Comment: welp, other wealthy wives deal with this all the time. it's all about what you sign up for. they need to gone 'head and have their "agreement." he needs to be more discreet - cuz his affairs ain't nothing new, he was rumored to be a playboy for a minute now - and she'll also have to be discreet with her boy toys. of course, there's finances and status to be considered, but these type of things are nothing new for the "upper crust crew."

Comment: Music's probably laffing somewhere..."She ain't going nowhere"...I'm still hitting that and if she brings home a friend, I'm gonna hit that too...I am Music and I write the songs!!!!...I write the songs that make this Island sing..I write the songs of all freaky things...I write the songs that make Lisa Raye cry..I am Misick and I write the soooooongs!!!!

Name: DCGG
Comment: Mmm Mmm Mmmm Mmm...

Name: nightshift
Comment: Boot, boot, BOOT!! I'm suprised she went back. You can get served in the states and if I'm not mistaken there's cars here as well. And what status? You know those people don't like her, them carribs are some spiteful people and don't mind doing strange things to folks (especially their own kind), when the fur gets bent. This little black duck is gwine home.

Name: Quanli
Comment: This makes sense. Divorced for what when's she been stroking that ball player for how many years now? Put it like this, she is doing her thing & he is doing his thing. It's not like she has a career to fall back on so why not continue to be "somebody" of a lil island?

Name: lilmocc
Comment: I think their marriage is an "arrangement" anyway, but I think he is supposed to be waayyy more discreet with it to keep up outward appearances. I read an interview about them when they were first married and Lisa Raye did most of the talking and some of her answers lead me to believe that this wasn't a marriage for love, but perhaps 2 people who are looking for something (he to shed his playboy image and she to play up a new sophisticated image) and they were able to assist one another.

Name: gingerg
Comment: The bottom line: this is a convenient arrangement for both of them. She left because she was temporarily embarrassed. She weighed the pros and cons and decided that there were more benefits. I just hope that she isn't risking her life in the process. What an empty, shallow life when things are more important than peace of mind.

Name: katgrrrl
Comment: Maybe they've got some kinda open relationship agreement? I hope this brotha ain't a rapist cos that's a horrible crime. Most likely, Lisaraye's signed a pre-nup which is most likely air-tight UNLESS she has his child. She might stick around, drop his seed and THEN seek a divorce.

Name: MzTee
Comment: Makes no sense for old girl to instruct her publicist to make statements alluding to a divorce and accuse the man of infidelity and then go back to him. The next statement we'll see from her publicist is the request for privacy while she and her husband work on their marriage. I swear I am so tired of some of these celebrities living their private lives in public. I wish we could return to yesteryear when folks knew how to be stars and kept their business on the DL.

Name: Stephanie
Comment: Oh, get a life!

Name: mandinka_99
Comment: MzTee re: "...I wish we could return to yesteryear when folks knew how to be stars and kept their business on the DL." You wanna go back to the time before Internet chatrooms & forums and before YouTube! Back then, people got all their dirt and gossip from the National Enguirer! LOL!

Name: gingerg
Comment: Say what you will about the Enquirer, they are all up in John Edwards' business.

Name: cookyd
Comment: Thank You Gingerg!! The way CNN and them was carrying on you thought they had broke the story. Lisa remembered she no longer had a Tv show and she said(In her best Gilda Radner voice from SNL)never mind.LMAO

Name: TheQuietGuy
Comment: I just have one question-why is she a gold digger-just because she has dated a couple of folks and then married a guy who had some money? man there are many women that do they same thing everyday but dont get called the names that lisa raye does. Let us not forget whitney has been around the block a few times before she married Bobby brown- and there are others.

Name: Southernbelle
Comment: Hey, money talks and B.S. walks. Welcome home LisaRaye.

Name: PTown
Comment: Quanli, gingerg, and lilmocc: Totally on the same page with you. Bottomline. I believe that there was a mutual Russell/Kimora arrangement going on with both of them. Cheaper to keep her. Simple as that. Gingerg - you were dead on when she said she was temporarily embarassed. She waited until things quieted down and moved her behind back on end. Neither one of them really care enough to make a move, so that's on them. It's one thing to forgive someone for their actions, okay, I get that, but what he does looks like a blantant disregard for what's right. And who knows what kind of backend arrangement they have regarding this. Hell, if they like it, I love it. It's very easy to get caught up in what you have, versus what you don't have (which is peace of mind). I guess that's why my black a$$ continues to balance my checkbook, because I just can't do it!

Comment: Say what u want, Lisa ain't hardly lettin her gravy train go. All aboard!

