TV One has set a date for actress LisaRaye McCoy's upcoming reality show, 'LisaRaye: The Real McCoy.'
The eight-episode series is set to premiere April 8 at 9 p.m. EST.
As previously reported, the new show will follow the Chicago native as she raises her 19 year-old daughter Kai and provides advice to her incarcerated sister, platinum-selling rapper Da Brat – all while taking care of her ailing mother.
It's been 12 years since the 41 year-old made her feature film debut as Diamond in 'The Players Club.'
A trailer for her docu-drama shows the former 'All of Us' star meeting with acting coaches to work on her career, not to mention making time for some of her big-name friends like Jamie Foxx, Lil' Jon and the Rev. Al Sharpton, with whom she's been romantically linked.
McCoy prides herself on keeping it real is definitely doing just that in her new show.
"I cannot watch the news because it hurts my feelings," she stated. A trailer for the show finds McCoy questioning her daughter Kai about whether she used a condom, bungee jumping with her cousin/assistant Quincy, and on numerous photo shoots with stylist Joe Exclusive.
In another exclusive interview with Jaime Foster Brown, McCoy shared her frustration with her estranged husband Michael Misick, the former Premiere of Turks and Caicos.
"I'm mad because I never ran government in Turks and Caicos," she said. "I get married to become a first lady and that was not a part of my plan and I damn sure didn't want to be involved with anybody that was going to be a part of any type corruption at all at no type of level. I could have stayed right here where I'm from in the States to do that."
"What I put aside meaning my career to come help this small country bring awareness to tourism there, they don't sell coffee and they don't sell sugar, meaning they only rely on tourism to make money there, I did that and I did that well," she continued.
"So for me to be going through what I'm going through just to get my money out of this settlement and being ridiculed the way that I am. It makes me mad that I'm fighting for something that I don't have anything to do with. We agreed that we don't belong together. Let me get back to what I do and do what all you wanna do and do what you've been doing," she charged.
There's sure to be more of the no-holds-barred conversations on 'LisaRaye: The Real McCoy,' when it airs this spring..

She often gives the impression that she thinks far more of herself than others - but, I thought to give her a break when she appeared as a guest on the panel of judges on one of my favorite shows, TVOne's "Who's Got Jokes".
She didn't disappoint, in that she had this funky attitude when spurned by the audience for judging a contestant harshly. Of course, to redeem herself, she did make an effort to seem more compassionate afterwards but by then the damage was done.
Lisa's an attractive, ghetto-fabulous woman, who at times has been willing to do whatever it takes to be recognized, no matter how embarrassing or undignified the measure. Some say desperate acts are necessary for those who want to be in the spotlight - but, she lacks such humility that I would not be compelled to watch her show.

I have been a fan of lisa's since the "players club,to "all of us", etc. She is a gorgeous woman. She needs to blast her so-called friends who did not support her through her rough times with the ex. I will watch all episodes, can't wait to see her put the so-called best friends NOT in their place.

Lisa Raye, Lisa Raye, too beautiful for reality trash T.V. If its money you tryin to make then handle your business. However, do be precautious in the decisions you make, last thing you want to do is sell your soul to the devil. Peace of mind and happiness is a fortune that will last a lifetime!!

Lisa keep on doing what you do because obviously you must be doing something right. You still have your beauty, fame, and fortune. Even if you don't get your alimony, you still have what it takes to get paid; beauty and brains.

I find it repulsive the way Lisa tongue-kisses her daughter's cheek and close to the mouth. One time she embraced her daughter like a man embrasses a woman and gives her this long french kiss on Kai's cheek. Lisa Raye claims she "draws energy from her daughter:. I see this to be incestuous; and then no one addresses it or even sees this as a form of abuse and then puts it on TV. Does anyone else have a problem with this?
