Not So Blind Item
Someone in the camp of a former talk show Diva forwarded this terse text message exchange between the Diva and an actress that we all know and love. The insider felt that the talk show Diva blew off the actress who was only extending an olive branch in hopes of mending their broken relationship.
Basically, the actress reached out to the Diva to wish her a speedy recovering, having just heard that she was recently released from a hospital after undergoing heart surgery.
But old grievances die hard in this industry. And people (especially women) tend to hold grudges forever.
Here’s the original (unedited) text message sent to the former talk show Diva followed by her terse response:
dear ****,I JUST got off an interview & while they asked me about the ending of r friendship they also told me you’d been n the hospital.I’m sure everything went perfect & u r recovering well for I know yr spirit! I’m sorry 2 hear about yr difficulty.It’s times like this when u are suppose 2 set aside any differences…..I care about u.Remembering r good times, u r n my prayers & still my heart! Get well soon! I am the same ******** u grew 2 know.Take Care U!!!
Here’s the unedited reply:
you have been in my thoughts also… Thank you for the good wishes and the kind words. I appreciate the sincerity of your spirit.
_______…Please don’t concern yourself with any past drama. Life is far too short. I assure you that I hold no animosity toward you and wish you great success in everything you do.I’m sure you can understand that given all I’ve had to handle…I have chosen a simpler, more streamlined and less drama filled life, so if I can ask one favor: I would appreciate it if in promoting your projects…you would steer the questions away from me. Admittedly, no one has ever asked me anything so I don’t know the position you’re in…but a simple “we’re fine” will go a long way to raise the level of the conversation…and allow you to enjoy the success without making about anyone else.
Again…your note was very much appreciated and extremely thoughtful.
Best,

So you abbreviate words that are only 3 letters long but not the ones that are 10 letters long? Is it that you don’t know how? Can sone one please help me with this cause I really wanna know!
Morning Fam,
I see no grudge here Sandra. She politely told LisaRaye we’re good but keep my name out of your mouth chick. I see nothing wrong with that.
side eye..cause she’s basically sayin keep my name out your mouth.
Y’all no good and well that sh!t is fake like Brown said you shorten you but spell out long ass words and type complete paragraghs? #wheretheydothatat
AND who starts a text with Dear____?
HUMMMM…..

As well she should, but she stated it w/ decorum. I’ve heard 2 Lisa Raye interviews where she’s dwelling on Star and Vivica. Get over it Lisa. Don’t create ‘drama’ (in your head) to promote your newest endeavors. You didn’t even know the woman was hospitalized so it can be assumed that you weren’t reaching out/keeping in touch with her either.
Umm, whoever wrote the first text seems a bit hood.
There is nothing wrong with the reply.
1. Thanks
2. I’m living my life drama-free
3. Please don’t talk about me or mention my name
4. Wish you the best.
Sandra, stop trying to stir up mess. NO ONE cares about Lisa Raye’s drama but her. And I’m sure if this text mess is true – it didn’t come from Star’s camp. Diamond got her new Blackberry and wanted to share with you.
Next!
i call bullshyt on this alleged exchange of texts. aren’t there character limits to text messages, as well?
Make sense! Two grown women patching up a old friendship during a hard time. And 1 getting what she’s had on her chest off.
I wanna know how this “insider” got a hold of the text. We’ve all seen how Star can go off so when she finds out it is gonna be drama! Unless it was someone from Diamond’s camp and they’re tryin to squeeze it into her show!
I guess I missed the big grudge because there’s nothing wrong with Star’s note. However, some things shouldn’t be handled via text even if it is 2010. Maybe it’s just me but when you start abbreviating with “yr” and “2″ it just loses sincerity.
I see no grudge in this. She was right, make the interview about you and take the shine off of drama! Whatever Sandra, LisaRaye will get you “Rasheeda” treatment in a few months!
@ Brown I’m about you send you a Lisa/Star IM!
If I didn’t feel like I was fightin a kid I would fight you when I saw you Nika!
Keep it up and I”m gonna send you a Tiny IM and see if you can decipher that crap!
An actress we know and love
then this is not about Skeezer Raye.
& from the convo I don’t see why Starr’s people would’ve “leaked” this text message. Wouldn’t it go against everything she just wrote
& lets do the facts…
Gold Digger Raye has a show about to come out so she needs all the publicity she can get.
This text was found on Sandra site where Skeezer has already done interviews and has an inside connection.
Yeah this item isn’t so blind. Stevie Wonder can see this has been is trying every trick under the sun to get people to watch her show.
All I can say is that is the best picture of Star that I have ever seen, thatisall.
what actress we all ‘know and love’? confused as a mofo
I love your gravi pic @CwhatsherFace
Im Toya’s biggest fan
No drama here…
I think Star’s alleged response was well stated.
She thanked her…then educated her on how to handle the questions going forward.
She even provided encouragement by saying: Let the interview be about you..sweets!! simply say “We’re fine” and move on.
I see no DRAMA
I thought Star’s note was very professional . . no tea, no shade. She just said thanks, refrain from using me to sell your shows and keep it moving, but wave if I see ya in the street.
Checkmate
I see nothing wrong with this exchange…
Dear @ Browm,
I really hate that you would want to fight me becuase I was professional enough to send you an IM regarding you health. smdh lol
Bestest,

