HOLLYWOOD — Surviving Martin? Culture Spill released the documentary of Tisha Campbell-Martin who accused Martin Lawrence of sexual harassment on the set of their 90s comedy sitcom “Martin.” At the behest of her husband (Duane Martin), Tisha sued Martin in 1996 for “repeated and escalating sexual harassment, sexual battery, verbal abuse and related threats.” She claimed he groped her ass and tongue kissed her. At one point, Tisha implored the writing team to eschew scripting bedroom scenes. She also said Martin threatened to fire her and the entire cast. The case became so stressful, a disoriented Martin ran into the middle of L.A. traffic with a gun and yelled at drivers. “They’re trying to kill me!” he screamed. “Fight the establishment!” The dispute was eventually settled out of court. But the damage was done.
“Martin” was cancelled after 5 seasons (1992-1997).
Social media reaction was Icy Hot. One commenter wrote, “I believe she made everything up. She seems like the type of person who likes the spotlight and wants to have a story for acceptance. In other words, SHE’S A DAMN DRAMA QUEEN!” Another chimed in with, “Martin was in love with her but she wanted Duane.” A third viewer added, “I feel Tisha’s husband was behind it all! She was in an abusive marriage that was very stressful, which transferred negative aggression into her work issues with Martin!”
After not speaking to each other for 25 years, Tisha and Martin mended fences last year on BET’s “Martin: The Reunion.”
It was incredibly awkward to say the least.
But give ’em credit for making up.
Watch the documentary.

“They” used her to cancel him, but he stayed loyal to the agenda, so he was able to bounce back with a dress and wig of course…now she’s seeking attention and trying to stay relevant….girl bye!
That doesn’t even sounds like Martin
I don’t like her. I’ve never liked her. She’s loud & classless. I can’t ever see myself being around the man that assaulted me, and we were in a long term relationship.
She was the first one to jump for a reboot.
Dave Chappelle said all he needed to say in regards to Martin.
There, I said it!
Like many things, sounds like the truth is somewhere in between. Sounds like Martin Lawrence is (or was) just a general asshole to everyone. Maybe she forgives him now, or just doesn’t care about it (because she probably has nothing to fear, and has better agents now) and just wants a paycheck.
This is wild. Never knew none of this even happened
Anybody ever noticed how big Tisha Campbell’s forehead is??
Duanne and Will Smith were having an affair, Gina married to Duanne, Duanne dont like martin. Martin and Will cool. Martin and Gina having an affair…. Too much
Just think about it , as soon as Tisha and Dwayne divorced now Tisha was “comfortable ” with being around Martin.
I am just amazed how Tichina could remain friends with both Tisha and Martin through the years.
Tisha probably had too many people in her ear. It happens when you have a successful show and the money is flowing. Tisha and Martin go back a long time and they have been in lots and lots of movies together so I believe they are friends. Tisha was probably being pulled by both her husband and her role in the show and was confused. She shouldn’t have sued Martin because he did a lot for her and kept his promise to her to be on his show. I believe Martin did have feelings for her and she should have chosen Martin instead of broke-ass Dwayne, even now Martin is wealthy, but can’t say the same for Dwayne and Tisha.
Tisha killed that show and she now regrets it. Life became tougher after the show than she could have expected. That’s hollywood for you. One or two successes don’t guarantee you a permanent place in hollywood. Trisha and her now ex-husband know that by now.
Both of them were freaks 😆. Martin just got caught up in the good good.
Always had crush on tisha😍
She chose the wrong martin
Her fake azz husband Duane Martin drained the 💩 out of her bank account. Had her filing bankruptcy. Fool didn’t have a real movie role since Above The Rim.
She must be stressed cuz she looking bad now she didn’t age well
She never liked him like that. His 1st wife kinda looked like her. 😏
Her best friend played his wife after this 💁🏽♂️
So Martin wasn’t perfect???? Who tf is?…..I’m happy to see that they’ve moved on.
She’s best friend with Tichina Arnold (Pam). After the show went off the air, Martin and Tichina was on Big Momma’s House and they played husband and wife on Wild Hogz.
I think Martin and Tisha was smashing…then Tisha wanted to cut Martin off abruptly and get with Dwayne..Martin felt played..no man in his right mind could just walk away from Gina back then…her booty alone will have any man sprung.
