Why doesnt Martin Lawrence get much flack for what he did to black women?
I think of R Kelly, Dr. Dre and other black men who have been accused of assaulting black women in the past and the backlash against them. Why doesn't Martin ever get called out?
I looked at the Lark Voorhies Saved By The Bell reboot thread and I saw people saying they are glad she got better but wondered what happened to her...
Lets not forget Dustin Diamond tell all...
In 1993, she appeared on season one of Martin. She also began dating the star of the show, comedian Martin Lawrence. According to People magazine, they got engaged in 1993, but it wouldn’t last.
So what went wrong? Dustin Diamond spilled all the tea in his memoir.
Dustin wrote that Lark and Martin’s relationship ended when Martin went on the Arsenio Hall Show and announced he planned to marry someone else. When Dustin met up with Lark sometime after the end of their relationship to record audio for the Saved by the Bell DVD, he noticed something wasn’t right. Even though Lark was never outgoing to begin with, he said she had retreated even further inside her shell.
Dustin noted that Lark would flinch whenever a man was near her or whenever a man’s voice was projected toward her. And she would rock back and forth, mumbling to herself as if she were in her own little world. Many assumed this meant Lark experienced something unthinkable during her relationship with Martin.
In addition to that for over 2 decades people blamed Tisha Campbell for being the reason that the show Martin ended and claimed that she made up the lie about him sexually abusing her on set to get out of her contract at Fox where she was making $3 million per season on the show at that point. He later said it was bs and nothing happened.
Tisha Campbell is now sharing her reaction to her former co-star Martin Lawrence’s recent comments about her 1997 sexual harassment lawsuit.
Campbell, who played Lawrence’s onscreen wife Gina on Martin that ran from 1992 to 1997, charged Lawrence with “repeated and escalating sexual harassment, sexual battery, verbal abuse and related threats,” according to People magazine. The suit was settled out of court.
In a recent interview, however, Lawrence told GQ, “It was all a lot of bullshit and, just whoever’s side it was, it was bullshit,” he said, adding that the two never spoke about the lawsuit. “We don’t need to talk about something that just didn’t happen.” On The Talk Thursday, Campbell said she was surprised by her former co-star’s comments. “I can’t go into much detail about the past because there was a confidentiality agreement, so the gag order says no,” she began. “But what I can say is…I was actually kind of shocked.
Campbell said after contemplating how she should react, she contacted Lawrence herself. “He was like, ‘Yeah, T, don’t read into what it is, there’s a lot of people that’s trying to bring up the past, and trying to make it news today. But, you know T, we’re good. I love you and I love your family.'”
Lawrence doubled-down on their recent private conversation with a public declaration Thursday on Instagram. He wrote in a caption, “Regardless of the past or any misrepresentation of it in the press, I have nothin [sic] but love for Tisha then and now. We are good and always will be!” He ended it using the hashtags, #teammartymar and #yougogirl.
Campbell replied to the post, writing in a comment: “YOU GO BOY My fam fo life!”
On The Talk, the actress added that the two have gone to lunch in recent years and spoke “about everything.”
“At the end of it, it was nothing but laughter and healing,” she continued.
Lawrence is now starring in the highly-anticipated Bad Boys sequel, Bad Boys for Life, out now.
Now if Tisha could actually continue to make up a "lie about sexual harrassment" would Marty Mart still be cool with her?
And lets not forget about his ex wife Particia
