Martin Lawrence & Tisha Campbell Have "Nothing But Love" For Each Other Despite Lawsuit

Martin and Tisha are "all good."

In a recent interview with GQ, star of Bad Boys For Life, Martin Lawrence, addressed the rumours about him and his Martin co-star, Tisha Campbell. Martin was wildly popular and aired for five seasons, so when it cane to an abrupt end, fans were confused. At the time, it was rumoured that Tisha, who played Gina, had filed a lawsuit against Martin for sexual harassment in 1997. Martin responded, indicating that, "none of that was true. It was all a lot of bullsh*t... We don't need to talk about something that just didn't happen. So I just decided to walk away from the show. I just decided to end it. People said that I got canceled, but that wasn't the case. I decided to just leave the show." However, he added, "I love Tisha. I’ve seen her then and now, now and then, always with nothing but love. I have nothing but love for her, and I always have."

It looks like the comedian was adamant that the last part of his comments about the whole ordeal was crystal clear to everyone, as he took to Instagram to further express his love for Tisha. Posting a photo of the two of them from back in their Martin days, he wrote, "Regardless of the past or any misrepresentation of it In the press, I have nothin but love for Tisha then and now. We are good and always will be! #teammartymar #yougogirl." The post received plenty of love, including a response from Tisha herself. "YOU GO BOY My fam fo life! ❤️❤️❤️," she commented, indicating that the feelings are mutual between them. Martin is currently starring in the third instalment of the Bad Boys franchise with Will Smith called Bad Boys For Life.

Tisha revealed on The Talk that she was "actually kind of shocked" by Martin's comments in the GQ interview. "I can’t go into much detail about the past because there was a confidentiality agreement, so the gag order says no," she revealed. "I hit him up. He called me within a minute … He was like, '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.'" Tisha repeats that she isn't "going to go into details" and wants to "respect his privacy" as well as hers. " I will say, by the end of it, it was nothing but laughter and healing," she revealed. "And I got a chance to experience that. And I’m so glad we’re in a good place right now." In the lawsuit, she accused Martin of "repeated and escalating sexual harassment, sexual battery and violent threats." Martin denied the allegations, and they ultimately settled out of court.

LSU, Clemson Players Struggle To ID Nas, Seinfeld & Other ’90s Icons: Watch

LSU & Clemson players fail miserably during a game of "Name The 90s."

The 2019-20 college football season comes to a close tonight in New Orleans, as the Tigers from LSU and Clemson do battle at Mercedes-Benz Superdome. All of the hype surrounding the battle of the unbeatens, not to mention all of the money that will be gambled on tonight's title game, makes it easy to forget that these kids are just that - kids.

For example, the AOL icons, which are forever engrained in the brains of those who lived through the '90s and early 2000s, are completely foreign to many of the LSU and Clemson players. To further highlight their youthfulness ahead of tonight's title game, ESPN recently played a game of "Name the 90s" with players from each team, where they struggled to identify music icons such as Nas, TLC and Britney Spears, as well as classic TV shows like Seinfeld and Martin.

Check out the footage in the tweet embedded below.

As I alluded to earlier, there will be millions of dollars gambled of the outcome of tonight's National Championship, so it's worth noting that LSU is currently favored by 5.5 points (up from the 3.5 they opened as), and the over/under point total for the game is 69 points. You can catch the action tonight at 8pm ET, airing on ESPN.

Martin Lawrence Speaks On Tisha Campbell’s Previous Harassment Lawsuit Against Him


It was what caused the comedian to walk away from his hit show.

Before he was one of the Bad Boys for Life, Martin Lawrence was a stand-up comedian with a dream. He gained notoriety on the touring circuit and then changed television history with his 1990s classic sitcom, Martin. Aside from the comedian, the show starred Tisha Campbell as Gina, Tichina Arnold as Pam, Carl Anthony Payne II as Cole, and the late Thomas Mikal Ford as Tommy.

For five years, Martin gave Fox one of its most popular shows on the network, but its final episodes left fans wondering what was going on behind the scenes. There was news that Tisha was suing Martin over allegations that he’s sexually abused and harassed her. The comedian rarely talks about that time in his life—a rough patch that included a mental breakdown and later a three-day coma—but in a recent interview with GQ, Martin addressed the rumors.

Martin was asked about being spotted with Tisha recently. “Yeah. Because none of that was true. It was all a lot of bulls–t and—,” Martin said before being interrupted. “What was bulls–t?” the reporter asked. “Just whoever’s side it was, it was bulls–t,” the actor answered. He added that he and Tisha haven’t had a heart-to-heart about the allegations she made against him in the past.

“We don’t need to talk about something that just didn’t happen,” Martin said. “So I just decided to walk away from the show. I just decided to end it. People said that I got canceled, but that wasn’t the case. I decided to just leave the show.” He added, “I love Tisha. I’ve seen her then and now, now and then, always with nothing but love. I have nothing but love for her, and I always have.”