*~*~*~*~*~*
My phone doesn’t have a character limits on texts. I can type a text a million characters long, it just keeps count of how many texts it equals.
As for an actress “we all know and love”…*crickets chirping* because I’m sure that couldn’t be Lisa Raye.
As for the response, I thought it was very cordial and nothing rude at all. It could even read that she’s open to renewing the friendship but just doesn’t want media attention…
which brings me to this. Isn’t it ironic that Star doesn’t want Media Attention but from the time (G)Al proposed to her on national tv she’s been loving it. It’s only when her marriage fell apart that she went into hiding. She’s not private…just embarrassed.
These are not texts!! I wanna know what phone she got…cause I can’t type paragraphs on my phone. Who got this much time in their day to type all this on a phone??
I don’t see anything wrong with what was written
She said thank you and don’t mention my name in nothing you doing cause I don’t want no high school drama in my life. At least she got a civil reply back!!
Uhhhh I onlt have 2 things to comments;
1. an actress that we all know and love<<<<<<since when did you start loving the “no point of wearing white to appear virginal cuz we know you aint” Lisa Raye and how much are they paying you? I’m just asking….
2. Star basically said “thanks but no thanks”…What’s wrong with that?
Star imo is looking better than LisaRaye in this pic…
Sandra, Sandra, Sandra smh at you girl the text was very eloquent…
OK, I understand per AM’s post that Diamond gets choked up when she reads negative comments but this is what she knows she is gonna get when she does the ‘publicity stunts’.
LisaRaye:aint nobody checking for you boo. TMZ followed ochocinco and called you an unnamed woman but they knew Tommy Davidson’s name and he drives a 85 Sciroco. Do your show. Try to be great without pulling Vivica and Star into the equation. Instead of sending texts to Sandra go in the audience of Dancing with the Stars and when it cuts to commercials, do a blast from the past and give a random guy a lap dance so that someone can remember where they know you from.
#thatisall
oooh lord forgive all my typos….
the first line should have read:
Uhhhh, I only have 2 things to comment on;
@ gyps
i’ma need u to cut.it.out!
i’m trying to work and play at the same time dammit! 
this shyt right here…

I still can’t figure out why Dwayne Wade fugged Star Jones….unless he was usisng Star to get his turn with
Diamond*ahem* Lisa Raye. That’s the only reason that I would do it.Gypsy I am on my loud cheap ass rollerskates skatin around heaven!
Dear SandraRose,
Thank you for this weak azz irrelevant post with one has been with no future and a trained lawyer who although being an astute observer still married a flamboyantly gay man. The only people who care about LisaRaye are you and the next trick whose pockets her hands hope to be in. I’m not a blogger, so I do not know what positions you are in, but take it from me, nobody gives a shlit.
Best,
Hey Quetta V- you been lurking like a faggot in home depot again?
@ gypseyes… Nah I was lurking like a faggot in an eye spy costume.
@Speak and Brown- I’m is sawwy u is dead. But can you please ask baby jesus if LisaRaye is going about it the right way with wearing all that white to get in heaven?
Uhhhh gypsyeyes boo boo, you are going strait to h.ell with gasoline drawls on for that one!
What I do? You don’t thing that was a logical question?
Don’t see nothing wrong w/ the texts….this probably a publicity stunt cuz her show probably close 2 coming out…did any1 see the trailer 4 chili show or basketball wives on vh1?
damn gypsy you cut her deep
Mother Jefferson… I just died when I seen your gravi!!!!
*thing=think* sorry

