Who Else is lying about Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell?

Within the last two months, fans of Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell have come across information about the male actor being homosexual and this couple getting divorced. This was all rumors, and very insulting at best. The October 2007 issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine featured and interview with actress Tisha Campbell that exhibited a much different truth from what some media outlets have stated. This was refreshing, given that an earlier post discussed the false rumor behind Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell’s divorce and his so-called homosexuality. Hopefully, many people who are still concerned about this have read the October 2007 issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine or found truth somewhere else in the media.

Sister 2 Sister Magazine/October 2007


The divorce and so-called “homosexual” lifestyle of Duane Martin is inaccurate and a very cruel rumor. It is ridiculous that anyone would start to put this information out in the first place. When I was first given the news a few months ago from someone who had the story in a newspaper, I was surprised that such a talented and seemingly happy couple would divorce and it was not easy to believe that Duane Martin would be homosexual. However, since it was in a popular newspaper that also covered professional sports and politics, the news appeared to be accurate. From this whole fiasco, it is evident now more than ever that we cannot go on something that is printed or stated in any form of the media, especially when it is about celebrities.

One Madlab Post reader commented with concerns about it being such a big deal if someone is homosexual. While that concern is understandable, my focus at that time was on the fact that Tisha Campbell was being led on. I like both actors and my whole point in the initial post (prior to finding out that this was all nothing but false rumors) was the fact that if someone is gay, then be gay. Don’t perpetrate an act like you are something else and you’re not. That was not a position for just Duane Martin…..that goes for anybody. If you are gay, then be gay. If you are heterosexual than be that. If you are Bi, or a Swinger, etc. and the list goes on. You get the picture. Be who you are and do what it is that you want to do, what makes you happy.

Both Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell deserve to be happy. Another reader commented on the earlier post stating that it is their business. That is correct, no matter what is going on in Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell’s life. No one can argue with that because when it really comes down to it, who really needs to know everything about celebrities. Should people really care who Paris Hilton is dating when we have lots of environmental problems and should see more news shows that cover progress with curing major diseases and health conditions? However, what is more important is the fact that such a rumor began in the first place. It is very cruel and no one should print information that they know is false. This is a married couple that includes two very talented actors that we are talking about here.

Outside of being celebrities, Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell are parents, friends, business partners and loved ones to many people that many of us do not even know. Cruel rumors such as the ones that spread all over the place in the last few months affect the people in their lives as well. Therefore, it is very upsetting to have pointed out information that was actually false. For those who are still seeking out this divorce and “homosexual” news regarding Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell, the time has come to get things straight. IT IS FALSE. Any other place that has stated these rumors to be true is still trying to keep negative information flowing.

Tisha Campbell has spoken out about this, so there is no reason to believe any internet website, newspaper, magazine, tabloid or radio host that speaks of these rumors. While reading the October 2007 issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine, it was disturbing to find out that these rumors have even spread so far as to include even more false details about Duane Martin. This has to stop. It has been taken to the source….Tisha Campbell-MARTIN who confirmed that these are mere rumors. Therefore, if you are still wondering about the two actors and have refused to look for the truth, here is your answer…NO, Tisha Campbell and Duane Martin are NOT getting a divorce, NO, They did NOT get a divorce already and NO, Duane Martin is NOT homosexual. The rumors about this couple must stop NOW.
