MAG COVER: LISARAYE TALKS ‘SINGLE LADIES’ DRAMA & MORE IN ‘JET’

May 18th, 2012

LisaRaye McCoy opens up about the drama that went down before Stacey Dash decided to leave VH1′s Single Ladies in the newest issue of JET magazine. In the May 28th issue, the actress addressed the rumors of her and Stacey Dash getting into arguments on set as well as which celebrity she had to let go as a friend:

ON THE DRAMA THAT WENT DOWN ON SET w/ STACEY DASH:
“Yes, there was a disagreement over a scene. And it really wasn’t with me. It was with the director. I think it was about 2 or 3AM and we’d been shooting all damn day. Stacey tried to argue with the director about a line. And I’m like: “Girl, if you don’t say what the director wants you to say.” It wasn’t that serious at first, but it went there.”

“It’s a bunch of women on the set. We might all be on our damn period at any given point. I just wanted us to move forward. Then the argument took on a life of its own. The show decided to use it for publicity. They just ran with it.”

ON THE CELEBRITY FRIEND SHE HAD TO LET GO:
“Duane Martin. I introduced him to my ex-husband [former Turks & Caicos Premier Michael Misick], he got buddy-buddy with him and then turned against me. Just recently, this fool Duane up and sold a building he and I bought awhile ago in Los Angeles, without asking…I don’t care if we’re not friends, just don’t try to f**k me in the interim.”

When I heard about him in the middle of Will & Jada’s divorce rumors, I tweeted: sounds familiar. He really aint got enough business. [SOURCE]

In the interview, LisaRaye also talks about her beef with Vivica Fox as well as moving on without Stacey Dash on the Single Ladies cast. You can find her full interview in the newest issue which is on newsstands now.

    I believe she just ousted Duane Martin being gay… She looks gorgeous on that cover despite her enormous cranium. Her with clothes on is definitely a good look.

      only folks keepin it real WRONG go on about “keeping it real” and usually “keeping it real” just means acting a damn fool over nothing….like tami roman, evelyn lozada, chrissy lampkins and every other hoodrat out there.

    She has been talking about Vivica since 2010 and Viv never responds. I’m thinking its a reason Vivica and Star Jones both stopped messing with her. She makes it seems everyone took her ex’s side; but maybe just maybe it was LR.

    SMH this woman is the defintion of DRAMA!! She keeps trying to compete with all these new younger women and even some of her peers who actually have acting creditbility she needs to stop. I knew there was a deeper reason Stacey Dash left the show, whatever disagreement she had with the director or producer LisaRaye shoulda stayed outta it. So what theyve been shooting all day, that comes apart of the territory when you’re in the buisness, she’s lucky to even have a job. She’s sucha a sneaky rat, Poor Kai (her daughter) she has a gold digging media whore of a rodent for a mother

    The bottom line is getting rid of Stacy was not good for Lisa. Now she is the old biotch on the show. They replaced Stacy with a 28yr old. Lisa…..Girl u done messed up.

    I don’t care for the show at all, but Lisa Raye cannot act at all. She was only tolerable on “All Of Us” with Duane Martin.

    Lisa Raye is a beautiful woman, but I really wish she would learn to keep it classy!

    It doesn’t seem like there’s any environment that she can enter without starting some kind of beef. That’s not a good look for her as a business woman.

    If she had any knowledge or training as a professional actress, she would know that you don’t comment to another actor who’s getting direction from the director. Do your job and let everyone else do theirs.

    LisaRaye, you are not professional, and you are not a great (or good) actress. You are probably one step up from D level.

    Why you people would let Stacey Dash go is your own demise. Nothing against the new girl, but make an honest actress out of her and stop making her walk and talk like Stacey Dash!!!! It’s trifling. If you wanted all that Stacey brought you should have kept her and gotten rid of the trouble!!!!!!!!