Wow! Didn’t know all that. The way she was ” kissing his butt” on the reunion😐
one thing it truly find disgusting is everyone blaming tisha & calling her out but failed to realize is the kinda man she was in a relationship with – her ex husband duane was power hunger & jealous of the relationship herself and martin had; who wouldn’t? but he took it to the far side and what I believe he did was (NO PROOF OR EVIDENCE MY OPINION) is tried to twist martins affection from the feelings he had and channeled her into her mindset from when she was sexually assaulted as a child – now this could be incorrect but I truly believe all this leads to her ex husband, notice how as soon as they split she was open back to him.
She simply has no reason to lie. He clearly has/had emotional issues. Her husband should have instigated the lawsuit… He should’ve beat martin ass. I don’t know how she got skipped in the “me too” movement lol
Oh wtf cares that sh!t was 26 years ago.
I think Martin did exactly what Tisha said he did just looking at the scenes you can clearly see he was a little overbearing even tichina said she understood why Tisha had to leave also Martin was heavily on drugs and alcohol so he probably didn’t see it as being sexual if she repeatedly asked him to stop and he wouldn’t then she did what was best for her and I completely support her decision overall I love them both together on the show and Martin is a comedy genius but that’s no reason to say she’s lying and for the record no one from the show spoke out about the situation but several of them had their own issues with Martin soooo ijs
She is a queen 👸
Liar
He was running from the Illuminati…As far as Sexual allegations..She could have quit at anytime. Maybe he was a dog..but she stayed in the yard.
I don’t know what to believe from either of them,just let it go,it’s been decades since-WHATEVER-happened.
Martin harassed her from season 1 all the way to season 5?…bullshit!!…I think they were involved off-screen then when things went south Tisha was done but Martin wasn’t and with his drugs he got obsessed and couldn’t accept Tisha hooking-up with Duane Martin….Yes Tisha is lying if she insist that she had no off-screen involvement with Martin…
She was all in his mouth at first. When she got a man it became a problem.
I would want to see a brutha man from the 5th floor spin off lol
Surviving Martin? If y’all don’t shut the hell up with this bullshit.
I kind of believe her after hearing about how he treated Carl Anthony Payne. Martin seemed to be a toxic person to work with!
Ain’t no surviving Martin like he did something. Her husband was jealous and was saying stupid shit to make her believe, so she start moving weird. As you can see Pam or anybody on that stage never came out and said anything wrong about Martin or if he did anything. Years later it was all a lie.
My point is did he or didn’t he. I hate to think that she lied on him and made all the cast members lose their job over a lie. If he did do what she claimed was there an apology to her. Cuz I tried watching the Martin Reunion and all I could think of is now she’s kissing his ass like nothing ever happened. She must be broke and looking for favors
This is my own opinion but i feel that Martin & Tisha was fucking around and word got back to Tisha’s dude Duane. And then things got blown all out of proportion.
Women in America act like they’re so perfect. Lying bitches, brainwashers
Duane clown ass was mad as shit watching martin & gina on the couch 🤣🤣
I honestly think they were fine with their situationship until Duane came along. Her and Duane started dating, and her and Martin’s situationship changed. Obviously ego is a factor, but Martin needed time to adjust, and his behavior towards her might not have been appropriate in her new relationship at the time. Meaning flirting, touching, insulation’s, etc… She wasn’t responding how she normally would because she was moving fast and respected her marriage. They’re fine now because time heals wounds, and her and Duane aren’t together, but realistically speaking, the drama was never that serious.
Tisha Campbell’s hubby 🤔 was in love with Martin. I really hope the truth comes out 🤔😩
Tisha Campbell wanted to do an album during taping of the season, and they producers of the show said no. Duane Martin came up with a plan to tell her to say Martin was touching her so she could get out of her contract.
Martin was the first person Tisha called when she was getting a divorce from Duane…. Would be strange to be contacting someone that used to “touch me”
Blog King, you sucking tisha’s tiddy !! Now do a blog on how Martin feels about her
I think Martin was more attracted to Tichina Arnold.
They already settled this shit forever ago…..
Her punk ass husband was jealous of Martin
Ok enough of that. Bring Martin back. Gina left right, then 20 years later she runs into Martin. Comes to find out Martin has a son he doesn’t know about with Gina. Pam and Martin are married by this time. Tommy passed away and Cole and the dingy girl has a daughter and is married as well.
I don’t think Tichina Arnold would have worked with Martin Lawrence on Big Momma’s House or played his wife in Wild Hogs if Martin sexually harassed her long-time friend.
She’s divorced now she might as well spill the TRUTH
