Source: WENN.com / WENN La La Anthony ‘s feelings aren’t hurt if you say that you think she can’t act. She believes the opportunities she’s been given prove that she can hold her own on-screen. The Power actress did an interview this week after [SPOILER] her character Lakeisha met her end on the Starz series. Some people loved her on the show, and there were others who weren’t so crazy about her portrayal. When asked if the latter group upsets her, she said, “Not really.” Want Exclusives First?

If you can do it better then why you not getting the jobs I’m getting? That’s how I look at it,” she said. “My thing is, I do it, I put my all into it. I didn’t start that way so it’s been a different journey for me, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do it. And I think people just naturally want to hate because you started differently. ‘You’re not a real actor, you started on the radio.’ Alright, maybe I didn’t come into it like you, but I put the work in and I continue to put the work in so that doesn’t bother me. I’m doing shows with Courtney Kemp , one of the top showrunners in Hollywood, now I’m on a show with Lena Waithe , who has won major awards and doing amazing work. These people aren’t just giving me jobs because I’m me. They can hire anyone. They’re giving me jobs because I go in there and I put the work in and I do what I’m supposed to.” She also pointed out that she has 9.5 million followers on Instagram alone, so aside from just talent, she brings eyes to people’s programs. “I also bring a following with me. I almost got 10 million followers on Instagram. People watch what I do. What’s the point of having these great shows if nobody’s watching them? You want people to watch,” she said. “So, if you can do it better then you bring your 10 million followers and come do what I do.” SEE ALSO: Here’s What La La Had To Say About Joining The Chi Following Sexual Misconduct Allegations Against Jason Mitchell “I just think in this day and age with social media, people just want to hate. They just want to have a reason to hate…that’s just the nature of people,” she added. “I had to stop worrying about that a long time ago. We’re so quick to respond to the people that are hating and not respond to the millions of people that are showing you so much love. You want to respond to the one person that’s saying some foul sh-t about you, but you won’t even say thank you to the hundreds that are saying great sh-t about you. I had to change my mindset when it came to that. Now I will clap back. I have no problem telling somebody how I feel, but I appreciate all the love and all the people that do support me because that outweighs the hate by a million.” It also helps that some of the greats of Hollywood tell her they’re a fan of her work. For example, at the star-studded opening of Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta earlier this month, which La La was invited to, she received a lot of love from some legendary stars. With that in mind, who cares what a hater thinks? Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.

I love what you’re doing,’ I don’t care what nobody else ever says to me.” [ione_media_gallery src=”https://rickeysmileymorningshow.com” id=”2062004″ overlay=”true”] This story was originally published on MadameNoire.com .

LisaRaye: As my reign as First Lady [of Turks and Caicos] became busier and busier and I found my position, then he was doing a lot more traveling by himself. And I was staying home, speaking at a school or having an appearance or something. And [claps hands] really, to be quite honest, then he became friends with Duane Martin, which used to be one of my friends on “All of Us.” When I introduced them, that was one of the worst things I ever did. Lynn Jeter , LisaRaye’s mentor said, “Duane Martin, for LisaRaye was a nemesis that was unbelievable. He was someone she trusted. Someone that she felt was her friend. Someone she had bonded with and none of that was true.” LisaRaye: “Somehow within that relationship. I lost my husband to Duane Martin and they became better friends than what me and my husband did and I couldn’t understand that for the love of God.” SEE ALSO: Photos of Da Brat & Her Sister LisaRaye Through The Years LisaRaye’s friend Kym Whitley chimed in to say, “Here’s the thing. We don’t know who ain’t gon be right in our life until they ain’t right. You gotta open your heart and trust people. And LisaRaye trusted Duane. This was her brother, best friend. But he went dirty on her, he did.” LisaRaye: He became disrespectful with introducing my husband to different women and women that we actually knew as friends and associates. Jeter said, “In Turks and Caicos, she opened up her home to him and he brought other women to her husband. Not a very spiritual or positive human being.” LisaRaye : Yes, you know my dirt as my brother, my friend. But you my friend. I introduced you to him. What are you doing? I’m still kind of confused about that one. So needless to say, me and Duane don’t f*ck with each other at all. F*ck him. F*ck him.

Source: Brian To/WENN.com / WENN Dennis Rodman has been charged with battery for allegedly slapping fire out of a man back in May. Interestingly, it was the victim’s birthday. The former NBA star whose nickname is “The Worm” vehemently denies the claim, though. According to TMZ , the cops says Rodman was kicking it at the Buddha Sky Bar in Delray Beach when he “unprovokedly turned around and smacked” Jeff Soulouque, 30, on May 17. Soulouque says Rodman was apologetic, even offering up a dinner invitation. However, a trip to the hospital revealed a left corneal abrasion and Soulouque went to the cops the next day to file a report. Apparently, there’s a witness who says they saw Rodman slap Soulouque, twice. Rodman pleaded not guilty but is facing a max sentence of a year in jail if convicted. We gotta hear both sides.