Maybe that was mean but it was funny as hell. I mean lets think about this. You have a show coming out on ‘TVone’. That isn’t even on basic cable anymore. She should be making her rounds. You know I was watching Oprah yesterday and Tracy Morgan said something that was so enlightening. He said that he was so used to doing Def Jam Comedy that he thought that he was just black people funny until Lorne Michaels told him that he didn’t hire him cause he was black but because he was funny.
Black people: stop just doing ‘black’ stuff. Branch out so that someone other than us can see you. Doing youtube videos for some Karl Kani type dude aint gonna get you noticed but doing auditions for something outside of your little ‘white outfit and matching white shoes’ will get you further. I.E. Mc Lyte, Regina King.
Good point @Gyps…she should start wearing more brown
@ gypsyeyes what the he.ll is wrong with you this morn? Karl Kani????

I 2nd that. These women need to chill with all that bull crap.It makes no sense.
I just had a meetin with the powers that be and they said
1. Lisa Raye wears white so much is because it mkaes her feel close to the clouds and she knows that’s as closed as she’s ever gonna get to heaven.
2. Her reality show is an attempt to revive her fledgling career and that term was used loosely, they held back a lugh while saying it.
3. Out of all people she picked Al Sharpton to give her guidance with her show
The same who kept hiding his Escalade for 6 months cause they were lookin for it to repossess it
4. The same man who didn’t fact check when representing Tawana Brawley to find out she was lying when she said she was raped!
5. SHe has delusions od grandeur because all 5 people that she thinks were intersted in her and asked “where has Lisa Raye been” were her family members!
excuse my typos yall, I was on a phone call!
Takes shovel to dig own grave:
Cause I am DEAD!!
Brownsuga, the most you can do is send a coverd dish over to my family.
this shyt right here…
“Doing youtube videos for some Karl Kani type dude aint gonna get you noticed”

**jumps up outta casket and starts doin’ the stanky leg**
gyps, please stop!
**snatches shovel from ggouch and starts shoveling dirt over my own casket**
I had a really good nights rest. I woke up feeling refreshed and brand new. So new I just did a youtube video for Karl Kani. They are coming out with a new shoe. The only color that it comes in is white and when you walk to the left it plays “doo doo brown”. We tried to contact LisaRaye but she was doing the cover of Black Tittays magazine with a dingy white bikini because Clorox has sued her for misrepresenting their brand.
@ KaraZ
Team Rev Al
he made his mistakes like everybody else but I love that he takes action and his radio show keeps me informed!
@ Gypsy
you going in (in my wayne voice)
ggouch I’m already rollerskatiin arouns heaven in my old school metal roller skates! You know, the kind that hurt your ears!
Not Larl Kani……!!!! *just passed out at gypsyeyes comment*
OOPS kARL
Nika I’ll get the Truthette’s to sing (If they’re still alive)
:I-O:
i don’t think there’s anything wrong with her response… she’s being the bigger person & giving her tips so that she can allow it to be about just LR… letting her enjoy her moment
OMG. You all are going to get me fired. I am screaming and crying over here. I ususally just lurk but this is too funny
Ok, I promise that this is my last
question for the day. Has anybody else seen the new video from Kiely Williams called “spectacular” and actually listened to the words????? I feel so sad for the younger generation when this is what they look up to.
Am I missing something? I don’t see a problem.
It doesn’t sound like Star is holding a grudge against Lisa Raye. Star seems to have moved on and she is encouraging Lisa to do the same.
shannon choco said she liked it and she felt she could give rhi rhi a run for her money
@brown i just watched that trash kiely made!! wth
Same thing going on in the blogosphere:
LisaRaye = Attorneymom
Vivica & Star= Sandra and Gina.
I so understand how LisaRaye feels. You try to extend an olive branch and it is knocked to the ground.
I don’t know if this **** is real or not but calling bull**** on it based on the fact that the person who wrote the first letter shortened words like “you” and “are” to u and r but didn’t shorten the longer words makes no sense. You and are are easily and commonly abbreviated to “u” and “r,” how would one abbreviate “difficulty?” Even though you could shorten it, it’s not commonly done.
It doesn’t seem terse to me. It was very friendly in light of the fact that Lisa Raye keeps talking about their falling out like a child. And here she is doing it again, but leaking this text. That woman is some kind of crazy.
I don’t blame Star for asking her to keep quiet. On the flippy, she should be glad ANYONE is asking about her.
