LisaRaye McCoy is airing out her former friend turned foe, Nicole Murphy, for being part of the downfall of her marriage to Turks and Caicos politician Michael Misick. In a candid interview with Carlos King released on Nov. 19, the 57-year-old actress revealed that she had “proof” of Murphy, the ex-wife of comedian Eddie Murphy, having an affair with her then-husband and according to the actress, the former Premier confessed to the affair himself.
When asked about how she discovered Murphy’s creeping, LisaRaye claimed that she “had checked the Manifest” of her private plane shared with Misick at the time to find the 56-year-old producer and fashion brand owner’s name listed as a previous passenger.
LisaRaye allegedly received “proof” of Murphy and Misick’s cheating.
When Murphy failed to fess up, LisaRaye said she went to Murphy’s then-boyfriend, Michael Strahan for answers. The former NFL star-turned-morning news anchor said he was unaware of Murphy and Misick’s sneaky flight to the island, which at the time, LisaRaye claimed to have proof of the duo boarding the plane to Turks and Caicos thanks to a tape she had received. She allegedly sent the evidence to Strahan.
According to LisaRaye, the tape allegedly showed Murphy dropping Misick off at the private airport in her car, further fueling her claims of their secretive relationship.
LisaRaye said she was so pissed off by Murphy’s actions that she came close to “whopping” the celeb, but she has since matured significantly over the years. The betrayal was especially painful for the actress, as Murphy had attended her wedding and bridesmaid party, further deepening the sense of betrayal.
Murphy has long denied the accusations of infidelity with Misick, but according to LisaRaye, her ex-husband eventually admitted to the affair. He confessed that he and Murphy had slept together “about two or three” times during their secret meetings.
While the incident didn’t immediately end LisaRaye’s marriage to the former Turks and Caicos Prime Minister, it served as the catalyst for their eventual split, which culminated in their divorce in 2008. Murphy’s relationship with Michael Strahan also didn’t last long. After getting engaged in 2009, the couple remained together for another five years before ending their relationship in 2014, according to The Jasmine Brand.
This Isn’t The First Time That LisaRaye Has Called Out Nicole Murphy
In 2019, the Hollywood star doubled down on the accusation during an interview with TMZ, when asked by the outlet.
LisaRaye also took aim at Murphy for kissing renowned director Antoine Fuqua, who is married to actress Lela Rochon. The photo of them sharing a kiss while on a business trip to Italy quickly went viral, sparking widespread speculation. Murphy later apologized, insisting that the kiss was innocent and blown out of proportion, explaining that she was simply a family friend of both Fuqua and Rochon.
