The saga of LisaRaye and her estranged husband, Turks & Caicos Premier Michael Misick, is, of course, not anywhere near over. Rumors have been swirling that LisaRaye was engaging in a few extramarital activities herself, allegedly with Gary Payton. Now, Essence has posted photos of the injuries LisaRaye sustained during her last, fateful trip the presidential mansion. It's like an ugly trainwreck. I want to, but I can't look away.

Remember all that drama concerning LisaRaye, her husband — that would be Michael Misick, Premier of Turks & Caicos — and BET's Rosci? Forget you ever heard about it. Despite the fact that LisaRaye had her publicist put out a press release announcing an illicit affair between the island politician and the young VJ and promised several journalists a sit-down interview about her fractured marriage, LisaRaye has decided to leave it all behind her and head back home to T&C. It should be noted that n addition to this recent affair, Misick was accused in March of raping one of LisaRaye's American friends, an allegation he has denied.

"It's not that she would miss him, she would miss her position," a source told Page Six. "She's grown accustomed to the lifestyle - the gifts, the cars, the status." It sounds like a beautiful marriage, and I wish them the very best of luck.

Michael Misick, the trouble-plagued prime minister of Turks & Caicos, might want to practice a little more discretion in his extracurricular activities, because his wife is famous, relatively speaking, she has a publicist, and she's very angry. Lisa Raye's rep just put about a press release announcing that Misick is having an affair with BET's Rocsi.

According to publicity firm Lynn Allen Jeter & Associates, the two were seen "canoodling" during the T&C Music Festival over the weekend while LisaRaye was in New York. "Sources have even reported that Rocsi stayed at the Misick home and hosted guests as if she was the lady of the house," the release stated.

When the news came out a few months ago that Misick had been accused of rape by one of Raye's American friends, it was was rumored that Rocsi was the secret accuser. Obviously, the rumor-starter got his or her message mixed up. [EUR]

CRIME, POLITICS, AND TOURISM Michael Misick, the prime minister of Turks & Caicos, is being asked to step down amid allegations that he sexually assaulted an American tourist.
