VIDEO: LISARAYE SPEAKS ON HER SEPERATION FROM MICHAEL MISICK

Friday, August 15, 2008

For the past week or so, rumor after rumor has been coming out about LisaRaye McCoy-Misick and her estranged husband, Dr. Michael Misick, the Premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands. We all know about his alleged rape allegations, but just this week alone the internet has been going nuts about their apparent fight on Wednesday, which resulted in both of them being treated for “bite marks”.

The actress spoke to Turks And Caicos news on Thursday and spoke a little on their separation. She really didn’t address the rumors, but said she would pray for Misick and be uplifting. She also said that Turks and Caicos is her home and she didn’t plan on leaving anytime soon.

Keep reading to view both of their official statements on the matter. Talk about some drama..

“It is with great sadness that I have to announce that my husband and I have separated.

Last night, Wednesday August 13, 2008, an attempt was made by and on behalf of my husband to first prevent my entry into our home and then, later, to make me leave our home by force.

It was necessary for me to receive medical treatment for injuries suffered and in relation to those injuries I shall continue to assist the police force with its inquiries.

Whilst it is my sincere wish to avoid unnecessary conflict, I shall not be intimidated, nor shall those individuals whose job it is to protect and represent me.

I ask that my privacy be respected in these difficult times and I believe that the people of the TCI will understand and support my wish to receive the necessary independent representation from the legal counsel of my choosing. I hope that, in time, the TCI government will come to share that view.

Although I have always been a supportive wife even in light of the very serious allegations currently pending against the Premier, there are limits even for me.

I continue to have the utmost respect for the people of the TCI who have always shown me kindness and support. I vow to continue my work amongst the people of Turks and Caicos Islands.

Until recently I had hoped that I would be able to continue to assist my husband during what will undoubtedly be difficult times ahead for him. I do not wish to have to add to his difficulties.”

LisaRaye McCoy-Misick
First Lady of the Turks & Caicos Islands.

“I am committed to dissolving the marriage amicably. I believe that this is a private matter and will have no further comments.”
