The actress who's a half sister of Da Brat has famously fallen out with fellow celebs Star Jones and Vivica A. Fox. She talks to Upscale magazine this month about how her feuds began and her 'spoiled' lifestyle...

LisaRaye on why she's attracted to powerful men and loves being spoiled:

"My whole life has been a fairytale. Every man that I have ever dated has always been powerful, had money and been generous to me. He (her ex-husband) was just the next in line. It was like this is how I am supposed to be treated. My father was my first introduction to power. I am attracted to power. So when people ask me why you always date a man with money, why in the hell wouldn't I? I have my own lifestyle, it's like, I'm not going for less that what I have. If I can't be spoiled because he is not that generous, loving and caring, I don't want you. Go to the next one. I can wait. I don't know what it is not to be pampered and spoiled. I don't even want to try it. That's like saying to me, I'ma be broke. What do you mean? What? No. That don't work for me. That's not an option for me. I've never been that."

LisaRaye on her fall out with Star Jones and Vivica A. Fox and why she has sinced reached out to them:

Vivica A. Fox

"Star had my damn back. She is a friend, a confidante and the b-tch is smart. I never realised it was a problem until I looked up one day and realised I hadn’t spoken to her in so long that I was like, ‘Damn, where is she?’ Then I started hearing about the little shit that Vivica was saying–that I f-cked it up for all of us–I guess black women, or whatever–and I am thinking, why wouldn’t she say these things to me? I said, ‘Well, tell her to use her own influence to get what the f-ck she wants to get!” Never did I think that anything that I was going through would affect you and your career so much. Sorry.” I have reached out to both of them and asked what happened and what is their definition of a friendship. Where are they? I know a New York Daily News article came out saying that my new reality show was about revenge and airing out our dirty laundry, but I’m too grown for all of that. I would never tell any of my friends’ business, even if we aren’t friends anymore. There is no interest for me in that.”

LisaRaye on why she holds no hard feelings towards her ex-husband:

“I don’t feel bad about any of it. I was the famous face attached to Turks & Caicos that made [the marriage] what it was. That has helped his country. I believe that he cared about his country and he was a great leader for them. He brought a lot of money to that country and a lot of awareness. We both did. I am proud of that, very proud. Now, did he want his legacy to end his way? No! But I would get married again because I am a fan of love, I am a fan of a partnership, and it is much easier to fight this thing called life with someone by your side.”
