There are more details coming out of the Turks & Caicos islands surrounding that dust up between the Premier Michael Misick and his wife, actress LisaRaye McCoy-Misick earlier this week.
According to local news reports, LisaRaye wasn’t alone when she bum rushed a meeting between Misick and his cabinet ministers on Wednesday night. According to Misick’s spokesperson, LisaRaye, her cousin Phillip Travis, and her publicist Lynn Allen Jeter, “assaulted the guard at the Premier’s home, and proceeded to ransack the house, and then assaulted the Premier and his sister.”
Now that’s gully when your publicist rides for you like that. Who ever heard of a publicist kicking in doors and throwing ‘bows for her clients? A better question is: was the publicist arrested too?
It can’t be a good thing for any publicist to get too intertwined in the personal lives of their clients because then they have to write press releases to cover up their own shady actions. Anyway, I was so intrigued by the thought of a gangsta publicist that I did a little research on Lynn Allen Jeter.
Acording to her Myspace page, Lynn, who launched Lynn Allen Jeter PR in 1980, is 33-years-old. Her clients include R&B legend Diana Ross, Nelson Mandela, Motown Records and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. (and we know how gully those AKAs can be).
Jeter has also, at one time, handled publicity chores for Da Brat (LisaRaye’s play play “sister”), and Magic Johnson (who is as gully as they come). Most of you don’t know that it was Jeter who started this whole mess by emailing the details of Misick’s sordid affair with BET 106 & Park co-host Rocsi, to key industry execs and select media.
“We knew about him and Rocsi for a minute. But [Jeter] literally blew the door wide open on that scandal,” said an industry exec, who asked to remain anonymous. “[Jeter] told LisaRaye, ‘let me handle this, baby. I got this!,’ and she handled it!,” laughed the exec.
“No job is too big or too small. We do it all, whether it’s 2 or 50,000 people,” asserts Lynn Allen Jeter on her company website. Now that’s gully!
