Conde Nast Sues Turks & Caicos Over LisaRaye’s Ads

Condé Nast Publications is suing the island of Turks and Caicos and its tourist board for failing to pay over $1 million for advertising appearing in 2007 and 2008 issues of several publications.

The ads featured Misick’s then wife, LisaRaye McCoy.

The ads stirred controversy because the people of TCI did not want LisaRaye appearing in the ads because she is not from Turks and Caicos. They felt a native of the islands would be better.

The ads were also part of Misick’s corruption investigation because he paid LisaRaye $300,000 a month to appear in the ads and be the art director.

Check out the ads below:

We’re also hearing that LisaRaye may get her own reality show.  According to bvnewswire.com,LisaRaye (previously known as LisaRaye McCoy-Misick) will open up to the world about her complex personal life in a new reality television series on TV One.

The eight episode series, which was announced during the Television Critics Association late last week, is slated to premiere the spring of 2010.

    I’m a pretty well travelled person but I had heard very little about the Turks and Caicos Islands before Lisa Raye married their Prime Minister. I think she helped to put the place on the map. Several American celebrities vacation there now and it seems to be pretty popular, with the exception of her ex-husband’s corruption. Hope she doesn’t end up doing time for participating in some of those acts.

    The natives there seemed to hate her from the beginning, probably because she’s American. Islanders are usually pretty friendly to tourists, but I guess the same courtesy was not extended to their former first lady.

    The Islands are getting really bad rep due to this Mr. Misick’s problems. It’s a very nice place.
