Martin & Tisha make amends.

Blog King, Mass Appeal

LOS ANGELES — If you recall, Tisha Campbell sued Martin Lawrence in 1997 for being overly amorous. Twenty-five years later, they’ve let bygones be bygones. During an appearance on Thursday’s episode of the PEOPLE Every Day podcast, Tisha revealed the cast of Martin is “all healed” after the sitcom came to screeching halt amid her sexual harassment allegations. The 53-year-old actress spoke about the opportunity to join her costars again for “Martin: The Reunion” which premiered Thursday night on BET+. Tisha was a little nervous. But it had nothin’ to do with the reunion. She was more concerned with fan reaction. “I hope people embrace it as much as they say they do,” Tisha said. “I wasn’t nervous about getting together with the cast, ’cause we are still friends.” When asked to expound upon the lawsuit, she replied: “Everything else is a personal situation that we’ve all healed from. So we’re not even gonna talk about it.” Martin, 57, was more loquacious, saying, “It is nothing but love with me and her. It’s nothing but love.” Nothin’ but love? Tisha ruined your show then drove you towards a mental breakdown.

She had Martin standing in the middle of traffic, cussin’ out drivers.

Carl Anthony Payne, who played Cole Brown, downplayed the sitcom’s cessation — calling it a family affair. “I mean, you know, every family has its drama,” Carl, 53, explained. “Every family has its trials and tribulations and things like that. And every good thing must come to an end. I think it could have gone on longer, but it is what it is until it ain’t.” The Fox sitcom ran for four seasons when all hell broke loose. Martin and Tisha did, however, return for a fifth and final installment under the stipulation they couldn’t shoot scenes together. Martin swore he didn’t touch Tisha. But he settled anyway because she was a royal pain in the ass.

Fans think Tisha is using Martin to get back in the limelight. After all, she ain’t done sh*t since “My Wife and Kids.” Meanwhile… Tisha’s BFF — Tichina Arnold (Pam) — is starring alongside Cedric the Entertainer in the hit CBS sitcom “The Neighborhood.”

Thomas Mikal Ford, who played unemployed Tommy, died 6 years ago.

  1. Seems like the universe is showing us that Tisha Campbell’s allegations against Martin were bs and she’s suffering from it now

  2. Martin’s a better man than me ’cause I would never again, in this life or the next, work with someone who falsely accused me of anything.

  3. I read that they was filming boomerang with Eddie Murphy and Martin show was in development and he actually picked Tisha Campbell to play Gina Waters.

  4. Martin know what he doing he killing her with kindness. In the back of her mind she’s thinking about how she fucked up.

  5. Don’t reconnect with her ass f*ck that. She tried to ruin that man’s life.

  6. Is no one going to say it?Tisha Campbell lied on Martin and got his show canceled.She lied on her then husband Dwayne Martin and she lied about being almost human trafficked. When are we going to call her what she is?A LIAR.

  7. Did Bruh Man from the 5th floor find a job after the show? Oh, I shouldn’t have done that! Huh? 🤣

  8. She sues him for sexual harassment and all sorts of wild allegations… and now that she broke and destitute ..he reaches back and helps her……

  9. His career exploded while her career flopped. She got a big ass house and filed bankruptcy. Sad..🤦🏽‍♀️

  10. The only things I’ve seen her own since Martin was Everybody hates Chris, My wife and Kids… Show was called Martin not Gina 🤷🏾‍♂️

  11. Other than my wife and kids…n a small lil role in zach and miri tisha aint did much

  12. Martin lasted 5 seasons and could’ve gone for another 5. We still laughing at old shows.

  13. The situation on Martin was straight up black on black crime on full display. Something that could have been settled quietly behind the scenes but no she made a public power play and it backfired and solidified her reputation as being difficult to work with. Now those allegations are serious and I don’t know any woman who is now cool with a guy who sexually harassed them which now makes the original claim suspect and as a result execs were like thanks but no thanks. Look at Tichina Arnold, she stays busy, working and got them royalty checks on lockdown.

  14. man avoid her, after she claims sexual harassment on him??? nah fuck that.

  15. Anybody notice the similarities between Duane Martin and Martin Lawrence, if you ask me Tisha was feeling Martin and he wasn’t having it, then her husband found out and then she switched up the story to make it look like Lawrence was being sexually abusive to cover her tracks.

