And finally…LisaRaye McCoy gives up the goods on what really went down with her and
Stacey Dash…and Stacey’s sudden departure from their VH1 show “Single Ladies.” In an
exclusive interview with JET magazine, the former Premier of Turks & Caicos’ wife refuses
to take the blame for Stacey leaving…but does admit a catfight or two ensued.
Now, Lisa Raye finally gives up the details. Here’s the highlights:
On moving on without Stacey Dash who played her best friend on the show:
Believe me I wish things had worked out because I thought Stacey and I were great together.
She was my age and we were working it. It was sex-symbol to sex-symbol. But she didn’t want
to be there. I was disappointed about that. She had some issues. I’m not sure exactly what
those issues were. In the end, she and VH1 made a decision.
On the catfights that really went down on set
Yes, there was a disagreement over a scene. And it really wasn’t with me. It was with the dir-
ector. 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 which Hollywood friend she had to dump
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 fam-
iliar. He really aint got enough business.
Pick up JET to see what LisaRaye had to say about whether she’s feeling her new co-star, Den-
ise Vasi, and if she and Vivica Fox ever squashed their beef!
