It seem like saga continues and the web of “entanglement” proceeds to weave surrounding Jada Pinkett-Smith, spouse Will Smith, and August Alsina. A new party is trying to chiming into the conversation, actress LisaRaye McCoy, as she not so far sat down and gave an admission that is sure to have tongues wagging.
“The Player’s Club” actress is not new to the media attention surrounding her connection. She’s been married and divorced twice, first to Tony Martin, a former NFL player, in 1992. This wedding lasted 2 years, and she would marry again in April 2006 to Michael Misick, the then Premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands, giving her the title “First Lady of Turks and Caicos.” It was then announced in August of 2008 that the duo would be divorcing, through a statement released by Misick.
Fast forward to July of 2018 where LisaRaye starred on ABC’s short-lived reality dating series, “The Proposal.” It was there that she would meet Anthony Bryant, a 44-year old sales representative and Chicago native such as herself. Out of 10 men fighting for her love, he would end up winning her love as he popped the question and she accepted. But, after a 1-month engagement, she decided to call it quits.
McCoy went onto Facebook Live to describe that she was happy to do the show, motivated by the fact that she was indeed seeking for love, and was “lonely”.” She said that the two had a lot of “friend energy,” but as far as their “connection” went, there was no spark. She said that although they tried, love wasn’t there.
For years, the actress has had the title “gold digger” attached to her. She even went on to mention those assertions, as it pertained to this situation as well as describing what it is she is actually looking for in a man.
“I don’t want to wear the pants in my connection. I wear the pants now,” she said in the clip. “I’m not going to be standing in someone’s face trying to figure out ‘How are we going to pay our bills?’ because we’re doing that naturally and normally on the level of survival.
So, I don’t want to hear that s–t about ‘Oh, she a gold digger.’ Like I said, gold digging is high school. I’m at platinum status now.
I want someone that will not be intimated by coming into my life, by sharing in my lifestyle because I’m not gone change that. Because if you can’t take it now where I’m at, then you’re not going to be able to handle it when I grow even more and I’m doing that everyday