Name: blakman
Comment: With a non existant acting career, a ghettoist speakig tone, and big sexy body, LisaRaye doesn't have many options outside of that mansion. Oops, I almost forget, Larry Flynt is still in the hiring business. She's too old and Black for Hugh Hefner. You see, chasing sack and golddiggin' can cause problems down the road.

Name: My2Pennies
Comment: She probably moved back in to pack her chit up.

Name: Taurusingr
Comment: Southernbelle: Yeah!1 that's right! but we men....better NOT call her a "hoe"!, huh!??? I'm wit chew!!,ok?? It's just interesting how so many go out of their way to justify the actions of females, but only wanna stick to the "facts" when a brotha's shyt is.... "a little crooked" ya know!?? I just wish this sort of "rationalization" was given so damn equally to the brothas! But that would mean...excepting,admitting there's a 'reason" to do something wrong/bad to a sista! & I KNOW yall ain't ganna EVA admit THAT!!! LOL!!! Holla!

Name: Taurusingr
Comment: On the other hand?...Maybe she MEANT her vows.."for better or worse"???...Naaaaaaaaaah! LOL!!!

Name: Taurusingr
Comment: Boot:...You a fool man!!!...And I dig that about yo as-s!! LMBAO!

Name: Southernbelle
Comment: *pinching Taurus on the cheeks* Don't hate the Player, hate the game LOL

Name: Taurusingr
Comment: Southernbelle:..Ahhhh suuuuugar! LOL!! I don't hate the 'game' I just hate some of the......."referees"!!! LMBAO!!!

Name: Taurusingr
Comment: But seriously yall?...I don't think ole Lisa has forgiven a damn thang!! I smell a "plan"! And like ole boy Anthony Anderson said in "Two Can Play That Game"?...the C.I.A. ain't got shyt!, on a woman with a plan!!! Holla!!!

Name: SweetieDarlin
Comment: Whatever, LisaRaye isn't doing more than a lot of women do and for more money.Whatever works for her, and it's amazing how much people constantly crack about the so-called ghetto speaking voice but she still was able to do things, so called ghetto voiced or not, much like another paid entertainer that allegedly has the same affliction. Her voice doesn't bother me, never did, not that superficial, plus she sounds like a lot of girls in Chicago especially the ones who had to act hard because they were pretty and other people wouldn't leave them alone unless they sounded like that, there's a girl in the office who sounds a lot like LisaRaye, you know what---as long as she does her job well and she fine with me. As for me I always got the 'you sound white', can't please black folks no matter how you sound LOL!

Name: dockingplace
Comment: That's pretty sick. Someone got raped, he's still suspect, and she's going to move back in? Just sick!

Name: MzTee
Comment: mandinka_99...ya damn skippy! Too much damn information now about celebrities, pseudo celebrities, reality stars, etc. Most of these people are probably calling the damn press and paps themselves to keep their names out there so they can remain relevant.

Name: JustTellingTheTruth
Comment: SweetieDarling -- you were on point with your post. Sometimes a woman may have to have the "ghetto voice" to keep folks off of her. I'm from Chicago too & know exactly what you're talking about personally & otherwise. If someone comes at me wrong, I may have to dig deep & pull up a "hard ghetto tone" to make them back up. It's all about survival. Am I ghetto by nature? Nope, I'm far from it but you do what you have to do. I also have to deal with that "you sound white crap" too especially when dealing with folks over the phone. Then, when they see me -- surprise, surprise, I'm not a Becky. The reactions are always priceless.

Name: JustTellingTheTruth
Comment: Well, a few months ago Robin Robinson, a news reporter with FoxNews Chicago, did a one on one interview with LisaRaye. She wasn't the least bit ghetto in anyway. Most people don't know her Dad, who's deceased, was a millionaire. She didn't grow up ghetto or poor. Really don't think her Mother would've brought her up "ghetto" regardless of the folks her millionaire Daddy may have associated with. Some folks can know the streets and not be street. Regardless, you can bet LisaRaye had her "reasons" for going back to the mansion, but I bet "reconciliation" wasn't on the list.

Name: SweetieDarlin
Comment: JustTellingTheTruth> Yeah a lot of people didn't know her father Ray, we used to see him on the scene when I was in my early 20s, he owned a bunch of motels up and down Stony Island, Sweet Georgia Brown and many others place---LisaRaye said he owned banks as well but I didn't know about that. She lived in South Shore growing up and since she's a few years younger I didn't know her but grew up in the same neighborhood and knew some of the same people through my friends younger siblings, she most definately did not grow up ghetto. By all accounts from the people who know/knew her she's pretty cool and down to earth. Reconciliation naw-but she ain't gonna let another chick take her place and get everything she got without a fight---typical Chicago girl LOL!
