This week comedian Eddie Murphy's ex-wife Nicole appeared on the Wendy Williams show and revived her two-month old kissing scandal with married director Antoine Fuqua [click here if you missed that].
Now we know why...
Apparently Nicole is purposely rubbing the affair in actress Lela Rochon's face.
From B. Scott
...sources exclusively reached out to lovebscott.com to confirm that not only did Nicole call the paparazzi to take the [kissing] photos — but she planned for four months and paid them to do it.
We’re also told that before the photos went public, the photos were sent to Antoine Fuqua’s family. His 15-year-old and 17-year-old are said to be ‘devastated’ and ’embarrassed’ by the scandal. Nicole was indeed a ‘family friend’ and their families would celebrate birthdays together when the kids were younger.
Lela Rochon is choosing to keep quiet and focus on the welfare of their kids — even though our sources also say Nicole Murphy has been taunting her through their mutual friends. She also feels like “the band-aid has been ripped off” with Nicole’s recent appearance on ‘Wendy.’
Fun Fact: Lela Rochon had prominent roles in two of Eddie Murphy's biggest movies, starring as Sunshine aka Lady Heroin in Harlem Nights and as the girl who was almost perfect, except for her feet, in Boomerang.
