Lisa Raye Goes Nude
I am not really sure what statement Lisa Raye is trying to make with this picture of her in the afro wig and honey. Maybe now that she is officially split from her husband Michael Missick, she is saying she wants to get back to her roots…. but if you think this is wild, check the interview she did with Essence. com where she is giving it to us raw in more ways than one:
ESSENCE.COM: Bloggers have often said that you’re too “ghetto” to be a First Lady. How does that make you feel?
LISARAYE: I am not and never grew up in the ghetto. People need to get it right. I grew up on the Southside of Chicago. What people don’t realize is that my father was a multimillionaire who owned 12 hotels, motels, a steel mill, a radio station, a club, nursing home, and a law office. So I think it’s safe to say I’m a little above middle class and I’m a daddy’s girl. I make no apologies for loving the finer things in life or the men I choose to date. I don’t feel bad about the person I am. Now, I do have an edge, rawness and realness, and I can tell you I’m going to keep that. I’m one of those women who’s not to be messed with. I’m very opinionated and boisterous at times. I’m also kind and humble. I know when to fold and when to hold and that’s important. If my edge scares you, then you have a choice to remove yourself. Other than that, I’m very approachable, and when people meet me they always say, “You are so down to earth and nothing like I thought you were.”
ESSENCE.COM: Nice to hear from you. You’ve laid low since all the hoopla surrounding your marriage to Turks and Caicos Premier Michael Misick. How have you been holding up?
LISARAYE McCOY-MISICK: Why is it that people don’t embrace one another when we’re going through a tough time? Some of the things I read about me were so wrong and hurtful, but I am fine. It’s okay to move forward because things happen. Does it hurt? Yes. Am I disappointed? Incredibly. But this too shall pass.
ESSENCE.COM: Is it difficult to go through rough times publicly, especially with a spouse.
LISARAYE: Yes. There is a law in Turks and Caicos that you must remain married for three years before you begin any kind of divorce proceedings. If you want to get a divorce before that you have to be able to prove certain things that will grant you the right to do so.
ESSENCE.COM: What evidence did you provide that helped you in your case?
LISARAYE: I can’t be specific right now. I will say that there are things that happen within a marriage which can disrespect the union and actions can be taken against those things. As an actress, I have put myself out there as an independent Black woman, a single mom, a go-getter, a hustler who isn’t afraid to survive. If you get with a man who goes against who you are or what you believe in, people who know you begin to say, “Hey, that’s not the LisaRaye I know.” As his wife, my name has been associated with things that I have nothing to do with, and I have to fight to clear my name.
ESSENCE.COM: When you say you have to “fight for your name” are you referring to the British investigation into the government of Turks and Caicos and its leader, your estranged husband?
LISARAYE: Yes. I have been summoned to the hearing for questioning from the commission regarding the corruption inquiry into my husband’s government.
ESSENCE.COM: Do you believe your husband is innocent or guilty of those allegations?
LISARAYE: That’s not for me to decide.
ESSENCE.COM: Do you think that you and your husband could have avoided such a public war?
LISARAYE: Honestly, I hoped our divorce could be amicable. I’m saying to him, “Let’s get it over with so we can move on with our lives. It’s not fair to keep me involved in all this mess that I know nothing about… I’m human and enough is enough.” I’m going through some things, but I’ve been quiet and haven’t spoken to my country. I was trying to bow out gracefully, but after a while the Southside [of Chicago] had to come forward and finally say, “Hold on! Wait a minute!”
ESSENCE.COM: Many balked at your whirlwind romance and marriage and accused you of being an opportunist. How do you feel about that assessment of your character?
LISARAYE: First of all, I’m a fan of love and partnership. I would say this to my critics: If a man comes to you there obviously has to be a connection. I had a man who’s smart and powerful and who I fell in love with. He’s embracing my family. Add the fact that I have an opportunity to bring tourism to his country and be involved in something historical. Who in the hell would say no? But what scared me was the idea of being First Lady?
ESSENCE.COM: Bloggers have often said that you’re too “ghetto” to be a First Lady. How does that make you feel?
LISARAYE: I am not and never grew up in the ghetto. People need to get it right. I grew up on the Southside of Chicago. What people don’t realize is that my father was a multimillionaire who owned 12 hotels, motels, a steel mill, a radio station, a club, nursing home, and a law office.

Ms. Raye you are and will always be one of the worlds most beautiful women. You have a right to your life, your thoughts, opinions, choice of how you live your life and how you love.
The pictures are well done, tasteful depicting a lovely black woman of style, class and someone who is true to herself. If you have to answer to anyone it’s to your own conscience and God. Those are the two who’s opinions count.
I will always esteem, admire and revere you as a beautiful black woman.
The Ohio Players had a hit album titled “Honey” in the 70′s. The album cover is an iconic image from that period. This is obviously a tribute to that image.
she looks really good. I am inspired to hit the gym….

I am more than a Lisa Raye fan. I go ga-ga over NO WOMEN (OR MEN!) But Lisa Raye Mc Coy Could tell Me to do ANYTHING and I wouldn’t bat an eye. I’d just do it. Lisa if You can read this, I’m not a King, prince, duke, Earl, or ANY royalty, But You are indeed a Queen. And have ALWAYS been one in My eyes. Marry Me and I’ll Show You what REAL LOVE is ALL ABOUT. And how a Queen should be treated!
Lisa-Raye has always appeared to be a head strong down-to-earth woman who knows what she wants. She is also human and can pick up the same garbage that we all are subjected to. Keep your head up girl. Yes .this too shall pass. The haters are out and they’ll always be out there. You stay the strong black woman that you are. Much love to you.

There is a ’70s band called Ohio Players. One of their album covers featured a black woman pouring honey on herself just like this one.
Everything is very open with a clear clarification of
the issues. It was truly informative. Your site is extremely helpful.
Many thanks for sharing!
