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.
