
I think they may have been having some marriage problems but the letter seems like a hoax written by a person with a personal vendetta. A scorned mistress perhaps?
Either way, I hope the two weather the storm.
@14. Naw. A BLack man would have come up with a better story than one that attacks his manhood and could shut down his career.

I DON’T BELIEVE DUANE’S GAY AT ALL, BUT I BELIEVE THERE’S A POSSIBILITY THAT HE MAY BE A WOMANIZER.
REMEMBER LAST YEAR, THERE WAS A *BLIND ITEM* ABOUT AN AFRICAN AMERICAN ACTRESS WHO PLAYED ON A TV SHOW WHO WAS LEAVING THE SHOW B/C SHE WAS BEING SEXUALLY HARRASSED BY HER CO-STAR WHO IS MARRIED AND WELL-KNOWN IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. HE IS A NOTORIOUS WOMANIZER, BUT WHEN HIS WIFE VISITS THE SET OF THE TV SHOW, HE ACTS TOTALLY DIFFERENT…BEING AFFECTIONATE W/ HIS WIFE AND ACTING AS IF HE IS SO “IN LOVE” W/ HER. I READ THE COMMENTS AND 95%, INCLUDING ME SAID THE ANSWER WAS ELISE NEAL AND DUANE MARTIN. YOU NOTICED THAT ELISE WAS NO LONGER ON THE SHOW AFTER THE 2ND SEASON….

I truly hope the rumors are false. They are a cute couple IMO. They are the type of couple that seem like they kick it hard and are good friends in addition to being husband and wife. The pics don’t mean anything. She could be a rude fan that doesn’t care that his wife is standing by. Time will tell.

The chick in the first pic is feeling on him like he’s her property or something…for all we know, they could be swingers, LOL
This is the 1st i’ve heard of the gay rumors, but i doubt that. I hope they stay together, black love is beautiful and i always liked them as a couple…when she guest starred on his show, i thought it was so cute!

I mean the rumor is pausible. Duane Martin is fine, but I hope he isn’t gay and I most definately hope they aren’t getting a divorce. Because it’s alot of that going around these days. If they are going through some problems, I hope they can work them out and solve them without having to divorce.

We have been hearing the rumors about Duane being Gay for years. For them to keep rehashing there must be some truth some where. You just dont come out and continously call a man gay. Just because you have a wife and kids doesn’t mean you cant creep.

I don’t believe he’s gay at all. Now they may be having trouble with their marriage but I doubt it involves another man. I just can’t see if it was true that the would be frontin in public Tish don’t look like she play that shyt at all.

I always liked Duane and Tisha as a couple. It’s nice to see that is just a rumor.
I’m so tired of people putting out the wrong information. Calling people gay when they aren’t and accusing people of things they would never do. I think Duane is not gay, they have been married for years, I’m hoping Tisha is intelligent enought to know when a man is straight or gay. However that is a rumor, her man is straight.

OK, I’m not wearing my wedding ring this week because it’s at the jeweler’s being repaired because the stone was loose. And I’ve walked out the house a 1,000 times forgetting to put it on. The other woman in the picture’s coloring is close enough to Duane’s that she could be a relative - a sister or a cousin. Whatever the state of their marriage, Tisha doesn’t strike me as the type that would allow Duane to disrespect her in any way shape or form. She didn’t let Martin Lawrence do it - walked away from a very successful sitcome because he was trying to dog her out.

I think the rumors are false. People try to make everyone gay. If a man smiles too much hes gay. These pictures are milliseconds of what really happenned. A picture means nothing.

If anyone read the article in Peoples Magazine a few months ago when Holly Robinson-Pete was discussing how her son was diagnosed with Aspegers a form of Autisim, she also mentioned that Tisha-Campbell and Duane has an Autistic child as well. I have a son that is Autistic and it is very hard to have him out in public, many of times my husband stays home to care for him, because he can handle him better. This does not mean my husband and myself are separated and having marital problems, just other problems that we have to get through. Many of times people have know way of understanding what a person is experiencing.

If they were truly trying to hide marital problems, they would certainly keep their rings on. I think Tisha and Duane have a beautiful relationship and they have friends. What’s wrong with someone else touching him? They’ve been married forever. If you can’t have a relationship where your friends can interact with your husband without it being “suspect” then you don’t need to be n that relationship.
As a couple, I think they are really cute and they look like they enjoy each other’s company. I mean a pic can come out alot of different ways and people say all of kinds of crap. How many times have you ever taken a picture where you were blinking or something and it came out looking like you were high or drunk?
For people to draw a complete conclusion about the status of their relationship based on one or two snapshots is just wrong.

What does them having an autistic child have to do with Duan possibly being gay? Or reports that their marriage is in trouble?

People can start a rumor and say all kinds of slanderous shit about the best of them. Since they have not announced a divorce, or separation, why speculate?
They seem to be a regular married couple, struggling with raising a developmentally challenged child. I am sure they have their good days and bad, but they seem to be working it out.

@ #44…my mother never wears her wedding ring, she ALWAYS and forever is forgetting to put that thing on and my parents have been together almost 30 years with no thoughts of divorce in the picture!
And I don’t believe that man is gay until I see some concrete evidence. If Denial (The Nile) is a river in Egypt…I’m backstroking in that muther____ b.cuz I flat out refuse to think that man is gay.

I don’t know what is going on with these two. I heard on another blogsite, that Duane Martin had flown to Turks/Caacos Island and was greeted by no other than Lisa Raye’s husband, the Prime Minister a last week. I do not know if the rumors where true, in the fact that Duane/Tisha needed to get it together for the media or what? I know that because they are so closely knit with Will/Jada, even if this was true, there is no way they are going to let these rumors fly…remember we heard about Jada’s lover and when the swinging stuff first came out…and then it just like disappeared off the face of the planet? I am most positive, that if this is true, they ain’t breaking up anytime soon for the sake of “saving face” for them and the Smith’s.

I won’t believe anything until they confirm it. Its not like he is going to come out and say I’m gay or anything. I agree that when you get a lil something the hate parade is going to start. Its the CRAB mentality people want what you have and envy sets in because they don’t have the tools or know how to get it. In addition everyone knows that the worst rumor you can release about a black man is that he is gay especially if he is in the public eye. Unfortunately our community would rather start a crusade against gay black men than against all the ones who sell CRACK on the corner every day and kill the community through the slavery of dependence.
