Lisa Raye SNAPS At Nicole Murphy On LIVE For Stealing Her Husband | HO

In the world of Hollywood, betrayals often play out behind closed doors, whispered about in private circles and hinted at in cryptic interviews. But when actress and former First Lady of Turks and Caicos LisaRaye McCoy decided to confront Nicole Murphy—model, businesswoman, and ex-wife of Eddie Murphy—about allegedly sleeping with her then-husband Michael Misick, she did it the only way she knows how: publicly, unapologetically, and with receipts.

The drama, which has simmered for over a decade, exploded once again on social media and talk shows, reigniting a firestorm of commentary about loyalty, friendship, and the secret lives of Hollywood’s elite. As LisaRaye continues to “stand on business,” refusing to let the scandal fade into obscurity, the question remains: Is she justified in dragging Nicole Murphy’s name through the mud, or is it time to let sleeping dogs lie?

Friends, Parties, and Betrayal

LisaRaye and Nicole Murphy were more than just industry acquaintances. By LisaRaye’s own account, the two women attended each other’s birthday parties, shared intimate conversations, and even celebrated bachelorette festivities together. “I’ve been to her house. She was at my bachelorette party,” LisaRaye recalled. Their friendship was close enough that even LisaRaye’s mother took notice, warning her daughter to be cautious around Nicole. “You know, but you got to watch that one there,” her mother said, a warning LisaRaye would later remember all too well.

At the time, Nicole Murphy was still married to Eddie Murphy, and LisaRaye was married to Michael Misick, then Premier of Turks and Caicos. Both women moved in the same social circles, their lives intertwined by fame, fortune, and family. But beneath the surface, cracks were forming—cracks that would soon shatter their friendship and reputations.

The Affair Heard ‘Round Hollywood

Rumors of Nicole Murphy’s involvement with Michael Misick began to circulate not long after LisaRaye and Michael’s marriage started to unravel. According to LisaRaye, Nicole was a frequent guest at their events and even traveled with Michael on his private jet. “She had flown to Turks and Caicos on Michael’s private jet,” LisaRaye claimed, adding that Nicole’s presence in her home and at her parties made the betrayal sting even more.

But Nicole Murphy didn’t just deny the affair—she allegedly went on national television, sitting on Wendy Williams’ couch and calling LisaRaye a liar. That public denial was the last straw for LisaRaye, who decided to confront Nicole directly. “If you’re going to tell me a story, tell me the truth. If you’re not going to tell me the truth, walk away,” LisaRaye said, recounting their face-to-face conversation.

According to LisaRaye, Nicole stuck to her denial, claiming there was no reason she would ever have a relationship with Michael Misick. But LisaRaye wasn’t buying it. She produced travel records and other receipts proving Nicole’s close proximity to her husband during the alleged affair. When confronted with the evidence, Nicole allegedly stopped answering LisaRaye’s calls, effectively ending their friendship.

Hollywood’s Open Secret

The LisaRaye-Nicole Murphy feud is more than just a personal vendetta; it’s a window into the culture of betrayal that often festers among Hollywood’s inner circles. In an industry where relationships are currency and loyalty is rare, stories like this are all too common. But what sets this scandal apart is LisaRaye’s refusal to let it go.

“I only have beef with two people in this world and the whole world knows who that is. That’s Dwayne Martin and Nicole Murphy. They’re my only two ass,” LisaRaye declared. Her willingness to name names and air grievances publicly has made her a polarizing figure—but also a champion for women who feel betrayed by those they once called friends.

Nicole Murphy, for her part, has struggled to escape the “homewrecker” label. After her divorce from Eddie Murphy, she was linked to a string of high-profile men, including Michael Strahan, Jimmy Jackson, Nick Cannon, and most infamously, director Antoine Fuqua. The latter scandal, which involved paparazzi photos of Nicole and Fuqua kissing in Italy while he was still married to actress Lela Rochon, brought Nicole’s reputation to a new low.

Money, Motives, and Mess

Some observers have speculated that Nicole’s pattern of targeting married men is driven by financial motives. After her divorce from Eddie Murphy, Nicole reportedly received a $15 million settlement, only to lose much of it to bad investments and scams. As her finances dwindled, her relationships became more strategic, often involving wealthy or powerful men.

“She only had one child left under 18, whose child support checks were about to come to an end,” one source noted. The implication: Nicole’s liaisons were as much about securing her financial future as they were about romance.

But LisaRaye isn’t interested in motives—she’s focused on principles. “There’s no loyalty,” she said, lamenting the fact that someone she considered a friend would cross such a line. “You got to look up and your person that you’re inviting to your house and you’re celebrating your birthdays and going to games with, you got to look up and [see her] in Italy with your husband.”

Public Apologies and Private Pain

After the Antoine Fuqua scandal, Nicole Murphy issued a public apology, claiming her relationship with Fuqua was nothing more than a “friendly hello.” Few believed her. “How many people do y’all know that greet their friends with full-on French kiss?” LisaRaye quipped. Rumors swirled that Nicole had even called the paparazzi herself to capture the incriminating photos—a move that would be both brazen and calculated.

LisaRaye, however, remained unmoved by Nicole’s attempts at damage control. “Was Nicole really sorry about it or was she just sorry she got caught?” she asked. For LisaRaye, the answer was clear: Nicole’s remorse was as performative as her denials.

The Sisterhood Speaks

LisaRaye’s outspokenness has found support among other women in her circle. Her sister, rapper Da Brat, publicly called out Nicole Murphy for allegedly pursuing Lela Rochon’s husband as well. “Girl, Nikki Murphy, you went after Lela Vashan’s husband, too. Shaking my head, so wrong again,” Da Brat posted on social media.

The chorus of condemnation has only grown louder, with fans and commentators praising LisaRaye for refusing to let Nicole off the hook. “Revenge is a dish served cold and Nicole Murphy is being force-fed right now,” one commenter wrote. “As long as LisaRaye is alive, Nicole Murphy will never know peace for effing her man while being her friend and she ain’t wrong.”

A Culture of Accountability

LisaRaye’s refusal to forgive and forget has sparked a larger conversation about accountability among women, especially in industries where competition and betrayal are often normalized. “When you’re a woman and you’re grown, let’s handle it like a woman. Let’s talk face to face and let’s get it out,” LisaRaye said, emphasizing the importance of honesty and directness.

She admits she’s made mistakes herself, once being involved with NBA star Gary Payton while he was still married. But LisaRaye claims she learned from her missteps, while Nicole, in her view, has continued the same behavior without remorse.

The Final Word

As the dust settles, one thing is clear: LisaRaye McCoy isn’t backing down. Her feud with Nicole Murphy has become more than just a personal grudge—it’s a stand against betrayal, a call for loyalty among women, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of trusting the wrong people.

Whether or not Nicole Murphy will ever publicly admit to her alleged affair with Michael Misick remains to be seen. But as long as LisaRaye has a platform, she’s determined to make sure the world never forgets what she sees as the ultimate betrayal.
