LisaRaye McCoy is featured on the cover of Upscale magazine's April 2010 issue. And boy did she go in! FYI, for those men out there who're interested in LisaRaye , if you don't have any money or power, don't even try to come at her in any form or fashion. In her interview, LisaRaye dished on everything going in her life: a new reality show on TVOne, her gold digger status, her fall-out with her former BFF's Star Jones and Vivica Fox and those rumors regarding Rocsi hooking up with her former husband ("I looked up on the Internet and saw pictures of Rocsi in my backyard. I have never invited her to my house and I didn't know she knew my husband like that."). And she even admits (as though we didn't already know) that she wasn't in love with him when they married. Peep the excerpts below:
LISARAYE ON WHY SHE'S ATTRACTED TO POWERFUL MEN, LOVES BEING SPOILED: "My whole life has been a fairytale. Every man that I have ever dated has always been powerful, had money and been generous to me. He (her ex-husband) was just the next in line. It was like this is how I am supposed to treated. My father was my first introduction to power. I am attracted to power. So when people always ask me why you always date a man with money, why in the hell wouldn't I? I have my own lifestyle, it's like, I'm not going for less than what I have. If I can't be spoiled because he is not that generous, loving and caring, I don't want you. Go to the next one. I can wait. I don't know what it is not to be pampered and spoiled. I don't even want to try it. That's like saying to me, I'ma be broke. What do you mean? What? No. That don't work for me. That's not an option for me. I've never been that."
LISARAYE ON HER FALLOUT WITH STAR JONES & VIVICA & WHY SHE HAS SINCE REACHED OUT TO THEM: "Star had my damn back. She is a friend, a confidante and the bitch is smart. I never realized it was a problem until I looked up on day and realized I hadn't spoken to her in so long that I was like, 'Damn, where is she?' Then I started hearing about the little shit that Vivica was saying--that I f*cked it up for all of us--I guess black women, or whatever--and I am thinking, why wouldn't she say these things to me? I said, 'Well, tell her to use her own influence to get what the f*ck she wants to get!" Never did I think that anything that I was going through would affect you and your career so much. Sorry." *Kanye shrug* I have reached out to both of them and asked what happened and what is their definition of a friendship. Where are they? I know a New York Daily News article came out saying that my new reality show was about revenge and airing out our dirty laundry, but I'm too grown for all of that. I would never tell any of my friends' business, even if we aren't friends anymore. There is no interest for me in that."
LISARAYE ON HER NEW REALITY SHOW, 'THE REAL McCOY": "I am excited about the show, and I wasn't at first, but now I am. The show is about me, a celebrity transitioning from being the first lady of a country she knew very little about, and that fairytale-turned-nightmare. It's about me returning to Hollywood to pursue my career. The drama of all the rumors I've had to face involving what really happened in Turks & Caicos. It allows my fans to support me and my haters to hate me more."
LISARAYE ON WHY SHE HOLDS NO HARD FEELINGS TOWARD HER EX-HUSBAND: "I don't feel bad about any of it. I was the famous face attached to Turks & Caicos that made [the marriage] what it was. That has helped his country. I believe that he cared about his country and he was a great leader for them. He brought a lot of money to that country and a lot of awareness. We both did. I am proud of that, very proud. Now, did he want his legacy to end his way? No! But I would get married again because I am a fan of love, I am a fan of a partnership, and it is much easier to fight this thing called life with someone by your side."

lisaraye is gorgeous. i hate the sound of her voice though. but i really want to see what she have to say so that's why i'll be tuning in to her show.
ReplyDeletebeautiful lady but she is going to be by her self for a long time with that attitude. marrying for money and not for love is not the way to go.
ReplyDeleteLisa says the most ignorant shit sometimes. 'let the haters hate'. Um you a grown ass woman and grown ass women don't say stuff like that. Lisa will always be Diamond to me. The only meaningful role she has since Diamond was that role she had in that All of Us show. SInce then she's became nothing but a pain in the ass. Look like she back at square one: BROKE AS HELL.
ReplyDeleteAin't nobody hating on you boo-boo. Trust.
WHO SHE KIDDING?! What she mean she don't know what it's like not to be pampered and broke? Lisa girl stop playing! Just stop!
ReplyDeleteBeing used by a country of fools is not my idea of a good time.
ReplyDeleteher acting is terrible, terrible, terrible! even in her trailer for her new show it's just terrible. just awful!
ReplyDeletelet's be honest. Men look at the physical attributes and women look for security.
ReplyDeleteLisa is no different than kim Kardashian.
Lisa's fault is believing that others somehow envy or hate her.
Sweetie only D-List actor & actresses do the reality show thing. That's when you've fallen so far down from the A List that your groveling at any meat left on the bone.
Do your own thing Lisa, & stop watching the others that might be in the race...