  16. One thing I have learn in this life a woman can make something great but can absolutely fuck everything up in the worse way…. I say the juice ain worth the squeeze

  17. What kills me is that EVERYBODY wanted a reunion or a reboot of the show for years because we all loved Martin and gina!! But as SOON as they give us die hard fans what we want ppl wanna bring up the scandal part of the show!! I see why Martin stays low key off of SM!!! If these ppl forgave each other….WHY ARE PPL CONCERNED? Black folks love to see despair and BS!! Leave that shit in the damn past!! DAYUM!!!!!😡😡🤦‍♀️

  18. In my opinion, Tisha Campbell have set a bad example for sexually assault victims. If a man or woman that claims someone violated them in an inappropriate manner. You should reframe from ever being associated with that person. This is why no one ever believe victims. Unless they have hard core receipts to back up their claim.

    Tisha apparently do not see nothing wrong with this situation. You claim Martin sexually violated you . His career took a hit, He had to be run through the mud through the media, he had a mental breakdown in which I believe was the result of the sexual assault claim. Now you and Martin is bosom buddy. One thing about me if someone wrong me or I accuse someone of wronging me I am not fucking with them.

  19. Now she wants to be friends with him after accusing him of acting “unprofessional” on the set which caused the show to be prematurely ended? Can’t make this shit up. These women are devious.

  20. Martin just lucky she didn’t pull that sh*t during social media and cancel culture, and the me too movement

  21. I guess the residual checks from “My Wife and Kids” have come to an end or aren’t enough to maintain her lifestyle. So now it’s time to rebuild the bridge she burnt and re-connect with Martin and maybe earn herself another lawsuit payday.

  22. She can’t go around accusing people you work with and think anybody wants to work with you. Tells me how dumb a woman can be, because they so emotional and don’t think out consequences of their actions

  23. Martin had a bunch of issues back then including being accused of abuse by his first wife. The whole cast in their own way spoke to that situation and basically said Martin started bugging especially once he gained more power behind the scenes of the show. You don’t know that he didn’t harass Tisha. Meanwhile Tisha did five or six seasons of My Wife and kids on a major network after Martin and has had steady roles over the years since.

  24. Blog King don’t do that. She may not have blown up the way Martin did (he was a comedian, he was the star of “Martin” and his career was on a different trajectory) but don’t act like she didn’t work after Martin. She was on “My Wife And Kids” w/ Damon Wayans that lasted 5 seasons and a slew of other television series’, she hosted BET Awards several times w/ Her partner in crime Tichina Arnold. She’s worked damn near her whole life. From Broadway to TV to film. Put some respek on her name.

  25. She and Martin were dating then she dumped him for Dawayne Martin. Martin started doing things to make her uncomfortable. She was on my wife and kids later. She quit for a while to raise her children with Dawayne. They divorced over money because they made some bad investments.

  26. She now realizes that Martin was the man who she should have married. They would have been a power couple and made the world laugh.

  27. The chick is broke!!! Oh Marty Mart needs to stay far away from that broad before she sets him up again

  28. If the allegations are true I respect her for not cheating on her husband. Most women would’ve folded under pressure at the thought of being blackballed from the industry. However if he’s innocent she’s a rotten bytch. But we’ll probably never know the full truth. His story, her story & the truth.

  29. She ruined one of the best comedy shows on the planet. It’s kinda hard to forget about what she alleged and the fall out from her allegations. She’s forever a SKANK!

  30. He’s better then me. I would be like “keep it pushing”. You threw dirt on my name and now you want to be cool with me… foh.

  31. Season 5 is hard to watch. You can see how the allegations was draining him. You can tell in season 4 that there was sexual chemistry there, and Tisha broke his heart. I watch Martin everyday.

  32. This the same lady that jus faked almost getting kidnapped and abducted in Texas not too long ago right? Ok.

  33. Martin is a ‘BETTER’ man than me, I wouldn’t do a damn thing with Tisha Campbell!!!! GTFOH!!!

  34. Tisha’s karma was when that ex husband of hers left her with a couple of dollars in her account.

  35. Watching the Martin reunion was sad losing Thomas Ford and awkward watching how Tisha acting like that allegation never occurred which prematurely ended the show. Duane Martin definitely wasn’t having Marty Mar kissing and touching Gina any longer! We all know that’s what really happened. It was all good with Tisha until she married Duane. A when ish went south after the tense divorce, all of a sudden it’s all good again let’s reboot because work is slow. 🤷🏾‍♂️🤔
